If you’re sandboxing Google play services, you are, by definition, still installing play services. They are still running, but are sandboxed. So I don’t see how you see any less battery drain.

I run MicroG instead of the proprietary Google play services, and while I do see a bit ofl an increase in battery life for light usage, for medium and heavy usage it’s pretty much the same. Admittedly my battery is pretty old.

Thank you for including RSS. I’ll be adding your site to my feed :)

Bringus Studios had a video yesterday on the alpha I Dec kit for the original devkit. Not only was the segway pretty slick but it had his signature humor included which actually made me watch through half the ad. First time I didn’t skip the sponsor which I think says something about his writing and delivery

I understood that reference 👈🎓🇺🇸

Apple remote desktop? Apple doesn’t support RDP. They do have a VNC client built in however

For desktop there’s ncspot, which is a Spotify TUI client written in Rust. Not exactly what you were asking for, but it does work well

Cinnamon Desktop? Cononical? Since when was Linux Mint owned by Canonical?

It depends on how tightly integrated it is into the OS. Like right now File Explorer is very tightly integrated with the desktop. So much so that if you can get File Explorer to t crash, it’ll most likely bring the entire desktop UI down with it.

Software is like a huge house of cards. You can’t take a card from the bottom without expecting the rest of the house to stand

I don’t think they’ve have one click methods to employ “EEA” mode or something like that. I think it’s more likely to be a version of Windows compiled specifically with these limitations in mind. You’ll likely have to install a specific variant of Windows for EEA

I wonder how this will work. So many registry tweaks which forcefully removed Edge also removed the “web view” and therefore broke a lot of parts of the OS. Maybe this is just removing the shortcuts, links and edge URIs from the OS

Installed from F-Droid. I still see it here

Don’t worry, MS is planning to fix that soon I’ve heard. They’re just going to get rid of control panel and continue to dumb down Settings

Not just a text file, a markdown file. And markdown has supported images since forever

Depends on the person. Most of the people I know who use MacOS, use it as a glorified Facebook machine. Outside of perhaps Word, they only use the web browser.
