I think I might

TL;DR (I only have a minute right now), does this change ANYTHING about the doll except a little note on the box she comes in?

I think smartphones definitely win when it comes to convenience, accessibility, and ease of use. Even at home I use my phone a whole dang lot for general chill purposes, even though I have bigger and better screens to use.

I can’t comment on porn because I genuinely never watch porn of any sort (yes, I’m serious), but I have watched and enjoyed YouTube and Netflix et al on my phone, even at home. I usually prefer a bigger screen but sometimes the portability wins out.

That’s true for a lot of people, but I truly believe a very significant number of people are being exposed to Linux this way and will stick with it long-term. It will be a while until we see that reflected in the desktop and laptop statistics.

I haven’t used SteamOS (or even seen many videos of it), but from what I’ve heard it’s not shy about being a desktop operating system. Even the Steam Deck, which is marketed as a console like you said, lets you use it in desktop mode and run any Linux software without having to jump through any hoops. This isn’t like Android which is technically Linux deep under the hood but effectively completely detached from the Linux ecosystem. SteamOS is part of the Linux desktop ecosystem, and it’s proud of it.

Me neither. But I also never watched porn on desktop. I watch porn exclusively on Nintendo 2DS. Isn’t that what everybody does?

I really don’t see what kind of percentage you were expecting. To me it looks almost exactly like the market share of android in the areas of the world where PH is used.

To add to what others have said, I think Steam OS is making huge waves and that’s a really strong force.

Linux Mint is exactly as easy to use as Windows, if not easier. In Windows you also needed to google every day basic functions, but I guess for you personally that was so long ago that you don’t remember. On Windows you also need to use the terminal for some things, like removing some of their bloatware (xbox bullshit, for example).

There are some specific points I kind of agree with you about, but I don’t agree with your general sentiment. Linux is easier to use than ever.

Under video game consoles, it lists 0.1% for “Other (3DS/PS Vita)”. Unless PornHub offers 3D porn that works on the 3DS (do they?!), I refuse to believe even 0.01% would use the 3DS browser in this capacity.

(On the other hand, that’s 0.1% of video game consoles, and I can’t imagine too many people use their consoles for porn in the first place… Basically I’d love to see absolute numbers for this)

What do you mean? It’s a massive mainstream operating system used by the majority of phones in the world.

Not if it’s measured with a fractional part.

I wonder if the rate is high enough and the distances large enough that relativity could make it so people on opposite ends of the world disagree on which baby was born first. Then again, birth takes a lot longer than a second and it’s not really possible to pinpoint an exact timestamp when the baby is born and wasn’t previously.

whatever Android has a healthy update life guarantee and easily unlockable bootloader.

The Fairphone is really looking sweet. I’m fairly sure my next phone will be a fairphone if it’s at all feasible for me, but I expect my current phone to last at least a few more years.

You’re right (and upvoted accordingly), but if said evil company is as much of a clusterfuck as OP said, I wouldn’t bet on them having competent security measures in place.

To which I reiterate: outside of USA that word isn’t the same. It’s just another curseword among many.

You know, that’s a great question that I don’t have a good answer to. I don’t have enough experience with laptops so take this with a bucketful of salt, but I think:

Framework looks amazing, but perhaps a bit niche: https://frame.work/ (next time I’m in the market for a laptop, I think this is what I’ll get)

MSI is alright I think? So is Dell, maybe?

In my head HP has an absolutely dreadful reputation, but that’s just because of printers. A friend of mine is pleased with her HP laptop.

Lenovo, I’m not sure. They’ve had an inexcusable security blunder in the past which made me write them off ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-enHfpHMBo4 ) but maybe they’ve turned things around, I really don’t know.

The laptop market is in a really poor state, other than macbooks (which aren’t really relevant for this discussion for obvious reasons) it’s a race to the bottom and everyone’s making compromises that I really don’t want to see.

I’m not sure. My Asus laptop is about 5-7 years old (just woke up and can’t quite do the math…). They’ve also really been screwing up on the security front: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xC8qfXxAhAw

It’s an Asus Zenbook btw if you’re wondering.

Of fucking course it’s an asus. There’s your problem right there. They don’t know what the hell they’re doing, and no one should ever buy anything this company makes.

Source: I have also been burned by them, and only afterwards did I hear a lot of other people’s horror stories. It’s a shit company.

Regarding “No Stupid Questions”, I submit for your consideration the following: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyiNW33MpAo

Yeah that wasn’t a great moment, but if you look at the context for that you’ll see that it wasn’t even talking about a black person. It was just an expletive, like saying “motherfucker” or “son of a bitch” etc.

Keep in mind that outside of USA the N word is not nearly as charged politically and racially as it is within the USA. And PDP is Swedish IIRC, not American.

Edit: my point is that his usage of that word - which AFAIK only happened once - is not indicative of his character. It’s just indicative that he was really angry at that moment and human brains for some reason use expletives in those cases.

Has nothing new has come up since 2017-2018?
