  • Epic Games is suing Samsung (and Google) for making it harder to sideload Android apps

    Jump

  • Oh yeah, I don't have an issue with them ruining their devices. I just have them locked down because I don't want them to have free use on the internet. So much mindrot on there...

  • I'm very happy my 12y old kid can't just sideload shit nilly willy. He legit Googles minecraft hacks and downloads random apks and stuff if he gets the chance)

    (his phone is also fully locked down with parental because a 12y old should have free reign on the internet, but that's beside the point)

  • Why EU leaders should get off Musk's X

    Jump

  • I work for a large eu government agency. Why the hell they still insist that we promote our workings on Twitter completely eludes me. It does not make any sense whatsoever. They should get off and stop promoting that cesspool. Go to any of the myriad of competitors or just go back to Facebook and Instagram...

  • Really? Been using a logitech trackball at work for 14 years now. My k750 keyboard lasted me almost 10y until the battery completely gave up and I wanted to upgrade. My Mx keys has lasted me for years since.

    Similar stories for my mice, none of them have failed, I've only upgraded because I wanted lighter, more/less buttons or for other reasons.

  • Google Confirms Play Store App Deletion—Now Just 6 Weeks Away

    Jump

  • Ofcourse not, I also use fdroid and I sideload a shitton of apps. But Google is not killing off alternate stores, they're just making their store safer. My whole point is that this change is not that negative. If anything it'll have a positive effect on non tech savvy users. It'll save me time by potentially causing less issues on the devices of family members.

  • That final part isn't really Google's fault no? But just the devs cutting functions?

  • Google Confirms Play Store App Deletion—Now Just 6 Weeks Away

    Jump

  • Yeah, I read it. Didn't think much of it. Are those apps that common? Don't use them, as my browser can read pdf and text files.

    Sounds more like some fringe apps will get caught in the cross hairs. Still sounds like a good change for the average end user. For the average power user, it won't make a difference imo.

  • I mean, I know lemmy has an open source hardon and hates anything walled, but is this really such a bad thing? Google is getting rid of a bunch of shitty apps and risky apps. Nothing is stopping you from still sideloading them if you really need them.

    I really fail to see the actual issue aside from "google bad"

  • So much for Blockchain's real life use cases

    Jump

  • Fair enough. I'm raising my kids in a similar fashion. I dislike the sexual repression in the west (from which I unconsciously still suffer). But I'm still worried about other boys :)

  • So much for Blockchain's real life use cases

    Jump

  • Until your daughter comes home with a boyfriend with a fucked up sense of what sex is and ruins her day/week/month/year/life.

    I'm certainly not pro government tracking anything I do, let alone porn watching, but if I see how my own kids get exposed to it through friends. No matter how much I try to educate them, friends still show them absolute vile stuff...

  • Patrick Breyer and Pirate Party lose EU Parliament seats

    Jump

  • I wanted to vote for them, I did so last time, but they didn't appear on the ballot in my country this time. Couldn't vote for them...

  • What a CASHLESS society REALLY means

    Jump

  • Is that the real reason? Or because it's a) safer for the shop (no cash on hand) and b) much simpler for the staff (no counting money, figuring out change etc...)

    Not everything is purely about being evil you know....

  • De-Google Your Life - Part 1 - YouTube LTT

    Jump

  • Yes, I read it. Outside reputable company found no wrong doing. LTT released a statement. By mentioning the lawsuit, they also shut down speculation that they have a weak position.

    OP of that post projects their own horrible experience onto LTT. They add nothing at all to the situation, they don't offer any new proof whatsoever. Fuck that tbh. I feel sorry for their personal experience, but this has nothing to do with whole Madison story.

    When the Madison story came out, I unsubbed from LTT. Always believe the victim. But then more and more info came out that cast quite some doubt on the veracity of the whole story.

    Now it sounds more like an employee that had an (maybe very much so for them) unpleasant experience at a company and lashed out. Turns out the work company wasn't as bad as she made it out to look. Shit happens.

  • You did see the report they released right? Outside consultant coming to the conclusion no egregious things happened? I'd give them the benefit of the doubt at this point tbh.

  • Phone number services

    Jump

  • Get a cheap new phone number? Your potential employer will find out your identity eventually when you start working there no? What's the issue with having to use ID to get a new line? You put a fake name on your resume?

    There's things like taking privacy too far you know :)

  • Suggested Seedbox Provider

    Jump

  • Been using it for close to 10 years. Never had a single serious issue with it. Apps break now and then. A simple reboot of the server or the app fixes it every single time.

    A lot of public torrents download and seed at insane speeds. Like "must be in the same building or even the same disk" speeds.

  • Which character should I use in a Windows/Linux directory name to place it at the top of an alphabetically sorted list?

    Jump

  • A folder 1

    AA folder 2

    AAA folder 3

    Who cares about readability and logic. My outlook work archives are a mess.

  • What is the most well thought out, inoffensive, post you've seen get down voted?

    Jump

  • Any post on lemmy that goes against the Linux/ FoSS hivemind gets down voted instantly, regardless if it is well thought out or not.

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

    Jump

  • To be fair, I've been using windows since 3.1. I haven't paid for windows since xp I think. I got an oem key second hand right around w7 for my desktop. That key has just lasted me all the way to w11. So I haven't paid ms anything either in decades (except for my personal data I guess?)
