Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    Speedrun reply:

    • "megapixels" aren't always the right metric either. a super high pixel count, but noisy camera isn't great either. I think in general, neither model has a camera that is going to generate great photos, even if the pro is much better
    • I'm already invested enough in bitwarden, and not interested in migrating back to keepass. This is a prime example of "I could make it work, but also, they need to meet me where Im at, I'm not redoing my entire life for a phone"... Could probably also use waydroid for this
    • I'm already not just using Android as is, and use LineageOS on my phone. Which isn't GrapheneOS (which isn't available for my phone) but at least allows me to not need to have gmail installed on my phone, etc.

    In conclusion, I want to thank you for such a cordial and friendly conversation. I've borderline forgotten how decent people on the internet can be. I can't imagine a "debate" remaining this civil on reddit. (And if I was anything less than civil, I apologize! The broader internet has trained me for a fight or flight response for replies.)

    The camera isn't going to be as good as modern high-end smartphones, but it should be usable. But I have a separate camera for taking photos and don't know that much about mobile cameras, though.

    I’m already invested enough in bitwarden, and not interested in migrating back to keepass. This is a prime example of “I could make it work, but also, they need to meet me where Im at, I’m not redoing my entire life for a phone”

    You wouldn't be doing it for a phone, but for freedom (and with that comes better privacy and security). That should be your goal. But I understand that it's difficult.

    Could probably also use waydroid for this

    Yeah, sounds like that could work.

    I’m already not just using Android as is, and use LineageOS on my phone. Which isn’t GrapheneOS (which isn’t available for my phone) but at least allows me to not need to have gmail installed on my phone, etc.

    Nice, that sounds like a big improvement over normal Android.

    Thank you too, I don't always meet nice people either (even on Lemmy). Have a nice day!

    Edit: I checked and the instructions for installing Waydroid don't look that complicated nowadays, but this might depend on the distro:
