I think it depends on the adoption of Linux on the desktop. When more people get a taste of what freedom of software brings, they are going to want that for their phones as well.
That or we might just be years away from the next big thing where everyone walks around with AR glasses and the cycle starts all over again with companies competing for a duopoly, and we're just fucked.
Others in this thread have covered most of the points already, but it is mainly software support for certain key things I want to do using my phone, such as online banking.
I realise most of this is just anxiety about taking the plunge and seeing what it's like, so if I have money to burn I might just buy a second phone just to see if it's a viable option for me.
But yeah, I wish mobile Linux was popular enough for there to be support from key service providers. Though it might be a long shot since "desktop" Linux is still growing and we haven't yet seen the support shift.
It was a big mistake by Google to base the Android Framework entirely on Java. Pivoting to Kotlin because you've discovered that working in Java produces nothing but garbage does nothing to fix the situation either.
Can't wait for generic Linux phones to be a (more popular) thing so we won't have to deal with this clown world nonsense anymore.
Yeah, most western European languages actually.
Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian... Though most of these languages alternate between "taking a decision" and using a form of "to decide".
German seems to be the exception. They just had to be different. Guess that's that German precision for ya, they have to "hit their decisions" otherwise they won't count.
No basil? Seems like this is worth trying.
Does that hold true for fresh home made pesto, or just the potted grocery store stuff?
There is a huge difference between the two. But it might just be that it's not for you.
Haha that's a way to do it. Awesome visuals though this is probably more CPU heavy than it's worth for the use case of destroying application windows.
Not sure if simulating every active window is a good idea either. What if you accidentally set fire to your Facebook page?
Blijft gewoon aandacht hè? Voelt toch goed, ondanks dat ze ons uitlachen.
Listen here, you little shit!
Swamp German is best German.
Feels like a stretch to say Trump's fans are capable of thinking anything. Which is probably why they follow him in the first place.
Then again, here in Europe we're dealing with a different breed of morons.
Anyone else feel surrounded by idiots?
Wow that's a cool idea, though the fire shader has some room for improvement.
If only some of those VFX shader developers from the gaming industry found their way to this project...
Will definitely give this a try next time I use a GNOME DE.
Yeah that's the thing. Users stick to reddit because they have ties with the individual communities, not so much the platform itself.
People used to use Facebook for similar reasons. "Because all my friends are there". Not because Facebook was so great.
It can be difficult to leave communities behind that you feel a part of, even if you just lurk most of the time. The fact that reddit was turned into a corporate dystopic shitshow does bother users, but it hasn't outweighed their needs to still be part of their respective communities.
But seeing as official reddit sources claim that "they're still in the early stages of user monetization", it might not be long before we see what's left of the platform turn into the biggest dumpster fire the internet has ever seen.
