Retail stores rarely carry a phone older than two years, as long as they push new phones every year, people will be buying those phones.

OEM’s could have like 3 battery types, mass produce these 3 and offer battery replacement for maybe 30 bucks or less? OEM’s could have like 3 phone designs and update the internals, making each screen replacement maybe 50 bucks or less? Instead each has unique screen, motherboard, subboard and battery combo. My 10y/o nokia has the same battery as a new one, they cost like 5 bucks each.

Needless to say I love the EU for bringing back user serviceable batteries, that’s a great start.

Yeeaah I drew the line at the printscreens, it was a really interesting video with a lot of effort and research put in, unlike this article.

then again, who says the OP was for average person

Nobody, the post is to aid us who are assisting other people to switch. I’m saying people here vastly overestimate the average persons ability AND willingness to actually switch, by themselves or assisted.

Linux is not all that horrible compared to Windows.

It is, in part because Linux is not beginner friendly but mostly because everyone is used to windows. Almost every program they’ve used is exclusive to it, which is why this post provides a path to eventually introduce them to Linux. Using Linux isn’t hard, using it the same way people are used to is. As is troubleshooting and installing 3rd party applications.

So when you’re done building strawmans, go touch some grass

Couldn’t have said it better, and I’ve seen the same article as well!

Funny story a coworker told me is his father kept breaking his windows install in the weirdest ways, so he asked him if he’d try Linux and was very reluctant. He showed him his laptop and he said “Oh yeah I used this at work for 30 years!”

Your point is proven by the adaptation of chromebooks, kids have no issue using them and neither should anyone else. It’s not a Linux thing, it’s a “what did you use the most”-thing. Some distros are ready to be shipped to consumers, bought a laptop with Linux pre-installed in 2018 (XPS 13).

You’ll see mainstream use if stores are selling them in-store to consumers. You’re up against the likes of Google, Microsoft or Apple when you try to pull that off.

PS: I believe in mainstream Linux use because money has a tendency to ruin everything, just think it will be much slower than us enthusiasts would want.

Exactly, in reality people will use what’s given to them. Just like windows, introduce it now and people would lose their fucking minds about how convoluted it is.

Transition costs are what we should be looking at, right now to install or use Linux you need someone with experience explaining it to you. Just like it was when PC’s were becoming a thing. Don’t have that person? Only alternative is MacOS or ChromeOS for them.

It’s actually hilarious how disconnected some Linux folks are lmao

The average person

• doesn’t know what an operating system is
• can barely work with windows, has had many struggles learning windows
• is scared of change
• doesn’t know about the existence of a BIOS
• will never be able to boot anything else but default by themselves
• doesn’t know how to troubleshoot anything about computers
• literally does not know or care about the existence of Linux

I know these things are changing, but anyone saying people are able to switch to Linux by themselves and its easy and doable for the average person is fucking delusional, this post is one of the most reasonable takes I’ve seen on the sub

Comment OP is forking Yuzu code, we’re talking about how this is fair or unfair. When you fork DMCA’d code you open yourself up to litigation and having to defend someone else’s code in court.

I won’t, OP might. Did you actually not read the context before replying? Lol.

It would, it has, next step after DMCA even in the EU is legal action, which nintendo already fought in court. I don’t know about you but I’m not ready to defend someone else’s code in court.

I get it, the inventory is just a list of all servers and PC you are trying to manage and the playbooks contain every step you would take if you would configure everything manually.

I’ll be honest when you first set it up it’s daunting but that’s the thing! You only need to do it once, then you can deploy and redeploy anything you have in minutes.

Edit: found this useful resource

And possible federation as well, very nice. Is this using SolidPods or did they just name their* server similarly?

Sorry I replied to the parent comment, but check out Ansible

Ansible is great for this!

I’m just telling you why people are taking your comment the wrong way. I’ve been nothing but respectful but man take it easy lmao

You are fully aware ipad babies are a widespread phenomenon? Those people use that exact wording to justify doing so, you can blame people for throwing you under the bus alongside those people, but you also could’ve just worded that more carefully.

Next time start with that instead of giving them a phone because that’s easier than dealing with the child, people might not get their knickers in a twist.

Read your own words, you’d rather give your child a phone than deal with your child wanting yours. That is exactly what you said, no assumptions needed.

deal with your kid constantly wanting to use your phone

They are being ‘needlessly judgemental’ about this line, you can fret over the importance of having 100% control over the device (which is weird to me as well but that’s besides the point), having your kid conditioned to constantly want your phone is what people are calling you out for.

LLMs are all crap, and people are slowly realising this

LLM’s have already changed the tech space more than anything else for the last 10 years at least. I get what you’re trying to say but that opinion will age like milk.

Edit: made wording clearer

I knew there would be at least one TempleOS reference in this thread lmao
