Not sure if joke or serious

Just updated, thanks for sharing!

Not a huge deal, but if the SSD goes on to last for X more years, buying an SSD today to save a bit of time will seem pretty poorly thought-out in retrospect

The immigrant situation is extremely complex, but it's becoming increasingly clear that Adams is a opportunistic fuck w/ no morals

Proprietary so it's a long shot but maybe start a convo w/ the creator of Boring Report as a last ditch effort perhaps.

I switched to Kate eventually myself. Using the KDE defaults where possible to reduce size encouraged me to do it

I use this too

Might also be worth discussing on their forum in case it gets more traction and eyeballs there

Obligatory

Didn't expect a lot out of A14 tbh. I think that Operating Systems have matured to become mostly an intermediary between the user and apps as opposed to the conductor. As long as they stay out of the way, most users will be content.

Personally tho, I wouldn't be surprised if 15 is a huge release. Right now, the next frontier seems to obviously be transitioning phones towards AI personal assistants and w/ full integration. Microsoft is already leading the charge from the desktop OS front, but phones imo will be the most familiar integration opportunity.

Yup. Came out a few months before the 4a 5G:

Battery life is my biggest concern. I see 24 hour battery life w/ Always-On display... does anyone have any references that speak to the battery life when the feature is turned off?

Looking to replace a Garmin watch that lasts 4-5 days and trying to see whether it'll be worth it

Installing on my 4a 5G now. Gonna read to see what alterations to play around with

Good to know. I finished the series late last month and plan on diving into the show this month

Good insight. We must protect @bug at all costs.

Yeah. I forget that we're still likely in the 'early adopter' phase of things for now, which is why a lot of the UX is hit or miss depending on the instance and iteration

Great response 👍🏾

IIRC, the fediverse pertains to an interconnnected network of servers that are managed individually. Privacy is an option that led many current users to the fediverse but is by no means a requirement.

If/when threads joins the fediverse, it will have addictive algorithms and collect large amounts of user data.

My guess is that it will be like the banking system in the US where many ppl go to the exploitative larger banks out of seeming convenience w/o realizing that the alternative, less popular Credit Unions actually have the consumers' best interest @ heart

Yeah I've got my RSS camel feeds to alert me on price drops. Anything that isn't needed immediately goes there
