Could just write your tweets in notepad you know. If you don’t want anyone to see what you do.

Oh yeah, I don’t have an issue with them ruining their devices. I just have them locked down because I don’t want them to have free use on the internet. So much mindrot on there…

I’m very happy my 12y old kid can’t just sideload shit nilly willy. He legit Googles minecraft hacks and downloads random apks and stuff if he gets the chance)

(his phone is also fully locked down with parental because a 12y old should have free reign on the internet, but that’s beside the point)

The blade runner soundtrack is my go to relax soundtrack. Have listened to it thousands of times by now.

Ofcourse not, I also use fdroid and I sideload a shitton of apps. But Google is not killing off alternate stores, they’re just making their store safer. My whole point is that this change is not that negative. If anything it’ll have a positive effect on non tech savvy users. It’ll save me time by potentially causing less issues on the devices of family members.

That final part isn’t really Google’s fault no? But just the devs cutting functions?

Yeah, I read it. Didn’t think much of it. Are those apps that common? Don’t use them, as my browser can read pdf and text files.

Sounds more like some fringe apps will get caught in the cross hairs. Still sounds like a good change for the average end user. For the average power user, it won’t make a difference imo.

I mean, I know lemmy has an open source hardon and hates anything walled, but is this really such a bad thing? Google is getting rid of a bunch of shitty apps and risky apps. Nothing is stopping you from still sideloading them if you really need them.

I really fail to see the actual issue aside from “google bad”

I’ll never understand the people that have their photo archive linked to a chat app.

Where I live, line is the de facto standard. Soooo many people don’t use any backup and just count on line to manage their pictures. Some dude went viral for losing 10years worth of family pictures when he went from iPhone to android. Line is a shit all that doesn’t do any migration past 14days when changing os.

Just use Google photos and never think about it again? Or use self hosted stuff if you don’t like the cloud. But for the love of God, don’t count on the chat app…

I gave up on Linux when the repository for my Logitech mouse dongle stopped working 3y ago. Why couldn’t I get something as simple as a fucking mouse dongle work instantly blew my mind. Never bothered trying Linux again since.

Too much Linux evangelism here on Lemmy. Linux is absolutely not as user-friendly as Windows is for non techy ppl.

Try last epoch. Got it last week, it’s really scratching that Diablo itch without being as complex as path of exile. It’s not as visually polished as Diablo and the story is average at best, but the builds are more interesting, a loooooot more qol stuff and it plays just as well. I have very high hopes for the future of this game.

Japanese pay is quite low compared to eg the US. 10m jpy is a very decent income in Japan. You won’t find many people not in high skilled tech jobs or years of experience with it.

Avocado!

I know he’s been trying for a few years at least and he still hasn’t caught it. I don’t have high hopes for him.

One more endorsement for the link bud s. Seriously underappreciated in ear buds. They are ridiculously comfy and sound quite well on top. + you don’t look like some weird scifi character. They are very discreet inside the ear.

It literally takes 1h max, and the majority is done automagically. Setting them up is the least annoying part of it all…

Deadwood, so much. It was so good.

Carnivale is another one up there.

Full agree with this. I’ve used many different buds, linkbuds s are by far my favorite. The fit is excellent, they are very discreet visually and they sound great. Battery life is perfect, anc is great etc. I really cannot think of a single negative about them.
