Technology@lemmy.world•GrapheneOS says Google is making life harder for rival operating systems and devicesEnglish
1·10 days agoI don’t think it’s a matter of knowledge, more of mindset. If enough people even cared, banks would not enforce any changes that would require to use Google play safetynet.
Btw, banks shouldn’t even need apps. A webpage with local storage (PWA) should suffice for 99% of banking stuff.

Sadly most people will get slowly boiled like a frog. People got comfortably numb and they want everything spoonfed. They won’t learn new things, they won’t wean off big services that make everything convenient.

371·29 days agoSeems more and more transparent that the only strategy Dario is pushing is to scare people so governments ban FOSS AI, that way most people would have to use “the safe sanctioned AI” (and pay through the nose for it).
I wonder if politicians getting lobbied are greedy as always or just retarded.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•How many times do you think an ant has killed a person?
8·29 days agoNot quite killed but managed to break my 90yo aunt’s hip. She went outside to take out the trash, saw an ant and decided to spray some insecticide to avoid getting ants inside, she bent over to spray, gave a step back, slipper caught on a loose floor tile and she fell down

Yup, too cold temp does that, and repeats the last token/word ad infinitum
I use a DAV integration to show a bunch of shared calendars and task lists (nextcloud, but I guess you can find a Google alternative if needed)
Events: stuff like doctors appointments, bdays, etc.
Maintenance: stuff to do/fix. Some are recurring events (like cleaning faucet aerators, aircon filters, etc)
Shopping: separate from HAs shopping list, this one is for stuff that might be handy to get, but not a priority (not groceries, but stuff like idk a new potato peeler)
On my main dashboard I have atomic calendar revive card from HACS with “upcoming events” as the default view

Technology@lemmy.world•YouTube's ad problem just got worse: Users now seeing 90-second unskippable ads!English

Edit: instead of making a snarky comment, I should probably do the right thing for fellow lemmings and explain:
I’m fucking old and I’ve seen this before. It’s the same model as it was with TV and Cable. Air tv becomes so ad ridden than when Cable comes “ad free” we all start paying and switch over. A decade later the “base” cable TV plan is so ad ridden that they come up with “premium channels”, so you sign up for that so you can watch a movie without 10 minute ad break in the middle or 4 minute ad breaks on series. Then channels start splitting into “base” and “premium” versions (e.g. Discovery or History). Base channel is now just RealityTV garbage.
I got fed up and started following creators on Google Video (then YouTube), Vimeo, listening to stuff on ShoutCast (that was winamp’s podcast/radio thing). Then Netflix comes out, decent service. Every other media company wants a piece of the pie. Slowly but surely every decent movie/series on Netflix gets moved to their respective production company’s service: disney, HBO, Paramount+… Netflix starts toying with ads, now disney…
Slowly YT starts adding ads on the sidebar, then in the lower third, then pre-rolls. Now there’s “premium bitrate” behind a paywall. At some point I said “fuck it I’m not playing ball anymore”. Why pay premium? it’ll be the same as it’s always been. Soon enough “premium” yt will be the only way to watch over 360p quality, they’ll lower a bit the cost of YT Premium, ppl will jump in and down the road they’ll add ads back.
I’d rather donate a buck to my favorite creators, it’ll be 100x more income that whatever they’d get off my views.
