Reached mid-thirties, I’m still having no idea what the *** is going on, the longer I live, the less everything around me makes sense (and I don’t think it’s me that changes that much…).

Watching what’s going on in the US for instance, just results me in shaking my head in disbelief, without having any idea what’s going on…

I’m very likely the minority, but the reason I still have a phone with jack is that my custom mold in-ear, well… is wired (I’m a musician).

I don’t want to use a different headphone for hearing music, as this is a really good monitor (actually I think it has cost me 10x as much as the used phone I’m driving it with (LG V30)). An external DAC is annoying, as this for one drains the battery pretty heavily and - fewer adapters less worries…

There’s other reasons why you don’t want to use bluetooth, namely latency, although probably less important, for applications where this is really relevant, you would use a dedicated audio interface anyways… Or well, just the fact that I know of a few people already that they lost their bud(s), quite a bit more difficult if everything is wired together.

Yeah I’m still stuck with my LG V30 and refuse to upgrade because the DAC + Jack is soo good.

It’s a matter of scale…

Have you thought about just wanting to preserve privacy?

Then we need to use it, there’s a high demand for hydrogen (not for electricity) for instance, so excess energy should just either be stored or converted to H.

You can see all kinds of typical AI artifacts

then it doesn’t matter that they use lots of it because it’s renewable anyway

It does, it always does. There’s for one grey energy, and more importantly this energy can’t be used somewhere else where otherwise fossil fuels were used. We should always be efficient with our energy use…

Don’t get me wrong, I’m the first promoting an Android free mobile Linux, free of big company influences.

Though, what I meant is that there’s very few mobile optimised apps on Linux, and I doubt that changes soon. The Android SDK is very matured (like Compose for UI). It’s fairly easy to create a good native app experience in Android. Less so for non-Android Linux. (I’ve developed apps for either) Think about that alone, which further complicates adoption, which TBH is just necessary to get to an ecosystem that us usable for daily usage.

I hope that changes sooner than later, but the current alternatives are just not there yet.

You wouldn’t need it on Linux mobile because…it’s not Android

But then you need apps that work on Linux (optimised for mobile/touch). You can also easily create Apps for Android without play integrity API necessity.

Realistically an Android fork makes more sense.

Though in my ideal dream world a Rust based mobile wayland compositor (etc.) will be the future of open mobile OS. I hope there’s enough (financial) interest to at some point reach that future.

Or free shipping at xx Euros, which results in me paying/buying a lot more unnecessary stuff…

I did that as a (stupid) kid. I did obviously survive. But it was one of the few sockets that wasn’t really protected with fuses, so the result was a power-outage for the whole street, and a few guys with fancy protective clothing (against high-voltage) came to fix this…

I’d still call it extrapolation, it creates new stuff, based on previous data. Is it novel (like science) and creative? Nah, but it’s new. Otherwise I couldn’t give it simple stuff and let it extend it.

How naive one could be…

I’ll make it simple, as I don’t care about losing “that argument”: Don’t feed the troll

So in other words you’re trolling and don’t care about being right or wrong…

Ok, right the details are a lot of work to “survive”. In case you’re really completely isolated from society. I agree with that. Definition of harmony is what I probably missed (I did not necessarily mean the romantic understanding of it), you’re a lot more dependent on it. I did though in fact live somewhat remote for some time (as volunteer) and did indeed thrive there, I like hard rather primitive work in nature. The exact circumstances are also important (i.e. does it rain a lot, is climate mild, is winter hard (heating etc.)). But… you actually do stuff that makes sense, as your survival depends on it. Not like having to fix zillions of bugs in an overabstracted frontend, having to deal with incompetent but arrogant and power hungry bosses and all that artificial stress we have put our lives in. Or having to read the non ending negative influx of idiocracy that Trump produces everyday.

I rather like to keep things more fundamental. And I think if you’re up for it (i.e. active/fit, craftly etc.) it can be fullfilling. Obviously it’s not as romantic as you probably imagine most of the time. But I rather like to deal with this than having to get angry about society not seeing that our probably most important problem is climate change and not migrants etc. and not caring enough about it.

So you’re extrapolating from this single case? As I say, if you know what you’re doing it’s less effort than you think, you let nature do its thing for you and just nudge it in the right direction, so you just harvest the fruits. And yet again, just because that lifestyle isn’t for you it can still be for others…

And that is relevant how? I don’t say that it’s a lifestyle for the average person, definitely not.

Not sure if you have control over it, but the ones I’ve used didn’t even smell when directly smelling over them. Not sure if there was something mixed in there too, to reduce the smell further. The owners used the resulting humus as fertilizer too.
