I’ve been banned from a community on here before because I’m sure someone misread my comment.

My comment was clearly aligned with everyone else on the post, but I still got banned and mods did not respond to my messages about getting unbanned.

Still better than windows.

I’m a bit out of the loop, what’s this referring to?

I don’t really watch new tech videos anymore because I’m not I. The market for new tech. Mostly because it’s way too expensive now and my old stuff works well enough.

I agree, I looked into some AI stuff and it was really complex.

I’ve seen this story before and that complex stuff kind goes away and then it was a waste of time learning it.

I have a few friends in this situation.

My wife and I sometimes say that we are happy that we are done with the going out dating night life scene.

We both had fun times dating when we were younger and single, but we are older now and are happy to relax on our home on a Friday night.

One of our single friends said they were tired of going out to date and stuff, and I don’t blame her. As you get into your late 30s, the appeal is kind of gone.

I’m sure I don’t speak for everyone. But I just wanted to share my experience.

I did something similar to this before because I live in a different country from my home country and it’s not a problem if you host your own VPN in your own home, but if you use a commercial VPN service, the IP address may be flagged

That is exactly what I though. There are benefits to this one for sure.

I absolutely hate this stuff. My family doesn’t live in the same house, but it doesn’t mean we are not a family. My mother-in-law and sister-in-law just message us for the passwords when they want to stream something. None of us pay for youtube premium and it looks like I won’t be.

I had this experience with my l14 thinkpad and Fedora.

I was shocked that even the fingerprint reader worked… well like half the time, but I don’t like using it anyway.

These companies entrenched themselves and showed that they are terrible to work with.

As someone starting a business, I’m just admiring all these companies like the plague.

My work is not in tech, but I used to work in tech and have been building everything with open source software.

Hosting as much as I can and even coding some things myself.

I wonder if these companies are going to end up dead over these in the future.

That’s pretty cool, it sounds like the equivalent of a desktop environment in Linux.

Does switcher the launcher affect the performance in some way? I think I read somewhere that the default launcher is still running or something. But that didn’t really make sense to me.

From the androids I’ve used, cheap/old ones, on the main screen when you swipe all the way to the left, it always loads Google news.

Can that be disabled on your Samsung? I’m asking, not as a criticism, but genuinely. I really think dexmode is really cool. I think I could do all my work with just a Samsung and dex mode.

Its posts like these that make me uninterested in Android. It just seems like there is so much sketchy stuff under the hood.

I saw that video ages ago, it took a while for it to go into effect.

Huh?

Android or Apple is objectively better? I don’t think anyone can make that claim as people have different needs and preferences.

I don’t mind the vendor stuff to much as long as it gets out of your way. I just would be so annoyed to see random 3rd party stuff on the phone especially if it automatically installed.

Your right, I have not touched a Samsung phone and the only person I know with one lives in a different country.

I’m only repeating what I’ve heard from multiple places, I’ve never heard the opposite. Didn’t the most recent release come with tons of preinstalled apps taking up a decent percentage of of the hard drive?

If that’s not true, it makes the news and that’s what iPhone users see and believe. There is not really news to the contrary.
