The Dalai Lama references are from the Air Nomads, not Fire Nation

Most Americans are too dumb to realize the allegory in ATLA.

1. Ubuntu wants to own snap, with their own proprietary store etc which runs against alternatives like Flatpak and goes against the FOS ethos

2. Snap is slower and worse than Flatpak (the most popular alternative) in most ways, with very few pros that will likely be caught-up-to soon too

To be fair, Chrome was vastly superior to Firefox for ages in the early 2010’s

Matrix is more of a Discord alternative than a Whatsapp alternative though unless I’m mistaken?

Signal is a means for message encryption, and if every platform used it and then were mandated to interop, they’d have to figure out how to do the actual transfer, yes. RCS is basically this except nerfed and partially Google-owned which is shit.

The limited benchmarks I’ve seen put the new X Elite at slightly less efficient than the M2 Pro (let alone M3 Pro). It only gets marginally higher scores when operating at 3x the wattage.

Also, let’s not imagine even for a second that notoriously terrible ARM are going to make it easy to support this chip, especially not in the long term.

Would be goated if everyone just switched to the Signal protocol and interop was mandated, but that’ll never happen unfortunately.

I love Fedora but definitely Mint for a normie. Even then I question if you should install Linux at all since reliably being able to do what you need to do is priority one, especially for a student, and if he may be blocked in his work as a result I don’t think it’s a great idea.

You don’t care about the many other ways that not using and supporting Chromium is better, ie. not having Google’s new invasive advertising system?

The Flips also have a worse display, camera system, build quality, battery life, and just everything than either of those alternate Samsung phones.

I didn’t say folding phones are a gimmick, I said they’re fragile and bad value propositions.

Folding phones are flimsy bits of plastic-screened crap that are just as expensive as two separate, better phone and tablet. And many apps barely work anyway.

Glyph interface is a pointless gimmick.

Under-screen cameras produce terrible images.

There are lots of reasons to hate Apple, but none of these are.

Godot. Defold.

Apple uses the standard USB-PD standard for all existing wired USB-C charging, uses the QI standard for wireless, and directly contributed their magsafe technology to the next generation of the QI wireless standard, so there’s no reason to think they will make iPhone wireless charging proprietary.

Exactly. That fact makes the mountains of defed stuff ridiculous because it makes no difference.
