Yes, but that got reversed completely and now Sam Altman is still in charge and the company is prioritizing profits

I know, but a car’s efficiency is dependent on more factors than speed and friction alone

Mostly because that would be a shorter route then, cars have gears and are more efficient under a higher load so a higher speed, usually around 100kph is most efficient

wouldn’t call them up to date

they are a little newer

Huh

Yeah basically grub but on a USB stick and with ISO files

By the fact that they require an account to contact them, I’m going to assume they keep your data unless explicitly asked to delete it

Yeah… That can be difficult to tell on the internet…

You can’t see space, you see the stars behind that space and those stars, turn out to be pretty bright

Stainless steel nozzles work well enough and aren’t that expensive

I get the sentiment, but now they’re doing a whole lot of extra work only to be a version behind

For what its worth, my Sony Xperia 1 VI didn’t come with a lot of google apps and it was easy enough to get rid of those. Obviously play services and some other stuff remain, so it’s not a degoogled phone, but it’s alright. Sony asks for some analytics stuff, but that’s all very easy to deny.

Sony also makes it very easy to root, unlock and flash your phone, with an official guide on how to do that. It’s not as easy as installing graphene OS, but I’m sure somebody will built lineage or something for it at some point

Edit: Here are links to the official documentation, Sony makes it pretty easy to built and flash AOSP

Not on mine :(

I learned this the hard way when I lost all my fan profiles

That’s 74 degrees Celsius for the rest of the world

Same in case of the audio chipset, the popping is so annoying

I suppose it all comes down to money, Blender is an exception rather than the rule. They get a lot of donations from big companies, so they can afford to have a lot of people working on the project full-time. Most projects don’t have that luxury, so they get stuck like you said.

To be honest, I don’t know if there is a way to solve this, if there is it certainly isn’t easy

I don’t really share this experience to be honest, granted I copy my files to my pc manually anyways (I didn’t even know that your method was possible), but darktable has a feature pretty similar to that. “Copy & Import”, I don’t think it pops up automatically when you insert a card, but you can change the folder and the naming and such as you like. You can even ignore non-raw files, an option which I haven’t found in lightroom. So I’m not sure what’s so bizarre about the import tools in darktable, seems pretty similar to lightroom to me.

Customization is great but when it just needlessly adds steps to the equation and disrupts what should be a butter smooth workflow, I jump ship. There’s so many things on LR I’ve been able to intuitively figure out while their Darktable equivalent require viewing tutorial after tutorial.

That I kinda do agree with, some things in darktable are definitely more complicated than they should be, I don’t really want to watch a 40 minute tutorial on how to recover shadows from an image and there are also sliders and buttons which seemingly shouldn’t be used. So yeah darktable is less intuitive in that respect, although it works great ones you know what to do (And tbh it’s not that difficult, most tutorials are just excessively long)

I don’t think pretty much anybody actually cares about their OS, they’ll just use whatever is installed on their computer and install their favourite applications.

There’s 2 things that need to be solved here:

1. Having Linux installed on their computer.

To solve this we’d need mostly laptop manufacturers to install Linux by default, this is in no way happening soon, but might happen when point 2 is satisfied.

2. Having peoples favourite applications available.

There’s 2 ways to solve this, A. Somehow get companies like Adobe on board with Linux and develop for it. B. Make open source applications actually good. We need people to want to use open source applications, before they even switch to Linux. That means the applications need to rival, or even surpass their closed source counterparts. Most of the Foss creative/professional applications simply don’t do that yet.

Solving these issues is not an easy task and will take a long long time, but most people simply will not want to switch to Linux and have to relearn every application at the same time, so I believe it is necessary

Got an example? I like darktable, although figuring out which modules to use is definitely a bit of a learning curve

Wait, Renault doesn’t ship anything outside the EU?
