  • Cover the G logo with a pop socket or some shit. No one will give enough of a shit to desire your phone. Buying used always denies OEMs sales so its always good to buy used

  • US Says It's Not Discussing Withdrawing From Iraq

    Jump

  • Super cool that new privates headed to Iraq weren't alive when that particular conflict started. Super cooool

  • Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads

    Jump

  • Using the internet without an adblocker is genuinely dangerous. Everyone really should be using uBlock Origin. Using a web browser that prevents uBlock Origin puts you in danger

  • Anyone been having problems with your Lemmy client? Eternity is kinda broken since an update

  • I wonder if its because Beehaw is staying on 18.x while awaiting Sublinks

  • GTK Apps might come to Android

    Jump

  • Lionir is talking about API implementations for everything to go off a single CSS file or a single icon pack. Not about the implementation of your personal desired aesthetic (I refuse to use the term rice, it has origins in racist car and motorcycle culture)

  • Use a password manager

  • If you use a deterministic password manager, make sure you make your master password strong

  • Use a password manager

    Jump

  • In-built password managers for browsers are straightforward to crack. Like… Terrifyingly easy. It's much better to use something like Bitwarden, Vaultwarden if you don't trust Bitwarden, 1Password if you really want the reassurance of paying someone for trust, or KeePass if you don't trust anyone at all (I, personally, fit into this category).

  • Chrome will block one of its biggest ad blockers

  • The ad company blocking an ad blocker is totally about security

  • Android 15 could bring the tablet taskbar to phones: Here's your first look at the 'tiny' taskbar

  • Yeah please stop trying to act like multitasking on a small screen is something anyone wants. There's enough bugs out there for app switching to fix that you coulda focused on that instead of adding another half assed product on top of your current half assed product

  • Constituent states within the EU can have more laws on top of the EU's laws. Maybe things have changed since the last time I had to implement code to respect these laws, but as of two years ago Germany and Sweden were the two countries where we had to make the most considerations with Germany being VERY strong

  • cottagecore was cryptofascist propaganda anyway

  • So. The oversimplification is you own a condo and you rent an apartment, however, you'll also run into definitions about where the front door gets you. Think of the difference between a motel and a hotel. With an apartment there's a hallway that you enter through one door, and then enter your apartment through a door along that hallway. A condo, there will be an open air coveted stairwell that your door will be accessed from. Which is another layer of oversimplification since in a lot of old developments you'll have a bottom floor commercial property and an upper floor apartment accessed from an open air door at ground level with a set of stairs reaching the apartment (imagine bobs burgers).

    Point is. From living conditions perspective, they're very similar. The important thing is ownership models and that's the thing you should be looking into. You can rent a condo, you can own an apartment. It all just depends on local laws and definitions

  • Tax incentives and property values have made them less attractive for home builders. Meanwhile They're a waste of space and energy and people who live in townhomes and apartments rate as much happier than people living in detached homes

  • Privacy law considerations. Germany is downright good for its citizens. The US has a round about spying industry. Brazil basically has mandatory mass surveilance. Everyone else's laws are more or less the same. Not identical. But Mozilla can meet their requirements pretty trivially

  • The Best Encrypted Messengers in 2024

    Jump

  • Messengers are not protocols. They use protocols. Most XMPP clients use the same encryption scheme Signal does only without being dependent on a single specific server, allowing users to spread out. I recommend reading about the differences between targeting developing a platform and developing protocols. Once you do, you'll see XMPP+Encryption in a better light than anything like Signal. The main problem in the current moment with XMPP+Encryption us that it isn't where the people are. Us tech weirdos can start the push into that space a little bit, but we need "Normies" to adopt to, and for that we need to be clear on what were talking about. Comparing XMPP to signal doesn't make sense. Comparing Cheogram to Signal does. And in the latter, cheogram frankly blows Signal out of the water for real privacy and security considerations

  • How was your experience using Linux in college?

  • It was good! I really enjoyed it

  • Legitimately! Early Metallica was all about liberatory politics. Then it turned into center-right american politics. The kinds of dudes who really have hard-ons for how great the status quo is.

  • twitter has started training AI with user data

    Jump

  • Yeah. I didn't pull down my comments when I left, but the oldest ones from 2010-2012 are real fucking wrong-headed. That's while I was still in college and hadn't learned yet that the real messaging about how the world works was

    1. staring me right in the face
    2. not discussed as being about what its about by mainstream media outlets

    That was the era frat rap was not just allowed to exist, but with some regularity got mainstream popularity. The great irony is two big names from that space, Asher Roth and Mac Miller went on to do some really thoughtful and insightful work, and I think their journey of awakening to the harm their privilege did is what a lot of us went through. Like. I don't think the majority of us were thinking enough about the importance of countercultural music movements. Now google and reddit get to be the kings of that toxic outdated way of thinking.

    The bad news is... That toxic outdated way of thinking benefits them. And now they'll have a big data model that can post real seeming messages and amplify those shitty takes a lot of us grew out of
