Try using a custom ROM on Android and you’ll quickly see.

Let’s use a protocol that shadily blocks everything google doesn’t like. Yeah, fuck that.

What’s with Lemmy and reposting really old things?

Eh, am from a country with 9mil people, and this society simply doesn’t get democracy. So being smaller is hardly any indicator that democracy will work better.
- Comment on Cable can't compete with 5G home internet, so it's cheating 4 months ago:
Yeah, travelling to Germany a few times, even data always sucks, both wifi and mobile. We joked that Germany has the beet economy in EU because the net is so bad people don’t waste so much time on Facebook…
- Comment on Cable can't compete with 5G home internet, so it's cheating 4 months ago:
It’s so weird to read these articles. I live in a shithole country, but even here fibre internet with 2.5gbps speeds is easily available… 5G ain’t bad but against it never feels replacing that kind of connection for me.
- Comment on User guide: End of Life (EOL) for Twilio Authy Desktop app 4 months ago:
That is true, though you could keep your password and totp databases separate theoretically. I’m not sure if keeping them in say separate apps brings much benefit if your phone/pc gets compromised though, as most people would have both available on their device… totp is more about convince, it’s never as secure as a hardware thing say yubikey.
- Comment on User guide: End of Life (EOL) for Twilio Authy Desktop app 4 months ago:
Keepass can do all, though TOTP support is not exactly what I’d call streamlined. Still works well nevertheless.
- Comment on Street Fighter Vs Mortal Kombat 4 months ago:
SF somehow feels more fluid? intuitive? to play than MK.
But neither allows the balls to the walls insane shit Mugen lets you to conjure! Or well, IKEMEN nowadays.

As usual, life is more complicated than a simple “sugar is always bad”. For some details, see this example : russhowepti.com/post-workout-haribo-gummy-bears/

Hearts of Iron 4, and Battletech 3062 Advanced.
- Comment on Imagine everything humans could accomplish if we were not a commerce based civilization. 4 months ago:
Currency is a natural evolution of commerce. Direct barter only works if the person selling what you need wants something you have.
Say you want to buy flowers. If the florist wants shoes and you only have bread or hammers to spare, then tough luck.
Any large society cannot function with such a clunky way to exchange goods/services. Currency is merely a proxy that allows both sides to trade their goods using a tool they both value similarly. Hell, some civilisations used giant boulders as currency… it’s hardly a new concept.

Removing the french language pack is always a good idea.

Depends on the bird type. Budgies live for about 7-15 years, for example.
- Comment on The first minds to be controlled by generative AI will live inside video games 5 months ago:
There’s a lot of cruelty potential too. In FNAF Security Breach, you can cripple a miniboss by ripping out her eyes, and you can listen to her lament the fact afterwards. Following on that idea, imagine how many gamers would use AI controlled characters to abuse them in creative ways if they reacted properly. Ooh, I can even chop the legs off!

He really deserved better. Societal momentum is tough to go against, and can easily beat one down… oftentimes literally.
- Comment on They're all dead now, I wonder who got the last laugh? 6 months ago:
Funny how Semmelweis got similarly shitty treatment for the same idea. Though he wasn’t so much as laughed at as much as beaten to death in a psych ward.
- Comment on Mind-reading AI can translate brainwaves into written text: Using only a sensor-filled helmet combined with artificial intelligence, a team of scientists has announced they can turn a person’s thou... 6 months ago:
LLMs don’t do this though, it doesn’t do a lookup of past SAT questions it’s seen and answer it, it uses some process of “reasoning” to do it.
The “reasoning” in LLM is literally statistical probability of which word would follow which word. It has no real concept of what it talks about beyond the pre-built relationship matrices between words and language rules. That’s why LLMs confidently hallucinate obvious bullshit time to time - to them there’s no meaning to either truthful or absolute bonkers text, it’s just words that should probably follow each other.
- Comment on Twitch updates sexual content guidelines amid ‘topless’ meta backlash 6 months ago:
Because everyone is trying to use sexy/sexuality to sell their crap and I’m absolutely tired of it.

That or mailbombs.
- Comment on Why Bethesda Responding to Starfield's Steam Reviews Is Part of a Rising Games Industry Trend 6 months ago:
Pretty much has to be boilerplate tbh, as they can only fish out a response from the preapproved can.

You can disable driver autoinstall I believe.

- Comment on When you think things are going your way... 6 months ago:
I still don’t get how would they not effectively stack in 1v1. You make the other player draw 4 and they have to skip their turn… which means you can just play another +4 again.
- Comment on Drivers Tend To Kill Pedestrians At Night. Thermal Imaging May Help. 7 months ago:
The law says, regardless of the speed limit, you need to be driving slow enough to react to someone suddenly stepping on the road. If you can’t do that while driving at the speed limit, you’ll just have to drive slower.
Taken literally, that means that since you won’t be able to stop if someone steps just in front of your vehicle, you should never drive faster than ~10kmph. Which can be a valid interpretation, but I doubt it’s going to be a widely accepted one. For example at least where I live, if someone steps in front a vehicle within breaking distance driving at the speed of the road’s legal limit, both pedestrian and driver will share responsibility (the exact ratios being determined by the exact situation).
- Comment on Drivers Tend To Kill Pedestrians At Night. Thermal Imaging May Help. 7 months ago:
It’s pretty real where I live. Pedestrians can get fined if you are being actively dangerous with it, and the fault can be actually theirs if they cross outside a “safe” location.
