Blogspam that links to a ‘news’ website that just regurgitates this reddit thread. Somebody explain to me why is this upvoted so heavily.

Maybe Apple will have their Balmer moment but, as much as I would like to see that, I don’t expect it any time soon.

I agree, but years ago most of us would have said something similar when asked to carry around a device that will track your position everywhere you go. Now we all do that, because smartphones are just so convenient.

Now this is the kind of ‘news’ I’d like to see posted on hackernews just to read their techbro shit takes.

I have a Fairphone 4 since release. There where some bugs for the first couple of months. Now everything works as it should and I have no complaints regarding day to day usage. I am not using my phone for much more than messaging, navigation and some light web browsing though, so my experience might not be representative.

I use a Nextcloud app called Memories for my photos. I don’t know if it is one par with Google Photos but it’s good enough for me. There are a few providers that offer managed Nextcloud servers, personally I use the one by Hetzner.

I read about this a couple of days ago, apparently some support was there since DOS 2.0.

Take your pick. Though the appeal to nature at the end makes me think it is probably something made up by that particular school.

edit: It isn’t but the appeal to nature is still a fallacy

Not trying to be a menace, but I just tried it out using xdg-portal-test-kde and the screenshot portal definitely works on KDE Plasma 5.27.10. If you are experiencing issues with that, please create a bug report for xdg-desktop-portal-kde so it can be fixed.

I can’t complain, installed Fedora 39 Kinoite and everything is working great. The only thing I have noticed is that drag and drop from dolphin into some flatpak applications is not working; But that is pretty much it and I am not even sure if Wayland is causing this. This is honestly the most usable Linux has ever been for me.

What prevents you from using org.freedesktop.portal.Screenshot with GNOME and KDE as well? They both support taking screenshots using that method.

guess I fucked up my computer beyond repair

Unlikely, only misconfigured. The “Ubuntu success” message might show because your PC tries to boot from a GPT partition on a different disk or you have inadvertently overwritten the Windows bootloader. Booting from a live USB should work but it might take a couple of tries depending on what settings you have changed in the UEFI; also check if your flashdrive is working properly. Apps like the Fedora Media Writer or Rufus can check if the image is not corrupted after writing it to the drive.

Hard to tell from the info you provided. It might be a mixup between legacy MBR and UEFI boot. Try enabling legacy boot in UEFI and make sure the boot order is correct, if your PC is really that old it might just be that your Windows install is still booting from the MBR.

What do you mean by lack of security features? Fairphone promises 5 Android version upgrades and security updates for at least 8 years.

Oh no, not a single day in the year where some shops have closed! If they visited my country they would probably have an aneurysm. Nothing is open on Sunday or public holidays. On Saturday most shops close at 18:00 many close much sooner. It depends for the rest of the week but you can not be open after 21:00.

I guess that makes COBOL the most Xtreme programming language.
