As much as I don't want to believe it, it must be true. I guess development is cheap enough when you have foreign countries doing it for you

Literally just make ads less obnoxious, and/or make YouTube premium not stupidly expensive. That's all you fuckin have to do, YouTube, and you can cut a huge portion of the cat and mouse game.

algorithmae , to No Stupid Questions in Is there any significance to people using emojis that match their skin tone?

No, but having a blindfold on doesn't suddenly make it okay to punch someone

algorithmae , to No Stupid Questions in Is there any significance to people using emojis that match their skin tone?

Yeah you don't get it and never will, that's a shame

algorithmae , to No Stupid Questions in Is there any significance to people using emojis that match their skin tone?

It's still pretty light if we're considering the array of skin tones that are throughout humanity. If you weren't Finnish, but instead African or Indian or South American for example, maybe you wouldn't feel that yellow was representative of you and your people. Saying yellow is fine for everyone because you feel it's fine isn't taking into account the other billions of opinions in the world.

Maybe you'd feel differently if your country wasn't 90+% homogeneous with a light skin tone

algorithmae , to Technology in Censored: Last week, a writer on China's WeChat bemouned that a large part of information from the country's domestic internet had disappeared. Within hours, the writer's post had vanished too.

Reject modernity, embrace 13th century BC Chinese practices and write stuff down instead. They invented it after all, it would be fitting

Aww man I miss photonicinduction

algorithmae , to Technology in Chinese social media companies remove posts ‘showing off wealth and worshipping money’ while the gap between the country's rich and poor widens

China: let's get more money through glorious capitalism

Also China: wait not like that stop it

algorithmae , to Android in On Google pixel, is there a way to search ONLY locally when searching apps?

I like to use folders in my app drawer to organize them, maybe it's something you can try? I run an old version of Nova before they got bought out

algorithmae , to Android in On Google pixel, is there a way to search ONLY locally when searching apps?

I think this is a sign that you might have too many apps

algorithmae , to No Stupid Questions in How can I create an alter ego for publishing stories?

Similarly, I was reading about a music artist and it said on their bio that nobody knows who they are or their real name... They have concerts and make millions from sales, surely someone somewhere has to put their name down to send money to them?

Before you tell me about crypto, that's not how the real world works

Buy a new printer and cremate the old one, preferably with an exorcist supervising

algorithmae , (edited ) to No Stupid Questions in What is the General Consensus of Web3?

"The term "Web3" was coined in 2014 by Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood, and the idea gained interest in 2021 from cryptocurrency enthusiasts, large technology companies, and venture capital firms."

That tells me everything that I need to know.

algorithmae , to Technology in 224 Injured After Glitchy Diabetes App Drains Insulin Pump Batteries

Why does it need a connection to another device in the first place though? Silicon is tiny and cheap; all the logic, sensing, and scheduling could be done inside the pump.
