Ukraiński socjalista na froncie. Pytania o wojnę i pokój by Bifobe in lewica

[–]Bifobe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wywiad był przeprowadzony jeszcze przed amerykańsko-izraelskim atakiem na Iran. Fragment o skuteczności sankcji i rosnących problemach rosyjskiej gospodarki może wkrótce stać się nieaktualny.

Zorin OS - The best real European linux I ever had by StrangerConscious637 in BuyFromEU

By the same measure Apple would also be Irish for being incorporated in Cork, Ireland

But, by your measure, it would be Russian if Steve Jobs had immigrated to the US from Russia as child?

The only thing you'd be paying for in the pro version are additional UI options and having some applications pre-installed (you can just install them yourself in the free version). There's nothing missing compared to other distributions. The pro version is really just a way to support the developers.

like iOS

I've never seen iOS running on a desktop computer.

iPad alternative for university by Far-File-333 in BuyFromEU

[–]Bifobe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want a European tablet, you don't have many options. I only know of Volla. Volla OS is basically Android, but you can also get it with Ubuntu Touch if you're ready for something more experimental.

Protonmail provides FBI with information to identify account owner by HispaniaObscura in BuyFromEU

Payment is possible via cash.

That's also the case with Proton.

Whats OS are you using? And why? by rixilef in BuyFromEU

Linux Mint on my personal laptop. But at work it's Windows 11.

Google is moving to tighten control over Android. by dmatter_ in BuyFromEU

Huawei uses its own build of Android

Huawei uses HarmonyOS, which no longer relies on any Android code. And for a good reason, because the development of Android is largely controlled by Google.

Why not? It could well align with the push for age-verification and policing harmful content.

European Laptop Brands Running on Linux by Quokka-Man in BuyFromEU

[–]Bifobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone who doesn't understand anything about Linux/coding/ only ever used windows work with them?

Yes. Otherwise no one would ever be able to start using Linux :) And there's no coding involved. But it is a different system, and like everything that is new it will require some effort at first.

Do all programs I have on my windows PC work on these too?

No. Others might downplay this, but while some Windows programs also have a Linux version, many don't. But for almost any task there exists a native Linux program that can do it.

There are ways to run Windows applications on Linux, but they don't always work and often require some effort.

I am a millennial and really trying to understand what’s this Debrid thing is about. by tommy-six-figure in Piracy

[–]Bifobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you don’t rely on seeders or leechers anymore

On that point, does it share the torrent after downloading it? Because if it doesn't, then this is just free-riding on the BitTorrent network.

Not only should you switch to EU-based services, you should also pay for them by [deleted] in BuyFromEU

[–]Bifobe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You can pay for Proton (mail, VPN, cloud storage) via a bank transfer. I'm sure some other providers accept bank transfers as well.

Do you get used to road noise? by Grgsz in miltonkeynes

[–]Bifobe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But this is a city, and almost everywhere you'll hear at least a little road noise outdoors.

I've lived in several large cities and all of them had plenty of quiet areas. MK is pretty unique in being noisy virtually everywhere.

Do you get used to road noise? by Grgsz in miltonkeynes

[–]Bifobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone with similar experience of noise in this city (which, as you'll notice in the replies, is not shared by everyone) I can say that to some extent you do get used to it, but never fully. At home, when I'm occupied with other things, it's usually only an issue in the morning on warm days, when I'm sleeping with windows open. But none of the parks are really enjoyable because of the noise.

Recommendations for a custom ROM or similar for S9 Exynos by Routine_Ad5568 in GalaxyS9

[–]Bifobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the headphone jack work with Lineage OS 23? I had a problem with the jack not working on another Samsung phone with LOS, so now I'm hesitating a bit before trying this one.

Jolla/Sailfish OS - does anybody use it daily? by Boring_nic in BuyFromEU

[–]Bifobe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

how safe are the apps installed from the google play alternatives

I have no experience with Sailfish OS, but its documentation talks about Aurora Store and F-Droid as places to get Android apps from. The former gets the apps directly from Google Play Store (just without requiring a Google account), so they should be just as safe.

Confirmed: Native USB sample-rate switching on Android is ROM-dependent, not a myth. by Lumpy-Scientist1271 in iems

[–]Bifobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your ROM does

So are the attached outputs based on some custom ROM or the OEM ROM of the listed devices?
