17.66$ per hour in 1983 is equal to 50$ per hour today which is just a fine salary?

Well… no… I have been self hosting it for several years over multiple major versions now. Only for Files, Calendar and Deck though. It was a bit hard to set up, but reading the general Apache and PHP documentation helped a lot.

Isn’t culture quite literally… patterns… of … behaviour??

What makes linux cool is that there are alternatives for literally anything. The fact that there is a constant debate going and people using all sorts of implementations just means that less of the system becomes a black box and more people are actually looking at and eventually working on the code. This keeps the system alive, and means it hasn’t ended up with some rotten filesystem like NTFS or a shitty Registry configuration system like windows.

The most popular distro on distrowatch is MX Linux which uses initV but has ability to run systemd services - but however, initV became 10x faster and more usable because of rewrites that were sparked by the systemd debate.

This is literally pure nerd rage energy being turned into amazing code, and it’s beautiful.

I just found my old Moto G1 phone (4.5 " screen) yesterday in a box - charged it and used it for a while for some utility apps and for listening to music and some old favorited podcast episodes that were still on its harddrive - and my god was it NICE to handle it and use. It is so light and thin… just wow.

Then I saw it had the last security update available from march 2016 and did not even dare to turn on the WiFi… But I might go back to use it for the utility apps, OTP, music, and maybe just as a phone (for days when I want to be offline but reachable).

Some Androids have extremely long support times, like the Fairphone. But as a general rule, yes, this is true. Unless you buy a Fairphone, or a model that is supported by Linage and root it, you’re losing software updates after just 2 years, which is insane.

Why would you run such a gimped operating system on a device in your own house? Or like… can’t you just get a phone with a normal system? Why does the ISP even have a say in this? Or do you have to pay them to use your own toilet too? Because that is equally as absurd

If you turn off history, it is very important and definitely shows in your Home feed, actually, it is the no.1 reason to turn off history
