  • I'd do the the opposite. I generally use the default "cordially". But if someone pissed me off I'd use something overly formal and polite like "amicably thanking you for your eventual reply over the matter; if it pleases you"

  • Don't people use it mainly as a calendar? You can see events near you and get alerts to those you've signed up for. There are alternatives of course but I feel a lot firms and people publicize their event through Facebook.

  • Don't worry, Google is actually getting sued for its various malpractices (paying browsers millions to be their default search engine, Google adsense putting the best bidder at the top of the search results, etc). It might even come to the US justice system ordering the breakup of various Google products into smaller independent companies.

  • I get the feeling. I had a fuck-up directory with solutions for my failed android rooting efforts. I tried to flash my phone with a random recovery image I found in an old FAQ section.

  • Makes me remember this one time in English class in France where one student called him Jean-François Kennedy. The whole class had a good laugh, including the teacher 😅

  • My last phone with standard Google Android had a 5000 mAh battery while the new degoogled has one with a bit more than 6000 mAh I think. Even then I feel the overall increase in battery life cannot be explained with hardware only. Without watching videos or playing games, I only have to charge my new phone every 3-4 days. And I've background apps like syncthing running all the time. I've just checked there's actually a few other open source forks of android other than LineageOS. If you're disappointed with it.

  • Well I use Firefox on vollaOS. It's not fully degoogled in terms of apps for sure but I hope change will come.

  • I'm using the volla phone x23 which runs vollaOS, an android fork without all those pesky Google background processes. It uses MicroG to simulate them though, since most Android apps expect them now.

  • Ha! That's one of the reasons I switched to a degoogled android phone. The extra battery life is quite noticeable.

  • Moderation is a problem here? It's been awhile since I've seen someone misbehaving. Generally it was being offensive to individuals or groups of people in a post. But the last one I saw was months ago.

  • Why are we still here? Just to suffer? And to pee again and again ?

  • It's also the name in French for end caps of bicycle break cables. #themoreyouknow

  • Wether it's on the internet or at a bar counter, I like to engage in debate to better myself. If your goal is to turn every fanatic that crosses your path, you're gonna be depressed real soon.

  • Oh the memories of frantically rubbing that screen to pet an imaginary puppy....

  • There's no need for that, unless parts of the US want independence, like some Scots regarding the UK. But break it all up because it's too messy, not healthy? That's what critics of the EU or the UN also say. Myself I've always been an advocate of unity and collaboration since it's the only way we're gonna be able to solve climate change and every other major world crisis.

  • It's not that us outsiders like to watch your elections closely. But we need to since they're gonna have a big impact on the world we live in, whether we like to admit it or not.

  • Syncthing is great to periodically sync files between Linux and Android. And you could use it as file transfer service for occasional needs if you just share an empty directory.

  • Yes but if Valve goes bankrupt (unlikely today but the winds may change), imagine the amount of backlash caused by people not being able to download "their" games since the servers would have been sold.

  • Technically you don't own your Steam games too. As far as game platforms go, it's just GOG and Itch.io where you actually own the copy, right?
