I haven’t had issues running a few things I needed within a VM. However, those tasks aren’t demanding.

Looking at you “iCloud for Windows”.

I haven’t worn a belt in months. 🥳

I once was so enthusiastic about Fedora…

That’s what I hoping for, because it’s sick being nearly up to date while being so stable and user friendly at the same time.

Oh indeed! That helps as well. I imagine other manufacturers do this too, but I only follow Apple closely since I was a huge fanboy half a decade ago. So I can’t speak with certainty for them

Me, on Fedora, wondering when the wiretapping begins.

(I’m hoping they step it back, else it’s Debian for me 🙃)

I agree, but I’m just spitballing why others could potentially see Meta joining the verse as a positive.

I think it’s the impulse to have the Frediverse grow, but it’s a bit of a Trojan horse innit?

Also we need to consider how phone companies differ from Google and Apple. Those two also generate money off the users purchasing apps and etc, and they have the ability to push users to their services easier. Where as strictly phone manufacturers make money at the sale of the handset, so – as you put it – they’re incentivized to have as much penetration as possible by selling as many models they can.

Tho, I do think people are starting to care about support length as the phone market matures and people wait longer to buy their new phones. Which is why, I think, Android manufacturers are lengthening support (and not out of the goodness of their hearts)

Oh wow, I didn’t even consider checking for updates while I’m working from home.

What did the Lemmy meme go nuts on Twitter or something?

Don’t go on that place so I may be put of the loop.

Strangely enough, because I’m finding it to be more stable than Windows.

My work laptop has the Bluetooth or Internet service just cut out without any explanation. The first reboot doesn’t fix it, but for some reason the second does 🤷‍♀️

Boxers-while-working gang rise up.

I’ve been waiting for this forever!!

Yeah… I just wanted to connect my phone via adb. Ended up removing myself from the sudo-ers group. Since I did not know how to fix this problem at the time this caused a fresh install.

Ah, thank you for explaining. I don’t follow Linux news as closely as I should, and I wondered if this affects me because I use Fedora.

Well, billionaires are wonderful people deep down.

Well, I mean, in the United States our culture is built around “business good; much innovation” and anything to stymie corporate efforts is met with groans of “you’ll understand why it must be this way when you’re older.” It’s almost reflex for some to be apologists for corporations.

Heck, I even read some takes around that damned submarine being along the lines of “we shouldn’t regulate the sub industry – that CEO was just trying to innovate!”

God bless, it happens in the other direction too.

What on earth? Maintaining my Fedora machine has been a breeze, and most games work out the box whenever you install them on Steam!

Gaming has become the main task I expect my Linux device to do expertly!
