eumesmo,

It would be nice if we could choose our bias. Sometimes, we might want it biased towards scientific sources, sometimes, towards user-generated content, sometimes towards institutional sites, etc.

eumesmo,

Do people still use Google search?

Google literally has more than 90% ofthre global marketshare gs.statcounter.com/search-engine-market-share

eumesmo,

Using fedora because back then, they were the only ones to support my hardware. Have been usinc it until today, by inertia. It’s a nice distro for everyday use though.

eumesmo,

But what’s the problem with having an analog component?

Also, your last claim is weird, because the headphones will ultimately require an analog signal, so, it just changes the place where the conversion is made, either in the user device, or in a digital circuit inside the headphones, and the cable diatance is small enough for adding interference. Your better sound experience is probably due to manufacturers making better sound actuators, not due to the digital data transmission. Try some really cheap bt headphones, and you will see what bad quality is.

eumesmo,

Well, thinking about it like that really puts things in a new perspective.

eumesmo,

Indeed, interference is the greatest enemy of analog signals. It’s not impossible to shield, though. Other parts are already shielded, but I can see how it could have become more challenging.

Btw, I thought it was more related to frequency than components size, but now I’m confused, I will look more into it when I have more time. Thanks for bringing this into the topic.

eumesmo,

I mean that we may think that supporting fm radio isn’t worth it, but, if it’s only a matter of software, it could be done without much trouble. For example, if the android ecossystem was truly open, this feature could be supported by the interested part of the community, allowing users who want the feature to have it, while not bothering anyone else.

eumesmo,

I was so hyped for project aria back then… It was so sad that it was discontinued.

eumesmo,

It would be the solution to phone obsolescence. This concept, paired with project treble would allow us to run our phones for as long as possible. Want a screen with more pixels? Just install one. Phone getting behind on specs?Change the cpu or add ram. Want a better camera? Just get a new one. At some point, the chassis would need to be replaced, but even then, you could reuse some of your installed conponents. It would be so awesome.

eumesmo,

You probably mean the relay servers. They are used in case your devices are behind a NAT and don’t have any ports forwarded. In that case, it would be impossible for devices on different networks to communicate over the internet, so the relay servers make the communication work. It’s not something to worry, since your data is encrypted when passing through it, but it can be disabled.

eumesmo,

It’s nice to see syncthing becoming more popular. It’s a great foss app that deserves more attention and can be used in so many contexts, replacing several proprietary and restrictive solutions

eumesmo,

And the poorer people find themselves having to trade their privacy for access to technology.

eumesmo,

Still far from easy for the average user.

eumesmo,

What about webview-based browsers in android phones?

eumesmo,

How do you do that? Teach us your ways.

eumesmo,

Looks like the best between being practical and secure. Too bad I suck at making knots.

eumesmo,

At one hand, I like lemmy for being smaller and cozier, but on the other, the possibility of reddit becoming unprofitable due to lost users is so awesome to be missed.

COME ON REDDITORS, JOIN LEMMY AND LET REDDIT ROT!

eumesmo,

Have you tried a rugged phone?

eumesmo,

Me too. my phone is from 2017 and I’m fine with it. It’s part of your personality, to preserve things. Associating personality traits to being “old” or to any stigmatized aspect in our society is a dirty trick to manipulate people (in this case, used to force people into consumerism). Just be yourself, and don’t feel bad about it.

eumesmo,

Just saving people a search: lemmy.ml/c/hydrohomies

eumesmo,

Until they make advertisements aimed specifically on autistic people…

eumesmo,

What do you mean by foss being orderless? Wouldn’t this concept be more associated with the development structure of each project?

eumesmo,

I just searched for that lib, in an attempt to help you with the supposed problem. I won’t deny, you got me there.

eumesmo,

With a youngish look and pale skin?

eumesmo,

Exactly my thoughts. People will start making the most exaggerated comments, seeking some money. I expect them to become like youtube covers and titles. Also, I expect the echo chamber effect to grow stronger.

Streptopelia decaocto (feddit.ro)

Simplicity is the highest form of sophistication. The Streptopelia decaocto is the bird that is said to have " wanted to conquer the world". Hence the high degree of adaptability in lowland, hilly or mountainous areas, from villages to the busiest cities. Thanks to the intelligence of adaptation and survival, the Streptopelia...

eumesmo,

What’s the lemmy equivalent of r/lostredditors?

eumesmo,

My introversion and social anxiety is so estreme, that self checkouts make me imagine what I would do if I mess up something, or take too long to finish, or imagine people observing me and the way I interact with the machine.

Damn, I got a bit of anxiety just by writing this. The feeling is similar to using a computer while there are people constantly looking at my screen.

eumesmo,

I guess you’re thinking about UAD (universal android debloat) tool. It has a nice gui, but you need adb enabled for it to work.

eumesmo,

Hey, don’t be hard on yourself like that. Sometimes things happen or don’t happen, and we don’t have a clue why. Time can pass so quickly and we can lose ourselves so easily.

But that doesn’t diminish you in any way. I know what I’m talking about. I lost the best years of my life, and no one will ever understand or have some sympathy for it. People are too quickly to judge or to give weird “advices” that feel much more like a kick than anything else. Our lives are so complex and can’t be reduced to simple encouragement words.

I’d advise you to explore yourself a bit more. Perhaps you’re restraining yourself somehow, perhaps you had a too restrictive environment, perhaps you have some undiagnosed condition (that was my case), perhaps something else. Sometimes we try to live life forcing ourselves to be what others expect of us, and we will fail so miserably, but we can live as who we are, and things start to improve progressively.

I hope I didn’t confuse you even more.

Ask Lemmy: Traditional vs natural mouse scrolling; which do you use?

Despite being a heavy cell phone user for more than 25 years, it only recently occurred to me that vertical navigation on most phones is inverted when compared to traditional computers. You swipe down to navigate upward, and up to navigate downward. I recently spent time using a MacBook, which apparently defaults to this...

eumesmo,

Curiously, I used to work teaching tech-illiterate elderly people how to use computers/phones and they always expected the behavior to be like natural scrolling. Perhaps, it’s indeed the natural way…

eumesmo,

I think they called it a “step back” in terms of being worse for the environment, because of batteries, etc, while a common bike can be used for years and years without creating additional pollution.

I hate how everything requires you to download a shitty proprietary data harvesting app nowadays when everything can be done just fine without an app.

I have recently started university and am required to use an app that has three Facebook trackers, one of them being a Facebook location tracker according to Exodus App Privacy, for the dining plan, when it would literally work perfectly fine using your student ID and ordering to a real cashier, LIKE HOW IT HAS BEEN DONE FOR...

eumesmo,

Can’t agree more. And the issues go beyond data harvesting. For example, recently, I lost my phone and carried on for a while without it, only to realize we’re building a society in which we are slowly losing our citizenship rights if we don’t have a phone. I found myself locked out from many things, and having to go so many alternate routes, that I had to get a new phone quickly.

It all happened so subtly, and I saw it happening, but still, it’s hard to believe we came to this point without the people manifesting some sort of opposition. I get even more worried about the developing countries, where not everyone can properly afford a phone.

eumesmo,

Me neither. I wonder if that’s even true, because i see a lot of people changing tastes with age.

eumesmo,

Those google apps are also the number 1 reason of phones getting slower over time and leading people to buy new ones. Fuck google.

eumesmo,

Don’t fall for the “it’s already bad, so it doesn’t matter” way of thinking. That’s how companies nowadays prevent us from fighting back for our rights.

eumesmo,

If you make it all, and in a small frame, I’m buying right away.

eumesmo,

Its a bit funny how I find that model to be too big. People like me have definitely been abandoned from the market.

But thanks for the recommendation. I ended up grabbing an older model that still works as a low end phone, but I wonder for how long I will be able to use older phones…

eumesmo,

That’s so cute >.<

eumesmo,

Maybe you could set up syncthing for the sync part.
