surely there will have to be “no smart glasses” rules
They have this rule for ebikes at the lake I love to walk and the kids are zooming by anyway. I think we’ll struggle to enforce it and that really sucks. I hope this fails. It’s hard not to be pessimistic about it, as much as I can see some legitimate use cases. I just don’t trust big tech with it, least of all Meta.
Heh…these days I kinda long for devices for for specific purposes again 😅 and I’m a software engineer.
Right, but this is the exact reason even Bernie refuses to use that word. Because then we are supposed to do something about it.
Buy refurb then, it’s what I did and it’s super fast. Returns are diminishing these days and your money will go further.
haha I’m with you here, though tbh this is something I would have cared about some years ago but these days with tech fatigue I don’t even mind the Stephen Hawking guidance (I usually have it off anyways).
Thanks for sharing this! I just started using OsmAnd for biking and missed this nice detail.
Google Maps would take me through some awful stroads pretty regularly, so I’ll be glad for a safer route even if it takes longer.
Oh I’m aware of the “Osm” meaning.
I still think it’s a bad name 😅 how does someone unfamiliar with OSM pronounce it? Why is there a tilde?!
Hey thanks for sharing this! I’ll try Bimba. I’m planning on switching to GrapheneOS soon so the less stuff reliant on G services the better, as much as I like the Transit app.
Edit seems like it’s a bit limited on its coverage, with little to speak of in the US :(
Was hoping to get Chicagoland metro area transit.
I’m not sure this is possible without crowd sourced data
The transit app is for public transit. Trains buses etc. I probably should have specified sorry!
But yeah there really isn’t a way around reviews I think I’m going to have to come to peace with that.
By your logic the *arr suite isn’t self hosted either since they rely on metadata cache servers.
In fact Jellyfin relies on external services for their metadata too!
Bit weird to pin it on an age generation
Obviously photoshopped shit like this is a bad look on real issues man come on.
There’s plenty of actual real trash urbanism you can share.
Hate to say it but it honestly doesn’t sound crazy hard to just block any instance that pops up. Yes it’s whack a mole but if it’s an automated script, it can just crawl through a backdoor instance and ban any domain it sees.
Like you, I value my relationships and by extension my mental health more than which messaging app I use.
I hate Meta with a passion and them acquiring Whatsapp is probably the most disappointing acquisition of all time to me, but I’m going to continue using it because my wife, family in Latin America, and world friends all use it. And being lonely and out of touch isn’t worth the satisfaction of knowing my data isn’t being scraped to me. Others in these threads always seems to disagree here, and they’re free to do that but it’s not a lifestyle I’m interested in.
I’m making changes where I can; I self host a server for my media, photos, files. I’m going to install Graphene on my phone soon. I’m interested in picking up a cheaper older phone to try a Linux mobile OS on. I have my phone auto connect to my pihole to block trackers when I’m out of the house, etc. But I know as soon as it’s something I have to inconvenience others with, it’s not going to work.
Pick your battles.
I’m on Mint.
T-Mobile acquired them, per the usual bullshit, but I get 15GB a month with unlimited talk and text for “$20” a month. The catch is that you pay yearly in bulk for that price. Had it a year and change. Been solid.
Hey thanks for looking! I was in a desktop browser earlier when I was having issues but I’m on a phone now. I was having more trouble on the desktop browser.
Howdy, Chicagoland area here. I love the idea of a “location-federated” social media so I migrated here from lemmy.ml.
Migration was smooth however I’m finding this instance to be quite slow to load pages, is it just me?
If you have a Mac, have you ever tried installing an app and have it refuse because it’s not signed by Apple, and then you had to go into settings and click “allow anyway?”
This is that, except without the allow anyway feature, like iOS. It doesn’t matter if it comes from the play store or elsewhere, as this story originally had us believe.
