  • Spez (Reddit CEO) just put out an announcement talking about how they'll verify bots vs humans. Get ready for a wave of new users into the Fediverse pretty soon!

    Jump

  • Of course Spez won't make it sound like there's a problem. The problem is that they're slowly implementing ID verification. Soon, you'll have to provide your ID to prove you're a human. Spez's just trying to sprinkle in some "We don't want your data, we care about user privacy" BS to make the users feel safe for now. Google's doing the same thing by making it difficult to install apps from outside the Play Store.

  • Art in general is about showing your personality and how you see the world. AI only follows instructions and tries to do everything so perfectly that it becomes life-less.

  • Went from dual-booting Linux Mint and Windows to completely removing Windows and switching to Arch.

  • Phone backups?

    Jump

  • A lot of FOSS apps come with an 'export' or 'backup' options. I have a folder called Backup where I keep any app backup I need and use Syncthing to sync the backup folder to my PC. I also use Syncthing to sync my media folders and everything else to my PC.

  • Why?

    Jump

  • Customization and no bloatware. I also love tinkering and finding problems to solve, so Arch was the distro I went with.

  • This store in Libya has been blatantly selling pirated content for over 15 years.

    Jump

  • Has been. The store is still open. Though it's not as popular as it used to be. People have learned how to get pirated content online.

  • Today I learned @lemmy.ml

    TIL Girls of the Kayan tribe start wearing neck rings at around 5 years old. The rings can stretch their necks to a length of about 15 inches (38 cm).

  • My friend said that my house has one of the scariest bathrooms he has ever seen. I don't get it.

  • You can exit if you want, just make sure not to wake up anything in the process ;)

  • This Linux phone with Android app support has three kill switches for complete privacy

    Jump

  • The truth is, if it wasn't for data collection, these phones would be more expensive than this. So yeah, they are cheap compared to their price if companies didn't collect user data.

  • Big companies sell their expensive phones for cheap because they'll get their money selling your data and showing you ads. A phone like this won't get any money out of you other than the money you give when buying the phone. So it makes sense that it's pricey.

  • Look ma, no proprietary apps!

    Jump

  • Thanks for the link. I just made the switch to CoMaps because I'm tired of enshittification.

  • Look ma, no proprietary apps!

    Jump

  • I just ran the two apps side-by-side and barely found any differences other than some subtle UI changes. How exactly is it different? And how is Organic Maps being enshittified?

  • Why is it so hard to get friends to leave Discord, WhatsApp, Instagram, and others? Anyone else feel this?

    Jump

  • Thanks for the tip!

    Jump

  • It's Facebook Messenger and Whatsapp for me. I ditched the Facebook app a long time ago, but Messenger and Whatsapp remain on my device because no one wants to leave them. I try to keep my chats there as superficial as possible.

    Also, this is my first comment ever on Lemmy, so hi everyone!
