  • What do you like about Lemmy? What could be improved?

    Jump

  • I think the biggest flaw lemmy has is the upvote/downvote system, same as on reddit. The arrows are used as an agree/disagree indicator, which buries unpopular opinions and rewards popular "low-risk" ones, thus creating the same echo-chambers we're all so tired of.

  • I'm saddened by the fact that I understand what this is about.

    I'm not American. I have no reason to know the context of this. I should not know about this idiocy. My attention has been hijacked. Every time I learn about something as stupid as this, I feel like I'm wasting precious resources. There are more important things closer to me that I should be worrying about.

    How I wish I could block out all this and enjoy a nice surf on the web without having my awareness polluted.

    Yeah... I'm a bit chubby myself :(

  • Some things were better in the good old days

    Jump

  • I remember when I was in uni, living on-campus in a student dorm. Living conditions were not great, the rooms were small and they stuffed 3 or 4 guys in each room. We each had a bed, a chair, a tiny wardrobe, a shelf and half a desk. No fridge. Each fall, when we got back to school, there was an effervescent market for old used refrigerators. Everybody was buying and selling fridges for the first 1 or 2 weeks. One year we bought a 50 year old Zil fridge made in the USSR in the 60's. We paid like €10 for it. It was heavy as hell and we had to carry it up the stairs to the 4th floor. The thing made a loud, continuous buzzing which helped drown out one of our colleague's thunderous snoring. We loved it. I don't remember what happened to it or who got to keep it after we disbanded, but I'm sure it still works.

  • Funny how android used to be what we now call FOSS

  • I wish for a viable third party and they don’t meaningfully exist.

    You and me both.

    I don't hold my breath for Linux phones ever taking off. They'd need a major player backing them to break the duopoly. Apple and Google won't let a third player enter the market. Samsung tired at least 2 times and failed. Microsoft was squeezed out. If they couldn't do it, no one can. We can only hope that one of the big two does something really stupid one day and basically dig their own grave.

  • I don't have one. But if I want to degoogle, I'm not giving them my money from the get-go. Are there no more phones with unlockable bootloaders on the market? No more custom ROMs?

  • I don't get GrapheneOS apologists. If you hate Google so much, how come you all have Pixel phones?

  • The iPhone was a mistake

    Jump

  • The tech was headed in a different direction. Early Android was nothing like iPhoneOS, it had to play catch-up and adapt to the new form factor (boring rectangle with a touchscreen). Apple created a demand for their cool shiny toy in a way that Android couldn't have done. Think about it, by the time the first iPhone was announced, we already had Windows, Symbian and Blackberry phones. Regular people were not buying them, they were a niche product. Android was just heading to join their ranks.

    Jump

  • Facebook groups, echo chambers, leniency on hate speech, propaganda, Cambridge Analytica, people ushering in right wing extremism by their own volition, Brexit, Green Deal opposition, war in Ukraine, lunatic in the White House, there's a lot of stuff that happened because the smartphone was used as a channel for manipulation. At least the pandemic would have happened anyway, but vaccination rates would have probably been higher without everyone having easy, unrestricted access to the internet.

  • As i get older and take care of myself, its easier to love myself, and thus, its easier to love other people and receive their love too.

    Really well said.

    I too started to face the consequences of my lifestyle in my late 20's. I was fat, sedentary, ate junk, smoked, drank and my back started to hurt. I can't really tell what motivated me to turn my life around. Could be I wanted to live a long and healthy life out of spite. Anyway, I'm way healthier now than I was 10 or 15 years ago. The effort is worth it.
