What issues are you encountering on android Firefox? I've used Firefox + ublock for years and I don't think I have ever encountered an issue that was fixed by using chrome instead.

Downloads and Documents starting with a capital letter is my biggest pet peeve with Ubuntu. It makes it a lot more annoying to navigate through them than if it was all lower case.

I have no idea how to install all the different program types (flathub, db, appimage, etc.). Windows has exe. I click "install" and boom, it's done.

That's strange, I've always felt that installing stuff is a lot easier on Ubuntu than windows. It's just apt install <program> and apt remove <program>. Having to manually download and run an exe feels outdated in comparison.

I can't even select a file because there are no previews. Just a gazillion blue squares with names like "dlcosn_3947912947".

Curious what distro you installed that had that issue. The only preview issue I've encountered was on win10 where I had to pay for windows to support H.265 to give me previews of H.265 files.

Things are constantly breaking. When they do I look up support articles that are written in fucking Klingon and sent to the terminal to type in commands that always return some sort of generic error "command not found" or some shit because the solution is written for a different one of the 862700422 available distros.

That's a fair point though. If you aren't willing (and most aren't) to learn enough to be comfortable with the terminal, it can be very easy break something when you are forced to interact with the terminal.

Other than now lemmy, the only other apps I use are Firefox and email/messaging apps. Hardly need that much performance.

4 years since the last update on my phone, I really don't see why I would change unless core apps like Firefox were to stop working.

I'd argue stackoverflow got a fair point for their policy. I'd ask the bot directly if that's what I wanted.

Got a Sony Xperia premium XZ from 2017 with the latest update being from 2019, android version 9

How in the world does ligatures work with monospace

Edit: I see now that it's the symbols and not necessarily the letters you guys are merging.

You remembered correctly

I don't see any compelling arguments to migrate away from GitHun honestly. MS seems to managing the service quite well.

How exactly would a federated forge guarantee the safety of your repo? With GitHub/MS you can be relatively confident that your private repos won't be leaked or that your repos won't dissappear due to server/backup issues.

Its massive user base is also conductive in getting other people to contribute to your project.

And if the safety of your repo and/or community size doesn't matter, why bother all that much where it's hosted, might as well run git locally.

And I'm saying all this as someone who migrated a few years back to GitLab due to it having a better offering for my specific needs. I personally also think their website is far superior to GitHub's messy design, but that's certainly not a compelling reason for someone to migrate either.

The owner is retiring and seems to want to shut down the business. Their latest power supplies are only given 3 years warranty despite the standard being 10 years.

These news doesn't come as no surprise unfortunately.
