I mean that’s vague.

I’d say it depends on the content too. On a computer monitor at typical size/distance? Yeah probably. Small text will look much much better.

Depends on the screen size and distance.

And piracy gets them from Bluray.

Now that that’s dying I’m afraid we’re gonna be stuck with streaming bitrates.

There’s barely any actual 4K content you can consume

I feel like that’s not true. But you’ve gotta try. If you’re streaming it, chances are it’s not really any better. 4K Bluray (or rips of them…) though? Yeah it’s good. And since film actually has 8K+ resolution old movies can be rescanned into high resolution if the original film exists.

Supposedly Sony Pictures Core is one streaming service that can push nearly 4K Bluray bitrates… but you’ve gotta have really good internet. Like pulling 50-80GB in the span of a movie runtime.

I feel like on monitors because you’re fairly close getting at least 2k is good. Depending on size even 4k makes sense.

Small text on large 1080p monitors looks… Not great.

For gaming though absolutely

Nah. On larger screens it’s good to have

Yeah. A 1080p Bluray clocks in around 20GB. A 4K bluray is 60-80GB.

If you’re downloading something smaller it’s probably lower quality

Funnily enough piefed.social does not seem to block .ml

Huh? I wasn’t trying to stalk you, you said you had run into them so I took a peek.

I mean, here’s a Hexbear thread about him winning.

They’re skeptical that he’ll stay principled but nobody there is saying he’s the next coming of Hitler.

I’d love to see the link. You’ve got over 1k comments in 30 days or I’d look for it on your profile.

Thanks for the links to the posts/comments backing up your statement. Really made me think.

I’d say they’re skeptical that Mamdani will keep to his promises or that electing him isn’t enough. But dislike? I bet every one would’ve voted for him.

Seeing the tankies talk about him on .ml would make you think he was leading the 4the Reich.

I’ve seen many that are skeptical that he’ll stick to his promises but I don’t think any of that crowd would disagree that he was clearly the best option and a big step forward.

Illegally occupied land.

Supposedly they’re offering a refund up until it ships if you want. It’s not a completely brand new company so it doesn’t seem super risky. I do it with a credit card that way you can do a chargeback if things go really bad.

What the other person said is true, I have a second old phone that I installed Ubuntu on. It’s really limited which phone support it though good chance you don’t have one.

Banking apps are going to check what is called “play integrity API” which checks if the device is secure locked, and not rooted. The app which allows you to use Android apps on Ubuntu touch is called Waydroid. It basically runs a full Android phone in a virtual machine. I very, very much doubt banking apps will like it. A lot of them will not run on a rooted Android phone for this reason.

Other apps will work fine. A little slow, plus it’s a real battery hog to emulate the whole Android system. So if I was really trying to daily drive Ubuntu touch, I would only open the Android app for as long as I needed it and immediately shut the system down. I would try to find native apps as much as possible.

Itself? I wouldn’t think so. But like almost all Android phones it comes with Google services so there’s that. They said the Bootloader will be unlockable to that should be able to be mitigated…

I’d say less than a mainstream flagship.
