  For a multitude of reasons, that is a silly suggestion.

  What the heck is the open source equivalent of being able to manage the direct debits of one of my specific current credit cards?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Confirms Non-ADB APK Installs Will Require Developer Registration⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Say that to my banking and credit card apps (some of which don’t even have a web version for seCuRitY reasons)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Confirms Non-ADB APK Installs Will Require Developer Registration⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I think some recent EU proposals that make Google responsible for ensuring users can’t install malicious apps is what have caused this to happen though. I could be wrong but I think I remember hearing about that.

  Before i decided to ditch Chromium wholesale i originally wanted to try Vivaldi. I loved the customisation except for the strange omission of not being able to have the bookmarks bar only show on a new tab page. How is what is usually one of the only bits of customisation on a standard browser not in the browser lauded over for its customisation. Bonkers

  What’s higher education got to do with it? (I’m not American if that’s not obvious by the way)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And I won't delete them either for nostalgia reasons⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Aren’t American interns not paid, but instead “paid” with experience?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Once again, looking for PS2 game suggestions!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Road Trip Adventure is one of my favourite racing games. It’s like Disney cars before then. You get to drive around a world doing side quests outside of races.

  Driving can feel clunky and it feels really bad in the beginning, but most of it is due to the fact you start off with bad parts. As you upgrade your car the game starts to feel better and better as it goes on. Eventually you get parts to fly and go under water.

  …

  Also when it comes to final fantasy, there is no one place to start, each game unless a direct sequel (like X-2) they are all completely standalone. None of them are in the same world or universe. They share similar themes but that’s it.

  IIRC it was before the end of the first day too haha

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord customer service data breach leaks user info and scanned photo IDs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re not the first. The first one happened in the same week the digital safety act was put in place

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fear not, and enjoy this mere interlude to its fullest!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Because it was terrifying to be in a state of nonexistence. Thinking about not having what i currently have or even the fact that I’m very much likely not even going to have a state of being where i can even remember the things i had done in my life is truly fucking terrifying to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I use AI as an entryway to learning or for finding the name or technique that I’m thinking of but can’t remember or know it’s name so then i can look elsewhere for proper documentation. I would never have it just blindly writing code.

  Sadly search engines getting shitter has sort of made me have to use it to replace them.

  Then it’s also good to quickly parse an error for anything obviously wrong.

  No, I’m 2025 where a “small” phone is now 6x3"

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's shocking developer decree struggles to justify the urgent threat to F-Droid⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  • Carrying two massive slabs because a few apps won’t run on one of them

  • Having a second home because some nights you can’t sleep in one due to noisy neighbours

  Where the more simple solution would be:

  • Have a phone that can run all of the apps you need so you don’t need to buy and carry around a second phone
  • deal with your neighbours and sort stuff out rather than buy and travel to and from a second home.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's shocking developer decree struggles to justify the urgent threat to F-Droid⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m comparing the impracticality, not the monetary impact

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's shocking developer decree struggles to justify the urgent threat to F-Droid⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t like that my neighbours are noisy, guess i should get a second house for when they’re shouting

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Superhero stories have become less about saving people and more about fighting villains.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Enjoy, i still need to watch season 2

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Superhero stories have become less about saving people and more about fighting villains.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Extraordinary is a sitcom where everyone has a power. I really liked it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: You should enable peak refresh rate in Android⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I still need android otherwise i totally would be on one of those feature phones. I use a tiny unihertz jelly star at the moment in fact. And if course i would or the brightness in the lowest it needs to be to be able to see it. I don’t need to light a beacon for all to see

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PinePods Release v0.8.0 - "Mobile apps and massive perfomance bumps"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So it does the earliest episode of one podcast, then the earliest of another and so on. That’s what I mean. So it’s not just all episodes sorted by date because then any recent podcast with less episodes of an older one will not appear in the playlist for ages

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: You should enable peak refresh rate in Android⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never been over 60hz on a phone and my current “blissfully unaware of what I’m missing” state disagrees. Battery life over all. I think it still sucks we get Uber a days with of battery by default in phones still. I miss only having to charge like once a week.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PinePods Release v0.8.0 - "Mobile apps and massive perfomance bumps"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I fall asleep to podcasts (to help with tinnitus) the one thing that’s stopping me from going from my current podcast app is the ability to make a playlist and automatically sort the playlist so it alternates between podcasts starting with oldest episodes to the newest. Is that a feature with this? If not i might have to dip into some FOSS programming again when i get the time ;p

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah you can easily pirate any book, or even just get then free at the library. This just fucks over the authors and people who want to buy their books legally. People don’t buy books because they have to, they want to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft starts rolling out Gaming Copilot on Windows 11 PCs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My recommendations for starter OSs are bazzite if you really only care about gaming. Mint if you want a more general pc, and to learn more about standard linux-ey stuff

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Massive Attack Turns Live Facial Recognition Into Concert Commentary on Surveillance⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do we have a non-threads version of the video. Don’t know if it’s cause I don’t have an account but the video doesn’t load for me so all

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What first emulation handheld would you recommend?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For me my favourite has been the RG34XX the GBA looking one. Due to nostalgia and the fact that I mostly play GBA games, but it works great for PS1 and SNES etc too.

  I value silent buttons and a dim screen since I mostly play at night in bed beside my significant other and thankfully unlike most anbernics, this one is pretty silent compared to most. It could be better but manufacturers seem to not care about how silent or dim their handhelds can be so I often open up mine and mod them with foam and vinyl in specific places. Doing that to this one has made me pretty happy with it, whereas with my previous ones I never even really got close to what this one was like by default. Mostly thanks to them not using cheap clicky switches for the triggers.
