Great, thanks for driving up the price and thus making the market more attractive. This is a never ending waste of time, money, energy and life.
Rotate the left display 90 degrees clockwise. Now they’re both in landscape. Ta-da!
Sorry, I’ll see myself out.
Wait you can forward X through Termux? TIL.
I agree that alternative app stores are definitely a boon and I can’t wait for the EU to nail Apple to the wall over dragging their feet on that. Competition is good and that 30% fee monopoly is bullshit.
There are iOS terminal clients (I like Termius). The ROM thing, yeah… I installed /e/OS on my Fairphone 4 just for the privacy aspect, but functionally it’s not better or worse than what came in the box. There might be reasons to do it but utility-wise I don’t very well see the point in this day and age.
I hadn’t thought of the developer license requirement to run your own software, I personally don’t do that but I can see it being a deal breaker. Thanks for your thoughts. :)
This is a common argument and it always makes me wonder what people mean by it. No ill intent from my end here, I use and like Apple as well as FOSS, but I can’t think of anything I can do on Android that I can’t on iOS. I admit I’m a very basic user though, I prefer to do heavy lifting on a laptop.
I am genuinely curious. Do you have some examples?
Sanity? On the INTERNET!? No! Scoop out your brain and light your pitchfork! Reeeee!

I was just quoting the Hitchhiker’s Guide.
Sure, you can technically opt out, but Displate is counting on users glossing over the possibility until they have a reason to want to opt out at which point it will be too late (i.e. they want to sue or take them to small claims court or whatever).
It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard’.
Why bother with X? Just do l33t CLI h4xx0rs
Casio gang report in!
I think that’s a rule from the 1870’s mostly aimed at preventing black people from voting.
…what? A meme is an interpretation of a template by definition.
I’m a schizophrenic that switches between Apple and FOSS regularly. It’s gotten to the point where I have an iPhone and a 14" M1 Pro MBP, and also a FairPhone and a Thinkpad T480 upgraded to the gills.
Yes, the Apple ecosystem is like a warm blanket. If you use it the way Apple intended it’s smooth as butter, a completely seamless experience that generally does what it says on the tin with a great user experience. The screens, speakers, build quality and integrated software experience are the best on the planet if you ask me.
However, you live in Apple’s fortress and they can turn that into a prison any time they want. Also if you’re not particularly happy with some way MacOS, but especially i(Pad)OS, does a thing, you’re either shit out of luck or you have to install a paid app that breaks standard workflow. I guess a good way to put this is that Apple has been making appliances of late, rather than computers. Less so for MacOS which is still pretty open to configuration.
The reason I keep switching to FOSS is idealism; I want my hard- and software to belong to me and only me. That also means I am responsible if things break or they don’t work as well as they should. It’s up to me to fix or improve. That sometimes annoys the hell out of me at which point I will switch back to Apple until such time I read a post or view a video that rants about proprietary bullshit and how surveillance/late stage/attention capitalism is ruining the world and round and round we go.
For this latest stint I bought the Thinkpad and upgraded the hell out of it (I figure if Linux is going to run well on anything it’s a Thinkpad). Hope it sticks this time.
Oh it’s a cutout from a screenshot that shows the lines that trace comment depth. It implies there’s a huge argument going on.
Lemme go grab popcorn.
Much cheaper, no electricity required, no ChatGPT generated clickbait horseshit AND you can kill flies!
Yes, that has been the norm in Europe. Most people here do not have AC.
