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%.

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.

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.

Why are people still giving this clown views?

Simply gorgeous. You make some great art.

I guess anything that happens while using a computer fits the community now?

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.

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.

It’s a septic or sewer clean out. Code requires them at certain distances of the drain system to allow for access to clear any blockages. You can use that access to run a snake.

“The people that seem to be most distressed by it were the people who had not gone looking for it,” Lloyd said.

Lloyd’s his birth name but he insists we call him Captain Obvious at the office.

The British have all the good luck.

I didn’t understand that, thank you for the clarification.

lot of YouTubers recommend it as something that looks a bit like Windows (on the surface).

Oh yeah, I forgot that was it’s schtick. Well, best of luck to them, regardless of the cause.

Any idea on what caused the spike? I used Zorin years and years ago and while nifty, didn’t have anything that met a particular need that wasn’t already satisfied by other distros. I checked their site and it looks like nothing drastic has changed.

Perhaps some popular influencer or advertisement type thing?

Both YT music and Tidal offer a trial period, you could listen to some examples yourself since you’re the only person that can determine if the differences in sound quality are anything that you notice or care about.

It looks like it’s been overrun with AI “articles”. There’s tons of telltale stuff like this:

What Are The Most Popular Names This Year?
Great question! In America, here are the top 10 boys and girls names of 2025:

I know that they took some heat for adopting AI to generate their images but it looks like it’s gone much farther than that.

I am pretty sure the content is irrelevant to the owners as from it’s first sale in 2006, it existed primarily to be an adsense ad farm.
