Young child displaced from Mariupol shares their optimism
  • Heads-up warning to occupiers: you will never feel safe in Mariupol if you stay there . That child and many others will come back again and again , their own children too...

    See Israel, it lasted over 19 centuries, until they came back. See Palestinians, they still try to get back to their land and fight for it, israel isn't safe and won't be for eons.

    Do you want your children and their own children to live in fear.

    Don't stay there, it's only going to cost all of you more. Leave before you get acclimated to those territories. Before a Russian child calls this foreign land his.

  • If the fairphone good for privacy/degoogling?
  • Cannot see modules for sale in the shop which is rather strange for a modular phone. There is no details of their sourcing concerning rare earth parts . They push the recycling part real high when their documentation shows 450 Kg/year of effective recycling, where does the rest of their current devices come from? Finally They push consumerism quite far in their shop with their bundle buy our current phone and you get a free upgrade towards the next one we launch.

    And what about the bikes they also make and sell? Making one type of good product in such a niche market should be focusing enough not to be distracted in making other household products with vastly different supply chains, especially when you aren't a multi-billion conglomerate.

  • If the fairphone good for privacy/degoogling?
  • Except you get the firmware updates for the included Qualcomm SOC for way over the regular 3 years, you get very cheap parts for ALL components, full component and electric schematics ( Louis Rossman recently made a video about it).

    You don't get much of that at once with a drop shipped phone or big brands either.

  • Russian propagandists are worried about the next sanctions package and freezing of Russian assets.
  • The seizure of Russian owned assets isn't stealing as she says, it's applying the same methods as the owners of those assets have against EU and US companies since the beginning of this war. I'm pretty sure they will be compensated by that one symbolic Euro, to keep the mirror image going.

  • Is there a Way to Use External Wi-Fi Antenna in an Android 11 Based Phone Whose own Wi-Fi Chip isn't working?
  • It's usually just the antennas that got very slightly out of their sockets. Look for a how to get it openned and press the antenna wires (they should be the only real round, white plastic coated, wires you'll see) back into their sockets. And you'll be good to go for a few more years.

  • Google Messages takes a step against screen sharing apps to prevent frauds and misuse
  • Or, serious idea too: only allow it through ADB and only get the adb toggle with warning but no explanation as to how to use it behind the 5 taps on version number.

    I'm pretty sure as soon as the instructions to get a banking app involves downloading stuff on a computer, connecting the phone, getting into cli...most people would have gone on to find the real app.

  • Google Pixel 8 Pro Tensor G3 Is A Disaster In Genshin Impact Gaming Test - YouTube
  • Because it's more optimised towards AI, you start off with an exynos chip which is ok for gaming and ok-ish as far as neural networks are concerned. The more you optimise it for AI tasks, the less easy it is to make it as available as it was before optimisation for rendering. So a G3 isn't meant to be architecturaly better at gaming than a G2, the goal is to be way better at AI, and unless there is a leap in exynos architecture, that should increase with tha G4... Until google get it's independant chip designs around ARM achitecture going. Until then they have to work within the limits of exynos limitations.

  • Murena 2 is a de-Googled Android phone with a privacy kill switch that disconnects mic and camera
  • Fairphone uses Qualcomm snapdragon chips but they don't use chips made for mobile phones, it's chips for industrial use they buy, so the secure element might be missing. The reason is: they are supported for way longer which allows fairphone such long update periods. The shortlist of other phonemakers who can do the same are the ones who design their own chips: Google, Samsung, Apple.

  • The Duolingo owl is done messing around
  • That's a motivator right there. All those sports/learning/chores apps should have that kind of challenges.

    Forgot to do the dishes? watch as NK recycles Hamas tactics. Didn't mow the lawn? See your hometown obliterated by a rogue nuke.

  • The SBU neutralized a gang that was terrorizing residents of Kirovohrad and Odesa regions using weapons and ammunition left behind by Russians
  • If they were wearing uniforms of a country you are at war with, they should be sent back to that country in the next prisonniers exchange. (Or shot on sight, but too late for that now)

    No use wasting taxpayers money on that when there are bigger things happening.

  • Deleted
    FOSS SMS App?
  • Google deprecated both AOSP phone app and AOSP messenger app a few months ago. Normally, there should be a surge in FOSS replacements for both apps as they are needed by ROM makers to have a good experience (also: i understand it's not necessarily the most exciting kind of apps to dev yet they are probably among the most risky privacy-wise to make)
