Used a Z1 for +7 years so fell in love with Sony phones and made me got a 1ii (I’d think naming them as 1.0, 1.1… could be a much better convention that this stupidity) when it finally had to say goodbye.
Those four ‘cons’ points are exactly the same points people complained about them 4 years ago.
They’re absolutely great, I’d feel miserable with another phone brand - but It’s unbelievable they have done absolutely nothing in this time to assess those points.
I’d wish I was filthy rich to get one.
Because compiz. No, seriously.
I got to know Linux back in 2006 in a hackathon-type-of-thing at uni and they gave me a Ubuntu 5.10 CD and my jaw dropped with the cube animation thing.
Ended wiping my hard drive trying to install it, finally could install it, tried XFCE for a time, went back to GNOME, was tired of Ubuntu and tried Gentoo and somehow could install it, with the GNOME3 drama moved to KDE, considered FreeBSD for a moment just to realize pkg/pkgsrc is absolute shit compared to Portage.
Oh and it seems KDE went back with the cube for Plasma 6! Alas it’s still masked in Gentoo and who knows when it would be ready, but it’s a bit great I’m not the only one for that cube nostalgia.
No need for the atheist/anti-theist words to say that social media is cultivating indifference and hatred.
Thirded one on the xperia line. Previous to this 1ii that it’s being with me for 3 years and a half, I had a Z1 that lasted 7 years with me until fell off my hands and the screen cracked.
That being said, their software support is shit and I ended rooting them and using LineageOS (I even had a MIUI ROM with the Z1 at one point) so that’s something you have to have in mind. LineageOS on the 1ii is good, better battery life than stock but I lost screen mirroring.
I got the 1ii. It’s still rock solid (maybe the battery life is a bit hurt, but everything else is going flawless) but yes, the 2 year software support is simply ridiculous.
I ended installing LineageOS - can’t say it’s better to keep going with Android 11 or going custom ROM for every case, but I don’t regret it.
That ‘it’s still rock solid’ is the main reason my previous phone was a Sony (Z1) and decided to got another one from them - their hardware quality is just superb. Used my Z1 for seven years and it worked great all the time - until shit happened and fate decided I had to get another one.
Because propaganda is something else. We have a term for them, “morenazis” (something like brown-skin nazis").
One of the reasons I got so bored with Reddit is that in the largest sub of my country, r/Colombia, there’s a clusterfuck of right-wing neckbeards obsessed with politics who truly believe the world and the country is as they learn from it from social media (not only from Twitter or Facebook, but even from Reddit and 4chan themselves) and live inside a bubble, most probably protected by mommy and daddy. I recall those morons making fun of people watching open air TV because they think everybody should be watching streaming services, in a country where about half of the people don’t have access to the internet, another chunk don’t even have a TV and there’s people with no access to electricity at all. Hell, at this very moment there are kids dying from hunger. At the time I left they even created at least a couple more subs to openly ventilate their stupidity, r/ColombiaReddit and r/ChomposCol.
So, it’s kind of privileged and near-sighted people with the IQ of a potato blaming less fortunate people for issues their class have caused in the first place.
I suspect @mox is confused somehow - as far as I know, KDEConnect does not provide any system service interface so systemd can handle it. It all happens in the KDE user session.
I know this because I don’t use systemd and have KDEConnect working and autolaunching here.
