@alyaza Just wen’t back to work after my extended vacation. Everything is going just fine out there 🥲

Had a friend telling me the same, lol. FWIW, I got into Metro after watching the series of The Linux Gaming Experiment, where Nick played Metro Exodus - so I kinda enjoy Exodus more, lol.

Started playing War Robots again. There’s an event with a few perks, so I even got premium for 5 days for free.

Gotta finish Metro Exodus at some point tho.

Looking forward to getting a new phone with Sailfish OS. Seems to be the most advanced, open OS as of now.

I can’t deny there were some cases where the authorities have exaggerated. Especially recently. But you know where these people are actually coming from.

You maybe know that it’s not these cases they’re referring to when they talk about the lack of free speech.

Ah, of course it’s about the serious violations on free speech in *checks notes* the brutal dictatorships of Britain and Germany. The dictatorship of common sense dictating you how not to be an asshole.

That’s so terrible!

Well, my salary just went in, so I started paying my bills. Just now, I renewed my monthly public transit pass, and I am pretty much debt free - until next month, that is.

Lately, I’ve been in a bunch of electric cars, including the Tesla (which was a Bolt or an Uber). I must say, I was impressed. Beyond the main purpose of saving the environment, there are plenty of other perks that they have:

• You can barely feel and hear it. On an ICE car, you always hear the engine running and feeling the vibration of it. Even if it’s largely unnoticeable, it’s basically still there. And whenever you rev the engine, it’s getting even more noticeable. On an electric car, there’s no such thing as engine noise. It’s basically either working or not working. And when it’s working, there are fewer moving parts making this noise and shaking the car around.
• They always come with an automatic transmission, so they’re easier to drive. I know that might not be an advantage out there in the US, since you also have ICE cars with automatic transmission, but here in the rest of the world it does make a difference, since almost all cars are manual.
• A way better acceleration. I know some of the cars I’ve been in were basically sport cars, but I never felt like being stuck to the seat in a car before.

I honestly don’t even know why would anyone oppose the switch, tbh. Okay, I know it takes more to fill it up than just sticking the pump in and pressing the handle, but the capacities that modern batteries have, make it feasible to just time your trips in a way that you can even charge them at home overnight or something.

Very beautiful. Glad you enjoyed it! 😁

Foreigners seem to love it way more than us at times, haha. Thank you as well! Which places did you visit? Out of curiosity 😁

*sigh* another photographer that I’ll follow /s

Real talk now, your content is just fantastic! I love your photos. Get well soon and hello from Romania! :)

I’m looking forward for a Sailfish OS device tbh

@alyaza I always wondered whether the betting industry could be used to influence elections once it becomes more popular…

@Kroko Thanks!

I’m surprised the 3.5mm and repairability didn’t make it to the top place. Looks like Apple has won once again in imposing their will in the phone market.

On a side note, how is Sailfish OS on the community version (or anyway, the one version that allows you to download Google Play apps)? Is it usable in the day-to-day life?

Then don’t worry about it

@Panda1606 worst they can do is remove the license from you. Use it as you please and while you can.

Edit: did you also have to input your card details? If yes, check if you haven’t been billed already.

@9488fcea02a9 bummer. I was hoping one had an implementation like this.

@9488fcea02a9 hmm, didn’t lawnchair also have an app drawer and a dock? Or other similar launchers like Microsoft, action, hyperion etc.? There are plenty more AOSP based launchers in the Play Store.
