@joey Yeah, in my case I didn't even have to be rude, I just kept using my old Windows Phone and at some point WhatsApp went EOL there and I said: "Sorry guys, I'm not getting a new phone just to be in a chat room",— in the end people figure out a way to reach you through other means, in every company there is someone who can use Matrix or e-mail or the one with whom you stay in touch and who can make a phone call. It also reduces the amount of "white noise" small talk drastically 😅 @sun@newt
@icedquinn@dcc@sun Can't tell, never had it. Might depend on your use cases. Besides, I expect it to be a day night difference in terms of usability when you use the Android it came with compared to when you put e.g. Ubuntu Touch on it — which I would probably do, or rather PostmarketOS even, don't see the point in having another Android device — but you might have other things in mind of course.
@icedquinn@dcc@sun It's not even about the political statement, there are reasons to stay away from Russian tech even if it's manufactures in Taiwan. Just as Americans are often… alarmed about electronic equipment that offers security/privacy made in US — just a few days ago I was accused of being on "CIA instance"🤣(But why would a Russian person care about CIA?)
@icedquinn@dcc@sun Is this company Russian? The facts that their website has only Russian and English languages, they suggest using Russian online stores and some key people have Russian names look *kinda* suspicious to me 🤨
@kaia@mangeurdenuage Suggestion to fight like a lion to change the uni course incoming! Or is it changing the uni? Moving to another country? 🤭 Anything goes in matters of war and not getting a laptop with Windows!
@kaia Miles Davis — Bitches Brew Check it out — it's complex enough if you enjoy classical music, even more so. Then… one day you will find yourself enjoying hip-hop like I did. Give it a try — really widens the horizons 😅
@lain@kaia > Maybe it’s different things altogether. I believe they are! It's not ungrounded, but IT people ≠ autistic people 😂 Among the former there are lots of those who are self-diagnosed to be the latter and at the same time, probably due to higher salaries — there are lots of those who cosplay they do not belong to the latter. It's really skewed 🤪
@sally@creamqueen@Suiseiseki@nyanide@adachi@jihadjimmy@meso > different libc LibC? 😲 Why bother relying on operating systems, game developers should make their stuff run on bare metal to utilise the hardware I have to its full potential — and they should definitely support this ARM SBC I got 15 years ago from a Chinese vendor, which has since then ceased to exist. But support for it is mandatory — we aren't even discussing it, otherwise I refuse to pay for their products! 😤
@sally Okay, I see… So there is no need to explain you anything. You're wanted for multiple offenses of shitposting over the last week. We're coming for you, remain where you are!
NoneJust in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
