I realize that's not exactly what you asked for but
Pipewire had been incredibly stable for me. Difference between the absolute nightmare of using BT devices with alsa and super smooth experience in pipewire is night and day.
What's so special about 0 - 100?
40° of civilized units sucks, but is still perfectly survivable and is becoming more and more common in some parts of the world. That's 104° of fucked up units.
Negatives up to -30° are also common around the world and I frequently went out in shorts and t-shirt in -10° for a short time to grab mail or take out trash.
The only sort of reasonable justification for F units I've ever heard was that there's less of a change between whole degrees, but decimals are not exactly hard to figure out imnho.
Seems too expensive. Most people that owned a phone with a camera for the last few years would easily be in the $200/yr plan. I know I am.
That's the cost of Amazon and Walmart subscriptions combined just to get one benefit of Amazon subscription.
I realize people here tend to shit on Amazon, but they never leaked anyone's photos so unless you share them yourself, they are perfectly safe in AWS cloud with unlimited storage.
Zero issues for me. Been daily driving it for years. Play Steam games regularly, but have not tried switching to X. Performance on Windows is MUCH better with my 1080ti playing D4, but I'm prefectly content with preformance on Linux and don't want to keep switching.
I don't think your assumption is right at all. Me, and I sure fucking hope 99% of other people who bought a PHEV, charge at home. Because if not, why the fuck did you massively overpay for a car when you could've gotten the ICE version?
My car is basically full electric for 99% of the time because 50 miles of electric range I get is plenty for daily driving in city traffic.
I just don't want to waste money on full electric because somehow they are still treated and priced like luxury cars despite most of them being equivalent to cheap cars in build quality and materials.
I also want to avoid the hassle of spending too much time at charging stations during long trips because I have kids and just want to get places. And please don't tell me there are a ton of charging stations without wait. I constantly see and hear from my friends who own electric cars how much of a pain it is especially during holidays. And I live in CA, easily one the states most prepared for electric cars.
Small companies often allow devs access to prod DBs. It doesn't change the fact that it's a catastrophically stupid decision, but you often can't do anything about it.
And of course, when they inevitably fuck up the blame will be on the IT team for not implementing necessary restrictions.
And made significantly worse by
a) locking you into using a restricted version of the browser made by a shitty company.
b) laging noticeably behind that browser in development
c) using custom apis for performing tasks already available in any browser like interacting with microphone, camera etc
d) breaking perfectly working components that rely on OS apis in regular browsers like screen sharing, video acceleration, etc
e) some of the above is partially responsible for Electron being totally broken on certain combinations of OS/WM/hardware where regular browsers work prefectly fine
I can keep going, but my point is all these pointless sacrifices are supposedly there to save dev team a bit of time instead of designing a properly working website and just using a web app or allocating some time to build a functional native app.
Fuck Google and fuck electron. It's just a pathetic attempt to mine more data from people using pseudo app.
After years of using it, there was only once a brief release in which screen sharing actually worked. The only way I can share screen at the moment is by launching slack in any of chrome based browsers. None of the apps work. Not the native one, not the flatpak, not the snap.
My previous phone was OnePlus 8 pro and 5t before that. Both still work more reliably than this pixel.
I did hear that Pixel 8 pro is a better phone but I don't think Tensor will ever be as good as Qualcomm's offerings.
I'm not one of the people willing to sacrifice convenience for privacy. I really like Android auto and Google pay so imnho Android phone is useless without Google services, but I agree that there are simply no good alternatives at the moment, so I'll probably get another pixel when I smash this one against the wall from frustration.
Web apps are awesome on desktop especially when common clients like Skype and Slack are absolute fucking shit with zero dev time spent on them because Electron is a lazy alternative despite being shit software that needs to fucking die.
Thankfully --no-remote parameter still sort of works to make Firefox semi usable as a web app.
Pixel is garbage hardware though. I'm on pixel 7 pro now and it is the worst phone I've ever had. Shit battery life, shit reception, shit processor that lags constantly, absolute shit Bluetooth chip that randomly disconnects in crucial moments when I'm on important calls or REALLY need android auto. This phone is only good at taking pictures and the fact that I get exclusive spam filtering features. We badly need another alternative.
Proton is way too overpriced for older accounts with a lot of stuff accumulated and encryption is a gimmick unless you're only communicating with other Proton users. All companies encrypt email at rest.
I'm currently using and can definitely recommend purely mail. Obviously backup, but so far the service has been excellent. It's the only fairly priced service out there for personal hosting that supports custom domains.
