I never really understood the concept of ChromeOS. Is there really such a use case of a computer entirely dedicated to running Chrome ?

Redirecting twitter.com to another domain is not an impossible amount of work. What takes time is changing every references to the old domain name.

Always glad to see some people can burn their money like this

One more fell

Safe in limited amount, so just like normal sugar then. Just don’t drink liters of soda each day. (Or even better, don’t drink soda but water instead)

Phones are never good for environment, it’s a resource sink. But it’s better than most others and it’s enough :-)

A lot of phones are disposed of despite being perfectly functional (at least some are saved by the second hand market) just because the manufacturer released a new version with a slightly better camera sensor and more RAM. It has gotten a bit ridiculous. Fairphones are not perfect, but being able to keep them more than 2-3 years without being left with an unmaintained glued brick is what makes at least a small difference.

The whole philosophy of Fairphone is keeping it as long as possible through long term maintenance and access to spare part for self repairs. Fairphones are “outdated” almost at launch in terms of hardware in comparison to most phones on the market because this is not what we (fairphone customers) are looking for.

Thank you for this informed input :-)

There is no end goal in life. If you are satisfied on the day to day, there’s no reason to be depressed because other people do other things. An infinitely small number of people do the things you mentioned.

Well, all the sort options are rational. You just have to use the one you prefer. How would you sort posts differently ?

Gave up my windows boot and only use Linux since recently. I kept using Windows for gaming (although it means I used it 99% of the time as a result). But retried linux gaming with Proton and everything runs smoothly enough for me. From big games like SF6 to native games like POE, it’s such a pleasure to see that everything “just works” most of the time. I kept my W10 dual boot in case some specific game just cannot be handled by Linux.

With the switch to Lemmy and now a full switch to Linux, I’m glad I threw away all these adwares :-)

And by its very nature, the fairphone cost is amortized over the long time you won’t need to replace it with a brand new phone :-) (although you need to take into account the possibility of replacing an expensive part, which are not cheap indeed but still way cheaper than a new phone anyway)

Yes please

An OS as a service that you would connect to from… what ? Do they intend to sell computers that can do nothing else than running an RDP session ?

Monkey sees negative numbers, neuron activation, monkey leaves Lemmy

Agreed. To me, Lemmy (or the fediverse for that matter) succeeded because it offered me an alternative to reddit. It doesn’t need to become the #1 to be worth something.

Yes. It was pretty easy too. I didn’t use the desktop version, but the Legere client instead. I just had to remove the Legere shortcut that I was used to click on when I was waiting for something to load. Now I never go to reddit on desktop. I still have Infinity on my phone but I don’t like phone apps so It’s just sitting there.

Now for meme-addict people Lemmy may seem a bit empty, but that’s fine by me.
