I’m not disagreeing. What I am saying is that it doesn’t correctly satirize the claims made by this community. Why are you posting it here? Go post it on a right wing message board where people are complaining about AI using the same rationale as the article.

Generally people who argue AI doesn’t think focus on its lack of creative capabilities, and overly samey writing structure.

If this is satire, it falls apart because it fails to satirize the way by which people actually critique AI.

What a fitting name for a fucking moron

Web browsers can work from day one. I used my web browser for all my mobile banking for months when a bug rendered the app unusable.

Tap payments might not work until banks make apps for it (or more likely until android compatibility layers are provided) but you’d have to be pretty petulant to suggest that this feature not having first class support from day one makes a device unusable.

Google is going the way of apple-like full control over their mobile devices while even lower end modern day phones are easily capable of surpassing the computational needs of 99 percent of daily users. The use case for mobile linux devices is growing all the while cost per unit sold decreases.

No the vast majority of people really don’t need this. The feature can be nice to have. If you don’t have it you’ll go around tapping your credit card like normal. That’s how I see most people around me make payments.

You could make the argument that not having these bells and whistles can make your platform seem less attractive and to an extent that might be true but I think you’re missing the point.

No one said Linux phones should launch and be immediately competitive with android/apple flagship products day one.

People who care enough about FOSS and privacy have ample reason to accept the trade off of not having some of these niche features.

Never used this feature. I think this sort of QOL feature is something I’d be happy to wait on. The ecosystem doesn’t need this to launch at least imo.

Running the app directly through steam/ the freedesktop launcher steam makes should work without internet access

Anything I can do through my banking app I could just as email do through the browser

How many things to you really use your phone for anyway.

Personally all I need is the basic things like a camera app, maps, authenticator, web browser, pdf reader, note taker, clock, etc.

It’s really not that much

Yea I mean it’s possible, but the sooner you bite the bullet and use a more modern language, the sooner you’ll get back to the same level of maturity and start having productivity dividends being paid out thanks to things like being able to get your compiler to prevent use after free bugs and the like.

Not sure how much sudo specifically needs this, maybe new commits are rare. As long as it stays out of LTS for the time being I’m all for it though.

Also not quite sure what you mean by “footprint”

Are you talking about the binary size or the fact that C has a tiny and straightforward language spec?
