Lol no

Any reduction in plastic is a good thing.

Personally, id choose them over plastic ones if not just to save plastic

I gotta say, i love how these comments are civil. Linux often seems to devolve into turf wars. Just made me happy

I was having issues with my pc hanging on reboot, so i changed the bios to auto boot when power is applied, and use a smart switch to manually power cycle when it hangs.

Not sure if the mac bios supports that, but its worth a look

I may be wrong, but isnt vi based on ed?

This really reinforces my decision to pirate content.

Gnu taler?

Good looking out. I edited the link.

Damn i still say that like that sometimes, and i totally forgot where it came from

As someone without an electric car, i always assumed it was for something to do while charging.

Im using freebsd on my nas because it has better zfs support than linux does. Or at least was the case as of a couple years ago.

Originally i just threw a few extra drives into my old Arch machine, but i noticed my package upgrades were being held back because zfs on linux (or whatever they called it) was dependant on older kernels or something. I cant remember the exact details.

Yeah, reading these comments, it looks like they are not legally able to call it unix, despite having direct lineage. Linux however is a complete re-write, making it more obviously not proper unix by most definitions.

Linux is unix-like, and not from the same family really. ChromeOS is based on linux, so similarly unix-like. Mac is Darwin, which is actually unix. Also all BSDs are unix

sudo flatpak upgrade

I have a pinephone and a pinephone pro, and they are basically just fun linux toys. I keep it in my bag in case my regular phone breaks during travel. It does text and make phone calls. Battery life is pretty bad, but i always have battery banks on me.

The only real daily use ive found is as a security camera monitor at work. Also I run easytether on it and my android to skirt tethering fees when needed. Occasionally when on the road, i need a proper linux install to do something. Ive used it to troubleshoot networking things as well.

If anything its been more of a raspberry pi replacement than a phone replacement for me.

Thats a fair point, i never tried banking on waydroid. Most of the stuff i would need on the go seemed fine though.

Although, as far as tap to pay goes, i could see that getting baked into linux properly. I dont believe apple pay and google pay tap pay are using a different protocol. I may very well be wrong though.

Waydroid runs decently on the pinephone. On a phone with better specs, it might be downright usable for proprietary apps.

Potentially a proton-style layer could really ease transition, like on the steamdeck

Leaving my house for over an hour

My point is really just that it is an entirely different software stack than the traditional linux experience. I cant just download the source for a standard linux app and compile it for android, it needs to be ported.

I think pinephone and librem are the closest we have gotten to a proper linux phone. But the specs suck, and the mobile optimized app ecosystem isnt there yet. Thats the point of the op meme.
