suggesting proton mail and proton VPN
Lmao bad plan. Mullvad for the vpn. Idek for proton mail replacements but they’re 100% boot licking, proactively reporting “illegal” mail to the cops.

Hey cocksucker the crime rate now is lower than Jules ever got to in his drug addled terms. It’s lower than it was in 2010. It’s higher than De Blasio sure but Covid fucked up the status quo ante.
Facts don’t care about your fucking feelings. Get the boot outta your mouth

NYC has the lowest crime rate of any US major city by a lot.

I pay $100 for my eye exam and $150 for my glasses every couple years.
It would take 30+ years for that cost to reach the Lasik levels you paid, and that’s assuming I’m not doing anything with the $3750 remaining after the first appointment.
- Comment on Spotify Wrapped 2024 controversy explained — what you need to know 4 months ago:
Unfortunately they walled garden themselves pretty universally. I’ve been on Tidal since Spotify fired all those people and have been really enjoying it.
Maybe I’m crazy but I feel like their recommended music is also way better.
- Comment on Spotify Wrapped 2024 controversy explained — what you need to know 4 months ago:
This is happening because Spotify laid off half it’s staff and thought it could get away with it.

I pay for services (including lemmy - support your instance leeches) and use an ad blocker for everything else.
- Comment on YouTube devs be like 5 months ago:
???
There’s a lower cost ad plan for YouTube music is that what you mean?
I thought everyone wanted YouTube premium without the music. That’s the ad plan: it shows ads on music because you’re not paying for ad free music.
- Comment on Signal gets new video call features, making it a viable alternative to Zoom, Meet and Teams 5 months ago:
I’ve been an android developer for a decade at this point, I’m aware of how app deep links work.
The comparison is not “what LOE is call linking from scratch” but rather “how does call linking meshing into existing production codebases across all platforms compare in LOE to 3 buttons?” And the answer is self evidently more.
You’re minimizing the amount of effort and were comparing it to buttons. Adding “a few buttons” is very different than setting up 3 platforms to all use a new protocol (calls from links will require new handling - previously all calls were just based on authenticated users being allowed into webrtc calls based on their tokens. Now you have to have a new handler which joins a call with the token in the URL - that can’t be handled identically). Then we get into the Android app, much of which is still in Java, which uses multi-activity-srchitrcgure meaning you’ve gotta pass data through each layer manually, rewriting each of these activities to accept the new deep link and route to the right end.
And then you’ve got to be sure it all coordinates across iOS, Android and your backend.
It’s not hard but it’s not “a few buttons”. It’s probably 2 weeks of work for skilled and competent engineers, 1 per platform.
Do you actually have any experience in Mobile dev? You sound like a fresh outta college junior eng - cocky and confident that everyone else is wrong, making it harder than it needs to be etc.
Just like that cocky junior eng you’re too unaware of what you don’t know to realize you’re wrong. Wade through the grass a few times and you’ll realize the flowery meadow is full of snakes.

Call links are a lot more work than “a few buttons”

All of the Soviet Union’s uranium came from Kyrgyzstan?
I thought Czechoslovakia was a huge uranium source for the Soviets as well?

Zoom ai transcriptions also make things up.
That’s the point. They’re hallucination engines. They pattern match and fill holes by design. It doesn’t matter if the match isn’t perfect, it will patch it over with nonsense instead.

The original community was namenerds and digging through the original poster’s submission history I’m seeing some pretty bad poetry, 90 day fiance content and grieving the death of their parents: all spread out across the past year.
… I don’t think it’s a shit post.
- Comment on CNC Kitchen – What is the best way to dry your desiccant? (microwave) 5 months ago:
Gotcha. The other issue with microwaving it on high settings is they burst releasing a dust of silica and indicating color, neither of which is good to breathe. If you’ve got good ppe and ventilate you should be fine.
It will kill the color changing effect tho
- Comment on CNC Kitchen – What is the best way to dry your desiccant? (microwave) 5 months ago:
The video specifically calls that method out as dangerous and toxic.
Microwave is fastest but you’ve gotta do it at an extremely low power setting and he recommends not using it with a food microwave

That’s less an endorsement of PWAs and more a condemnation of how garbage the native app always was.

As someone who previously worked at Google - they didn’t have any antiunion propaganda.
They just, like, paid well, had top tier benefits, great perks, and had a good work life balance.

Note: the latest pixel fold is about the same size and weight as the pixel 9 pro.
It’s actually kinda incredible that it is that light.
