Peertube is a crazy impressive piece of tech. Just like Lemmy and Mastodon, it needs something to happen to push users over to it (or something like it). YouTube keeps doing stupid things like this, so one day users will be pushed away from it and the creators will have to follow or die.
Yeah pretty much. The privacy invasion of ad companies is terrible for sure, but the whole seeing ads all over the damn place in the first place is also annoying enough that even if they were somehow completely tracker-free I would still block them.
Android 15 beta... so it'll be available on phones, out of the box, without anyone having to build/install a custom, on phones actual normal humans buy in about 2030 then.
Yeah this pretty much. Why would I drive a car? it's a huge waste of money for absolutely no benefit to my life.
I've considered learning/getting my licence just to have it "just in case", that way at least if that once every few years thing comes up where I absolutely need a car and a taxi just won't cut it, I can hire one or something? but it's just kind of not come up yet.
What kind of battery life do you actually get? I can barely scrape a fully day out of my phone right now so anything similar to that is fine by me!
It sounds so weird to call "a few hours of walking" lazy but I completely get what you mean, and I'm all for it!
I assumed they meant the travel walk was probably within that time then they spent the other hours walking around the shops/market stalls etc. Which is pretty standard where I live! We're not a "walkable city" but we get the bus into town and then spend a few hours walking about buying stuff before getting the bus back. Like OP its doable by bike too, both methods work depending how lazy you're feeling and how many shops you want to go in.
Wake up the day after to find they've got half a T-1000 arm that's fallen over, with a huge mess of spaghetti sprouting from the top
I wasn't aware the calculator app used h.264/5, what relevance is that?
Heroic is amazing. Rather than running the crappy Epic client via Wine, you just install this native piece of software that then launches each game via Wine/Proton/whatever else and pretty much just works every time, complete with things like EAC
Wait, so instead of using tabs in your browser you just... put separate windows on top of each other, and use your taskbar/keyboard shortcut to switch between them?
Curious how they expect this to work for people who aren't even "paying" [with money or data] Meta users. Those people who never signed up for any of their services yet are still being tracked across websites via those social sharing buttons and the like. Are they supposed to pay Meta to not hoard their data from all the other websites, despite never setting foot on a Meta site?
Is "Hey Siri, skip this track" really any better than just, reaching up and tapping your earphone?
Murena Fairphone
That's awesome, never heard of this! I was referring to the stock Fairphones, which are absolutely Google-filled. But if someone is reselling them with all that crap stripped then that project is for sure worthy of recognition.
Their mission is amazing but I'm not going to sit here and pretend any Google-laden Android isn't also ad-laden.
Well, that's fair. You're an absolutely miniscule minority of Android users though
It's not like you're outside for long enough for your feet to get manky. If there's dirt on them just brush it off on your doormat and carry on. The point of not wearing shoes inside for me is comfort, not cleanliness!
I never wear shoes in the house, and rarely wear socks unless it's really cold.
say I’m cooking all day on Sunday then need to take the trash out. I’m assuming it’s change shoes, then say the grandkids stop by and want to go go for a bike ride? I’m assuming it’s change shoes.
If I'm going on a bike ride then yes, I put shoes on (I'm not "changing shoes", because I had no shoes on to begin with). If I'm doing something quick outside like taking the trash out, I'll either just stay barefoot or maybe slip something like Crocs on if they're close by enough to be convenient. You know if your skin touches the ground outside, it'll be fine right? It also dries way faster than a sock or a shoe if you go out in the rain. It's entirely fine.
Yeah just looked it up and that's exactly what I was thinking of! Aside from the obvious technical limitations and the part where you probably couldn't teach average Joes to parachute reliably, I imagine the simple act of getting everyone to actually jump out of a plane is probably immeasurably difficult too. Like I know people who won't even walk across certain bridges because their fear of heights just won't allow it, getting someone like that to muster the courage to jump would be impossible.
