Gonk.

Sounds like the cost of doing business.

Linux socks or it didn’t happen!

“Rate my setup”

The veto power in the UN makes it not functional. When China, Russia, France, The United Kingdom, or the United States veto something it’s done, without debate or “peaceful resolution.”

Veto power in the UN.

US using it’s veto power 34 times against ending the war in Gaza.

Russia using it’s veto power against using war in Ukraine.

When the big kids in the playground can do everything they want there is no space for debate or peaceful resolution, everyone else just shows up.

Thoughts and prayers for the world?

The primary purpose of the United Nations (UN) is to maintain international peace and security. It aims to take effective collective measures to prevent and remove threats to peace, suppress acts of aggression, and settle international disputes peacefully, in accordance with principles of justice and international law.

Cool, but did you stop giving money and weapons yet? No? Then your statement is as effective as “thoughts and prayers.”

The Health ministry demands more meat for the grinder.

Not to highjack but, does anyone know if this works on foldable phones?
Small for outer screen and split for internal screen.

Interesting, I didn’t know AI couldn’t do chain links.

I jumped through a lot of hoops and got it installed on Linux. I’m sure I’ll have lots of trouble with patches too.

“Hey diddle diddle, right up the middle!”

Dum Dum.

Just them, again seeing what they can get away with.

Hey, I just wanted to get back to you with an update and a reassessment. Due to insurance issues and them giving me the run around. I would not recommend a foldable device a carrier will try to screw you at every corner if you have any issues and make you jump through hoops of flaming shit just to get a replacement device. I realized these are the perfect rich person toy, that you will need to get the upgrade every year or risk insurance claim hell.

If you get a foldable, have a backup potato phone, keep your backup stuff there and work profile.

That being said, I will likely be getting a replacement Tuesday.

It’s not for everyone, but I love having a real phablet in my pocket. It is basically like carrying a full computer in your pocket; be it for videos or pictures or just browsing Lemmy, I like having the bigger screen. I am more of a power user of the device and run and control my other computers using Termux shell and SSH.

The outer screen I wish was a bit wider. I wish Samsung would put the fold at 90 degrees from where it is currently, so the outer screen would be shorter and fatter, which would make it more usable.

Sound quality is quite good, or good enough for me (not much of an audiophile), it can get louder than my partner’s phone when we have volume battles. I have not heard any audio distortion from it being turned up all the way, either.

Samsung Galaxy Fold 4 and Samsung Galaxy Flip 3. And thank you.

I have the Fold 4, I’ve been using it as a daily driver since 2022. I love the thing, but just last night I had my first problem with it, I have a hardware failure that when I close my phone it turns it off. I am luckily still under the T-Maybe insurance; I have to go poke them with a stick later.
My partner has the flip 3, still going strong.

Overall I love the device, but I recommend never having a foldable without insurance.
