No, it's AMD based

Yeah, and they serve the same purpose.

Yes, to be a stylish product that brings people joy.

“They didn’t spend their money irrationally the same way I’d spend it irrationally, therefore they’re wrong” - this entire thread


I want it exactly as it is in Linux land. This is a solved problem. How are you so dumbfounded?


So why aren't you using GNU/Linux phones?


network effect. Assumptions made by other devs, banking and even government apps, etc


Linux had "stores" long before android


Yeah, and they are the primary way to install software for nearly every distro that has them.

And even when people install software on their user's home only, we don't call it anything different.

It's correct to say that "sideloading" was created to emphasize it's a deviant activity. I believe it was created by the people doing it, when they discovered hacks that enabled them. But I wouldn't be too surprised it was created by the companies trying to prohibit software installation.

But even on Android the word used is "install". When you try to install an apk, the button says "install", not "sideload". "Sideload" is only used in the context of google's blog post, where it's there to differentiate between installs from first party sources vs others. This is an important distinction to capture, because their new restrictions only apply to the latter, so something like "installing isn't going way" wouldn't make sense. "sideload" captures this distinction, and is far more concise than something "installing from third party sources". Moreover this sort of word policing reeks of ingroup purity tests from the culture wars, eg. "autistic vs person with autism" or whatever.


Personally, the first time I hear that word, it was about video game consoles. Smartphones weren't popular at the time.


The AI says the term sideloading, apart from its origin, was used to describe loading music via USB without iTunes on iPods.


I view Debian apt as helpful. I view Apple App Store as limiting and controlling.


You know, there's this thing called shifts. You should look it up.


Alternative hypothesis is that you work on trivial problems, and therefore you get a lot of help from LLMs. Have you considered this?


Im definitely not creating the next StuxNet for sure. So Ill bow down to whoever is writing the next C compiler I suppose.


It has PostgREST, which is the heart of supabase


I have 2.5 gigabits in Belgrade for $15. It's crazy


This is pure nonsense. These protests have nothing to do with Russia, and everything to do with corruption


Did I say otherwise? I think you meant to respond to the OP who implied that Russia is somehow "losing" because of these protests. My Russian wife is telling me that they don't like Vucic either and if he were to vacate the premises no one in Moscow would shed a single tear.


Except none of the crypto "currency" is used as currency at all, and never will. It's used as a crypto asset. For speculation. Or even worse, straight up fraud. The only time I heard crypto was used as currency, is the infamous pizza a decade ago
