It needs way too much space to build with github actions

The inside buildings part would be mostly solved with VoWiFi. At least anywhere with a network you'd be comfortable connecting to.

adb lolcat and adb longcat are also neat ones

> Users can continue using Messenger with their Facebook account or create a new account completely independent of Facebook

So you can't unlink your facebook and messenger, just create a new messenger account without a facebook account. That's sad.

> What the government did succeed at was changing the pronunciation of numbers from 20 to 99. It was changed from how the Germans do it (“two and forty”) to how the English do (“forty two”).

Yet almost every single person I speak with every day here outside of people from the Oslo region say it the "two and forty" way.

Though, that probably still means most people say it the "forty two" way.

When I got my Pixel 7 Pro I was shocked at how bad the battery life was, even without google play services. (came from a 5a) I love the phone, but the battery life makes me regret my purchase almost every day.

Then my coworker got the Pixel 8 Pro, and it has WAY worse battery life than my 7 Pro, he even went and got a new one at the store because it was so bad it had to be a fault, but no. It just is absolute garbage.

Quora CEO is on the board of directors at OpenAI, so that probably counts as a relationship.

That is the weird part, it happens on all my various machines. I have an RDNA2 laptop, KDE is sluggish. I have a 3900x+2080Super desktop, KDE is sluggish. (Though that's nvidia so..) Even my 5950x+7900xtx desktop, KDE is sluggish.

I really do not understand it, it's almost as if KDE just runs out of sync with my heads internal fps.

Same issues on both my nvidia desktop, my amd desktop, and my amd laptop. I definitely first suspected nvidia, since well, it's nvidia. But I wouldn't have the exact same issues on other machines without nvidia as well then..i hope

Yeah I really don't understand it. There really has to be something wrong somewhere because I can't imagine KDE actually being as bad as I experience it, because absolutely nobody would be using it if so.

To me my favourite is xfce by far, it is so simple and fast without being too simple where it becomes an inconvenience. But, I need wayland so Gnome and KDE are the only really good alternatives for now. (Yes I know there are plenty of alternatives like sway, enlightenment, etc etc but no.)

I really do wonder what I do wrong with KDE every time I try it.. I see people write stuff like this, but my experience is the complete opposite. KDE is the most sluggish horrible mess for me every time I try it, it feels like a game constantly fluctuating between 15 and 25 fps when interacting with it.

Gnome on the other hand has never missed a beat, despite having it's issues needing solved with extensions. Performance wise it's always been 10/10, even on my 3x4k setup.

Wish I didn't need wayland, because I really just want to go back to xfce..

I mean, no more than getting things from apkmirror/apkpure? This is just an easier way of doing it.

Personally I mostly just use it with github, and checking the integrity of those apks is easy enough.

Have you looked at Obtainium? https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium It can use apkmirror and apkpure as sources. Along with lots of others.
