I don't even think this counts because then you'd be paying for the brittle and useless big folding display as well, when all you want is the smaller outer one. Plus the worse repairability.

To be fair, most phones have invasive Google/Apple/Chinese OEM services that work with high privileges and are invasive on their own, without apps. The share of people using degoogled OSes is small enough to assume it isn't t

Statements like this are a stretch. This was not the fact of using the OS, but specifically the fact of wiping it. The situation is atrocious enough as is, no need to make up additions.

"Eat less meat, smaller homes, no flights"? Sounds like an average person to me because of poverty, lol. Even my family, well above the threshold for poverty, has to do this. "Electric cars" is less likely tho because ha

Big thanks for clearing that out! Makes sense.

The answer here would be "there's no such thing as a generic "server" like in ActivityPub because it's split into different components, of which a PDS is only one". Honestly my main question here is "If yo

I didn't mean anything exact, more like a joking suggestion. But yeah, if we're talking seriously - seems like this boils down to a ton of luck (good genetics and a secure enough employment or opportunity).

I don't think it's generational. I got the impression it's a share of about every age group. Also, ownership can be a side effect for even those who don't care, just because they're used to not paying for things. Fo

I see nothing wrong with abandoning physical media - as storage got larger and internet faster, being limited by clunky disks has become kinda pointless unless you're specifically into collecting. I see nothing wrong with moving on fro

Why would anyone use slop alternatives though? I don't think people wouldn't be creating non-slop ones.

Lol, relatable. For me it's not the library (because I have backups of that), but the in-game items. And not even for their monetary worth (which is relatively low), but for sentimental value (the stats counted on them).

Profiles are a thing in "stock" Android too, they just don't have the toggle to disallow them working in the background, the "Install available apps" option and Google services also keep working across profiles. If

I see nobody saying "good afternoon" in a grocery store , that's the one place where you keep interactions to a minimum. Also, self-checkouts are not always an option because at least the ones at grocery stores here never ac

I know Chrome has some additional limitations, and in a vacuum MV3 doesn't break UBO as hard - but is blocking of the "Element picker" part of that or inherent to MV3? I rely on that a lot.

Yeah, it did shut down :( Ever since, I haven't really found an English-speaking replacement. Rutracker has the absolute majority of what I need but doesn't have some newer American children's cartoons that I used to get from

I only used Rutracker and Rarbg (rip), TPB felt sketchier. I wonder what's the "prime" English-language public tracker now? 1337?

I don't think I'd prefer this, tbh. I would want to see the whole topic information when choosing what exact torrent to download. Is it marked "verified" or "questionable"? If it's "questionable"

Eh, not really. Using EOL devices is genuinely a bad idea, it's just that with phones you have no choice due to the updates usually being only like 2-3 years and alternative OSes not being as accessible as Linux. And most people don&#x

I feel like the complaint about this not adding to security could be read in a really wrong way. Instead of "this is some hypocritical BS", could be interpreted as "lol let's lock EOL devices from even lower integrity ti

Would like to read a writeup on this, I was certain it was going to be something like this from the app's announcement. Also I recall a discussion on Graphene's forums that DRM ID is not only retained there, but stays the same acr
