  • S23 vs Pixel 8?

  • How do you find the battery life? The ultra looks interesting (I feel I would get good use out of the pen), but sadly a bit too expensive for me to consider it good value.

  • Great minds think alike! (Or the availability of compact phones with more than 2 years of software updates is unfortunately small)

    Ah cool, waiting for the pixel 8a might be an interesting option as well assuming they release it within a couple of months

  • Was looking at the pixel 7 as well, but it is technically a hardware downgrade from my current zenfone 8. Very happy with the zenfone performance so a bit worried the 7 would feel sluggish, or at least slower..

  • AnySoftKeyboard is a great FOSS one!

  • Okay, cool! Several people here seem to recommend it so I will add it to the "scale"

  • Okay, good to know! Do you know whether banking etc is a problem on graphene or not? Last time I used custom roms I got it working with microg but I heard there might have been some regressions?

  • Is it still that bad huh? I had an A50 before and the bloat was one of the reasons I disliked that phone.

  • Yeah, that is one of the reasons I'm intrigued. Havent looked at it since the Rossman/Daniel Micay thing though, is it still good?

  • What do you like about your Linux Distro?

    • Nobara for my gaming rig, same as OP + lots of out of the box gaming fixes.

    • Tumbleweed for the laptop, rolling release while (in my experience) being a bit less likely to break than arch.

    • Ubuntu/Debian/MicroOS/Alma for servers depending on whether I want stability + some fresher software, mountain-like stability, automatically updating container hosts or if I need redhat compatibility.

    • Mint if its someone elses old computer they want to "just work", since I dislike being tech support more than necessary.

  • YouTube tests disabling videos for people using ad blockers

    1. That happens whether you're subscribed or not.
    2. Sort of agreed, not really relevant to the parent comment though. 3+4. You can't have both "no ads allowed in-video" and "creators are paid a majority share of the money we make serving the video". YouTube was (and still is if I understand it correctly) barely profitable, and if it is profitable right now I'm sure it is because of the worst kind of data-mining.

    It is way harder to provide an effective platform for content than it is to deliver actual content, especially as effort/content has close to zero effect on vitality/attention/profitability, while the aspects we want in a platform (especially in regards to privacy) are entirely unprofitable. As someone who uses adblock and generally dislikes the corporate aspect of YouTube I at least has to acknowledge that YouTube has to make money somehow, and that in-video sponsors seems like a win-win for everyone involved, especially when you can skip them pretty much effortlessly.

    Normally I wouldn't even comment this shit, but as we are (hopefully) part of a shift to actual community driven platforms (fediverse in general), I think we have to aggressively discuss how to monetize these platforms enough so that they don't actively drain the wallets of the people maintaining them, and this is a very relevant aspect of that discussion.

    Hopefully not too ranty, extremely inebriated.
