I choose this manufacturer because it promises 5 years of software updates, much longer than others, and I like it’s operating system features more.

Coming coon to PCs near you.

Wonderful world of proprietary software is always leading innovation and adaptation or new technologies.

Then why do they tell everyone about it?

Seems like a way to pump the price up just by press and not actually wanting to anything.

Non-copyleft licence for an OS… 🤢

There is no success to have here. You get rid of 5 big tech things, but left 2, that won’t mean you failed :P.
It’s not something to be avoided at all costs, just something unhealthy to freedom of one and society.

One of the reasons might me that we still do not have any standard baked micropayment system for the Internet.

Great way my professor explained to me with:

Internet is a network of computers, to send data to each other.
Web is a network of documents, the revolutionary concept about it was the fact it can be on your computer or others computers and still be connected via URLs.

If they ask for help to setup their phones someone more technical, so I do not see a problem.

How do you define sideloading then? Also preinstalled Play Store and Google services is the exact reason why they are asked for an email address, something I wish should not be by default.

But okey, just preinstalled store would not be a problem for me as long as everything is available to remove, even with a warn sigh. I don’t want to evangelise here, but on Linux installs it’s awesome how not only browser and store is preinstalled, but also useful stuff like file sharing client, FTP client, office suite, email client… depends on the distro, but it makes it easy to ask “hey, can you share it to me?” or do something without asking to install anything new, while all can be removed with no marks left.

Do it the Linux way and remove the fan yourself.

Just kidding. Or am I?

smileyhead , 5 months ago to asklemmy in Is there an app that could send me a notification every 30 minutes?

My comment won’t be anything helpful, there are some propositions already.
I just want to give my thought and maybe rant a little, because my Linux nerd mind is screaming to me how this could be done on Linux:

In crontab:

<span style="color:#323232;">*/30 7-16 * * 1-5 notify-send "Text"
</span>

Sending a notification every 30 minutes from monday to sunday from 7am to 4pm with one line of code not needing to create new app.

Not on all. Chromebooks are closer to a smartphone, meaning not all drivers are available for Linux.

It was mostly made for simple scripts to embed on a website for animations and handling updates without refreshing whole page. Not to make a full portable client (browser) side app.
Hating JavaScript is mostly a meme, it’s just a programming language. But its very loose syntax, fact it’s often someone’s first programming language to learn and how most programs written in it nowadays are a hack build on top of a hack on top a hack makes this language easy to laugh at.
