Tilda, because I like how I can drop it down my screen anytime by pressing one key if I need to use it.

I was gonna say this as well. You can go 2 opposite directions. You can go for a country like Switzerland which has a lot of privacy rules in place. It generally protects you from malicious non-state actors. But you can also go the other way with a developing country whose government does not have the means or capability to monitor you. The tradeoff is your data on government systems is probably already compromised, just not by the government itself.
Don’t forget they won’t help you until you spend a couple of thousands out of pocket first.
One of the servers I’m in requires a phone number in order to post and comment. Glad I never added my number in the first place. OP, I hope you can eventually get your number removed.
Yeah, I think a lot of the people who are against are the ones who don’t like the ad-removal model, because you are paying to remove ads on an app that uses a platform whose foundation is built against ads and tracking. The subscription model or one-time payment for life is fair IMO; people are free to support the dev (and please support the lemmy devs and instance admins too!). It’s the ads (and tracking that come with it) that’s kinda weird.
Lol I have the exact 3 beta apps on my phone that I use alternately. You can also add the desktop web apps on there too. I’m on a desktop browser 80% of the time, so I use alexandrite as a front-end.
The person at the DMV was confused why I was staring blankly (actually not, just a neutral expression) when taking a photo for my license. She told me that it’s ok if I wanted to smile. It’s weird how you’re allowed to have a non-neutral expression on driver’s licenses in the US.
Then they bring up some common criticisms of WFH, which I’ve seen and refuted since I started working from home 2009: People can’t communicate, working in groups is harder, and people can’t control themselves. Yawn.
Exactly. I work for a global company, so the way I communicate with the people I work with everyday is via zoom. What’s the point of commuting to an office just to get on zoom anyway to talk to people?
I hope Apple and Google remove all references to the twitter name on their app stores so nothing comes up when people search for it.
The statement about people trust corporations, not people is valid; that’s why I stopped using the “don’t have doors” and “let me see your phone” argument because people will think it’s different in that you personally know them, instead of some faceless corporation collecting your data.
It got me thinking of a better example, and the one I came up with is baby monitors and home/door cctv cameras. A lot of companies providing those services lack any kind of security in that anyone can potentially see your camera live feed on the internet. Not that anyone’s watching, but someone could if they wanted. So if you’re not hiding anything, would you be fine that your baby monitor can potentially be used for whatever reason even though no one in your social circle can’t “see” it?
Thanks for all your hard work on this. I’ve used lasim to transfer my subscriptions to my other accounts on other instances when the lemmy.world downtimes happened last week. I love the portability of the tool.
I think Elton John testified in Spacey’s trial and sorta corroborated Spacey’s alibi that he was somewhere else when the assault in question happened. I didn’t really read much into it but that’s how I understood it. Anyone correct me if I’m wrong.
I’m seeing Oppenheimer on IMAX later today and I’m already dreading the Nolan sound design. Is it bad? Hopefully not Tenet bad?
I remember a couple of years ago someone from high school (2 years ahead of me) messaged me out of the blue. I never really interacted with that person even back in high school, and their opening message was asking if I had zoom. Checked out her profile and as expected, MLM.
I’ve seen this story several times now, and it’s probably true. Unfortunately there’s nothing else but the anecdotal story and I wish we had more corroboration from other former employees.
Wow Bunsenlabs. Now that’s a distro I haven’t heard in a while. lol. I used to have it on an old laptop many many years ago.
I didn’t worry. I just download Ram Booster to fix that.
I think they weren’t implying it’s the best option, just that it’s the lesser evil. You can definitely go for some other foss options or a separate satnav entirely, but Apple Carplay works on most cars without requiring additional software or tools. Obviously OP will have to buy an iPhone.
I finally joined the club and got a 34” curved monitor this month. Pretty good so far. It has also cleared up space on my desk instead several monitors taking up most of it. I still use my laptop as an extra screen to the side though.
It’s basically forum discussion vs microblogging, and they are different types of social media. I myself prefer a forum type format because the focus of discussion is on a topic and doesn’t need my identity to be involved in. It’s also hard to maintain a conversation on a microblogging format when many people are replying to each other at the same time, unlike a forum where there are nested threads. It’s the reason I never got into twitter.
I did try mastodon because it was on the fediverse, but stopped posting after 2 weeks because I couldn’t think of anything interesting to post and it was hard to follow conversations with other people. It was also weird knowing there were people “following” me and will see everything I post.
