Not really apocalyptic per-se. The nightmare scenario would be that plastic would start bio-degrading similar to wood products and become far less viable as a material for long-term use containers. Yeah, it would require a massive shift in how we store things, esp. highly reactive chemicals, but it’d hardly be apocalyptic.

I think this is too many levels of irony for lemmy lol

Unfortunately, this is very true.

For what it’s worth, I still try to maintain as much control as possible by using OSes like Graphene or Linux. I also have just started refusing to pay for things I can’t own. That includes gaming consoles, cloud services, smart home devices, Samsung/Apple phones, leased cars, etc. If Google keeps killing and locking down AOSP, it may soon include all Android phones too.

I’m hoping we can get some regulations pushed through before that point.

Unless you have no counter-arguments, in which case you need to do some research and reflection lol

That video is the reason I knew the roots lol

Spirala?

Nano has syntax highlighting out of the box IIRC. I’ve used it for programming in a pinch but no, it’s nowhere near as extensible as VSCode or Vim. It’s a text editor, not an IDE

The best alternative I found was CopyQ, but I did have to write some custom automation scripts to move the window into position and close it when clicking away

Oh trust me, I’m no fan of Samsung, but I tend to value control of my devices over…whatever it is Apple does. I had an iPhone until I discovered replacing the home button myself artificially bricked the device due to DRM forcing customers to go to an Apple store for repairs. Never again

Ah thanks, my bad; I must have remembered incorrectly. I’ve updated my original comment

Huh…I’m guessing banking apps? Those are the only ones that have ever given me problems on old Android devices

Source?

As far as I know, nearly all flagship phones, Apple or otherwise, get about 7 years of update support (except Pixel phones with GrapheneOS which get 14 ignore; I remembered this incorrectly).

The difference is, even my old phone running Android 8 (a 9yo OS) can still browse the web, run all apps, and perform fine as a phone. An even older phone running Android 4.4 can still run 3rd party apps. iPhones seem to stop working about a year after they stop receiving updates, and they don’t support sideloading (also know as running the software you want to run on the device you own).

Let me guess, iPhone?

My current job provided me with a test env that has half the resourse allocation of production, and it immediately runs out of RAM when you try to use it…

I like shutdown now because it feels like I’m reprimanding my PC

Or just use QEMU/KVM wirh VirtIO extensions if you don’t need hardware rendering on Windows. Problem is most dual-booters I know use Windows to play games with kernel anti-cheat. Not much you can do to virtualize that

Midwest US here too and my family also had this table when I was a kid. This comment section feels like a bunch of midwesterners realizing the midwest US isn’t the entire world lol
