  • That time when Microsoft bought and killed Nokia phone unit

    Jump

  • Honestly it was a bad call on Nokia to switch to windows. They would have been in a different place of they capitalised on their market share and switched to android.

  • My Pixel 5a just died after 5 months of use. Looking for a new phone I can deGoogle.

    Jump

  • If you don't mind getting an older used phone, then the Samsung A52s might be a good choice.

    Its, OLED, has an SD slot, and has a headphone jack.

    Also, apparently Lineage OS supports this device. https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/a52sxq/

    The other option is to get another Pixel and install Graphese. Though they don't come with an SD slot.

  • What's changed in lemmy and the fediverse in the past 3 months?

    Jump

  • That's true. There are a lot of fringe types of users here that aren't interesting (weed, curries, conspiracy stuff, etc). General average Joe discussions aren't much here tbh.

    I do enjoy privacy and Foss discussions, but another issue here is that alot of posts are either reposts by users, or bots. You can check that same post on Reddit and you will see a lot of comments around it. Some positive and others negative but still higher in numbers.

  • Consolidation is another thing. There are many communities that are similar on different instances, firefox for example.

    Would be nice if lemmy supports something like multi Reddit with the option of hiding duplicate posts.

    Jump

  • Content diversity seems like it slowed down. Back when the Reddit exodus happened about of niche communities were created. A lot of them have been abandoned now.

    Lemony is still good as it’s tech and privacy centric (which I love). But the excess of US related news, furry stuff, commie/cappie arguments are everywhere. You can always block communities and instances but it gets tiring after some time.

  • Are you prepared for the ramifications of windows 10 EoL?

    Jump

  • Honestly, once a Microsoft OS goes end of life, it becomes a great offline machine to run older software and games.

    Guaranteed not to be pissed around with Microsoft updates.

  • Proton Pass open source password manager is now available on F-Droid

    Jump

  • Proton is great but I do feel wary from putting all my eggs in one basket again.

  • Parents of lemmy, at what age did/would you give a smartphone to your kids ?

    Jump

  • I would keep a small dumb phone as a family phone for when kids go on trips and sleep overs. They get a personal smartphone at around the age of 16 or 18.

  • Smothsinian

    Jump

  • That's actually a compact disc compared to the previous laser disc.

  • Indeed Adds Generative AI to Help People Write Better Resumes

    Jump

  • This would only make resumes fill up with AI gibberish.

    HR would now learn to avoid large blocks of text.

  • Help with plugins

    Jump

  • I would think May would try their best to shift you to edge instead.

    Switch that user agent and see.

  • Help with plugins

    Jump

  • Have you tried changing the user agent to chrome to see if it works for you?

  • Anyone have good ways to search through lemmy posts?

  • Lemmy lives to rip reddit to pieces and share any bad news about them.

    I didn't leave an ex to keep being reminded a out her. Just move on and share anything new.

  • Do you prefer the headphone jack to be at the top or at the bottom on a phone, and why?

    Jump

  • Bottom of the phone.

    I tend to mount my phone in my car and prefer if the jack is at the bottom.

  • If you could be any age for the rest of your life, which would you choose?

    Jump

  • Mid twenties.

    Young enough to do whatever I want but old enough to be taken seriously.

  • Running Windows on bus screens at Schipol Airport

    Jump

  • That's not the case. Usually governments and public organisations go throw a volume licensing agreements that sees them taking more than just windows. It would usually include things like windows, office, a bunch of enterprise applications, as well as support on top of it all.

    Microsoft usually relies on those agreements to push software that might not be needed.

    Another reason could be the video display management system they used to remotely control these screens. The software might only run on windows.

  • With discord planning to show ads, how can the fediverse/lemmy benefit from another proprietary program making itself worse? (Like it was with reddit)

    Jump

  • Why not promote matrix as a substitute?

  • Google Pixel alternatives?

    Jump

  • I see two options here really. Either get a pixel phone and install Graphene on it (this allows you to run play services in a sandbox), or get any phone that supports lineage and install everything there and avoid Google.

    It depends on whether you need Google services or not. Pixel phones support both operating systems.
