I actually have really fond memories of Sabayon, the community was really nice. It also served as a good gateway into Gentoo by giving you a pre-configured usable system, including its binary package manager, but also gentoo's emerge (not that you should use both at the same time).

Yep, I'm in Sweden, 30 and both know how to and do drive a manual car.

My last phone I kept for about 5 years. I had two issues:

• software support had ended
• the battery was severely degraded

fortunately there was a local shop who'd replace the battery (it wasn't a fairphone so I couldn't do it myself). If it wasn't for the software support I'd have gone that route and would be still using it now. It worked perfectly well for my use case. Unfortunately, I ended up retiring the phone and getting a new one.

I've found this too. Generally if I'm okay waiting for the answer I'll try and find the relevant lemmy community and ask that question there instead of clicking the reddit links. There are times though I simply need the answer and so of course I do click the reddit link.

Even so, if we all try and ask the questions we have here Lemmy will eventually be the place you find this information

I used it a lot, not through Google's gchat stuff, I ran my own XMPP server. It worked really well, I used the OTR encryption plugin in pidgeon. My work also used to use xmpp for internal chat within the company, however they switched to matrix like 5-6 years ago. Something I've since done personally too.

I like XMPP a lot, it worked well, including it being federated.

You can see all your rights when flying on the europa.eu website, it's a really good resource. As Jacob said though, it is 3 hours before you get compensation.

I've just used Itinerary for a few flights I needed to take and it worked really well. I love these really high quality mobile apps KDE are making!

I've used a Sony Xperia 10 III running Sailfish OS for a little over the last year. I've been a recent convert having used iOS before it. You're right that it does have some notable bugs, including the ones you have listed above. For me I don't use the camera for much so while the picture quality is really not good at all, it's fine for me. I also haven't experienced the echo issue, however I've heard people talk about it and I think Jolla officially recognize it as a bug. Excessive battery drain is another issue I have, I need to change daily more or less, it does use quite a bit more power in idle than android.

I haven't really considered switching back because the benefits of sailfish out way the problems, I think a lot of people who care about the camera for example would not make the same judgement call. I find the platform relatively problem free for what I care about. I want a linux system which I can ssh into, have the tools I expect (bash, coreutils, systemd, cron daemon, etc.) and be able to run some linux software (some KDE apps, syncthing, command line tools, etc.). This is why I wanted this phone, for a linux distro. I also required some amount of android support for 2 apps which are applicable in sweden (banking), which works great for me. I'd lastly say the gesture based UI is really nice to use and I like it a lot.

I do wish it had a better camera, I wish they'd open source the propitiatory parts, etc. but it's currently the best option for me. I think folks wanting to switch need to know what problems they'd accept and if Sailfish could be a good option for them.

Reddit is nothing without users posting and upvoting posts and comments. If all, or a large proportion of the users stopped using the site, reddit would have to listen or they'd stop being useful. I think there are two problems:

1. As you said, users don't realize the power they have. It's a bit more nuanced than that, they do realize the power of the collective, but don't think the collective will exercise that power, and thus won't act individually. It's the same as "my vote doesn't matter, it's just one vote". This is obviously a self-fulfilling prophecy because they are making it happen, they simply need to follow what they think is right.

2. A lot of users don't care. Again, a bit more nuanced than that, most users probably have a preference reddit listens to their users, keeps the 3rd party app access, etc. But they don't care enough to do anything about it, which in effect means in any practical way, they don't care. I'm guessing that to them this feels a bit of a "niche" problem and will use the official app. There are a small amount of users, like me and probably you reading this who've left reddit and won't go back.

The protests have worked. They've moved a motivated minority over to lemmy and we're creating communities, posts and comments, contributing to apps and running instances. We'll spend our time and effort improving the tools and communities for the fediverse ready. Hopefully, with enough of reddit being reddit causing more waves of people in the future to seek another platform, the fediverse will grow and reddit will dwindle. That's my hope anyway.

I don't really read news in English anymore, but when I did, I subscribed to the economist. I found most other news sites were too biased and ignored most of the world.
