Same as most people. OSs have just evolved to become systems made to serve their creators rather than their “customers”.

Windows wants to steal all your data and then use it to shove ads in your face.

Apple also constantly tries to push their own products and services through the OS, not to mention continually pushing the boundaries of irrepairability and locking you in an ecosystem. And just being extremely expensive.

Yeah there’s nothing shipping. The ones I’ve seen were DIY.

You’re correct, I don’t see the point.

You’re just contradicting yourself again.

I don’t understand. You say you need it, and then you say you’ve never used it. How would you know? I can confirm it’s absolutely not needed. And it will only make shit harder.

There are a bunch of great build suggestions on the homepage of PCPartPicker. Really the only consideration if you want to use Linux is to go with AMD for your GPU (they’re usually a better value anyway).

I wouldn’t recommend any prebuilts, they’re usually not a good value. Plus you can learn a lot about computers if you DIY and it can be helpful to diagnose in the future.

If you choose a case without a transparent side panel and ignore RGB and glamorous components, you can get better performance.

Looks like there’s a GitHub and Mattermost

You should submit this in a PopOS forum.

And what’s being born?

I mean when the entire tech industry has front row seats at your inauguration, that’s a pretty good indicator as well.

You can but that’s REALLY not a solution. How many times/day to plan on plugging in your phone and running a couple dozen commands to update your apps?

It’s going to affect 100% of Android users because no one is going to develop apps just for the 10 people using uncertified devices.

Honestly considering the same. Sideloading is the only reason to stick with Android and that’s now going away. Apple devices have more power, better battery life, better displays, etc etc etc. Especially considering the “base” 17 is now actually a really good value while Pixel prices have skyrocketed in recent years to iPhone levels (presumably for AI shit I don’t even want).

You can edit it 🙂

Depends on your OS. Most likely no.

Google just came out of the biggest antitrust suit since 1998 completely unscathed so you can expect this sort of anticompetitive measures to continue.

They’re not “pulling” the app from anywhere, it’s just simply not going to work on “certified devices”. This is the end of Android as we know. It’s been a good run.

There ya go, Murena is probably your best bet.

Looks like they have a few devices, actually

Recently I got an update that forced perplexity on my phone.

Fuck me, that’s infuriating.

What country are you in? Murena sells Fairphones in the US.

Other than that, I know this isn’t what you asked for but GrapheneOS can be installed from the browser on your computer…

Yeah the Insta360 desktop app runs through WINE just fine!
