Because you’re trashing the environment, wasting compute cycles, unnecessarily transferring data, wasting bandwidth (however small), etc?

Just use the calculator app bro.

I do most my work on the terminal so I prefer something in the middle: convention over configuration, most functionality included but rather small by default. More complex needs can be compiled in.

Related: I wish more Linux distributions’ package managers would allow for binary installation alongside source compiled packages. In FreeBSD I’m amazed at how well pkg’ binary packages play with ports-compiled ones.

Yeah exactly. I’ve got a Windows Vista era laptop that runs Linux without issue.

That’s what I always say but it always devolves into “Apple shortchanges its users” talk.

Strangely it’s not even about Reddit. I was about to go off about “who cares about Reddit, this is Lemmy” but the post body just meanders on about communities on the latter for some reason.

Right, because jumping back into it will express my discontent 🙄

Jesus Christ the comments predictably went straight back into the 8 GB debate. So burned out on this theme.

Couldn’t find a better title than “…reddit…”?

This reminds me of a long running joke I have with my wife since I purchased a pizza oven. The idea is to invite all our friends over for “pizza night” but when they all show up we’d just have a few “fancy” frozen pizzas.

Dude even just reading his drivel is almost impossible with the fucked up casing everywhere. How do people make it through a complete paragraph (if that’s what you call just dumping out lines of text)?

The researchers found 1,748 active, verified credentials from major service providers (including Amazon Web Services, Stripe and OpenAI). These credentials were found publicly accessible within the live code of websites.

I mean, what else is new?

I’m a bit leery of trusting news from random Substack sites. I’d need to see a stronger second source to take anything from that site seriously.

And anyone that uses a Meta product has shit for brains.

Amen

Why not just go to the bathroom before sleeping?

Having no apps in the background except recently used ones

This is exactly what iOS does seamlessly. The unused apps’ memory is dumped to disk and when you come back to it later it’s moved back into memory.

Going through all the apps and swiping up to close them is a habit that comes from early Android users and is completely unnecessary on iOS. It’s been that way for a long, long long time, so long that I would guess iOS 3 or 4.

I absolutely cannot stand RCS. Here in the US all the carriers have given up implementing it themselves and instead offload it to Google — I’m not even an Android user! I have to explicitly unblock a bunch of Google domains for RCS to work.

E2E will be nice once it’s functional with iOS but I still loathe depending on Google.

Then wouldn’t you prefer to be on iOS where apps are automatically managed and don’t waste your battery by constantly opening/closing them? Where background tasks are limited and managed rather than just given access to essentially do whatever they want?

And worsen your battery life? It costs more to constantly close and reinitialize apps than it does to let iOS handle them itself.

Why? iOS apps don’t really impact CPU, memory, power while they’re in the background.

Why use NTFS if FAT32 works?
