Yeah, uhh… Only do this if the battery can be removed and the machine keep running. Or else you’ll have a ticking bomb on your hands.

Source: I tried to do this with an old laptop and within a year the battery had swelled and popped the bottom off.

Helix is bae, the best of both worlds, of both Emacs and Vim.

Well, their username does check out.

Umm… How old is this meme? You haven’t (really) able to play PC/Steam games on Mac for a while… Also, XFCE hasn’t been a serious contender for a DE (save for a lower end hardware spec) for quite a while now.

This meme might have made more sense if it was comparing to Windows. Comparing it to a Mac now is comical, especially since a lot of Adobe software doesn’t work quite right yet on M* series Mac’s yet (though it is better than at launch).

It could be a misidentified version of Ubuntu as we, though I must admit I am now also curious about that… Maybe it’s RasPi folks using Steam on it for something?

Only been using it exclusively for 5+ years now… Something like 12-14 if you consider when I first started experimenting with it.

Lol, I cross-posted it here from !memes@lemmy.ml.

People are downvoting you, but this is honestly the correct answer for iOS. Given the closed and lockdown nature of the Apple App store, you are better off just accessing YouTube via Brave for ad-blocking while watching vids.

Huh? That ain’t what I meant at all… I’m sticking with Pixel for my next upgrade, there’s not much that could make me change my mind. If for some reason Pixel died next year, I’d probably switch to OnePlus (if I can find a good ROM for it that’s as good as CalyxOS), but I can’t say I’d be happy about it.

Uhh, yeah no… A phone with a processor that’s equivalent to something from like 4 generations ago isn’t gonna cut it. Even then, that processor would be less powerful than the Tensor G1 in my Pixel 6 Pro. If you’re concerned about data sharing, just get a Pixel and put CalyxOS or GrapheneOS on it. More secure anyways, and you still get much better hardware along with it.

Yeah… My Pixel 6 Pro is the best phone I’ve ever had, and I don’t even intended to upgrade until the Pixel 11 at least. So, you’re just wrong.

Yup! I got the 42 release with BazziteOS (Based on Universal-Blue) not that long back.

It’s like that on Reddit too. Sometimes I wonder if its outside agitators (like you see on places like r/Brave, r/CalyxOS, etc), or if its just idiotic people who don’t know better…

Honestly, people are mostly* blaming the victim here. I used to adore playing Geoguessr years ago, but that came to an end when a subscription was needed to play it. That came about because Google started charging exorbitant prices for the Google Maps and Streetview API.

*Yeah, the other issues like lacking features and not using the subscription from the website are dumb, and shouldn’t have been a thing for the Steam release. But the core issue of the subscription? The fault for that lies squarely with Google…

I’d still take Bootstrap over Tailwind anyday. 🙃

Honestly? Not really… I much more enjoy the flatter, clean icons and designs we see now. Google’s Material is by and away my most favourite of the modern minimalism designs, though Apple’s aren’t bad either, far from it.

Wait… How do you not have a DE but are using something like Prism Launcher? :/

Yeah, Neo Launcher is really good. Even though its still in its beta right now, the full release is coming soon. I consider it an upgrade over Lawnchair, and honestly probably the best open alternative to Nova (rip) overall.

it’s not available in F-Droid

Uhh, that’s very much so incorrect. You don’t even need Izzy to get it, it’s available in the vanilla F-Droid repo: https://f-droid.org/packages/org.wikipedia/

No Chromium browser is safe

That’s definitely not entirely true. Brave and Vivaldi are both keeping support for MV2. At least Brave is, I know that. Aside from the Brave Shields, you can also now enable uBlock through a menu in the settings for MV2 extensions, alomg with some others too.

I also think Vivaldi has their own ad blocker? Don’t quote me on that though, I’m not really a Vivaldi user.
