Yeah, I don't get it.

If you could install linux, however, then I would buy one yesterday.

If you think a vertical scroll slop tablet is the same as a portable game console, then why not just get them the console instead?

Surprising there's only one comment mentioning tab unloading. I'm the kind of person who has hundreds of tabs opened (422 right now), and this tool is useless for me because at any time only ~20 of them are loaded. And I'm not going to visit a tab to see how overgrown it is, something like this would work better if it worked on tab items in the tab bar instead of the contents of the tabs themselves.

But some humans are more matter than the others.

Could you let your mom know she's the reason phones suck? Thanks.

Cool. Where can I buy one.

I use AHK to bind XB2 (the top side mouse button) + scroll to scroll fast, I agree that it is very useful. I got inspired by VS Code using alt+scroll for fast scroll and wanted that everywhere.

An APK is an installer, not a binary. You have to be an "app" to do anything in Android. Which includes writing to the framebuffer. I don't know enough about Android so I'd love to be proven wrong. Give me an `xclock` equivalent that I can just run.

I know it is entirely possible for Google to uniquely identify me for each account, but I choose to believe they don't go out of their way to use EVERY possible information about you to track you and only use things that you "accept" via their EULAs, like syncing contacts or logging in to the same service with both accounts, etc.

>but this will never be mainstream and this was implied in the question of the post (Will Linux phones become a viable alternative to the Android/iOS duopoly?)

The post goes into detail about the reason for the current duopoly is the difficulty in procuring modern SOCs with linux support, nothing to do with how said phones will be used.

And I don't really care about being able to bank on my phone, I would gladly buy a cheap android device for it if they stop you from being able to bank on desktop devices, I just need linux on phones because of how much android sucks for daily use and how annoying it is to do anything on it. If we do get the ability to run android on modern hardware, it stops being necessary to have a separate desktop/laptop as well, I could just use a dock, or just a keyboard and mouse instead, especially since the Macbook Neo has shown current mobile hardware is more than enough for "casual" desktop use.

I don't think you understand the reason people want mobile linux. I want to be able to run arbitrary binaries and get access to graphics primitives on my phone, AOSP does none of this. I honestly don't even get the point of AOSP, the way you don't for mobile linux.

I used to do this, but an increasing number of apps fail to work without play services. Luckily Google still lets you create accounts on android phones, so you can create a fresh account with a random name for every phone, and take care you don't give it access to something identifiable.

I love Q Hayashida! I should catch up to Dai Dark.

At home, Atlas Shrugged. It's an interesting story even if you don't care about the allegories, I'm really enjoying it so far. But it will probably take me half a year to finish it at this rate, since I can only read it on weekends.

At work I'm currently trying to read SF light novels from the turn of the millennium. I finished Murasaki no Qualia some time ago, and it's just as amazing as I remember the manga being when I read it as a teen. Right now I'm reading Iriya no Sora, UFO no Natsu. Sadly very few of these are translated. The Last and First Idol story collection is also a good read if you're interested in this genre.
