You are totally correct. There are billions of people on this planet who are dreaming of such a life.

It’s also really stupid to buy dog breeds with known medical problems. Surgery for your dog is not cheap. Your loved pet will suffer. Buy another breed without known problems

I totally agree. Stuff like Microsoft recall is not great and America under Trump neither, but it is nothing compared to North Korea. That is a hellhole nobody who grew up in a free western society really can even imagine.

I guess that there are two issues: First of all, you can find someone who can slap standard Android onto a standard device. Finding someone who can work with a raw AOSP is harder and will be more expensive. Which is exactly what you want to not do when trying to build a really cheap device. And Google has started to move more and more services and security updates to their own platform. Using AOSP is a really bad idea

We’ll, that here is exactly the issue. I do a price comparison on multiple sites before buying something expensive and Amazon is in most cases the cheapest supplier. I suspect that it is due to those illegal price control mechanisms that force sellers to offer the cheapest price there.

And that is kind of a bad situation for everybody: You can post “Don’t use Amazon”, but it feels really stupid to pay more money for the same product from the same sellers on other platforms.

I know what you are saying, but it is not so bad: First of all, most things people are doing at work is not really related to the OS underneath. So if you are responsible for creating passports, you are using the special government program for passport creation. If you are a policeman, you are using the special police software to do your policework. Yeah, you need additional training, but in the best case your usual software keeps working. Most people are not really interacting with the OS during their work day.

(and let’s be honest: Microsofts totally insane UI changes are also requiring lots of training. If you are used to just click on some specific buttons that somebody told you to click on, you’re totally lost in Microsofts crazy wonderland of ridiculous UI changes )

There is a hint of how he did this here: https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2023/06/12000-comments/

Google hosting their shit on Microsofts servers and telling you to sideload and not using their own software distribution method for their own OS is kind of crazy if you think about it

You can read the post here: https://feddit.org/post/12529640

There is nothing there containing a one state solution and also german law totally doesn’t prohibit calling for it.

And BTW: You have a autocorrect error in your post: “leave” vs “live” can lead to people misunderstanding your point.

You really should read the original announcement of the feddit.org mods, because what you are saying is absolutely not what the rules there are.

Yeah, let’s insult other users based on their instance. That is really helpful, will bring peace to the middle east and make the fediverse the dominant social media network in the world.

Please tell us more stories, that sounds entertaining :D

There is an animated spin off? How is it?

Does anyone know how orders for Boeing jets are going? Because that really screams “we are corrupt and don’t care if your plane crashes” and that may be something that the world’s airlines do not like.

I don’t understand how these kids get caught. They gotta be really slow or something.

I was caught 0 times as a teenager. My mom never found my porn.

Modern operating systems are different than Windows 98. You think that you’re sneeky and that nobody will find your porn folder and then your mom gets a “Popular files in your user group” mailing from “OneDrive Engagement” or a “Your browsing year wrap-up” by Microsoft Edge or a retargetting ad on the whole network because you looked at the Riley Reid fleshlight. Modern surveillance capitalism is really hard to escape.

The initial announcement is talking about “media” and I assumed that this did include music. That was my motivation to install Jellyfin and that works so great for me that I didn’t try to use Plexamp remotely

Sadly, you have to. Plex wants a subscription if you want to stream outside of your home network now

I’m not in Louisiana. It’s perfectly legal for me to do my own air quality measuring and I am totally allowed to publish them in the land of the free and the home of the brave Germany.

Take a look at the website:

It looks complicated, but basically you are ordering some thing from AliExpress, connect it via cables (no soldering required), flash a firmware via a software, register an account, put in WiFi data and put it in a box.

I really, really want to try them. I don’t have a use case for them (a flashlight works for me, too), but I want to experience how that feels.
