It’s right there under the header

I don’t think that was meant to be humorous.

It can alsoake fes that perform way worse than they have anything to. See yandere simulator for example

Yeah, bazzite, or any atomic distro, is not something I would recommend to someone coming from windows. It’s just too different in some ways.

Been running bazzite myself as a fairly experienced linux user and love it though.

You don’t, there’s privacy respecting ways of delivering notifications in android.

Also, a 24/7 connection to a server isn’t nearly as bad as you might think.

The connection isn’t active the whole time, it only uses any significant amount of battery if there’s actually data being sent or received. You likely already have quite a few of them anyway, how do you think systems normally listen for push notifications?

Besides all that, I read in other comments that the privacy issue was the device id firebase needs. Obviously apple also needs some kind of device id, otherwise how do they know where the notifications are going?

Did some searching, yup apple also needs a unique identifier:

When it’s time to send a notification, you generate a request that contains the notification data and a unique identifier for the user’s device.

From https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/setting-up-a-remote-notification-server

That doesn’t have anything to do with how you install the app.

And in the product details they list it has 3 features, also not mentioning what they are

They’re limited by what the original window manager allows them to do. Sway has its whole own window manager, so it can do whatever it wants.

And there’s the chance of getting my glasses smudged, because of course I’m too lazy to take those off beforehand.

What kind of hoodies are you buying? I can fit a DS in my ass pocket ffs

You could probably do it with http if the server properly supports the content range headers.

uh, no? on smartphones, yes, but not on computers.

That’s not true. Most operating systems at least have filesystem permissions, and on a lot of Linux distros you additionally get AppArmor or PolKit to further restrict what files a program can read/write.

While very useful, it’s not exactly the same as connecting straight to your WiFi. Iirc your android device will act as an additional nat and firewall, which can make it more difficult connecting to the device behind it from devices connected to the regular network, and vice versa.

Iirc that was because apple was just a generic term for fruit at the time, not any specific type.

I have never had a suspicious transaction, because the way payments work here (NL) they always need to be authorised, and recurring payments require a different authorisation that you can of course always cancel. You can’t just take money by knowing the card number and cvv (which we also don’t have (yet)).

Well to be fair, on my pixel at least, those are literally the same setting. Which it actually is just depends on if you’re currently on WiFi or not. Kinda Google’s fault for labelling it like that.

Ahh so it’s just a very unfortunate series of events, that makes more sense then.

So what would be the benefit of trying Ubuntu if mint didn’t work? As far as installing packages is concerned, they’re practically the same

Docker desktop differs more than just configuration. Iirc the whole docker command and engine desktop uses runs in some kind of container as well, making it more difficult to use from the cli if you want to.

Doesn’t mint use the same driver package as Ubuntu?
