  • "A delinquent guy likes a chubby girl for who she is but he’s worried about her health cause she’s eating nothing but unhealthy food. So he starts making lunches for her so her diet gets better and then romance begins"

    This sounds pretty wholesome, can someone who's reading this comment on if this might be going the "eating healthy = dietying = fat girl is going to turn into thin, conventially attractive girl"? That would suck and I dont wanna waste my time with that ...

  • Im petty sure you don't need to root a phone to install a custom ROM nowadays (unlocking bootloader, yes. And it is obviously more work installing a custom ROM than buying one that comes with it preinstalled).

  • I've always had a bad feeling about them since I read a pretty damning critique years and years ago (I can't really recall what it was about now but I think it was privacy fuckups, devs not communicating very well and they included apps from rather shady sources from then internet that could potentially to not very tech-savy people installing malware through their official apps store).

    That they somehow managed to fuck up their own cloud infrastructure recently (as others have hinted had) doesn't really make me hopefull that they changed much from back then. Mind you I now next to nothing about this incedent but if you have a service that potentially thousands of people rely on with their data you should have working backups and rollbacks in place.

    (Personally I also just can't deal with the fucking branding, it just looks pretentious, unsearchable and weird.)

    I would (and have) just always gone for Lineage and MicroG with F-Droid/Optanium for FOSS apps and Aurora for the few Google Play Store apps I need. Plus Netguard as a firewall.

    Here's a very in-depth German review of a pretty well-respected security researcher on the not-so-stellar privacy aspects of that ROM:

    I'm pretty that Lineage does not fare much better, though. If you're into privacy the only real option seems to be GrapheneOS which only runs on Pixel Devices 👌

  • Jitsi, Nextcloud Talk and Signal are all very good options (if you don't need screenshare with desktop sound (e.g. a watching a tutorial video with sound), I haven't found a FOSS solution that can do that - though tbh it's been a while since I tried it with something other than Signal)

    And Bandcamp once you can afford it since most artists earn next to nothing from Shitify. And or buy merch, go to their concerts etc.

  • Can we start making it a thing to write how many percent that is of their yearly profit? I have no idea if that's just peanuts for them.

    ...

    Looks like it's not even peanuts:

  • Deutschland / Europa hat ja schon noch (haupts. dank Dsgvo) den Ruf leicht weniger scheiße zu sein als andere Teile der Welt was Privatsphäre angeht. Wenn Schland jetzt ernsthaft Vds einführt wär das schon was, das international bekannt sein sollte, weil es diesem Ruf entgegenstehen würde.

    Basically doing a variant / slim version for my needs

    I would advise against using dates in file/folder names for almost anything except for maybe photos and documents. Always pair with searchable keywords. Will you remember when exactly you downloaded that random picture when you wanna find it a few years later? Have fun looking through a hundred /year/month/day folders.

  • More the latter, I organise mostly by type (movies, series, music, podcasts, comics, books, photos, images etc) and use (workfiles, documents, resources, tutorials etc). There's was a whole subreddit about this, datacurator, not sure if something similar exists on Lemmy.
