freedom of speech means the government can’t arrest you for speaking up. Neither lemmy nor reddit are the government, so freedom of speech does not apply.

i have mine set up so it onld syncs my photos to the pc, but not the other way round. Photos are always copied to my pc and I can safely free up space on my phone

i don’t want flatpak either

a compatibility layer would involve dedicated hardware in the soc itself, like apple did with the m series chips

it’s the litle button at the top

nah, it self replicates!

ceos make up 11% of the workforce? That’s way higher than I thought!

yes it does. Never disputed that. Doesn’t change the fact that the average user does not care in the slightest about how it works, not that it does work.

only among tech people. Way to prove my point. The general population only cared about easy access to free movies, they did not, and still do not care about the underlying implementation that makes that possible. My dad downloads stuff occasionally, I assure you, he does not know what bittorrent does

that’s because the tech people think p2p is what made bittorrent popular. It didn’t. Free stuff being available on it is what did.

sorry to burst your bubble

they are legally obliged to have a backup strategy, no?

if you rip out an engene from a car, then you can operate it at its most efficient rpm all the time, instead of when you happen to cross the right rpm on the right gear. So an engine powering a generator can almost always be more efficient than in a car.

This is not taking the losses in the electrical system when using the generated power in a moter to make the car move. But in a lot of cases, you still come out ahead

and when the driver doesn’t use the regen braking properly, resulting in a very jerky ride

you seem to be confusing an operating system for the user interface. An os can (and regularly does) have more than one interface. In this case steamos ships with two of them. One they designed which is targeted for games. And they also ship plasma as a desktop environment for those who need it. The operating system lies under all that, and you can launch any piece of software from either of the interfaces. (or the terminal, that counts as a 3rd way to interact with the computer, I guess)

as amazing as snake was as a toy on phones, it still doesn’t make sense to put a copy of snake in outlook. Or notepad, or paint, or office, or as an always available widget in the task bar

not really. If the system outputs a probability distribution, then by definition, you’re picking somewhat randomly. So not really a simplification

if every single token is, at the end, chosen by random dice roll (and they are) then this is exactly what you’d expect.

because they haven’t? We don’t want any changes to our ability to install software. This would still kill f-droid, and the “flow” they talked about isn’t a system wide setting. You have to do it per app. And you, the owner of the divice who just wants to install something on your device, would have to register. So if too many people install the app, the dev would be forced to register as well.

How is any of that “listening to user feedback”?

but they rewrowe it in rust for safety!
