> smartphone pairing enables automatic time correction

I like how they're advertising this shitty feature that's much more cumbersome than what their watches have now, namely https://gshock.casio.com/europe/technology/radio/

More like, automatic time correction is the best reason we found for mandating smartphone pairing and we hope you won't remember there's a better solution.

Also, 35 days that the battery lasts is 1/10 of a year, compared to 10 years that radio-synced watches have, so two orders of magnitude less. Fuck off with smartphone pairing, Casio.

edit: 35 hours, lol, so more like three orders of magnitude less.

Except today games all work and invariably markedly better on Linux. Even the games that stopped working on Windows for me work great, like https://www.protondb.com/app/2008510

I gave up, bought a kobo libra2 that never saw an internet connection (you can find updated firmware online to download) and now just borrow epubs in the soulseek library.

Luckily, they well enshittified it prior to this move, so my account is already deleted. I wish Discord a swift irrelevance.

I don't want to download the code or models for those features in the first place, Mozilla.

You can on Android, using this: https://f-droid.org/it/packages/com.celzero.bravedns/ (it's also on Google's store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.celzero.br... )

Set it as a local proxy to channel all network access through it and you can selectively block any app from accessing any network, or isolate it.

I can tell, because I now use forks of Firefox decrapified by nerds in their basements.

That's just false. Example, here's a shitty tabloid in Croatia:

> Vibe coding didn't make me a 10x engineer. But it gave me permission to build again. Ideas I've had for years suddenly feel achievable. That's honestly the bigger win for me.

Did fucking AI also write your article?

CachyOS, it's basically a nice installer to jump into rolling arch. (I made sure it's a Ryzen thinkpad, might be relevant)

I feel like people who say this haven't seen KDE in a very long time. On a thinkpad it not only "just works", it works flawlessly, never demands attention without justification (i.e. no ads or superfluous items in notifications), every bit of hardware works, all the special keys, fingerprint reader and it's all recognized and usable and configurable from KDE.

I'd download epubs of everything from Anna's Archive and/or soulseek (Nicotine+ is nice) and kindly tell them to fuck off with their account.

I only tolerate the piece of shit phone because of F-Droid. Most of google's apps are banned from connecting to the network (like their fucking keyboard, I don't need or want any internet-requiring options) via Rethink VPN through which all network traffic is routed.

If this goes through, I'm taking my sim card out and putting it into the cheapest dumbphone I can find, using the smartphone strictly offline for OSMAnd navigation and media, uploaded over USB cable.
