And the fact that Chrome has a virtual monopoly on the browser market isn’t going to help them either. Other than Firefox and Safari, every other browser is Chrome, and most web devs only test on Chrome.
It’s IE all over again, and I’m a bit scared that iOS’s app store restrictions are the only thing stopping Chrome from being a complete monopoly.
That is cheap, but if you go to Google’s own page about Chromebooks, the options you see there are all in regular laptop pricing territory. Does anyone actually buy Pixelbooks or gaming Chromebooks?
I’m wondering the same thing. Chromebooks cost way too much for what they are.
Yes, I’m aware of that. But within the Linux community, the majority seem to prefer Android since it’s based on Linux specifically, and it’s not Apple. I also like macOS partly because of its BSD heritage.
Yeah, I personally prefer SSH for this task, and I also like that it works with both Linux and Mac wirelessly.
Say what you will, but this article actually does a pretty good job summing up why I don’t want to switch back to Android after trying my first iPhone. As a longtime Linux user, I naturally thought I’d be using Android for the foreseeable future, since it’s Linux under the hood.
One of my friends got her first iPhone, and she talked me into giving it a try, and while I was lost for a while, I was quickly blown away by how much better everything worked. And knowing that I’ll get the latest software the same day as every other iPhone user, for at least five years, is pretty awesome.
Android could be a great thing, but manufacturers rely way too heavily on proprietary modifications to both the UI and drivers and have no incentive to provide updates for as long as Apple does, because they want you to buy a new phone. The fragmentation among Android manufacturers is real too. I don’t want to have to root my phone and reflash the OS just to get a usable phone either.
Look, I know tons of people on the Internet are like “lol apple sux” but there is truth to this article. If you love Android, or flashing a custom OS, I’m certainly not going to tell you you’re wrong. It’s just not my cup of tea anymore.
I was responding to all the people who said “just use a fake email,” bub…
Have you tried reading all the stuff below the email field?
I think the point of this post is all the stuff below the email field. Yikes.
Blows my mind how many conservatives think net neutrality is a bad thing just because the TV told them it’s bad.
None of them can even tell me what the hell net neutrality even is.
Boot from the gparted live CD/USB. Never modify the partitions while you’re using them.
Chrome runs like garbage compared to Firefox, and this has always been the case for me. I didn’t make the switch in 2008. I also had a bad feeling that Chrome would become the new IE with every other browser ditching their own rendering engine and basing on Chromium.
People back then said it was OK because Chromium is ostensibly open-source. Look where that got us. Surprise, it’s still controlled by Google!
That song is spot on. They’ve successfully turned the people against each other to the point where anyone who criticizes the side they picked gets written off as a nazi.
I just love how they try to trick you into paying for shipping even if they’re like “Congratulations! Your order qualifies for free shipping!”
Depends. Unless you’re on Ubuntu or Elementary, Flatpak and Snap are optional. When I’m on Arch, btw, I don’t bother with any of those and just use the AUR with a helper like yay.
But I find the convenience of Flathub too good to pass up on other distros. I have been using Linux long enough to remember when the only options if your distro didn’t ship something were to compile from source or to use a sketchy installer script, because Flatpak didn’t exist. And as others mentioned, if you’re using a full desktop environment, it likely can update everything at once via the GUI.
Ooh, big text!
My point is, neither side actually gives a shit. I agree with most of what you’re saying about Republicans, but Democrats just do not give a shit either. They just play the blame game. Nothing will get done because all of these politicians are laughing their way to the bank while everybody else bickers.
First of all, not every conservative is a Trump supporter. Second, there are a number of loud liberals on TikTok who have said things like “cis people need to delete themselves.” It goes both ways.
Assuming everybody who votes differently from you or is in the opposing party is exactly the same is just as harmful as taking for granted that everything everybody on your side does or says is 100% correct. This binary view of politics has been exacerbated by social media, and it is doing a lot of harm. Both sides are basically at the point where they’re convinced that the other side wants them dead. It’s fucking crazy.
I disagree. Too many people take one side or the other, take for granted that their side is 100% correct, and refuse to believe anyone could possibly be center.
Ever try using Google’s sites in Firefox or Safari? Most people use Google services and started using Chrome because of Google hounding them to switch. Hell, every major site says to just use Chrome now, and if a real Chrome ever comes out for iPhone, people will just download Chrome because it’s what they use on their computer.
Sincerely, a frustrated Firefox and Safari user
