My rule is quite simple.

Open source -> telemetry on

Else -> off

Examples: KDE, Firefox

Oh, please help me on this.

I'm Italian and going on a trip to the western US in less than two weeks, and still haven't understood how to behave wrt tipping/service charge.

In my previous trips to the US, before this nonsense was automatically added to the bill, I would tip between 15 and 20% depending on my level of satisfaction with the waiting staff.

What should I do now, when visiting places auto-charging a service fee?

Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

Emirates does this, at least on theor A380s.

And as someone said, apart from takeoff and landing, it's pretty boring.

Mine has got to be the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio:

Get a flu and you're dead. No thanks.

LOTR.

Would probably die there, tho.

Buy new router, connect via Ethernet, disable ISP's router Wifi to avoid radio interference, share wifi access to family member.

Set QoS rules on your new router to get a higher priority/bandwidth for YOUR devices.

KDE uses less RAM, you can fact check quite easily.

Depending on the distro it ships with more or less stuff, but a few games, an office suite, media players for audio/video and in some cases a partition manager, are all necessary tools in any setup, at least in my book.

I don't see the bloat.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

I'm also just a normal tech person, so my answers may be inaccurate.

My understanding is:

1. ARM seems superior in the mobile computing domain where efficiency matters more than raw power. I wonder if that's related to the RISC vs CISC instructions... if that's the case, having an open architecture alternative to ARM would allow any manufacturer to create their CPU designs without having to pay a hefty fee to ARM. Should bring more competition and won't keep manufacturers hostage of ARM. If ARMs raises their royalties 1000x, Apple, Qualcomm etc just have to comply for lack of alternatives, and consumers end up paying the price. This won't be possible with RISC-V
2. I can definitely see this happening, or at least having the option. OSs and apps will have to build for that new architecture of course, which takes time and money. I'm personally particularly excited about laptops
3. I guess. I don't think it's ever impossible to do this, it's always a matter of how much of an impact it has on performances

If I said something stupid, please let me know, I'd like to learn about this!

Bitwarden

Neunante always struck me as a bit weird (although much better than the math thingy).

Neuvante would seem a more reasonable derivation from neuf.

Would also make it closer to other latin languages like Italian and Spanish.

Let's just appreciate the fact that basically no other browser has this.

With chrome/ium you can't even block ads.

Lol

Because Apple wouldn't fucking let anybody else use iMessage.

Whereas RCS is out there for anyone to use.

Shit. I literally read John in the OP and was confused by all the comments I was reading. Until I read yours and went: hold on a sec. Scrolled back up, and sure enough OP was about Jamie 😅

Well look at that, no one seems to mention opensuse/Tumbleweed.

Great sign 👍🏻

Fedora also unscathed.

Two of my favorites, if not my absolute favorites.

I really think it's ok to post here, OP.

I'm a reddit orphan and one of the subs I'm still missing the most to this day is Google's official android_beta sub.

So yes, your post is much appreciated.

Maybe it would even be nice to have a dedicated community (and someone still on reddit - I'm not anymore) could get in touch with r/android_beta mods to see if they wanna jump on Lemmy...

Please, make sure to ALWAYS include line numbers.

Makes discussion much easier

Not enough light bars, hard pass.
