- Comment on Robin Williams' daughter Zelda says AI recreations of her dad are 'personally disturbing' 1 year ago:
It’s not just a matter of discomfort for something new, but at something highly dangerous. Deepfakes have several bad and disturbing use cases, like itentity theft, sexual exploitation, marketing abuse, political manipulation, etc. In fact, I hard to find a significant good use of such technology.
- Comment on How Google's Pixel 8 Pro Will Change Smartphones Forever 1 year ago:
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.
- Comment on Phones should have FM radio again 1 year ago:
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.

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

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

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!

What about webview-based browsers in android phones?
- Comment on A new smartphone again? Rethink unhealthy culture of frequent upgrades 1 year ago:
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.

People told me that I could pick any server and it wouldn’t matter, but I noticed that not all the content in the communities I follow from other servers appear to me. It’s confusing.

- Comment on Reddit’s new Contributor Program will let you cash out gold given to your posts by other users in real money. 1 year ago:
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.
- Comment on 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. 1 year ago:
Those google apps are also the number 1 reason of phones getting slower over time and leading people to buy new ones. Fuck google.

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

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

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.
