de-Googled android sounds even better.

They are already degoogled for the Chinese market. What the Chinese Android variants to not have is a shared replacement for Play Services and a shared app store because everyone is doing their own thing for maps API, payment, …

To what?

Read the article and find out.

Harmony Os will probably end up taking over realistically just due to everything going on in the world.

For Huawei but their competitors have no interest in that. Just look at the degoogled Android phones for the domestic Chinese market: Everyone ships their own app store and replacement APIs for PlayServices (not compatible to Google’s). So app developers need to target each vendor’s flavor of Android individually. It’s insane.

The logical way would be to create a joint venture for a common app store and PlayStore replacements but they don’t. Maybe this story is about exactly that but it should tell you that Xiaomi and the others have no interest in being controlled by a 3rd party.

Just get rid of everything Nvidia. Problem solved.

Why are you even using flatpak if its core usecase offends you?

All power to you. Take your time and feel free to announce it properly to the whenever you’re ready.

My completely non representative opinion is that a WebKitGTK browser that works well and feels fine across desktops is a niche looking to be filled.

Probably too bare bones for what I would look in a web browser, though. Still refreshing to see someone with a WebKitGTK browser not mimic Gnome Web.

Looks good

Is it a “traditional” web browser or yet another Gnome header bar app?

Not off the top of my head but I distinctly remember that the Pixel A phone scored higher than the flagship Pixel model.

I would need to look the video up but I’m also between appointments, so I can comment for a bit but not do research.

Not off the top of my head, sorry.

The biggest downside of Fairphone IMO is that they don’t maintain their hardware support in LineageOS and for the retail product then branch development off, add a bit of custom branding and adapt whatever Google requires these days. It would greatly improve custom ROM support in general.

Sometimes last year Marquez Brownlee (I think it was him, I don’t think it was Dave2D) was conducting a blind test among his audience which Photos they thought looked best. Some top brands were jumping up and down from one test scenario to another but the Fairphone ended up in the midfield constantly. True, that’s not a glowing recommendation of the camera but at least an insurance that one doesn’t get utter trash either.

I wasn’t making a comment regarding forcing, I was sharing an anecdote how Microsoft themselves are offering free workarounds for features they want to get paid for.

So by default I can’t use it even if I want to use it.

You can use the feature for free by using Microsoft’s Copilot chat bot, making the subscription requirement even more stupid.

Instead of connecting the lines in the background it seemed to just take an average of the pixel colors of the edge of what I erased and fill it in with that average color. Such intelligence!

Paint has two AI models depending on your hardware, whether you have a “Copilot Plus” PC or not.

Where are you carrying that eGPU?

Meanwhile: Politicians who never had a day of honest work their entire life.

Have to disagree when you consider eGPUs.

eGPUs with a handheld? Yeah… nope.

The benefits of Intel (mostly Thunderbolt) are irrelevant for handhelds, though.
