  • For some reason, I thought Ubuntu touch was EOL. Probably because I tried it on a Redmi 5 and it was an unofficial 2018 build. Is the Morph browser still supported? I checked the Github page and the last changes were 3 years ago.

  • Pornhub's 2024 statistics show that almost 5% of traffic came from Linux devices. This number doesn't include PCs that are used purely for work (probably).

  • Enshitification in action. During 2024, Telegram declared war on rooted Android alongside WhatsApp and Viber. This means you can't log in to your account if you have root access or if you don't have Google services.

  • Ubuntu touch is dead. Are there at least native browsers for it?

  • You know what scares us about big tech? Planned obsolescence.

  • Marketers manage to convince tech-savvy people that their device is almost unusable by manipulating percentages. For example, "50% brighter screen, 30% more energy efficient". It even worked for me when I didn't want to buy a previous phone model just because the latest generation had a 50% brighter screen. But then I realized that I was perfectly happy with the screen of my 4 year-old phone.

  • It's pretty clear. Facebook is now full of crap created by artificial intelligence (and not only).

  • I use Parabolic on Linux and YTDLnis on Android. I chose them because of the consistency of design with the OS.

  • Which display size do you want?

  • How much do you pay for your phone plan, what do you get in return and in which country?

  • Slovakia, 300GB for 13 EUR/month, no texts and calls included

    4ka? I saw 15€ price for this plan on their website.

  • And ADBlockers are not allowed either!!

  • Why? Even Windows has some kind of root out of the box.

  • Why not go for 4K? You probably don't need 144 fps in strategy, tile-based, or flight sims, but the crisper image makes a huge difference. If you're worried about GPU performance, just lower the game settings to medium or switch the resolution to 1080p if that doesn't help. That way, every 4 pixels will combine into 1 larger pixel, so the image won't be blurry, maybe slightly worse than native 1080p display.

  • Some Google Maps links containt actual coordinates,

    http://maps.google.com/?ll=XX.XXXX,XX.XXXX

    They are usually generated by 3rd party apps. Like taxi or delivery apps. But links shared from Google maps themselves are encoded on the server side and look like this:

    https://maps.app.goo.gl/GJq5XvqhJnJsS8pU8

    I don't see any reason to encode locations in this way, except to make life difficult for users of other maps. This should be considered anti-competitive behavior.

    P.S. I just realized that Google Maps generates a unique link for each share and tracks every user who clicks on that link.

  • osm2gmaps can also convert Google Maps links to geo:, despite it is designed to do the opposite.
