    On LTT there was a race and the person who chose to install Linux had a huge head start as the install only took a few minutes. While Linus took forever to install windows.

    I forget the outcome of the video, but I wish he would show more support for Linux on his channel.

    This is me and my dad so much.

    Last year he was complaining about how the owner of the company he works for is retiring and giving the company to his son who doesn’t know anything about the business.

    We talked about how the workers could all own a portion of the company and run it themselves.

    He agreed that’s how it should work.

    But socialism is bad… 🤦‍♂️


  • I think its really cool, its just a step closer to have just one device for everything.

    I’d love to fold it up and use it as a phone. Unfold it and use it as a tablet when I’m just browsing the web and then connect it to a man role or keyboard and mouse and use it as my “laptop” or desktop.

    I have a steam deck for gaming, I don’t really need an entire separate computer for work.

    But a device like this should offer a full desktop experience and not some locked down mobile thing.

















  • Yeah, not just worse quality but also some apps don’t come to Android until months later.

    Linus from tech tips has complained that the Android version of YouTube is missing features that iOS has.

    Another commenter mentioned that someone did a switch to Android challenge and Instagram was missing features.

    A chatgpt competitor has had an app for iOS for months and Android just got it, I think something similar happened with chatgpt.

    It’s not just arbitrary screen size, it’s about with wide variety of specs that need to be supported. Your app needs to work on a crappy modern Android with a slow cpu and limited ram as well as the flagship stuff, its easier for the devs to make a one size fits all app instead of expanding how some features only work on some phones and keep track of all that.

    Additionally, newer versions of Android will have better and more capable apis. But if only 12% of people are on the latest version of Android, then coding the app to use those apis would either break the app on old version of Android or they would have to have code for doing a task an old I efficient way and a newer better way. So they just do it the I efficient way.
