I didn’t realize the hardware of an iPhone is superior to hardware of other flagship phones.

Why do you need an iPhone to get a Linux phone?

Reddit was full of bots but the people are just savvy enough to make an account. Lemmy’s users are not a general representation of the public, but more of the technical kind. You can probably describe most users just by the most popular posts and interactions here. So…

Male Atheist Liberal In their late 20s but majority in their 30s, with a large amount of trekkies in their 40s for some reason. Pc technical, can use a pc well enough to understand above the basic concepts of the best buy laptop the general public use. Too involved in the world affairs causing rigid pessism of most people who don’t share their views. If you don’t think like us you’re one of “them”.

Oh and anonymous keyboard warriors. Everyone can be a “professional” on a subject if they can dissect a comment someone made and Google any relevant information to refute their arguments. It’s pretty much this that makes them ruder.

Yes it literally has the update notes in fdroid saying they updated their browser integration to comply with Google services. It was most likely an abrupt code and compliance issue generated automatically.

Maybe. Who am I to judge.

Clever.

Are we just making up words now?

Oh no worries. I misunderstood you.

Oh. OP suggested blocking the wheels and you said why wouldn’t you.

I guess you meant why wouldn’t you to him talking to his neighbors. To that I agree. I miss the days where neighbors all knew each other and regularly talked.

People don’t like being told they’re wrong. Especially on their own stuff. Kind suggestions to a neighbor will go better than just unsolicited blocking their trailer. Imagine them hitching up within hours of this picture being taken, start to drive off and then damage their trailer coming off makeshift blocks that you so graciously put there without their consent.

Sure bud. I can tell most people here like to huddle around their favorite apps browsing lemmy and have strong opinions on things that honestly have no bearings on them.

This isn’t affecting you. 9/10 that trailer isn’t going anywhere.

You suppose they’ll be thankful for pointing out they’re incompetent at blocking their trailer?

A kind suggestion would go miles

So dramatic. People don’t like being told they’re doing something wrong. You can suggest but yes. Their stuff their mistakes.

But that also doesn’t translate. If the moment the photon is created (from whatever reaction that caused the light source), to the moment it hit the person’s eyes had no time pass (nothing in the universe moved) then it would be instantly created and observed by the observer. But the moment the switch turns on and the moment the photon hits the observer (as miniscule as this distance is) the eye of the observer has moved from A: switch goes on to B: observed.

Yeah no time passes for the photon I guess, but the universe still moved around the photons travel.

I feel attacked lol my reason was literally COD. That and I haven’t had the capacity to dive into running Linux yet…

Is it because Microsoft is the big dog with money and Linux is no dog because there is no company backing Linux? Windows sells solely because Windows can push the product?

Would it be benificial (albeit this will be extremely frowned upon by this community I believe) for a Linux distro to be backed and monetized via a corporation with a legal team to help push a Linux product on the shelves? In the short run it’s a bad idea, but in the long run it’ll familiarize the public, and push software developers for compatability. The incentive being that there’s money now involved and it won’t be a project for people.

Because right now to use Linux for the majority of user case operations you’d need at least computer science 101 to start installing a distro, partitions, manual software installation, to get running. Or am I wrong on this part?

That’s really cool I didn’t know that was an option already. How does Ubuntu and windows compare for operating system support if I have a problem with the laptop? Is the manufacturer liable for the smooth running of the operating system? Or is the owner of the operating system liable?

So if you did open a computer shop and are selling this plethora of Linux options, doesn’t that leave you liable if there are issues with the operating system?

If I buy a laptop and my windows is running poorly don’t I have windows support taking care of my windows problems?

If I buy a laptop from you with mint installed and am having problems I can’t contact Linux for support, I’ll have to contact you the shop owner.

Won’t this liability discourage shop owners from selling laptops/desktops with Linux?

Call me naive, I know I am. But how can Linux be a moderated product to sell for desktop? I know phones run Linux, and many other products like streaming pucks run Linux (or is called unix?), but what would it take for an operating linux system to be centralized into a package to toss into a lenova laptop you’re staring at in best buy?
