I know and what I'm saying is that all those project are moving very slowly while projects like GraphneOS/LineageOS already offer open, privacy oriented phones with good hardware and lot's of apps. This is simply where more effort is going, where we're seeing more progress and our best chance at getting "Linux phones".

Yes, it's all true but the issue is you can already do a lot of those things with a lot of cheap hardware that is is simply easier to support than old phones. And when it comes to phones being phones Android is really good and has a lot of apps. I think the problem with Linux phones getting more popular is that the overlap between desktop/server and mobile is very small. I mean I use my phone only for phone things and a lot of things I do on my phone I can do only on my phone (e.g. charging an electric car is basically impossible without a Android/iPhone). Having a phone that can do some things desktop/server can do but can't do a lot of things a phone can do is pretty much pointless at this point.

When we'll get a proper Linux phone with full Android apps support and convergence it will be really awesome but I just don't think there's enough interest to get there at this point.

AOSP. Sad but true.

When first pinephone came out I really believed it's heading somewhere. It thought that it will be kind of like raspberry Pi (fun, cheap platform to play with) and that we'll quickly see copycats and it will slowly grow the way Linux on desktop did. AFAIK nothing like this happened. You still can't get a phone with decent Linux support which for me shows that we're stuck with android. I think most people that would help Linux phone happen are simply satisfied with LineageOS so there's no incentive to put as much effort into it as it requires.

I'm smart and I'm mostly fine with my minority dying out. It's definitely sad that in 50 years people will look at things my people created and will not understand any of it but then again, it's a natural process. I'm sure our art will somehow influence their art and in a way it will live on.

What's wrong with clevo rebrands?

What you said (if I understand you correctly, you didn't give any examples) boils down to breaking standards established by the current browsers. The standards that web developers and servers universally follow. If you want to build browser that will not follow standards you might just as well render HTML in non-standars ways. Most pages will not work anyway.

What is it about then? Rendering HTML and CSS in a new, fun way?

Ok, so what do you want your 4th, new browser to do differently? What's so different about it that you can't build it on top of Gecko?

he internet is in desperate need of an alternative to the Chrome/Mozilla/Safari trio.

No it's not. You have lots and lots of different browsers. Do we need another browser engine? Also not. They all do the same thing so while it's good to have some competition we definitely don't need yet another one.

If you can browse the web on them they can be worth a lot to some kid.

Biggus. Now guess what would I change my last name to.

You have to many usable laptops laying around. Put an ad on craiglist or something and give them out. I once put an ad like that and exchanged old laptop for a really good chocolate.

I'm never sure if Castro is dead or not. I was sure for very long time that he died already but it would turn out that he's still there. I also don't remember any events specifically related to his death. His brother (?) took over and he kind of fizzled out before he died. Or maybe he's still there? I'm never quite sure. I mean, it's 2024 now, he's definitely dead. Or is he?

(We're talking US only, right?) Isn't the inflation already at 3.5%? The goal is usually around 2%. If the government wants they can get it to 2% by taxing extra corporate profits but even if they don't do it and it will stay at 3% I don't know if it's an 'era of inflation'. It could still be back to ~2% in a year or two if there's no new war in the middle east. Now, looking at what's happening in the middle east my bet is that there will be another war, the inflation will go up again (~10%?) and we'll be stuck in this cycle until global economy splits and isn't affected so much by local conflicts. You can already see this happening post war in Ukraine but it will take a decade or two. So I would say 1-2 years if manage to avoid another war, 10-20 if the current trend continues.

I used rust as a backend for a simple web app (axum and sea-orm), did some scripting for integrating couple of service (simple REST calls and some data processing) and recently I've been learning to build desktop apps using Tauri and Leptos. All personal projects so far but I contributed to one Leptos library a bit. Lemmy looks like interesting next step but there's always another project I would like to do and not enough time :)

Sounds interesting. I've been programming in rust for some time now but didn't get to looking at lemmy's codebase yet. This would motivate me to do it.

85% after 2.5 years is not good. My car battery has guarante of 80% capacity after 6 years. 20% of range is a significant difference so I take car of my battery and don't charge it above 80% if not needed. It's the same with laptops. Current models can easily last 5-10 years but having only 50% of capacity after that time would be a problem. Sure, if you're intending to throw it out after 3 years it doesn't really matter but if you want to use it for as long as possible you definitely should take care of the battery. It's pretty much the only part that degrades (except maybe keyboard).

So this is around 4MB less, right? The small app I'm currently working on is 15MB so with this change it will be 11MB. Nice but nothing revolutionary. It will have bigger impact on a really tiny apps. I guess that's why it wasn't resolved for so long.

You know how in SciFi movies everyone has the same phone? This is why.

I'm sure it differs from phone to phone but on the one stock android phone that I have somewhere it's impossible to remove the search widget from the screen which is pretty insane. I can't imagine using a stock android any more.
