Not off the top of my head but I distinctly remember that the Pixel A phone scored higher than the flagship Pixel model.

I would need to look the video up but I’m also between appointments, so I can comment for a bit but not do research.

Not off the top of my head, sorry.

The biggest downside of Fairphone IMO is that they don’t maintain their hardware support in LineageOS and for the retail product then branch development off, add a bit of custom branding and adapt whatever Google requires these days. It would greatly improve custom ROM support in general.

Sometimes last year Marquez Brownlee (I think it was him, I don’t think it was Dave2D) was conducting a blind test among his audience which Photos they thought looked best. Some top brands were jumping up and down from one test scenario to another but the Fairphone ended up in the midfield constantly. True, that’s not a glowing recommendation of the camera but at least an insurance that one doesn’t get utter trash either.

I wasn’t making a comment regarding forcing, I was sharing an anecdote how Microsoft themselves are offering free workarounds for features they want to get paid for.

So by default I can’t use it even if I want to use it.

You can use the feature for free by using Microsoft’s Copilot chat bot, making the subscription requirement even more stupid.

Instead of connecting the lines in the background it seemed to just take an average of the pixel colors of the edge of what I erased and fill it in with that average color. Such intelligence!

Paint has two AI models depending on your hardware, whether you have a “Copilot Plus” PC or not.

So torrenting movies would be legal then. Great.

New update coming for that soon!

I’m fully aware of the feature that has been promised for years and is supposed to land in 5.3. I’m still using Krita, just not solely.

Krita is my graphics app of choice these days.

So much of Krita is great and then there is the text tool which is still a heap of trash.

Step 1: Don’t remove / completely change extension APIs every couple of years

The “backdoor” mentioned in a single reply is very different from the telemetry issue. https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/pull/927 was fixed a year ago.

I agree the telemetry should be either disabled or at the very least users should just get a config tab on first launch to opt out but the Lemmy submission is misleading and bordering on fake news.

it’s not like most people are chronically browsing the web on their phones.

Yes, they do.

i mean yeah, but even then those aren’t significant filters, and what makes you think that tiktok isn’t running a render farm somewhere in china to collect shit tons of data?

Pretty sure my Adobe Premiere comparison made it clear I wasn’t talking about the TikTok app itself but 3rd party apps to later upload to online services like TikTok.

Just because you are completely inapt to think of use cases, doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

This seems like a reasonable thing to require of services that aren’t dependent on each other for basic functionality.

They don’t. All Meta/Facebook services can be decoupled since the EU enforces the DMA gatekeeper status. Meta just needs to add Turkey to the same decoupling whitelist as the EU countries, and the issue is immediately solved.

People use phone apps for photo and video editing these days. The common TikTok kid out there doesn’t use Adobe Premiere on a desktop workstation.

Phone apps often are desktop applications with a specialized GUI these days.

To be fair, at the price point of Macs, 16GB is easily achievable.

They’re not good at it then if you at the debacle around Xbox.

It’s just an Edge web view. You can get the same results by just navigating to its web site. Doesn’t need to slow down boot time every time for that.
