Generally I’d agree, but in this case they have excess staffing because they merged projects.
Often this is in middle management.

That’s my strategy too, and after decades in IT I have the experience to prove it.
Yes, there are positive reasons for updates, but I’ve rarely seen unaltered systems break, never hacked (because security is a layered thing). I’ve seen many, many, systems taken down by updates, even after extensive lab testing. Nothing like being on an outage call for 17 hours because an update screwed the pooch on 5,000 machines.
Also, move that phone to Lineage, you won’t regret it. Better battery life out of the gate. Hell, buy another 4a or 5, install Lineage, setup her stuff on it, and simply swap it out.
Yep, many false positives while only blocking 1.5% of all malicious apps, plus installing Play Protect on phones to “block malware” from the Play Store.
It’s like someone wrote a comedy based on the worst way to prevent malicious app installs.
Which begs the question, what’s the real purpose of Play Protect? Protect your FROM Play Store installations? 😁
(Yea, that 1.5% is a totally made up number, it’s as real as Google’s malware prevention and the protection provided by Play Protect).
Massgrave also has links to installation media, notably the LTSC versions. The IoT LTSC is especially nice since it lacks lots of the bloat.
Disconnect the network to force it to do local account creation.
Wow, this is awesome!
I don’t want much in a smart watch, really just notifications and some nominal ability to interact with them (snooze/dismiss reminders, pause/skip what’s playing, etc).
An ePaper screen fits my use-case just fine. Easily readable in most situations, and crazy low power draw.
“Ignorant” is a more generous term. They clearly haven’t had a even a basic earth sciences or physics class.
Skydivers are only falling for about 5 minutes so the rotation underneath them is negligible.
Plus, like planes, they’re flying - so aiming for a target (while their lift is far less than aircraft, they do have some, and can orient and direct themselves).
They’re also in the atmosphere, which is rotating with the earth (part of why there are winds).

Hahahaha, I’ll be borrowing that, thank you
Great point.
This could be added as a warning.
Eventually, if you don’t stop at a red light, something’s gonna happen and it’s probably not good.
Oh, wow, I didn’t realize masgravel license 365 too.
Exactly.
Just like any art, once you put it out there it’s not up to you how people use it.
Your question isn’t clear.
Just because the results they find are gov sites people don’t do it? I don’t follow. Seems like gov would be a good source?
(Well, not really, I’m sure they leave out some crucial details).
My experience is the opposite - FOSS is often obtuse, with an assumption that you see things the same was as the dev, which is usually a single person or at most a very small group. Add to that, documentation is nominal, or non-existent, and quite often lacking even a high-level description of what an app does, let alone where to find features in an app. FOSS devs often don’t even follow menu layout that’s been pretty well established at this point. For example, I’ve found the Settings menu under File, Help, Tools, View, etc, in different apps.
Proprietary apps are usually developed by a team, one that’s studied the market segment (or another group has), and usually understands how that segment operates. They then develop the app based on design goals established by a team other than the developers, with UAT (user acceptance testing) performed at given stages (this is even more frequent today with Agile project management). It’s not uncommon for a UI to be mocked up and given to end users to validate UI design/layout choices long before anything is even developed.
These devs usually follow a company standard process, with code reviews by other people. Their changes must be approved by management, and those changes are often requested and reviewed by other teams before being submitted to the dev team.
Most FOSS simply doesn’t have the time or staffing to do what most proprietary software dev does.
And I use both proprietary and FOSS all day long.
A used flagship is a great phone (except for the glass nonsense, give me all plastic please). It’s all I buy, 2 or 3 year old flagship for 1/4 the price of new.
I just upgraded from a 2017 flagship to a Pixel 5, for $120!
I haven’t had a charging concern for Bluetooth for probably 10 years.
Today, my ear buds have a case. If I use them for music for 8 hours, they tell me they need charging. That’s how much they’ve improved.
The charging case rarely needs charging, and it supports wireless, so I just set it on the charging base.
A “must”, only for a subset of users.
If it were truly a “must”, more people would be complaining.
I get it, you find Bluetooth unappealing for reasons, just like I find larger phones unappealing. Unfortunately, we’re a minority, neither of these are a “must” for most people.
Haha, nice.
I was going to downvote such a nonsensical idea (social app with you no people!) but clicked on the link out of curiosity.
So a note taking app. OK. Local storage only - hey, good on the dev. Ability to export and import, OK, now you’re really making sense! More apps need to follow this approach.
Would’ve been a killer app 10 years ago (and I’m not being critical, I still think it’s a great idea for some use-cases).
Serious question - is it really that hard to just have a spreadsheet?
I can’t imagine having so many subscriptions that a pretty simple spreadsheet couldn’t handle it.
