It’s a monarchy really
Yes, this is actually a much more helpful way to think about Trump’s approach to presidency. Here is Dr David Smith from the United States Studies Centre explaining this in a recent episode of PEP (excellent in-depth American politics podcast from Australia).
Yes, Proton VPN is a better option if you require that feature.
Yeah they are all interesting ideas that appeal to some kind of niche, but their inability to support them as a small company undercuts most of that. It is a problem for most manufacturers though, even relatively big ones like Motorola are quite poor when compared to the big three (with regards to software support) of Apple, Samsung and Google.
LineageOS support would definitely make me more interested in the Jelly Max. I have considered it a few times but there’s just no way I could justify the purchase with the doubts I have over its long-term viability.
RIP, this was a good project.
You are ignoring the bit where this was a private conversation. They wouldn’t need to laugh along with jokes at their expense because, in the context you are discussing, they would never even be aware that the jokes were made.
Is this a copypasta?
But many people don’t want to have everything completely public
This isn’t true at all. Most people do not care about privacy; those that do are an extreme minority. You (presumably) and I are part of that minority yet even we still comment here, in a public space. The issue with forums has never been about privacy because most are content with pseudonymity. It is a big mistake to think we need to cater to the extreme minority in the privacy space when tackling big issues that involve a majority who do not care.
Discord is far worse in this context, though. Much of reddit is still publicly visible and is still indexed by some search engines, even if it could be better. Discussions from years ago are still visible and provide useful information to many (this is part of the reason “search term + reddit” became such a popular query template). When communities move to Discord, many of their conversations become completely private to anyone who isn’t a member. The conversations move quickly and there is no easy way for people to reference past information. I get that people on Lemmy hate reddit and it’s popular to circlejerk about it, but forums being replaced by things like Discord and Telegram that aren’t equivalents at all has been much more damaging.
My problem isn’t that rhetoric targeting anti-Trump Americans is mean but that it’s counterproductive.
Typing this after you’ve just whined about “Europeans” is peak irony. You guys are so fucking clueless.
Many of your examples are just the US fucking up the lives of citizens in other countries. The average American at home does not give a fuck about the people being murdered by his government, he isn’t going to skip a day of work to protest against that. I think maybe you are forgetting how much Americans loved the idea of invading Iraq, for instance. It took a long time for support to decrease, and even then it was only to like 50/50 levels. Americans weren’t the ones protesting against that war, it was the rest of the world who saw it for what it was. When it comes to foreign affairs the American citizen has consistently been blinded by a mixture of patriotism, ignorance and the myth of American exceptionalism.
Why shouldn’t they be? Americans have long had a superiority complex, always confidently mocking the problems of others around the world as if they were immune to them. It may feel bad for you now but the schadenfreude the rest of the world feels is completely justified. Frankly, the way some of you are suddenly crying about the rest of the world being mean to you is only further contributing to this image of Americans thinking they are above everyone else.
To quit in Firefox I have to tap to open a menu, then scroll down twice, then tap “quit”.
(Just replying in this thread since I can no longer access your other thread.)
I think the reason I overlooked this as an issue is because I have a phone with a 21:9 aspect ratio. The entire menu is always available, I never have to scroll to find things. I went back to a couple of my older phones with 18:5:9 and 16:9 aspect ratios and I can see what you’re talking about now. The shorter your screen is, the more this becomes an issue. Although on all of them it’s still only a single scroll so I’m not sure why you are being forced to scroll down twice.
It is yes, one of the reasons why I would recommend Firefox over Vivaldi (or any Chromium browser).
Vivaldi is very close, it’s only missing the FOSS requirement which I’m guessing is one OP would be willing to compromise on.
It depends how important the tab bar feature is to you. Firefox has pretty much every other feature you’ve listed there and would be my recommendation. Otherwise, Vivaldi has all of the functionality but isn’t FOSS and is potentially less private. It would still be a lot better than Samsung Internet in those areas, though.
How are people affording having 20 subscriptions to stuff they probably barely use?
Who said they can? This will be an unpopular opinion because no one likes to admit they are at fault, but the cost of living crisis we are experiencing in Western countries is actually just a cost of spending crisis for some people. Some of those who claim to be “struggling” shouldn’t be, but they have never been taught how to effectively manage their finances and until now they’ve been able to get away with it.
I believe Private Internet Access also offers this feature if people need a cheaper alternative, although it comes with tradeoffs regarding trust and ethics.
