This. I was putting a lot of hope into the PinePhone, but the effort required to 1) make it at least barely usable and then 2) keep it that way across updates is just too huge.
And believe me, I tried back then. Even as a software developer, I couldn’t live with it, making all the possible sacrifices. After more than a year of struggles I just got a Pixel 7 and couldn’t be happier to this day.
Exactly. Unless the CEO’s machine struggles with the app (or the top tier customer keeps nagging), optimizing anything gets pushed down the backlog. Sure, let’s create a followup ticket. And then cancel it in a year or two. If it runs, it runs. Good enough.
This works well for me. The hardest part comes from social interactions, not from hunger. Cooking for a family and not eating, that sucks.
Not what the post is about, but finding my MX5 on a parking lot is getting increasingly difficult, yes.
They lose some of their sound, literally. This is very audible with the mandolin, it gets quite muted as the strings age. What a difference when you change them.
…the suspense is killing me! What is it?
I love the design and idea behind these things, I just wish I had a good excuse to use one.
Can’t imagine the rash you’d get from this.
I for one still find it amusing how it can get stuck on different things every now and then. Even after all these years. Especially when it chews on my wife’s stuff and I can make fun of it.
Time to get a wig, I guess…
Let’s hope we don’t have to start signing again from zero!
Sounds like how the EU is usually doing this. Limit the companies, not the people directly.
How is this kind of testing relevant anymore? Isn’t it creating an unrealistic situation, given the brave new world of AI everywhere?
It has been a while since this appeared; I wonder if it picks up steam. Now or never?
I didn’t expect to learn about Enya in this discussion. Thank you, kind sir!
Not sure. I’m still surprised things are so calm, considering the widespread availability of guns in the population.
Better send that money towards their drone production.
+1 for avoiding dynamically constructed identifiers when possible. Fulltext search across multiple files is available in most tools, let it be useful. It sucks having to search for a substring, hoping you guessed the way it gets constructed. Plus, it might not even occur to you that this is what you need to try.
I like and support the idea in general, but the petition’s scope is just too broad and lacks focus. Migrating to Linux? Sure, but let’s not force a single distribution across the EU. New EU mobile OS? Nice idea, but there is no solid alternative unless a lot of time and money is spent on developing it.
Adding icons, even if they are not perfect? Hell yeah! I find it difficult scanning through text, it all seems the same. Even just crappy icons will improve my orientation because every menu becomes a recognizable map. Now if we added colors, that would make it perfect…
