  • I feel like the GUI’S and user experience have barely changed in the last ten years since I started using linux. You still need to use the terminal for basic things like installing WiFi drivers when your distro didn’t automarically install it and smooth scrolling on a trackpad has been garbage for years.

    Needing to fiddle to install basic drivers on a 2012 macbook air is kinda unacceptable in this day and age. I had to pull put a USB Ethernet jack and go through three updates and restarts for the drivers to finally pop up. I like tinkering so I don’t mind, but a regular person with basic computer skills would have no clue what to do.

    I sat down every time and my teacher would get pissed. I finally told her that my grandpa fought in WWII for my right to protest and that shit her up real fast. I’m not going to pledge my aliegence to an inanimate object, I shouldn’t have to prove my love for my country with a pledge.


  • That’s pretty neat, I think that’s a great example of how machine learning being useful for everyday activities. Face detection on cameras has been a big issue ever since the birth of digital photography. I’m using a Japanese 5 III that I picked up for $130 and its been great. I’ve heard of being able to side load camera apps from other Xperias onto the 5 III so I’ll give it a try.

    I think Sony makes great hardware and their phones have some classy designs and I’m also a fan of their DSLR’S. I’ve always admired there phones going back to the Ericson Walkmans, their designs have aged amazingly. I apreciate how close to stock Sony’s Xperia phones are, I dont like UI’s and bloatware you cant remove. My last Android phone a Galaxy S III was terrible in that regard and put me off from buying another Android until recently. I was actually thinking about getting a 1 VI as my next phone and install lineage on it now that I’m ready to commit.
