The original Stargate movie did that, though I don't think it's a majority of the dialogue.

The problem is though an OS is only as good as its apps, unless it has some killer feature that can make up for the lack of it. Linux worked because Wine and Proton made the huge back catalogue of windows games work on it, but that's a different use case from a mobile phone. Bank apps I particular are a bit pain point with how they keep using Google's features to only work on non modified official android versions. I'm sure you could get browsers and such to work otherwise, and some banks you might be able to use via a browser, but that's already a big hurdle to get over and sell to people as worth doing for all the other benefits.

Interesting, I'm not too familiar with how they work, what makes Apple's more privacy-friendly than Google's?

[–] JustARaccoon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

You can achieve most of that via third party apps, which is where the beauty of android comes. Instead of being forced to use Google if you want the best integration or be treated as a second class citizen if you try to use a third party service, most android features can have app defaults to set, so you can use bitwarden or proton if those work better for you (and imo that makes it more versatile, not less). In terms of integrating and syncing notifications with your desktop either KDE Connect, Microsoft's companion app or Google's companion app should work, though it's not going to be automatic or as in depth as Apple's. I'm not gonna touch the smooth and easy argument as that's something you get used to over time really with these. I find iOS super clunky to use, you find android super clunky, it's about which one you got used to first.

How is the notification system better for privacy on iOS? On android you have notification groups to toggle and you can set which notifications show up on the lock screen and how much of them is visible there. The notification system is to me arguably the best designed thing on android and one of the worst on iOS

Nobody is installing power line if running Ethernet is simple.

Not sure why you're adding any more, you're literally agreeing with my comment, but sure, act like my comment was about future replies, and not the op.

Yeah but between power line and ethernet, it's not a 1:1 comparison. If you can have ethernet you'll likely install ethernet. Power line fills a need for ethernet-like internet when you can't wire the place up.

Sure, but then the question is "can you install network cabling?" If yes, then do that. Even without the interference bit, power line adapters are so finicky and unreliable that they shouldn't really be your go-to solution anyway

[–] JustARaccoon@lemmy.world 97 points 2 months ago (21 children)

I mean does anyone go for power line adapters as their first choice when straight up ethernet is an option?

You'd sound insecure and edgy

Never heard of stremio, sounds like it plays the role of a media server, in which case it doesn't have to be streamio? Plex or Jellyfin could work too
