I definitely wish there was a good NLVE for Android that was FOSS. Currently using LumaFusion because it's the most powerful one I've found but it was $21 on sale

Oh. Egg on my face then lmao I didn't even notice

Meanwhile I replaced my casters on my aeron with skateboard wheel casters to smoothly glide about

For what it's worth, a large number of the things you listed are actually portable into Sway, i3wm, and a lot of other tiling wms just by way of running the KDE settings daemons - I do the same kinds of things (network printer, theming, auto-mount, auto-start, XDG config, firewall, vpn, network settings, monitors, keyboard layout) just by having i3wm start up xfce-settings-daemon.

I'm not familiar enough with KDE to make promises about grub and splash, but I would imagine those would also work exactly the same as well. In fact, a little bit of searching and it looks like if you're on Wayland you could even just replace KWin (the KDE window manager) with Sway in the startup files and be 95% of the way there. Might just need to configure a system bar or something to that effect.

Dunno what format you've got there, but ISO 6801 looks like 2023-11-15T18:28:31Z

Me want bite!

Gotta get one that slopes. Or 3D print a slope for yours.

Stable diffusion can do arbitrary sizes now, as long as you have the VRAM for it iirc

Instead they suggest you have them do it, first one is free

Nah man I'm being genuine. I'm not pretending, nor was it an insult. I refuse to argue in bad faith as well. Which... It's exactly what calling someone's opinion invalid is. You ok? Really, no joke here. Hope you're doing alright and find a phone that meets your standard, fellow member of the fediverse.

I don't consider it bloat. Bloat is preinstalled games or adware, not useful services. Everything preinstalled besides Samsung's stuff was removable, and all of that at least does have a use, and works for what it's supposed to do.

• Browser is a browser. It functions as such for people who don't care about which browser they're using.
• Note taking app does what it says on the tin.
• messaging app is the SMS app. It didn't come with another one, I installed the one from Google myself for RCS.
• Samsung TV Plus is actually for watching TV networks, and it's free. Works decently even.
• smart things is useful for anyone who has Samsung iot devices. The oven in the house I rent actually is one, which was funny to me.
• HP printing might have actually been one I added... For my HP network printer.

All of that aside, my Z Fold 4 is plenty powerful such that I never experience lagging or slowdowns. My battery rarely goes below 50% with 4-5 hours of screen on time daily. So if there's background stuff, it's not affecting either of the things you would expect it to.

The launcher is fine. No "news section" off to the side like the old Pixel launcher used to have, no frills or extras or adware in your face... it's fine. The only complaint I have about the launcher is that I can't make my app drawer continuously scroll. However, it provides the service for the 'taskbar' at the bottom of my screen:

Honestly, from my perspective none of it is problematic. It sounds to me like you're just hating on something to hate on it, none of those extra things being installed cause me any inconvenience. In the slightest.

Calling someone's opinion on such a subjective matter invalid really speaks to your thoughts on other people. Are you ok? Need to talk about it?

Tbh, idgaf

Cloning a base image and creating VMs from it is one of the coolest things. I do it for my VMs on my Proxmox cluster any time i need a new server for something - and yeah just copying my dev desktop to my new laptop for going to a conference was such a great way to avoid hours of setup

Here's all the Samsung stuff on my Galaxy Fold 4, two of which aren't ones that it came with:

It's really not a problem nor that bad. I chucked them into a folder and have only touched them to use the files app or manage Good Lock.

The difference is huge between even the beefiest CPU and a decent GPU. My RTX 3080 does 7-8 tokens per second on the models I've tried while my Ryzen 9 5950x gets 1-2.

I'm not an expert with them nor have I done any optimization or benchmarking to find the real answer but it's significant enough that I'd go for a GPU if I were building something dedicated for it

I've been running the same installation of Manjaro since 2018, across three different machines. Each time I've upgraded hardware I just pop the SSD out and stick it in the new motherboard. Zero instability or troubles from that. Meanwhile I've done that to my wife's Windows PC and it resulted in going through a whole rigmarole with calling Microsoft because the OS install was suddenly no longer activated.

Linux didn't even care that I went from AMD to Intel to AMD.

Sounds like something a small dick would say ;-)

Hmmm. I feel like one of those words is far more charged than the other, but I agree that it'd be nice if we had better alternatives. The problem is that it's making fun of a certain specific attitude that some men have that tends to extend to high levels of care about the size of their junk, and there's not quite an equivalent concept for another topic. I mean, it's basically a way to call someone "insecure about things about yourself that you can't change or control, so you spend your time grasping at whatever material gains you can in order to try and have some semblance of Identity beyond those insecurities".

The point is less about body shaming and more about shaming the person's "small dick energy". Eg the kind of behavior you'd expect from someone who thinks dick size matters a ton and would buy nice things to try and compensate for their lack of size.

We've long since transitioned into the "most" games work territory. Basically apart from anything with rootkit-like anti cheat, you shouldn't have any trouble playing games at all.

Easier to store in my cabinet alongside the other boxes
