    Does anyone actually prefer Android over iOS?

  • I'm on Lineage OS and it's pretty good minus I can't fully utilize my cameras as much, but it functions.

    I love having 4-5 day battery life though. I charged up Sunday and am at 68%still, no lie! Not having Google everything run in the background is awesome!

  • I have around 130TB redundant and it wouldn't equate to Netflix. Though I store in higher quality than most, but you'd need low quality like 720p utilizing h.265 or AV1 to save space to hold all that. Likely anything you download would be h.264 so you'd need to convert all that media too.

  • Thanks! And I've seen a lot of people shit on the modern copyright system as it is, because you're essentially paywalling for no real reason. I forget how it was explained, but another comment a few weeks back made better sense than I can recall here.

    It's why I've switched to a lot of FOSS apps. Contributions to community driven apps make loads of improvements, and if there needs to be different solutions or goals, they can be forked off to meet different needs. It helps keep applications lightweight vs cumbersome and heavy trying to be a sloppy Swiss army knife.

  • Good point! Well explained!

  • Capitalism went from allowing competition to drive down prices to companies incrementally increasing prices that everyone follows and repeats.

    I can recall this very thing "working well" with retail rewards systems. Best buy would revamp their rewards program actually making benefits worse and raising more spending to hit different tiers, and other similar retailers followed. The "Geek squad" services increased, so did competitors to remain competitive while increasing profits.

    Automotive repair shop's cost of hourly labor goes up while the actual mechanics hardly see an increase in pay.

    Slowly but surely things have gone up in price while what you're spending money on buys you less. Physical media that you OWN never "expires" but streaming services and buying digital copies in services like Apple TV lose the rights. Games disappear because severs shut down or rights expire.

    YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND BE HAPPY! and the way big tech is treated, well, if buying isn't owning, than piracy isn't stealing.

  • Take away about 25-27% for federal and state taxes, social security, idk if they pay for health care since gov, but then she also lives in NY, so I'm sure is not cheap.

  • Circlus messenger?

    Jump

  • Honestly, any secure messaging app would suffice! Maybe minus Signal since that needs a phone number currently.

    I use an XMPP server to do messaging for my kid without a "real phone".

    Honestly, with lineage it'd be pretty locked down as they couldn't do Google play apps for major social media, but I guess it depends on how old and knowledgeable they'd be about loading micro G for that stuff.

    Also, iirc, you can use an MDM with Lineage OS bc it's still Android at its core, which could run Android enterprise, and Manage Engine does full MDM for free under 25 licenses/devices. Might be worth a test to deploy apps that way. I've done that for regular Android devices when my oldest wanted more freedom without me having to utilize Google all the time.

  • Why would anyone decide to use USENET these days?

    Jump

  • But don't you pay for its use, like providers and indexers? Seems archaic, and I've never had enough good reasons to use it so I'm curious what others say. If I did, I was a teenager and probably didn't understand what I was using anyway.

  • Favorite Killing Nazis Movie?

  • I think I liked Sisu better than IN. Tarentino is good, of course, but they always feel the same. Sisu was so unexpectedly good, I can't help but recommend it all the time.
