the clock app has a built in spotify integration and player.
the calculator sends diagnostic data.

file search in krunner doesn’t work without indexing (you have to at least set it to only index file names for that)
also, dolphin won’t display file metadata (like image resolution) without file content indexing

i mean unless your phone is locked to a carrier (which is pretty rare???) there’s nothing stopping you?

you can root Samsung really easily tho?
you lose some features if you decide ti go back tho

sms is essentialy just a confirmation code delivery protocol tho? (like i have around 100 “chats” with just confirmation codes in them and ZERO conversations…) and i don’t see anyone using rcs mostly because of EXTREMELY poor reputation of sms messaging…

or you can allow public authenticated access to dns over https… (just don’t expose the raw udp dns server, it’s a really bad idea)
(not sure if DoT can also support auth, but if it does that’s great because android supports dot natively)

i don’t think json is guaranteed to parse 64 ints by spec tho, unless you store them as strings

tbf Samsung has a decent-ish ecosystem as well…

there’s stuff like automatic earbud switching, dragging files between devices, “continue work on other device”, Samsung seamless codec for audio etc

yes, but most games aren’t.
there’s no reason to avoid good indie games just because they’re not foss, unless you’re a toxic fossbro or something

copyright will eventually expire after your death

and cc nc does not prevent derivatives, just profiting off of them without explicit permission, which is not that big of a deal

the author can still sell the work, the NC prevents other people from profiting off of it without explicit permission (this does not prevent exemptions, work can still be sold under cc-by-sa as an exemption)

or CC BY-NC-SA (the non-commercial-use-only one)

i mean you can just buy a Dell laptop with a copy of Ubuntu preloaded instead, they sell those as an option with most models

i mean it’s annoying but how is it disgusting?
it just shows recently opened files/software mixed in with stuff you open frequently, it’s not an ad section or anything.
but yeah i have disabled it on all my machines, because I’m not using it + disabling it adds two extra rows of pinned apps…

yeah i missed the part about the zero swap usage

idk my optical sensor works really well, it only fails if i place my finger at a weird angle, but ultrasonic’s not going to fix that either

only until restart.
to load unsigned extensions persistently, you must use nightly or developer edition and enable a hidden config flag.
