@retoor but just one year :)

@Lensflare @retoor Every year is the year of the linux desktop

@Lensflare i am ms hater I don't use windows but the windows phone was hand down million times better and more intuitive than the android which was and still is a pos garbage system.
What killed ms phone was stupid approach to the app market.
Such a shame. I still have lumia and use it as a music player, even sound output was way way better than on android -
@devJs I completely agree

@YourMom the thing ng is that i don't want google phone, I don't want Samsung's bloatware and pricey phone with semi-shitty specs, xiaomi went to shit also.
I ended up buying old iphone, will see how rhtat shit goes, at this point i am thinking about making my own comm device or just buying phone from the early 2000s like nokia 3310 old version, i think i have nokia 1100 somewhere but will have to check if it works on 4g.
I am literally thinking about having just a phone/sms device and other device that connects to just to the wlan -

@Lensflare Croatian, but close enough since there is a lot of Croats living in Germany

@devJs oh, I thought Germans were the only ones calling it WLAN instead of WIFI.
Similar to Handy instead of mobile phone.
time traveler: *steps on a bug*
changes to our world:
- C has python syntax based on indentation and has no curly braces
- mario has fall damage
- tetris is called triris and uses blocks of three squares rather than four
- the word "disk" doesn't exist, everything is "disc"
- every device uses a new version of mSATA instead of usb type c
- screens are 3:2 instead of 16:9
- javascript name wasn't adopted, the language was called lifescript instead, as originally intended. because of it, it didn't secure funding when it most needed it, so it never caught on. instead, microsoft bought macromedia, and every site is written with Microsoft Flash. CSS has XML syntax.
- steve jobs didn't rely on alternative medicine, so he succesfully beat cancer. because of him, every phone has the size of iPhone 4s, but bezels are tiny. everything that's bigger is called phablet, and big phones are not a thing. instead, web is "smaller" in size, every ui is more compact.
- wimax caught on and won the 4g war. 5g is called wimax 2.0.
- microsoft had more time to complete vista, and hardware manufacturers had more time to make faster chips. when vista came out, it wasn't buggy and was very fast. it acquired cult status like xp. because of it, windows 8 still had frutiger aero design.
