A fitting description for Arrakis

Fairphone 5 is running stock Android. Google has really fucked the Android OS

I'm reading all six Dune books at once and I'm hella confused

I think you'd be surprised how close it would actually be, seeing how German spelling is almost spot on to the written word. Like here for example. I took the liberty to steal your post

Bii tö tseints juu vant to sii in tis völd." Du juu häv ä feivörit kvout?

"Be the change you want to see in this world" Do you have a favorite quote?

Good job on "quote" that's creative spelling. In "Vörld" the o in this case is actually an ö when looking at it with a German pronunciation. Now, this is my attempt at that sentence:

"Bie dä tschänsch ju want to sie in dis wörld" Du ju hef ä fevorit quote?

I have not seen this kind of language, so I assume it's a new trend for English speaker. In the DACH region, writing like you speak your accent is a pretty common thing outside the major towns. I'll leave you with a pretty complex example where the writer tried to show the pronunciation by using different circumflex to show how different letters are pronounced. https://pasteboard.co/rMJcvSHAFx6g.jpg It's pretty extreme, but if you are fluent in any German alpine dialect you will have little problem reading it.

I tried two weeks ago. Netflix and Disney+ resort to 720p. Amazon Prime was worse. The sound was soo bad. edit: grammar

I'm worried too but I doubt countries who voted against it will just lie down and turn over. I'm sure local courts will fight this on the grounds of national privacy laws. And just because the EU wishes this to be a thing doesn't mean it's happening too. The technological groundwork needs to be developed for this and I can imagine that some service will drag their feet at implementing that. At least that's my unicorn utopia with rainbows I currently live in to bear this reality 🫠

I agree with you. I'm a fairly new Linux User and I start to run into these issues too. I think Linux just lends itself to projects that require you to google. It's the endless fallacy of "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should"
However if we apply the average user use case: (A laptop to do light surfing, consuming media, and writing Emails) Linux can run (mostly) perfectly fine. (If you choose a reasonable Distro, not Arch). Personally I run Fedora with Gnome.(Realistically Ubuntu is a better choice for average users) Most major apps work via flatpacks and update centrally from the app store. They work out of the box. Firefox, Thunderbird, Only Office, Spotify what more does a Luser need?
Now granted one thing that does not work is legal streaming. No DRM Protection means no HD, High bit rate streaming. So you need to fall back to sailing the high seas. Power management works out of the box for example under Fedora. Never charges over 80% notifies me at 20% Sure having a better looking login screen, would be nice, but do I really care? Sure emulating a 20 year old Windows game would be cool but I can't expect to run that as is on Linux. Sure a better weather app in the notification bar would be great but I know that my local weather is never accurate anyway.

I'd say for most Luser cases Linux will work out, just don't make the mistake of thinking it's a proper workstation.

So confused as a german speaker xD Those Ös and Äs just don't make sense this way 😂

Had a similar experience when roadtripping over there. Each town had a big share of local beers who were all great. Especially if you can enjoy a good IPA. Local American beers definitely are on the same level as European ones.
Just don't buy Bud light and similar you get at a Walmart.

A copypasta is born!

I'm running Stock Android 13 Fairphone 5. So if it's not available for you it's most likely taken away by your vendor. I remember my Sony XZ2 with Android 10 already having that feature 🤔

That's not right. As long as they are excluded from DnD with their phone number, Android will let them through. It even says so in the settings (feddit.de still has image upload issues but the info states that "Even if messaging and calling apps can't reach you, people that you choose here can still reach you through those apps")
