This is a very little uplifting news in the otherwise immensely sad dystopian reality that is Gaza right now. Fortunately there are still some people who actively show some humanity over there.
Seems pointless and inconvenient for me as they usually seem to be poor quality, and can you really listen to music in the shower, and are you showering long enough to benefit from it?...
Honestly, what more do you really need from a smart phone nowadays? And for this price, I’d buy it in a heart beat. Sadly, this will probably never come to Europe.
Right okay, not sure if we understand each other correctly but I don’t know how to explain otherwise since English is not my native language. I don’t think Voyager should have to keep 400 items in cache, it’s just that when you have a refresh button it’s loads updates of the current posts in the time line. But I guess tapping the posts button basically does that. It just doesn’t remember the position you were at that moment.
It just seems crazy to me given the power imbalance. A cynical part of me suspects that things are playing out exactly as some evil strategists hoped they would, which, given all the children dying, is super-depressing....
My experience is actually quite the opposite. In (real world) discussions I had so far I see that most people just talk about the horrific consequences of this war, with so many innocent casualties on both sides. People are often _not _ picking sides because this is such an old and complex conflict with atrocities perpetrated on both sides. Which imho is the most reasonable thing to do. Yes, what Hamas did on that festival and is it still doing is disgusting, but Israel’s response since then is equally disgusting. It’s just impossible to condemn one side while excusing the other.
I seriously doubt this. You have to be very conscious to fully understand what it is these large platforms actually do “behind the scenes”. Unfortunately the vast majority of people imo is either completely oblivious or even worse, doesn’t care. I mean look at the immense success of tiktok. Numerous warnings that it’s nothing less than straight-up spyware from China, yet half the world happily continues to use it.
Yup same. Although I could do with the silver subscription at € 2,29 a month, I still skipped it and moved on to the one-time paid Boost for Lemmy. Feel sorry for dBrady though. He put a lot of effort into making the best Reddit app imo and now he’s forced to charge his users and hand over 90% to those greedy a-holes.
And this makes it a bad app? Slight inconvenience and some less emojis? You’re right that it needs improvement, but I’ll happily accept this in exchange for not just another stupid big-tech company snooping around my personal stuff. I’m so fucking pissed at the constant privacy attacks from these evil ass holes
