You can also play with it to try and get closer to correct. I had problems with getting an Excel macro working and getting unattended-updates working on my pihole. GPT was wrong at first, but got me partly there and I could massage the question and Google and get closer to the right answer. Without it, I wouldn’t have been able to get any of it, especially with the macro.

That hasn’t been a concern for me since the early days of the modern smartphone era. But I can see it being an issue for older phones with worn out batteries or something.

Piracy is whatever. Using an old school ass MP3 player in 2023 is unhinged though. I’m sure their phone can do whatever that MP3 player can do just as easily.

I already cancelled my subscription. I’m going to the subscription hopping plus piracy route now for D+.

The easiest two ways are to either pay per mile, or just add the round trip time to whatever their pay is. There might be some small complaints and attempts to abuse. But the complaining is easy to deal with and I think the abuse would be small and could be dealt with in similar ways as other time theft is dealt with.

Besides the listed examples from the article, what would be the impact for normal to even hobbyist root users? It seems like this is a good idea to prevent modification of legit certs and allowing certs to be updated remotely.

As touched on above: if you’re configuring your own system CA certificates on Android right now for debugging, reverse engineering, testing or research, that option is going away in Android 14, and presumably all future versions too.

Generally the people you’re telling your salary are people in the same location as you or at least the same state.

Telling the yearly salary makes the most sense there since it should be similar weekly/monthly amounts. And even if they aren’t in the same place and it doesn’t translate based on tax differences, telling someone the monthly or weekly payment would make no sense.

Yeah, that’s what the dev says, but I haven’t seen any details on what that deal is. As for NSFW content, all you need to do to get around that is to be a mod of a NSFW sub. I created one, set it to private and have been able to see NSFW posts and subs for weeks in both apps with no problem. It has been weeks and both Comet and Narwhal still work with no issues, and they aren’t the only apps that are still functional.

The whole thing just feels weird after the dust has settled.

Interesting. I didn’t think there would be a difference.

Ublock isn’t going to block these ads. These ads are those little emails with the ad tag in your Social and Promotions tab, not banner ads or popups.

So is Comet and Narwhal. Something weird went on with this whole thing. It seems like reddit wanted to kill the popular apps that were actually being used by people, but the smaller ones are fine.

For me at least, there’s just not enough content. Not enough communities, with not enough posts with not enough comments. Lemmy still hasn’t reached that tipping point where it can replace sites like Reddit. It fluctuates, but I think it is on the way.

I think it still needs to grow and get more stable. I find any browsing all that there isn’t enough there for me to use it in the same way I used reddit.

For the first month or so, I would say it was about 40% of my SNS usage, now it’s probably about 20-30%. Hopefully as more and more people use it, we get more users and more stable instances.

Not just living in the US. I’m thinking they’re on some legacy plan where just using mobile hotspots were extra.

On my kind of old t-mobile plan, I can use hotspot. And when I was a grandfathered Verizon plan I could use it too. Same with the MVNO I played around with a few months ago.

There are limits though, which is BS. But just using it to get through a temporary residential internet outage is included in a lot of plans in the US.

I already cancelled my Disney+ subscription earlier in the year. I’m just letting it ride out. After that, I will either do the subscription hopping thing where I only sub when something I want is airing, or just add Marvel stuff to my piracy rotation.

The difference is that you need to subscribe to multiple services now to get everything you want, instead of just one.

I would never consider sending a .7z unless I had no choice. It’s like sending a .ODT instead of a .DOCX. There’s just no reason to make things more complicated.

I use PIA, and so far torrents still work. It sounds like the film studios are going after smaller VPNs or VPNs that make it obvious that they’re piracy friendly.
