Even if this is as good as (or better than) Ubuntu installed in Termux, I’m still not sure I’d trust it as anything more than an attempt at Google trying to hit Termux’s user base so it shuts down, then they shut down their terminal too.
That and they get unlimited money and/or force you to a more expensive model of a phone.
I’m still pissed about the this and morons over on Reddit actually defended it saying “NoBoDy UsEs SD CaRdS. UsE tHe cLoUd”
Yeah ok buddy, like I want to pay infinite dollars for a $50 SD card? What about shit I don’t want on somebody else’s computer? What about if I’m in an area with low coverage? What if I want root my device and have an emergency firmware to recover from?
Eventually the smarter people showed up, but fuck the onslaught of idiots that tried saying cloud storage was better than SD. The future is fucked if the current generation is this brain-dead.
How does disabling DMs stop this?
LOL the second I read it I was like “so you want a better Nintendo DS”
Sway for a laptop, Plasma for desktop.
Had you have asked me a few weeks ago, I probably would have said Sway for both,.or maybe Gnome for the desktop… But I decided to check out KDE again for the first time in like 20 years, and while it’s still kind of a hot mess it has come a long way.
Awweee poor baby… I thought he loved free speech.
No, I had my chat hidden because I primarily used old Reddit, and so I pretty much never looked a it. Made 0 sense to me. If somebody wanted something in private, they can send me a DM.
I didn’t even realize people used the chat on there. When it rolled out, it was almost exclusively bots lol
Huh? They added the chat in like 2017 as part of their push to enshitify the site and make it a social network lol. I thought it was stupid then, and I still don’t see why we need it. Reddit is (was) designed to be like a forum. You post, and you wait for an answer. It wasn’t meant for real-time conversation. I don’t even see how that fits into the site? The majority of chats I get are NSFW spam bots, and the rest are messages that I see months later because I have chat hidden and only see it on really rare occasions when I have to leave old.reddit a DM would have been answered much faster lol
But then how can we ask for nudes? /S
I don’t mind DMs for one-off things. Like if I see something sketchy and want to tip off a user without alerting the sketchy one.
Also, everybody already owns a named subreddit that they mod, don’t they? So can’t you just send modmail there and still sidebar the chat in lieu of modmail DMs?
“makes sense” would be removing the chat that never should have existed in the first place.
Lmao chat is one of the dumbest features they ever rolled out.
I love how their attitude is always “we made this useless feature, and instead of ditching it were going to get rid of what people preferred and force the hated alternative!”
Once again proving that the Reddit admins absolutely hate the fact that people use Reddit. They should just shit the site down already.
I see this with things on Itch.io a lot. I think there’s some engine that has an option to export a Linux distribution of the game, so they ship that without testing.
Agreed. I fucking hate Nautilus - especially the way it fucking tries to filter everything instead of jumping me to where I’m typing. It makes navigation so much slower
Don’t think I’ve ever used the default Samsung browser… Not intentionally, at least. Firefox Mobile has been fine for me. It has basic plugin support, do you can run unlock origin with it, too.
Luigi stomps on turtles, this promoting cruelty to animals. He also promotes drug use through the consumption of mushrooms with performance enhancing effects.
The only reason I can think of as to why Mario isn’t also banned is because the rule was made by the older brother.
Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, Google…
But you’re saying there’s one app that will connect to them all and work? I don’t think that’s the case unless there’s something like Pidgin for Android, I guess…
I’d sooner ask “why do people care about messenger apps”? Like what? Why do we need 5 different programs to talk to people because everybody’s on different platforms - none of which are even domestically owned by my country or really controlled at all by it.
RCS is slightly closer to a step in the right direction, but the fact that Google is so deeply latched into it still gives me some concern.
It’s always been like that. They’re parasite - they ruin the thing they latch on to, then they jump ship with fat stacks of cash and move on to the next product to kill.
Not entirely sure how they’d go about banning it, the official location for it is F-Droid. The one on Google Play is like 500 years out of date.
My guess was that their overall goal was to take the market share and shut down Termux, then cancel their own terminal so they can make Android worse than they already have lol.
