  • Google’s Search AI Mode will know everything about you. | Tuta

    Jump

  • A great reminder that you need to shield your data at all costs. And if you need a reminder of the dangers of the internet, take a peek at this.

  • Is Android really the next big desktop operating system?

  • DF Direct Weekly #240: Steam Machine - Pricing, Specs, VRAM, ARM Ambitions + More

    Jump

  • Well, Valve just dropped prices for everything... Can't wait to see how everyone reacts.

  • Lemmy is designed to fail the same way as reddit when reaching the same size

    Jump

  • Instances can be created freely, and are free to both associate and disassociate with other instances as they please.

    Each instance decides their comfort with content within their instance and outside it. There are left leaning instances, centrist ones, and I'm sure a few right leaning ones. Some are ban-happy, but many will allow you to post all sorts of content, as long as it's not too outlandish.

    If the content you wish to see/post is wildly outside the overton window, you can join an instance that allows this or create your own. But other instances are under no obligation to federate with content they don't wish to see.

  • GrapheneOS is finally ready to break free from Pixels, and it may never look back

    Jump

  • It's a limited development pool, and they focus on delivering the most secure mobile OS possible, within the constraints that their funding and resources allow.

    There are other ROMS, such as CalyxOS that have expanded to a few other devices, and LineageOS which has even broader support.

  • What's your greatest "gaming high" you've been chasing ever since? Please take care not to spoil anything, if you are going to be story-specific.

    Jump

  • The only console I had exposure to as a young child was the Gameboy.

    At a birthday sleepover with some friends, we all stayed up late into the night playing the original Nazi Zombies map from COD: WAW. Nothing has ever beat the sheer joy and fun I had with that initial playthrough.

  • Mobile Linux OS PostmarketOS finances smartphone audio & Call reliability projects

    Jump

  • This is great news!

    For those unaware, Google is continuously enacting policies that are closing down the open environment of Android, and I fear this will significantly harm projects like GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, and others.

    If you can spare a couple dollars, please consider throwing some money at PostmarketOS or any other mobile Linux project you like.

  • Meshtastic: A Tale of Two Cities

    Jump

  • The device everyone in my circle has is the LilyGo T-Deck. It's a blackberry style device that can can be used without a phone connection.

    A couple of friends and I have other devices, such as those from Heltec. But the T-Deck makes it simple and easy for those in the circle that aren't as tech savvy.

    My best recommendation for a starter device, though, would be the LilyGo T-Echo.

  • Meshtastic: A Tale of Two Cities

    Jump

  • My circle of friends and family keep Mestastic devices for emergency backup communication capability. Although unlikely, it gives us peace of mind that we could talk to each other if the phone lines go down.

    And they're lots of fun to play with, too!

  • Removed

    If it ask for your phone number its not private.

  • I am a huge fan of SimpleX and their removal of user IDs. I think it's a brilliant solution, and wish that SimpleX was recommended more than Signal.

  • Phone backups?

    Jump

  • My method is much more manual and involved, but fits my needs:

    I have my pictures, documents, and music folders synced automatically to a few computers via Syncthing. At the start op each month, I export my contacts, Obtainium apps, and other files to my documents. At this time, I also make backups to the cloud and make a couple copies to external hard drives. It may sound intensive, but it only takes 5 minutes a month.

    I restart / update my phone very often for various tests and projects. Whenever I need to do so, I upload these files from my computer or hard drive. Using a guide that I've made myself, it takes maybe ten minutes to have my phone exactly the way it was before.

  • Denmark aims to ban social media for children under 15, PM says

    Jump

  • Same for trans kids, or gay kids, or anyone that doesn't fit the norm.

    I understand that social media can have detrimental effects on everyone, especially the youth. But let's stop pretending like social media is akin to heroin, with no potential benefits. Social media is a great place for some people, teens and preteens included, to find a sense of community and belonging.

  • Predictable

    Jump

  • I'm sure Mr. Bunny is a fine performer, I just don't care for football.

  • how did you make the switch from reddit to lemmy.. i'm trying to myself but struggling to ngl

    Jump

  • Participating has really helped. I'm still struggling to post, but I try to comment wherever I feel I can add value, however small.

    Build the platform you want to be part of.

  • Android/Phone Alternatives? [Discussion]

    Jump

  • Stuff like PostmarketOS looks interesting. The new Furilabs phone doesn't sound too bad either.

    If you have the money, consider donating $5 to a couple Linux mobile projects. Small donations here and there can be the difference needed to make Linux mobile a viable option.

  • 10 Years of Redox OS and Rust - Jeremy Soller

    Jump

  • I'm really looking forward to Redox becoming a viable alternative for desktop.

  • Why?

    Jump

  • My shift was primarily ideologically driven. I was sick of privacy encroachment, enshittification, and feeling like my computer wasn't truly mine. Linux changed all that.
