Android@lemdro.id•"Maybe This Phone ISN’T Just for Criminals - Trying Graphene OS for a Month" - Linus Tech TipsEnglish
271·3 months agoLinus videos have clickbait titles like that, and it’s in reference to some news articles calling GOS an OS for criminals
Title and thumbnail aside, the video was a positive review of GOS and was made with help from a GOS team member. I probably should have added the extra context before it got downvoted away 😄

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some physical items that should be available at libraries for people to borrow?English
4·3 months agoI think it makes sense to pay a deposit and get it back when you return the item. It would make the library more comfortable to lend out quality items. The hard part is knowing what to look for when it’s returned.

Parenting@lemmy.world•Should back-to-school require parent fundraising? Ontario schools are woefully underfunded, and families pay the priceEnglish
2·6 months agoI hadn’t considered that this term is specific to some regions :)
Over here, I usually hear it when someone is referring to the few weeks at the start of a school year for elementary and high school kids. It’s right now for some parts of North America, or around late August / early September for others (ex. in my province in Canada) It’s often used for marketing and sales, but also in the context of child and educational psychology.
