Opt out? Opt in? Opt Green!

50% of consumers buy new devices due to unsupported software, while the "tsunami of " continues to rise.

can keep those devices in use and out of the landfill. Today!

Say hello to the new project ": For Sustainable Hardware".

You don't need new hardware for a secure, up-to-date device; you just need the right software!

Fortunately there are several brands now offering android updates for 5+ years.

jol ,

They are not pricey but have the specs of a phone 1/3 the price. But I still find them worth the price.

jol ,

As I said: they are worth the price. Did you read half my comment and and jumped to mansplain my own phone to me?

jol ,

I'm pretty sure they are legally forced to do this. Also, the moment you allow people to inherit accounts, you're inadvertently sanctioning account transfer and sale. They can't really enforce this amd they know it, so nothing really changed.

jol ,

Better setup some dead-man-switch ASAP just in case.

jol ,

What if you setup an account for a company? There's so many questions.

jol ,

It's just something poli people do you wouldn't get it.

jol ,

Was this news to you? Other than Google and Bing there aren't any other significant alternatives. Even brave is a bit limited.

How stupid do you have to be do to this?

iPhones And Androids Can Now Warn You of 'Secret Trackers' ( www.ibtimes.co.uk )

In a collaborative effort, Apple and Google have developed an industry-standard detection feature called "Detecting Unwanted Location Trackers" (DULT) for Bluetooth trackers. This standard allows users on iOS and Android devices to be alerted if an unknown Bluetooth tracker is monitoring their location.

jol ,

A geographically align fan

jol ,

I didn't think of that. It doesn't make trackers useless for preventing theft.

jol ,

Some airlines were trying to ban airtags in flights, probably for this reason.

jol ,

The locals are supposed to be able to also enjoy their home town

jol ,

Did you read the article? The tourists were damaging the place, leaving trash behind, and going into people's private areas. No one wants route tourists in their backyard, rich or poor. There's no lack of other tourist spots and view points to visit. .

jol ,

I mean, it's never the labrador that is in the news killing people.

jol ,

It's always good to have someone with a stupid opinion to unite everyone else.

jol ,

They do, and they have a backlog of hundreds of issues to fix and they must prioritise then. If fixing a bug doesn't make money, it's not priority.

jol ,

Even then, there are bugs that need multiple people (design, engineering, content, QA, etc) and are not something that can be fixed on a whim.

jol ,

The problem is that what users consider low hanging fruit is often not, and what is low hanging fruit for devs, is invisible stuff that users don't notice. The intersection is the tastiest low hanging fruit, but as such it's also rare and easily picked by anyone.

They are literally pirates?

I absolutely love milkshakes. I just wish they loved me more.

Is this what god feels like?

Just use literally any other kind of milk other than cow milk? 🤔

jol ,

Also it would me a massive global security issue if allowed to fall on malicious hands. I mean, other than the CEO's.

jol ,

I used to not care about ads in Google because they were minimal. I was OK with ABP "acceptable ads".

But I've since gone full scorched earth. Fuck them all, their trackers, their fake news, the terrible products. I'm still OK with ads in my search results (no longer using Google) because they are often relevant to something I'm looking for. But for the rest, the Web stopped deserving my respect. I don't consume that much content online, and I pay for most of the few things I do consume.

jol ,

Allegedly, this ws predicted to happen for years and both Mozilla and Google have been testing their browsers on iOS for years.

jol ,

"They". This Band of Theseus has changed over time and as far as I know only the lead singer reminded the same. The new songs are cool though.

jol ,

Even Canadians know they are the ones who sound funny.

jol ,

Depends on which client/website you use.

jol ,

For certain languages and frameworks, LLMs are horrible right now because of this. Many answers I get are a Frankenstein of different versions.

First case of highly pathogenic avian influenza transmitted from cow to human confirmed ( www.sciencedaily.com )

In March a farm worker who reported no contact with sick or dead birds, but who was in contact with dairy cattle, began showing symptoms in the eye and samples were collected by the regional health department to test for potential influenza A. Experts have now confirmed the first case of highly pathogenic avian influenza...

jol ,

Put the vaccine in raw milk

jol ,

Yes. 10 years go.

jol ,

Because when you have everything the money can buy, you become greedy for attention.

jol ,

That's not what non binary means. A drag queen is someone who cross dresses for performative reasons and identifies as a woman during such performances. A transgender person is someone who transitioned from one gender assigned at birth to the other. Non binary means they don't feel like they fit perfectly in neither man nor women, but something in between, or even something variable.

Trans people can be non binary because NB is also a spectrum.

jol ,

I don't understand the question. You are what you feel, that's what gender is, or rather how you perceive it. It seems like you're implying that what you feel isn't real, but correct me if I'm wrong. I am cis man because I was assigned male at birth and I feel like I'm a man.

jol ,

Ah yes, sorry if that wasn't clear. You can be both trans and non binary.

jol ,

Lol. You're the asshole.

jol ,

Tolerating intolerance leads to disappearance of tolerance.

jol ,

I agree that se is obvious supposed to be a boy, but I don't understand your premise. You can be agender and have a crush on a woman.

jol ,

For starters my parents would not have picked my preferred gender to mate with...

I created a board game alternative for evil people ( lemmy.today )

Guys, I have something to brag about. After almost a year of hard learning, I finally created my first mobile game! Storiado is a board game alternative that will make you wonder what's wrong with your friends. Play by answering simple questions, mix all the answers, and generate the most twisted story you've ever read. And then...

jol ,

Seems like a red flag to me.

jol ,

OPs flag is so red shifted it's invisible by now.

jol ,

Try living in a place that isn't a shithole and your face will fall so quick. Newsflash, car is the best option in a car centric system.

Starting to be suspicious like an alchemy circle around multiple cities...

Seven out of 10 Europeans believe their country takes in too many immigrants ( english.elpais.com )

Europeans view immigration with increasing suspicion. Seven out of 10 Europeans believe that their country takes in too many migrants, according to a survey carried out by BVA Xsight for ARTE Europe Weekly, a project led by the French-German TV channel ARTE GEIE and which EL PAÍS has participated in, as part of the countdown to...

jol ,

Probably because of those immigrants too. They ruined our grammar!

jol ,

How is that tradition? It happened one time. Successor name suffixes and prefixes used: super, color, advance, mini, 64, i, 3, new, u. It could be anything.

Edit: ah no, there was also super game boy, I guess that's the only one they repeated. But that was specifically for super NES compatibility.

jol ,

Who cares if it was underpowered ffs. I just want to play fun games.

jol ,

New 3Switch 64i

jol ,

I mean, they were direct successors. I imagine the next console won't be something completely different than the switch, so I imagine I will be some sort of switch 2.

jol ,

Oops yes I meant the micro, not mini
