My partner and I now half-jokingly refer to all legitimate pictures, footage, etc. as "legacy".

I suppose the veracity of history could be an excellent block chain application.

It does appear that my current usage (as confirmed on their linked dashboard) will be covered by $10/mo plan I'm already effectively on.

Without even considering the early adopter benefit, this pricing update for me is a nothing-burger.

I am exactly in the same boat. I had raised my concerns regarding pricing twice and both the times they had said that they will introduce new pricing model. I was really hoping that they will reduce my $10/mo subscription pricing.

It'll 23 skidoo when the time comes.

> You can actually install Linux on these old phones, the technical restrictions are long since broken. But there is no funding to make something usable using this capability.

I gave postmarketos a shot for 6 months or so, and sadly I have to agree that it's not ready for daily driving, even by experienced users.

This fairphone 4 on the other hand with lineage 20 looks like it will keep me going for a few more years.

There is an under appreciated world of difference between “booted Linux” and “I can use this as my only phone”. The community can manage the first one, they typically can’t do the second.

Postmarket OS is a cool project but I wouldn’t count on it ever being more than a neat way to tinker with obsolete devices.

To be clear, it could place calls and run a web browser on mobile data. The device was very much a phone.

It falls down (of course) at the larger list of secondary use cases many take for granted. For me it was mobile navigation, though it would also still hard crash noticeably often. I do expect the crashes at least to be fixed next time I look.

Would databases have been better to work with if SQL didn't ape natural language?

Would Excel, if it _did_ choose to embrace a "natural" macro syntax?

Remember when CGI movies were all stuck in the uncanny valley? Turns out language has a valley too.

The system I use is somewhat similar, but with a twist: I wait for the author to die.

I'd venture to say that the demographics of science fiction/fantasy authors differ greatly between the deceased greats and the active contributors, and that would be something I would be afraid to miss out on by limiting myself to the former.

This is great, thank you. Now if I could just cross-reference with postmarketos...

Agreed. It seems most comments in here find the quality noticeably better than G or DDG (I know I do.)

Given that, I suppose I could empathize with a hypothetical user who cares about search quality but finds $7 lattes prohibitively expensive. For the rest of us price as a counter argument just seems silly.
