Living in Brazil without Whatsapp is hell, you lost 150% of you communication with the world and people just assume you’re a serial killer, because you don’t have social media.
The proof:
Got an ad for amazon on whatsapp just now. Fucking hate this company.

101·2 days agoThe anti-systemd manifesto on the website: we should have 5000 different packages with no integration whatsoever to manage the OS internals like ntp, services, timers, dns, etc.
I see that a monopolizing software is bad, but it just helps make a working computer work well.
Most healthy phoronix discussion in the comments, systemd, x11 and rust too.
In my opinion systemd helps a lot, dns becomes a lot easier (like managing dns-over-tls), managing services becomes fine (even managing zram on distros without the zram configuration package), etc, so I see why they would want to change some internal stuff to use systemd, less chores on the devs.
3·6 days agoMy tablet draws 4.5w at peak, at low loads it draws almost nothing (x86_64 tablet), maybe it’s the design of the laptop/tablet, but mine just consumes the same even with waydroid on, maybe setting efficiency in the BIOS help, but idk. On windows it just consumes a power plant every minute, linux is just efficient.
Waydroid is a android translator(?) for linux on wayland, it runs android applications in a translation layer (android has linux under it), so you can install a ROM (there’s a default one without google applications like google play services, but you can search a ROM with it) and run android applications like any phone with a custom ROM.
Edit: The tablet with waydroid running:
Waydroid with a ROM with GAPPS? I use lineageos on my linux tablet, a lot of android games run just fine.
I tried before, but I made my life hell on earth. I only have whatsapp now because its mandatory. Since 2022, I only have lemmy, mastodon and unfortunately whatsapp as social media.
