- Comment on Senators demand ICE cease use of facial recognition app 4 days ago:
Well it would help if voters and more importantly non voters did their job. Til then online bitching is useless.
- Comment on Roku wants you to see a lot more AI-generated ads 4 days ago:
I block it all at the firewall but would love to find something else.
Kodi is too finicky and not nearly as easy as roku. Debated using bazzite with waydroid and maybe that would work without Google services but unsure.
- Comment on Google: 'Your $1000 phone needs our permission to install apps now'". Android users are screwed - Louis Rossmann 2 weeks ago:
And it’s not surprising he has that answer. I don’t think I’ve seen but one video from this guy but it was him talking about how that lead Dev from graphene was harassing him. And up to that point he was super big into graphene apparently.
- Comment on Let Google know what you think about their proposed restrictions on sideloading Android apps. - Android developer verification requirements [Feedback Form] 3 weeks ago:
At this point I’m ready to be an early adopter. I’m so tired that Im willing to do that.
- Comment on Homarr - A modern and easy to use dashboard. 30+ integrations. 10K+ icons built in. Authentication out of the box. No YAML, drag and drop configuration. 4 weeks ago:
No thanks. Yaml isn’t perfect but by God json is best used to return and parse data, not input it.
- Comment on SEC says it will deregulate cryptocurrencies with 'Project Crypto' 1 month ago:
I mean, global economy really. Crypto has the potential and already fucked a few banks when it shit itself which could’ve led to awful bank runs.
If/when it destabilizes the American banking system the entire global economy will follow its lead down, at least a bit.
Like I don’t think people understand how devastating letting a scam like this into proper finance can be. Finance itself already has way more latitude than it should- wait until this just splits everything wide open.
- Comment on I'm never going back to Matrix - Terence Eden 1 month ago:
It’s a good app. Sadly the price of entry puts people off.
- Comment on Another Google Pixel 6a catches fire after battery-nerfing update 1 month ago:
I too don’t understand why you would be responsible for THEM breaking the screen.
Imagine your mechanic breaks a part while changing your oil then says you’re responsible for the cost of it.
- Comment on People who have been in meetings to determine back to in office policy. What was the discussion like? 1 month ago:
I gotta be honest- sounds weird you weren’t already tracking output already.
Like was output before wfh just “theyre in the office today”?
- Comment on Nextcloud and Thinkfree Office sign partnership agreement to add more choices for users - Nextcloud 1 month ago:
I use it and like it but at this point I just assume theyre working on a full rewrite in a language other than PHP. Go, Rust, whatever. Wouldn’t be easy as they need to rewrite a number of applications for it too but quite frankly seems like the next logical step.
- Comment on Self-Host Weekly (18 July 2025) 1 month ago:
I think what’s most telling is- if you use it then what do you care about putting “made with ai” on a flair? Are you ashamed?
- Comment on Wall Street’s AI Bubble Is Worse Than the 1999 Dot-com Bubble, Warns a Top Economist 1 month ago:
I honestly don’t think ai can hold out that long. It’s 2025 and the mood is already souring.
- Comment on OpenAI just launched its new ChatGPT Agent that can make as many as 1 complicated cupcake order per hour, but even Sam Altman says you probably shouldn't trust it for 'high-stakes uses' 1 month ago:
And produced with a shit ton of copyright violations, etc. Just about everything is immoral about it.
- Comment on HMD is ‘scaling back’ in the US, killing Nokia all over again 2 months ago:
Was useless when they dropped meego IMO.
- Comment on BREAKING: X CEO Linda Yaccarino Steps Down One Day After Elon Musk’s Grok AI Bot Went Full Hitler 2 months ago:
What’s awful is- I can find this news in other places using RSS. Not nearly as quick but… Who cares? Like wtf difference does it make?
- Comment on Fairphone announces the €599 Fairphone 6, with a 6.31" 120Hz LTPO OLED display, a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip, and enhanced modularity with 12 swappable parts 2 months ago:
Like I’ve said before- their market is small enough they should be trying to get everyone they can to buy it.
- Comment on Fairphone announces the €599 Fairphone 6, with a 6.31" 120Hz LTPO OLED display, a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip, and enhanced modularity with 12 swappable parts 2 months ago:
I never have to charge my wired headphones.
- Comment on Fairphone announces the €599 Fairphone 6, with a 6.31" 120Hz LTPO OLED display, a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip, and enhanced modularity with 12 swappable parts 2 months ago:
The sound quality on them blows no matter which you get.
- Comment on Signal – an ethical replacement for WhatsApp 2 months ago:
Forgot- you gotta add their repo.
- Comment on Signal – an ethical replacement for WhatsApp 2 months ago:
Fair. There is Molly on fdroid if you like.
- Comment on Study: Remote working benefits fathers while childless men miss sense of community 2 months ago:
Imagine being this vitriolic in response to someone’s personal anecdote.
The person you responded to said they did find a sense of community like the study describes. Nowhere in there did they argue that anyone should be forced to go back to an office nor even that an office spot be made available to people.
- Comment on AOSP isn't dead, but Google just landed a huge blow to custom ROM developers 2 months ago:
For traveling I find it much easier to just buy an esim
- Comment on AOSP isn't dead, but Google just landed a huge blow to custom ROM developers 2 months ago:
I really want to give furios phone a shot. It’s apparently close to supporting my carrier.
That and a sailfish phone. The community one though didn’t support my carrier (think it’s mainly EU specced only.)
- Comment on Shooting an unarmed woman who was just trying to walk home: just LAPD things 2 months ago:
Didn’t take long to tie actions under a Republican admin to Democrats. Par for the course.
- Comment on Jellyfin 10.11 RC1 Released 3 months ago:
I’ll be honest, Im not sure why theyre not releasing this as 11.x.
This seems to be a major update. From what I can tell there are API changes, plugins might not work, your entire db is converted to another format, etc.
I’m excited for it and thankful for all the work- just seems so big that it should be tagged 11.0.0
- Comment on Trump unveils plans for 'Golden Dome' missile shield for US 3 months ago:
Money will go to businesses who will get him a cut.
All a big grift. Same with that dumbass wall.
- Comment on ‘It’s real y’all’: People are sharing their tariff receipts, and my wallet is not ready for what’s coming 3 months ago:
“Thinks” is being quite generous here I feel.
- Comment on LibreOffice: We still see people on the fediverse recommending OpenOffice, despite it having year-old unfixed security issues 4 months ago:
There’s a ton more too. It’s quite surprising how many projects that have. Isn’t Cassandra theirs too?
- Comment on Several phone brands rumored to be planning a major shift away from Android 4 months ago:
All I want is unified push really. Then you just choose your server or host your own.
- Comment on 34% of the US population doesn't vote. Why do polticalitcians cling to the idea that these voters can't be reached? 4 months ago:
Self fulfilling prophecy.
