Eh. I flashed Calyx on my Fairphone 4, works just fine. Hope it does so for half a decade.

The creator themselves gave me this link.

Go for it! I got an art print, quality is excellent.

If you’re going to be an asshole about it, pick something other than Blender. That is one of the best examples of how organizations produce cohesive software that adheres to design standards with the express purpose of making it user friendly. User friendly is not the same as easy. It means ‘respect the user’, not ‘fisher price’.

You’re espousing the exact attitude that drives people away from contributing to FOSS to solve problems so please crawl into a deep hole and spam neofetch on your Arch Thinkpad, cretin.

I’m not saying it’s fundamental, sorry, I should have specified. You’re exactly right, GNOME is driven by it’s Foundation and so there is leadership in place to make sure that the software ends up as a cohesive whole. Software projects that don’t, or that create one after the fact, tend to be a lot less so.

I don’t disagree that it is a feature of organization, but if you’re talking about creating a product that has been designed around a common philosophy and UX, that is diametrically opposed to fucking around with stuff. There’s a place for that and it does improve people’s skills, I also don’t disagree there. All I’m saying is there exists a tendency for software produced by organizations to adhere to a UX philosophy.

Fair dues, Microsoft managed to fuck that up in spite of itself.

Eh. One thing proprietary software has going for it is clear design goals and the leadership to create a cohesive UX. Open source projects tend to be a grab bag of tools that work well for developers.

Not saying I don’t love FOSS, but there’s definitely stuff that proprietary software does better in a practical sense, whatever else your opinion of it.

They didn’t?

I mean if you want. Why wait for anyone else?

Nice , now do WhatsApp!

Thanks for the link, I ordered an art print. Thanks 😀

I’ve always loved the vibe of these, but this one is especially striking. Do you do prints?

I would say you should be free to make the decision to forego the advantages working though a middle man affords you, if you would prefer the savings. That said, there’s consumer protection, quality certification (important for insurance purposes), returns, after sales care and I’m sure I’m forgetting stuff. Nothing to do with differences in the product itself, more so the guarantee of a product that does what it says on the tin.

You’re wrong and FUCK YOOUUU 🖕🏻

I think memory management on modern phones is good enough that running apps in the background is no longer an issue. Provided you’re not using a piece of shit.

One of the reasons I hear for these draconian, inhumane laws is that we should be having more children to sustain the (subtext: white) population. I just only just realized they will do the exact opposite.

Poor woman. What a tragedy.

Or maybe it’s just the ‘we’ that’s going to be out of the equation, which is fine too I guess. Our particular form of life just isn’t that important in the grand scheme of things anyway.

They were all right though, if by ‘the world’ you mean ‘the world as we know it’.
