  • Google’s ‘Secret’ Update Scans All Your Photos

    Jump

  • It doesn't show in the app drawer, but I found it via the all apps in Settings.

    Go to the Settings App > Apps > "See all XX apps". It's called Android System SafetyCore, so it should be close to the top of the list. Tap on it and select Uninstall.

    Jump

  • I'm curious about this. I've got a Pixel 6 and noticed that the battery started going to shit about a month or so ago? I couldn't find an install date for SafetyCore, but it was listed in my apps. I've uninstalled it now. It'll be interesting to see if that was causing it.

  • I'd prefer something higher resolution, but it's got a bunch of upvotes. If the people seem to like it, I'm not going to remove it.

  • How do you feel about the outcome of the US election?

    Jump

  • Numb. Sad. Mostly numb.

    I was cheering for Kamala. I wanted the US to succeed. She had the big rallies, the celebrity endorsements, the polls were saying it was neck-and-neck. It looked like sanity was going to prevail. Then Trump just basically sweeps it and it's like...oh. It's easy to call the Americans "stupid" or whatever insults I've seen flying around the internet, but there was a vote. He won the vote. Over 72 million people think that Trump and the Republican ideology lines up best with their ideology. Who am I to argue with that? I don't agree with it, but I guess that's democracy in action. Regardless of what lies were told or what disinformation was spread, people overwhelmingly went out, voted for ol' Donny, and this is the result. That's how she goes I guess...? I don't fucking know anymore dude.

    My heart absolutely breaks for the people of Ukraine. I'm sure they'll lose their US support come January. They don't deserve that.

  • Dead city [artist not found] [1200x829]

    Jump

  • Hey dude - I won't remove this post because I'm a little late to the party and it's received a good number of upvotes, but in the future, please be mindful of the sidebar rule: "Images should be wallpaper size (at least 1920x1080, or mobile equivalent)." 1200x829 is a fairly low quality image to use as a wallpaper. Thanks!

  • Hey mate, thanks for the feedback! I'm trying my best to keep this place populated with content but there's only so much I can do. There's no restrictions on posting to the community (except for a few postings rules/guidelines, see the sidebar), so if you have a wallpaper preference or would like to see different types of content, please feel free to contribute and share. Cheers!

  • Have you ever coordinated your lock and home screen wallpapers?

    Jump

  • I've never really thought of coordinating them tbh but it sounds and looks like a neat idea. I've always kept the lock and home screen the same but lately I've been changing the wallpaper to roughly match the season. So right now it's a snowy mountains for winter.

  • Is there a sub somewhere between shitty food porn and food porn?

    Jump

  • You're more than welcome to post on shitty food porn. There's not a lot of activity and the votes will let you know if it's the right place (I don't remove posts unless they're breaking rules). It kind of has two interpretations - pictures of shitty food (self explanatory) or food porn that's shitty (ie bad lighting, bad presentation, etc).

    Or let me know if you start an "average food porn" community and I'm more than happy to link it in the sidebar of SFP.

  • ‘It’s quite soul-destroying’: how we fell out of love with dating apps

    Jump

  • I gave up on online dating last year and I won't be back. If that means I'll end up dying alone, I'm honestly more comfortable with that idea than suffering though anymore of the bullshit that's Tinder/Bumble/Hinge/etc. It's become such a miserable experience for both sides (men and women).

    As someone who had used online dating on and off for 10+ years, I can tell you one of the big problems - money and greed. I know it's always easy to just "blame capitalism", but I've seen first-hand the paradigm shift from an actual useful service (i.e. a way to meet people that you would otherwise not meet) to the blatant greed it's become. The dating apps are so obviously profiteering off people's loneliness it's fucking disgusting. Back before Match bought everyone up, these services used to actually be okay for what they were.

  • Periwinkle Question

    Jump

  • It's probably not the answer you're looking for, but depending where you live, periwinkle is considered an invasive species and it's generally recommended to plant something else.

  • Pothos N'Joy

    Jump

  • I always heard that pearls/jade and n'joy were slower growing varieties of the original marble queen. I found that mine started to really take off after I pruned it back and stuck a couple of fertilizer sticks in the pot. I've also got a marble and I gotta say, it's been keeping up with it growth-wise lately haha

  • In my opinion, that's way better dude.

  • 100% agree. I really enjoy the app and Kuro has done amazing work, but this logo misses the mark tbh. I'm definitely no graphics designer (just someone who knows enough to make shitty memes), but the alignment is all over the place with this logo.

  • Lemmy.ca defederated from Lemmygrad and Hexbear

    Jump

  • Lemmy.ca has been defederated from Lemmygrad ever since I've been a member (June), so that's not anything new. Looks like it goes back to at least September of last year.
