Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I'd even add that now 99% of the distro have a gui over the package manager. Have an android or iPhone? You already have experience in installing stuff in an easier way than windows

    Unless you want to install older apps on modern Android. Then you need ADB.

    adb install --bypass-low-target-sdk-block app_filename.apk

    Uh. Didn't knew that.

    But that only applies to apps that have a lower target than Android 6, right?

    [–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    Yes, but it could have been solved with a warning.

    Instead I believe it just says that the app is "Incompatible".

    [–] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 months ago

    Once there are some fundamental changes in the Android framework, these old apps will actually become incompatible. So Google wants to prepare their users for that scenario, and force devs to update their apps.

    I saved this comment when I read it, not remembering the last time I would've needed it. Two days later and I had to use it, thanks!!
