Yeah I hope that happens. But I’m pretty low on hope these days…

99% of the people won’t care and continue using it anyway. The other 1℅ isn’t nearly enough to keep any non AOSP OS alive.

They’ll just block that too. Can’t have a full blown dictatorship without taking away any freedom people have. Better not have a negative opinion about it either.

Holy Fuck 1984 was a warning, not a fucking manual on how to do things.

Gee I totally didn’t see this coming and made a comment about it earlier. Oh wait I totally did.

The peoples republic of United Kingdom.

“The average European household now spends close to €700 (£600) a year on three or more VOD subscriptions. People pay more and get less.”

Lol, not me.

Is that even legal? Just holding your phone while driving can cost you a fine of €. 430 here.

I hate how this community has become mostly politics lately. Its understandable since technology and politics are connected but still.

America in a few years when no one wants their goods anymore and every country outside the US ramped up production since US is the most unreliable partner ever.

So I’m not saying RTO is worse than AI or vice versa. But do you have any data to back up that statement. I’ve been seeing nothing but news about AI data centers being an absolute nightmare for the planet. And even more so when corrupt politicians let then be built in places that already have trouble with maintaining normal water levels.

I get both are bad for the environment.

Editie: thanks for all the sources everyone. TIL

I’m not impressed by Proton at all tbh. There are plenty of reasons to dislike them. Here is a nice article about it:

Disclaimer: always do your own research as well.

How the fuck can you be pro censorship/pro big brother? What kind of idiot do you have to be? Do they just get bags of money to spout out this bullshit?

Does having a lot of money exempt you from this shit? I don’t get it. I can understand detestable people being pro things that make the poor poor and the rich rich. But this affect everyone both poor and rich. The only one benefiting from this are fascist dictators.

Yeah apparently that’s a crime nowadays.

Same here. Lemmy is kinda like reddit when it wasn’t shit. Mastodon is just really awkward to use.

I kinda like Sharkey as well but the federation doesn’t work with Lemmy.

The post itself is reasonable quality and informative so I find it upvote worthy. If a post is low quality or a shit post then I downvote.

To me the karma system is about quality. Not an “I agree/disagree” button.

For comments I only down vote obvious trolls, bigots/racism etc.

The thing is… What alternatives are there? Signal can’t be trusted (on the very same website there is an article about it). I’m not using closed source alternatives, Simplex is kinda shady too tbh and I’m not even sure I could get anyone to use it.

I don’t like Matrix/Element either but sadly its the best open source chat solution we have.

A lot of manufacturers cheap out on the implementation, especially the budget brands from Lidl and Aldi which sometimes leads to the cap not being able to stay on anymore (the milk cartons are especially notorious, they literally break off by just opening them).

So I do get why people get annoyed by it. I also understand that helping the environment is more important so I’m not throwing a hissyfit about it and just tear em off out of spite (I leave them on). But people are still allowed to be annoyed and have an opinion about it.

Most NAS (network attached storage device) have cloud capabilities. Its kinda like one drive only you host it yourself. Synology has Drive for example and even has apps for android and iOS.

You can just save anything to it. A keepass file I just an encrypted database file. If you save it on a NAS then you can access it anywhere.

Obviously you can also use One drive or google drive (or whatever its called nowadays). But I don’t trust Microsoft or Google with my data.

I use a Keepass database that I save on my nas so I can access it from any device.

FairPhone can run Postmarket OS, eOS, iodeos, calyxos and lineageos.

Some have longer support than others. Also you can buy separate parts for their phones and they are modular.

Oh you were talking about social media. I was talking about music services.

Fair enough then. I agree there is no excuse to still use X
