I have a roughly 26 years old pentium III laptop still in working order. Those 256MB of memory are still going strong.

Splendid! but we’re facing a several years long DRAM shortage, just so you know.

My first “own” smartphone and not second hand from family members was a samsung galaxy s7 I bought in 2016, I kept using it until the battery nearly died (took a whooping… 15 minutes to go from 100% to 0%) in 2022 and I couldn’t simply change it due to the glass back being broken, the screen had severe burn-ins and the OS was no longer maintained so I ended up switching.

That first phone that lasted only 6 years was a valuable lesson, it shaped my wishlist for a “perfect” phone, which ironicaly enough was another samsung one, but xcover rather than S. Hoping that this one with no glass back, an amovible battery, no oled screen and that went from android 12 to 16 (and still going) will last longer.

I wish my old S7 could have any use beside paperweigh but I couldn’t find any sadly.

This used to be a thing, my first ever ubuntu install was made through such a tool (damn I might be getting old), a .exe that I ran on my windows 7 and that rebooted to a live ubuntu environnement.

Historically speaking, from what I’m reading is that gnome devs have a history of bad decisions birthing forks here and there “fine, I’ll do my own gnome, with blackjack and hookers” too, so I don’t know how much weigh such a decision can have to be perfectly honnest.

Damn, the amount of comments that didn’t even read the full… title… Is reading comprehension getting this bad? Middle clic paste isn’t getting removed, just being opt-in rather than opt-out, yet a bunch of commenters are up in arms “time to ditch firefox”…

Because, I consider profile pictures to be a way to be more visually appaling, and a way to be recognizable more easily (thing that I do not want).

Why do you have a profile picture?
