pachico··on Fairphone 5: Keeping it 10/10?
Trust me, I only use browser, travel apps, Slack, bank apps and nothing else and I've been having issues for a year, I'd say. Maybe that OS is crap and I the phone too, I don't know.

Somehow, I thought 4+2 GiB of ram would suffice.

Spanish BBVA and Triodos bank apps combined with Brave browser on a redmi with 4+2 GiB of ram.
pachico··on Fairphone 5: Keeping it 10/10?
At least not with vanilla settings.
pachico··on Fairphone 5: Keeping it 10/10?
I lost one 20 years ago, that was the closest I've been to breaking one.
pachico··on Fairphone 5: Keeping it 10/10?
Not obvious at all, my friend, or at least not to me. Unfortunately, I don't have such option in my Redmi but I'll look for something similar, thanks!
pachico··on Fairphone 5: Keeping it 10/10?
It's not that they are slow. When I pay online, I need to confirm the payment through my bank app. When I switch to it, the browser or shop app closes and I cannot complete the transaction.
pachico··on Fairphone 5: Keeping it 10/10?
Yup, that's what I'm dealing with and it sucks.

I am typing this from a phone that I am already considering replacing for this very same reason although it does everything well and I looks brand new (rubber case, screen protection, etc.).

I understand phones are harder to upgrade because space is very limited but the e-waste we're generating (and the money impact) seems something that needs to be addressed.

pachico··on Fairphone 5: Keeping it 10/10?
I wish I could simply run 3 year old apps. In many cases I am not allowed, especially the bank ones, which are the ones that I cannot run in the background as the OS kills them.
pachico··on Reviving decade-old Macs with antiX and MX Linux (2022)
Only a decade of life doesn't seem to me something that should require "revival".

I'm still using my 11y/o Dell XPS which I cannot upgrade but works great.

pachico··on Fairphone 5: Keeping it 10/10?
I never broke a phone, not even scratched the screen but I feel force to buy a new one every 3 years because they become obsolete (I guess apps require more and more memory to the point I cannot have two open at the same time, which kills my ability to pay online).

I bought a Framework laptop for the same reason and I successfully managed to upgrade it, not repair it!

Is there a phone that allows me to upgrade over time and not only fix it?

pachico··on Spotify will reduce total headcount by approximately 17%
Firing people is business as usual. I don't know why this is usually taken with such surprise.

It's part of the life cycle of many companies to hyper-hire when money flows in, and cut lots of jobs when they "re-adjust". I don't think this is good, I personally don't like it, but I learned not to be surprised anymore.

We like cloud because it scales in and out: often management don't see workforce differently.

pachico··on Shane MacGowan has died
To someone that knows absolutely nothing about this person, can you tell me what he is famous and/or praised for?

(I often find myself in this situation, to be honest...)

pachico··on Terraform Cloud Pricing Changes Sticker Shock
When they changed price from seats to resources we migrated to self managed
pachico··on Major outages across ChatGPT and API
Dammit, how do I do internal announcements in slack without a DALL-E picture?
pachico··on Ko: Easy Go Containers
Dammit, why didn't I know about this? In general, I always have the feeling I'm not aware of great applications out there, and I confirm this sensation every time I find them, like now!

How do you all stay tune of the great apps out there?

pachico··on 999 Request Denied
Just... Why?
pachico··on ChDB: Embedded OLAP SQL Engine Powered by ClickHouse
I'm tempted to say that the very same reason why you need different environments is precisely because the package system is not healthy.

And the fact that it's not easy to use doesn't really make things better.

pachico··on 12,000-year-old realistic human statue was unearthed
Honest question. How do young-earth creationists react to these news?

We don't have many in Spain, despite being quite a religious country, and I'm always intrigued.

pachico··on Prophet: Automatic Forecasting Procedure
It's the mechanism used by Grafana's forecasting feature. It's still not greatly explained and in many cases it makes it hard for the user to understand it's results as might be below zero for data that can only be positive numbers (requests per second, for instance).
pachico··on DuckDB 0.9
Honest question here, how does it compare to clickhouse-local?
pachico··on Opera's browser is now available with chess baked in
Someone thought this was a good idea...
pachico··on Elon Musk says X, formerly Twitter, could charge all users for access
That would be fantastic as it would force me once and for all to delete my account and move on.
pachico··on PHP-Tokio – Use any async Rust library from PHP
This is true. On my defense, I hoped I could, somehow, settle some of the dust with it.
pachico··on PHP-Tokio – Use any async Rust library from PHP
Very kind words, thanks!
pachico··on PHP-Tokio – Use any async Rust library from PHP
Every time I read "PHP" in a thread I think "Here we go again with the useless hate/love comments".

Can we just agree on "PHP used to suck but it was very easy to work with, reason why it got traction. Things got better over the years and those that only saw the early years, rightfully only remember how much it sucked, while those that use modern versions see how much it has changed"?

pachico··on Move Back to Datacenters
I couldn't read it all because the number of GIFs started to make me nervous :(
pachico··on OpenTerraform – an MPL fork of Terraform after HashiCorp's license change
> They refuse to believe their paid offers are just not good enough

This is the most important sentence, as I see it.

pachico··on OpenTerraform – an MPL fork of Terraform after HashiCorp's license change
I think it's quite clear they don't care about being called an open source company, which is fine, as I see it.

This will shake the sandbox. I personally hope that the community will step up with a fork.

pachico··on OpenTerraform – an MPL fork of Terraform after HashiCorp's license change
Shares were going down for some time, env0 (Terraform Cloud competitor) just raised 35m from VC for a what seems to be a good product... Hashicorp did it's move. If there's a community behind, the fork will live and, who knows, maybe many will start using it instead of the original one. It's all up to the community and substantial sponsors, at this point.

I still think that the best way to compete is by having a more appealing product, thought, rather than changing licence. And I mean this for Hashicorp, Elastic, etc.

If you need to do this move is because you don't really succeed at having a better product, else you would just benefit from FOSS rather than it being a liability.

pachico··on Dramatic rise in cancer in people under 50
Couldn't the reason be also that people survive or simply don't get affected by other illnesses anymore?
