    Some people need the space if they don’t live in a city and have lots of children or dogs or tools and then an electric SUV is much better than a ICE van or truck.

    Especially if that home had terrible bus and train connections because of the decades long fight of the country’s right wing party to defund and dismantle the public transportation network in order to privatize it for their corporate interests.





  • Different person, but I have had my Xperia 5ii for 4 years. It hasn’t gotten any updates for 2.5, but in Belgium, bank apps and a national identity authentication app HAVE to work because the national ID reading software doesn’t work on atomic linux distros so I can’t risk putting Lineage on it to extend its lifespan. The fingerprint sensor stops working 4-12 hours after a reboot due to a prolific software bug and the battery life has degraded quite a bit.

    Maybe the FP6 would be a good successor. FP5 actually got 3rd for me when I took the MKBHD blind photo test after the pixels, the camera seems quite good now.


  • I’m sorry but this is a pure BS cop-out.

    1. Most low-end cheap phones still have a headphone jack, they wouldn’t do this if it was a cost burden.

    2. A headphone jack plus a driver chip is literally pennies at their production scale. Making the hole in the housing and putting in a gasket after the fact would be more expensive than the headphone jack itself

    3. They have custom bodies anyway due to their repairability. Changing the body mold to include the hole for the headphone jack is trivial as they already have to make holes for the antennas

    4. “The standard” of the phone industry literally 5 years ago was that every phone had a headphone jack. Only after Samsung followed apple in 2019 with the note 10 did companies think for the coming years “I can make slightly more profit and sell my wireless earbuds if I remove it”

    Guess what year Samsung put out their first wireless earbuds? 2019, the same year they removed the headphone jack

    Guess what year Apple removed the headphone jack? The exact same time that they released their wireless earbuds.

    Guess what fairphone put out the year they removed the headphone jack? Wireless earbuds.

    It is, was, and always has been a money-grubbing ploy to sell wireless earbuds for greater profit. That is just the truth and there is no way to spin it that removes history that the only actual motivation behind it is to sell more wireless accessories.



  • Yeah, I’m sorry but also the policy of OSM to not update road closures (and also no standard way to do it) until they reach a few months to a half year makes it almost useless for navigation in places with multiple construction projects throughout a year

    I can get 20 minutes added to my 30 minute route trying to find a good detour because organic maps just keeps shoving me back to a closed route.

    There is construction in different places 6-7 months of the year here. If I can’t trust organic maps to get me to my destination, then it is useless as a car navigation tool and I can’t switch from map services that update their maps frequently.





  • I had the same thing on Bazzite just with the local network, not a VPN.

    I believe it has to do with the firewall. You have to open the port both incoming and outgoing for 53317.

    But you literally have to be on the same network, so for example if both devices are on the same local network (hence local in the name) and your phone is on a VPN but your computer is not on a VPN, then it won’t work.

    It should work if you VPN into your local network remotely so that both devices are on the same LAN, however, then that won’t work anyway because you have to have physical access to the device to accept the transfer (you could probably use a remote desktop to do that, but then it is getting complicated)




  • Your cloud example is exactly right and exactly what we want to NOT HAPPEN.

    They shoved the cloud so much down our throats so that they can force you into monthly income-sucking unneeded subscriptions. That is it. That is the single reason everyone did it.

    The result is now the average user has a much worse experience overall. One literally has to fight with Microsoft products to save things on their own computer. IoT and smart products literally won’t function without connections to their “cloud”. Phones come without SD card compatibility and with low flash memory to force you into cloud subscriptions. Now every damn piece of software is a way overpriced subscription that almost all originally started as “switching to cloud infrastructure” (fucking adobe creative cloud).

    The “cloud” has had so many data breaches and people data have been stolen, siphoned off, lost due to bugs, and sold to earn even more cash on the side.

    A huge portion of the general corporatization and bad enshittification of digital services and software in general can be attributed to “the cloud shoving down our throats” that you describe.

    AI is looking to do the same thing except castrate peoples’ digital skills, critical thinking skills, transcription skills, and writing skills in order to siphon more and more of your income off in the form of AI subscriptions while they double dip and sell everything you ever say to it and triple dip in mining everything you say to it as R&D that you pay to do

    Companies need to do the fucking R&D themselves with their revenue of a small country and stop forcing regular people to pay to be their alpha and beta testers and focus groups, and people gobble that boot up so hard because LLMs have a few small areas where they are slightly useful and can save 10 minutes per day and make them not have to critically think, so people will literally sell their data, their already small income, and their soul to save 10 minutes, and in 10 years the digital experience will be even more shitty and degraded than it got after “the cloud.”

    Your usecase is the exact definition as using LLMs as accessibility and to actually better the user experience for certain people which is not the goal of any AI company or 99% of LLM integrations

    TD;DR

    Non-consentual cloud shoving has caused newer generations to think that paying corporations every month to save files is normal and that your data is not yours and always corporate property ™®©, along with the decimation of understanding simple file structures. You can actually talk to teachers and professors and they unanimously say that tech literacy has nosedived.

    Now with the LLM shoving, they are trying to force the new generation to have to pay subscriptions to think, write, compose, draw, and get information by stripping them of those skills.
