How does everyone feel about Samsung phones?
  • I have an S10, I will stop using Samsung phones after this one. My phone heats up by itself in my pocket and drains my battery by 20% in a matter of minutes no matter how optimised my phone is. The curved screen is a nightmare with screen protectors and they've stopped with headphone jacks and sd cards in later models.

    They are also as anti right to repair as Apple is although they don't have the hardware locked in atleast.

    The camera resolution even with 12MP is very good but Samsung always oversaturates pictures by a massive amount so that grass looks like vomit. Raw images is the only way around that. And the camera app has weird limitations like no pro mode with the UW and tele lenses and third party apps can only use 1080p60 on exynos chips.
    I'm just done with them

  • How does everyone feel about Oneplus phones?
  • A lot of friends of mine have OnePlus for a reason, but I have personally stayed away since the data collection scandal in 2017 (https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/10/11/16457954/oneplus-phones-collecting-sensitive-data). I don't trust Chinese phones in general very much because the government can force data collection very quickly but this is documented behavior by the company. I understand why developers use telemetry but everything but the most basic stuff should be opt in.

  • Why Corporate Owned Linux Distributions are a Bad Idea
  • Developers of distributions that are similar to CentOS will have to pay a subscription to RedHat to access the open source code. This will lead to worse distros and uncertainty that could force users to switch to RedHats paid distro. It is legal, but a shitty move and against the idea of open source movement because it makes using others code for your own projects more difficult, and worsens collaboration.
