More interest is a very far cry from “linux phones are booming”. Linux phones are not booming, they are niche projects for people that like to tinker and don’t need any of the most popular phone apps and features.

Until we can install linux on more than a couple phones, trust cellular connections across all the networks and have access to the majority of features and apps that a smart phone should possess, linux phones will never “boom”.

I say this as a Ubuntu touch user on the Fairphone 4. It is not an experience that anyone else I know would accept from their smartphone.

I hope they choose to focus efforts on linux instead of trying to keep Google from fully obliterating their ability to offer apps on the Android platform.

Even if they are thrown a bone during this fight, it’s going to keep happening until they lose. The reason linux is so bad to try to use as a smartphone right now is because entities like these are busy trying to piss up a rope with Google and Android. We could have actually had robust and feature rich linux phones if they had taken the hint when Google first started shitting on people trying to use their Android phone in the way they want to.

Linux phones are booming.

Booming, eh?

If you’re having problems finding the linux line on the graph, it’s one of those at the 0%.

Why is this even mildly infuriating? Who’s that emotionally invested in a corporation and a bunch of influencers patting each other on the back?

As soon as you’re forced to buy that vacuum, sure, your analogy is rock solid and it’s like actual slavery.

Never watch a video that ends a statement with a question mark In the thumbnail.

The lack of info leaves me curious. Is it with the purpose of spreading information, managing client accounts or???

Maybe you just have to swap and be okay with less people around, just so you can get out of Microsoft’s grip in open source.

I think you hit the nail on the head here. It is almost always the case that you will trade adoption/utilization/community for a less-used solution. Using loops, pixelfed, mastodon or piefed/lemmy, element, linux, FOSS web apps instead of their more popular system, they all come with an unspoken agreement that you embrace a niche-existence.

Only you can really decide what’s more important to you.

Waiting an unknown amount of time to be able to use your computer again is not viable.

I’ve dealt with this issue across distros and flavors for years and simply accept that using Firefox on Linux the way I use it requires a regular reboot.

I see this often with the firefox memory leak and containerizing it wouldn’t resolve the issue, as it’s literally freezing due to running out of system memory. Try to make a distinction between a frozen app and a systemwide exhaustion of resources.

I don’t think that word means what you think it means.

Simply gorgeous. You make some great art.

Just wait until everyone reposting this hears about VPNs.

Western governments don’t need that. They already have access to all you do on your device via backdoors and agreements with vendors and software providers. They could know absolutely everything about any “free citizen” they wanted.

As a client of migraines that uses Nurtec and botox to combat them, I would never opt-in for a treatment that **only ** plastic surgeons were proponents for. That’s like asking your butcher to rebuild your car’s engine.

What you’re describing is not an issue caused by corrosion on a wire. Corrosion won’t cause overdraw or shorting, so it wouldn’t cause your main breaker to flip.

It’s more likely that you either have a weakening breaker due to age tripping at a lower draw than it was originally rated for or you’re drawing more across the entire system than the main is rated for.

The electric co does not handle anything from the first breaker on and nothing on their end would trip your breaker(it would trip something of theirs upstream), usually so they are right that you should be talking to an electrician. That is something that your landlord should be on the hook for, barring any previous agreements.

If you want to see what your circuits are drawing, consider picking up a digital clamp meter, they will make it possible to see what each circuit, including the main are actually drawing.

I’ve used Linux since the 90s and this seems to be a video about something that’s not really a thing. I’ve seen more people discuss Hannah Montana Linux than proposing a single distro.

I guess apple owners are just a known gullible consumer pool to tap.

Billionaires annoying millionaires is something that doesn’t bother me much.
