Field experiment.

No idea what that is.

I worked with it. Just Linux. Rpm was at that moment.

We need phones with standard Linux. Without strange “Java only mediator” or something. Just a normal OS.

Android is a pain in the ass.

I don’t think this guy understands the concept of a friend. “Friend” isn’t just a speaking machine. Friendship is mostly about some deeds. In many cases even useful deeds, not just fun messing around.

That’s a start. But it is still a long way to go.

If they don’t save those photos somewhere else from time to time, it means those photos aren’t that important.

Most people don’t have anything of importance on their phones. And the tuning options are almost absent on phones, so it is less problematic bug-wise.

In the times when floppies started to die out we had external USB floppy drives. I’m sure you would be able to find one if you wish.

Imagine a thermostat needing an internet connection.

Because some influencer say you should. Works this way for too many people.

Regurgitation without critical thought is

called synopsis and is a vital part of “popularization of science or engineering”

Can’t you just run any release through a normally installed version of wine?

In most cases – no. Wine is far from being a reliable tool. Many programs demand this or that patch for Wine to work. And you surely don’t want to tinker with that.

And if you know where to search, there is a Wine repack for Linux. I tested it on Debian testing – works.

You’re hugely overestimating the size of that “leaving”.

Reddit thinks that it has so many content creators that it can sacrifice a lot of them to keep others in line. Not sure in a big perspective, but so far Reddit has succeeded in what it is doing.

reddit doesn’t own anything of value

Wrong. Reddit has a tremendous amount of diverse information. Lemmy is empty. It fills the hole for most basic news and stupid memes, but that’s it. Lemmy doesn’t have technical information. Technical dialogs (the only variant of useful dialogs) are impossible here.

that we can’t have for ourselves or do for ourselves here

Oh yes. We can. But we don’t.

we won this small victory in a grander fight

Running away isn’t a victory.

They wanted you out. They got what they wanted. They win.
