The law is not good or bad, it’s just the law
The law is not good or bad, it’s just the law
I had a Nexus 6 and miss it all the time for watching videos. It was a 6" AMOLED screen with front facing speakers and wasn’t this long aspect ratio thing that they do now. I wish it had a micro SD card but even then it would eventually just be too old.
Sorry, I’m not saying you were. I was trying to share a concern not an implication.
It doesn’t have to be one or the other, I’m simply worried by the way corporations invade public discourse to keep people from holding them accountable through group action. There can easily be group boycotts that do the same thing and I’m all for that, I just don’t care for the personal responsibility argument.
It doesn’t look like it has front facing speakers, it looks like it has that earpiece+bottom facing bs that is popular now.
I doubt many people on Lemmy are the ones defending corporations from being impacted by social justice beyond boycotting. The rhetoric you use is just really similar to that of corporations where they encourage individual responsibility instead of taking meaningful action.
I get where you’re going but you can’t always just boycott a company. For instance I despise Walmart but if it’s the only place you have to buy food you don’t exactly have options. Some of the most hated corporations are the most stable because people don’t just free market capitalism their way out of ecological disaster.
I wish I could find something specific to my needs still. Headphone jacks, front facing speakers, mSD cards, and hole-less screens are hard to come by now.
Unless you had kids then your decisions can still be having that impact. But it’s a silly way to look at things when corporations do most of it and they’re not going to just get old and die.
I initially said it was based off linux not kinda linux and we’re here. I’m saying it’s kinda linux because Android is never referred to as a linux phone but an Android phone.
I’m not saying you’re wrong, you’re totally right. I’m saying that you don’t understand colloquialisms. The type of person who would hear someone refer to salt intake in food as “sodium” and go on a tirade about how it’s sodium chloride and ignore that they fully understood what was meant but chooses to be as difficult as possible because they want to be right. Generally the type of stuff that would get people shoved in lockers.
You do realize that kinda linux right? You’re right it’s closer to a boston accent but if you generally ask people about the american accent it’s not going to be boston they think of. I’m not denying it is based on the linux kernel because it is but Android is the most popular OS in the world, it can be it’s own label as opposed to saying it’s linux. To nit-pick further is some real “It’s not linux, it’s GNU/Linux” energy.
No, it’s kinda linux.
Android is a mobile operating system (32-bit and 64-bit) based on a modified version of the Linux kernel and other open-source software, designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.
It’s based off of linux but not literally linux and why if you call it a linux distro you’ll be questioned. Just like English is based on French but if you start telling people you speak French because of it you’ll have confusion.
Android is kinda linux, I think most people would find it weird to call it a linux distro. OP also isn’t looking for an android phone when they say a linux phone. For a linux phone there is a lot of build-it-yourself and people generally don’t want to flash their device to install it, especially people who only use a phone as their computer.
I’m not saying it is CLI, I’m saying that I don’t want CLI on my phone. Android for instance is based on linux and isn’t a CLI for the most part.
Again, why I say it’s like asking someone to build it themselves when people who only use phones and not desktops/laptops don’t typically want to build it themselves.
For all the people using phones as their computer I doubt there would be many who want to use linux. It’s a bit like someone asking for recommendations for a moped and you tell them to build it themselves.
I’m all for wanting linux on phones and supporting that but I have never ever known someone to be interested in linux and only use a phone/tablet. I can’t imagine working a CLI with a phone keyboard.
This has always been my opinion on distros as I don’t really like to switch distros and prefer to use one that just works. I used to be more into Redhat and that’s kinda soured for me.
Can I ask why you say that?
(I realize that’s ironic considering the theme of this thread, I just enjoy learning from people who have passion for something)
This reads like someone explaining how to cook a pizza with a propane torch. I love it.
Unless it’s good to break the law.
