MartinXYZ,

russian, japanese or otherwise ‘communist’ Japanese = ‘communist’???

MartinXYZ,

Yeah, that makes more sense. Thank you.

MartinXYZ,

I’ve told this story on here before, but here it is again: I used to write for a very Windows-centric computer magazine, and after a couple of years I noticed that most of the content I was writing was about how to make Windows behave less like Windows. So I thought I’d give Linux a go, and I haven’t looked back since. I’ve had phases when I tried convincing all my friends to make the switch, but I’ve realized that it’s just not for everyone. I don’t think I’m obsessed, I don’t customize my desktop much, I just want my system to work smoothly.

MartinXYZ,

What is this referring to? I’ve played New Vegas and don’t remember anything about bisexuals…

Next smartphone I buy, which one do you recommend?

Things that make me angry about my current smartphone Samsung Galaxy S21Ultra on a Verizon plan is the mandatory software updates in which they install WITHOUT MY PERMISSION stupid apps like Netflix and addictive gambling games and stacking block games and Candy crush. God knows what else they install without my permission. I...

MartinXYZ,

Perhaps Fairphone?

MartinXYZ,

Murena phones are basically Fairphone with /e/OS

One of the main features of Fairphones is that they are easily repairable - it doesn’t look like Murena has done anything to make it easier to fix.

MartinXYZ,

They don’t look the same though. I’ve only been to the Murena website and looked at their “phone 2”, that’s not the same hardware as Fairphone.

Edit: okay, I should have scrolled down a bit more. It looks like they made a " Murena Fairphone" too, where they’ve given a Fairphone the Murena treatment.

Apple announces that RCS support is coming to iPhone next year (9to5mac.com)

In a surprising move, Apple has announced today that it will adopt the RCS (Rich Communication Services) messaging standard. The feature will launch via a software update “later next year” and bring a wide range of iMessage-style features to messaging between iPhone and Android users....

MartinXYZ,

When will I be able to use RCS in other messaging apps than Google Messages on Android?

MartinXYZ,

Wait, so Apple is doing something good for 3rd party apps? I did not expect that to happen in my lifetime

Games that my non-gamer girlfriend can watch me playing?

I recently finished The Last of Us 2. My girlfriend sometimes watches me play my games. And while I thought that TLoU would be a great game to follow, it was hard for her to watch (due to the violence). I wonder if there is a game that would be easy or even interesting for her to watch while I play, without it having to be...

MartinXYZ,

Perhaps “Contrast”? It’s a gloomy puzzler with a good soundtrack, I would imagine it’s quite engaging to watch as well as play.

MartinXYZ,

The keyboard nunchucks aren’t doing him any favours.

MartinXYZ,

What’s the point of being “pro-Hitler”? the fucker is dead. And has been for ages. He’s not taking back the power. I would understand “Hitler-sympathizer”, but being pro-Hitler? You’re a century late, buddy.

MartinXYZ,

I guess it’s a subtle difference. Perhaps it’s just something that I think, and I’m not a native English speaker. It just sounds weird to me. being anti-Hitler would also be weird. He’s already gone. Being pro-nazi or anti-nazi would make more sense(in my head)

Seeking Advice for Flawless Transition from Windows to Linux (Ubuntu or Fedora)

After more than a decade in the Windows world, I’m finally taking the step into the Linux world, specifically considering Ubuntu or Fedora. I’m looking for advice on making this transition as seamless as possible, with a focus on improving my coding experience and ensuring a smooth gaming setup....

MartinXYZ,

Just install Steam (and maybe Lutris) and you’re done.

If OP has games they want to play from Epic and GOG, Heroic Games Launcher is a good addition.

MartinXYZ,

stealing cars

I don’t remember this one either, but wasn’t there a while back when it was a trend to wreck bathrooms/toilets? Not sure if it was a challenge, but it was something that started on TikTok.

MartinXYZ,

My mother was a professional hot air balloon pilot…

I really liked how this started, but not how it progressed.

MartinXYZ,

Plenty of other stories

I’m glad.

MartinXYZ,

He does look like Kim Dotcom, who is indeed German-Finnish but I’m not certain it’s him.

MartinXYZ,

Also, for what it’s worth: from the pictures I’ve found, it looks like Dotcom has darker facial hair, but it might depend on the lighting.

MartinXYZ,

You’re assuming GOD is a man?

MartinXYZ,

I’m sorry, I don’t understand that reference.

MartinXYZ,

Thank you for explaining 🤗

MartinXYZ,

If you want a Linux handheld, why not buy a Steam Deck? What does this do better than the Deck?
