So you’re part of the problem or… have no access to information. Do you realize how much more data Google has in some places? I contribute to osm every now and then but still use Google maps for navigation, it’s not even comparable.

My current phone is an Xperia but Sony is slowly pulling out of Europe. They’re not sold in my country anymore and I don’t know if I’ll be able to get one when I need a new phone. Sony is not exactly a reliable company.

In the specs

I love that fairphones have kept the SD card slot. Now make them a bit smaller and they’d be perfect.

Or, following your metaphor, we think cars are useful but don’t want everything to turn into American suburbs. Which seems to be what companies are currently pushing AI to.

The services themselves will probably be made to ask for verification and your devices will answer through the age verification app. Since custom mobile OSs (or desktop Linux) won’t provide hardware attestation, the app won’t work on them and the websites will treat you as underage. The types of services that require age verification aren’t specific, they can change based on EU decisions so eventually people not using “approved” OSs may be locked out of most of the internet.

I think if a book is captivating enough, the environment doesn’t matter too much. I do most of my reading in public transport, usually standing and reading on my phone. You can hold your phone in a way without slouching or your hand getting tired.

For books that are really demanding I may prefer reading at home, sitting on a chair or the bed. But I can’t read while lying down, it’s either super uncomfortable or I fall asleep. Physical books are nice when they’re small but I’ll still prefer the phone.

No notes or anything like that, maybe some underlining that I’ll forget to get back to afterwards.

DDG for everything but especially searches in other countries (using the country toggle).

Google for images and super localized results.

Yandex for reverse image search (yes really).

What’s more interesting, it seems we don’t know exactly what the loophole was because it was never published. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gödel’s_Loophole

If only they paired them up with something more interesting than EU buildings

I wish they included a custom feedback box for each design or at least some more options. The checkboxes don’t really convey what I was thinking. What does it even mean to “personally identify” with a bank note design?

More likely to happen than women’s clothes with pockets

The tip is usually 5% because it’s the smallest option. Whatever tip culture exists in Europe is usually in the form of rounding up or giving a couple of euros. 5% at a restaurant can be more than what people would normally tip.

Second hand clothes: thrift shops are a much better experience than regular clothes shops. Instead of getting the same 5 pairs of pants/shirts in slightly different colors and multiple sizes, you get a huge variety of styles and just have to find something that you like and fits well enough. I started buying jeans from thrift shops when high-rise pants got popular and EVERY other shop sold only high-rise jeans. Plus, if the clothes have been worn before you know they won’t desintegrate the first time you put them in the washer.

That should be possible, I never cared enough to try

You can always ignore them and install your own apps. The problem is that it doesn’t let you uninstall them and they take up space for no reason. For what it’s worth, some of Samsung’s default apps are better than Google’s.

I doubt anyone would see the old posts after they’re edited. The second point makes sense I guess.

Yes, the ones you mentioned. At least these accounts and threads are not always deleted. It’s happened before on lemmy that multiple posts get made on the same topic by new accounts and then both the post and account get deleted. I remember similar around last year so it’s not new.

What I don’t get is why. This time some of the posts are actually interesting and generate discussions but the OP never interacts with any comments. What do they gain from this?

Next time you can try writing the steps down in plain English first, just to get a feel of the program’s flow. If you’re comfortable with that and it’s just the syntax you don’t remember, don’t worry, you can always look up commands. After some practice it’ll become much easier writing the commands from the beginning.

This feels like such a waste but if there really aren’t any dumb tvs around anymore, oh well
