What do you even need those graphics cards for?
Even the best games don’t require those and if they did, I wouldn’t be interested in them, especially if it’s an online game.
Probably only a couple people would be playing said game with me.

I wantnto say thst i really really like the way SailfishOS looks, those gnome icons are unmatched in phones.
I just don’t think Sailfish OS is ready for daily use at all. Like, it needs a few more years in the oven before it can be even considered for mass consumption. These small companies unfortunately need to play it safe.
Yes Android is US-based but it’s also open-source. Doesn’t mean that fact can’t change of course, but I don’t see better EU alternatives ATM.
cant swap the battery without a screwdriver anymore
The horror. Imagine using any other phone where you can’t take the battery out at all (at least until 2027 when all phones will be forced to have removable batteries).
I think Fairphone has bigger contentions to deal with than having to use a screwdriver.
Indeed.
This phone is so niche that the only OS that it only makes sense to work in being compatible with GrapheneOS, the crème de la crème of custom OSes.
I’d just ship from Pixel immediately if Fairphone ups their game to the point GrapheneOS wants to work with them.
Go read Taiwan’s constitution, it’s right there. The only reason why Taiwan doesn’t talk about it publicly is because in international relations being the oppressed underdog gets you more diplomatic points.
In real terms, most countries don’t recognise Taiwan’s independence either, and that includes the EU and the US.
The US only pays lip service to Taiwan’s independence because it’s a free talking point in their broader “China Bad” propagan machine.
It is though. Both countries claim the other part to be part of the other. Denying that is just western histeria.
it’s like Spain wanting Catalonia to be under control. Why would Spain want to lose control of a part of their own country?
Lmao in hindsight I probably didn’t read the graph correctly. Apparently more people want on desktop. I was looking at the dovosoon by country.
Still, are people watching porn in cafes? Or worse, are they masturbating in public? Hmm…
Well, I’m confused as well. Like, I never ever watched porn on my phone. Only on desktop. But apparently I’m a 6% minority.
Install an update and it’s borked? No worries
OpenSUSE also does this.
New PC and you want everything set up just like your old one?
Install scripts? Of course the individual apps definitions still need to be set up again, but I’d imagine it’s the same for Nix?
Is your hardware always the exact same? Because if it isn’t, then I’m sure you have to do modifications to your config file. And at that point you night as well just use a regular distro instead.
We know what the internet would have been without Google and other corporations closing it down because some of us lived it.
It was mostly decentralised niche forums that you had to know the links for, and you’d receive random emails telling you to visit this or that new site. People would also share links around school.
Sure, there was a chance you’d get Chlamydia if you opened the wrong link, but it was exciting and overall the experience was wholesome.
The Fifteen Million Merits episode of Black Mirror was supposed to be a warming.
But instead it seems corporations used it as a guide, and people just accepted having ads bombarded into their skulls in exchange for content, instead of getting enraged by it.
That guy is a jackass. Probably an American upset that he’s a minority on Lemmy. Don’t mind him.
I often think communities like Lemmy choose to disproportionately hate on things. In this case it’s Windows, which I really don’t think is warranted.
But it is, though. You just choose to not see it that way. Laptops aren’t cheap and Windows comes priced into the purchase. They already made money from you, that was always their business model.
For me, if I already paid for the product, that’s it. The company loses the right to advertise to me and milk me for further revenue, and just because its industry standard it doesn’t make it okay: the law should be tighter around this. Full stop.
When you install windows from fresh, you have a bunch of “suggested” apps on your task bar which are ads. Spotify for example.
Then you also have Notifications that tell you the news, which are sponsored news. Then you have other notifications telling you to use this or that Microsoft service (eg. oneDrive), another form of ads.
If you have the know-how to install windows 11/without logging into a Microsoft account, the notifications pester you endlessly to log in to a Windows account, which uses an outlook email, of course.
If you use a browser that isn’t Edge, you’ll be routinely “reminded” how amazing edge is. Also, even if you uninstall Edge, it reinstalls itself after every update. Same happens with Copilot. Even if you don’t want to see those programs, because they are ever-present, you’re more likely to use them.
All of these are forms of ads and outright user abuse, probably worthy of having Microsoft being fined again. Maybe you don’t care, but this is definitely happening.
I’m also in the EU, my laptop was bought in the EU.
but then again, I had to practically force uBlock Origin down my friends’ throat after finding that they’ve had ads on YouTube for years and didn’t really care.
This is insane to me. How people can use the internet with ads is just beyond me.
And you wanna know the full hypocrisy? Google Chrome also comes with an Ad blocker, on by default. They block ads they don’t deem good, but allow all ads from AdSense, of course.
That is 100% a legit reason to leave a partner. I, for one, can’t stand stupid people. Can’t imagine having that as a partner.
You mother fucker… You’re hired.
Do you trust them? The Curve sub is full of people complaining about fraudulent transactions. Kinda makes me afraid of unlocking my card lol.
