I jumped off Reddit’s cliff and landed here just like many other Lemmings.
People still have 2G?
We haven’t had 2G for nearly 8 years. 3G was killed late last year.
It’s such a pain, so many devices don’t support 4G, let alone VoLTE.
Surely 2G isn’t that hard to keep running? It has far better range than 4G, meaning fewer towers are needed. Just keep one or two bands around to make voice calls easier.
Show me a reboot that doesn’t suck
I would argue modern MacOS is not “bad software” per se, it’s just nothing to write home about. Back in the heyday you describe, it was innovative and quite spectacular compared to the competition. Nowadays it’s rivals are better featured in many respects, but it still does everything it needs to.
They acquired K-9 Mail a year ago or so, but it’s still K-9 Mail. There’s plans and a roadmap, but not much has happened that the end user can see, yet.
It’s alright. Personal preference has me sticking with Linux, and I’ll never touch Windows with a ten foot pole if I can avoid it, but MacOS is certainly commendable.
Before I went Linux, I daily drove hackintoshes for a decade or so - back when the hardware was bad and the software was first class. Now it’s the other way around!
If Asahi ever get their kernel perfect, I’m definitely buying a modern MacBook Pro. No doubt about it.
It really does just sort of “work”.
“Sorry, there was a problem. (Error code 0x0000fkn69)”
Nothing Microsoft makes ever works.
And one of the last major holdouts from web 1.0 :(
Pixel 5 and Zenphone come to mind, too.
We have the middle-mouse-button clipboard for this.
This is completely untrue in my experience. My X230T has two battlestations: One with an old, square Samsung VGA monitor, and another two hours away with a modern, DisplayPort, high resolution Dell. I regularly hot-swap monitors by unceremoniously pulling it off or slamming it on to either docking station while it’s running, and even transform it into tablet mode and flip the internal display output 180° without upsetting the external display.
All of this on Fedora 38 Cinnamon, firmly running X11. No “jank” in sight.
I can’t sort by anything other than default as of this update. Currently writing from Thunder instead.
I’m actually quite pleased with what I’ve ended up with now. One of the features of the Postfix / Dovecot server I’m running now is that I have recipient delimiters - for example, if my email is hiding@aussie.zone, I can sign up for Mastodon with hiding+mastodon@aussie.zone, and everything they send me will be automatically filed into the Mastodon folder in my account. Additionally, I know exactly who is selling my data this way. It’s a great system and avoids the unfortunate predicament you currently find yourself in!
Unless I’m mistaken, it’s also impossible for many - myself included. My ISP doesn’t provide me with a public facing IPv6 address.
They did kill it for me. I was grandfathered into the G Suite software because I signed up back when it was free. Last year they turned around and said “we know we told you that, as an early adopter, you could have this forever; but now we’re kicking you out unless you start paying.”
And then they killed IMAP access (without oauth) moments later. Fortunately I was fast enough to set up my own mail server and copy my family’s emails, photos, documents, etc. out of Google. I haven’t trusted them since.
The only Windows PC I use is my work computer.
GPO blocked WSL.
I can’t even escape to a command line with the right flavour of slashes between directories. For eight hours a day, all hope is lost.
