AstroTechie,

Follow up question for ladies: how do you more usually / prefer to get off: 1) by just “standard” penetration or 2) finger/tongue/others stimulation?

Hi! so far it works great.

I only have this network error whenever I try to set “New” as default sorting in profile settings.

I tried to post a screenshot but the image upload also fails here ಠ_ಠ

Edit: I meant to say Settings> Account Settings. The error notification always says “Network error. Unable to save.”

AstroTechie,

Yes the improvement is legit. It used to lag a lot even with the double press shortcut on the power button it was too slow for a quick photo.

Mine only has one year and a few months, so it’s still to be seen for how long I can keep using it.

I’m happy with just the security updates and bug fixes so this is a nice extra.

AstroTechie,

Out of curiosity I found these.

Apparently the crime rate in Japan was 300k+ first half of 2023 www.japantimes.co.jp/news/…/japan-crime-rise

In 2022 it was 10k by foreigners the whole year, so let’s say 5k/305k about 1.6% ish are foreigners? statista.com/…/japan-number-foreigners-arrested-c…

AstroTechie,

For practical purposes it failed. If every attempt to achieve it failed then it’s just a failure.

If you follow the subjective “it was never really achieved for it to fail” logic then anyone can claim nothing ever fails.

Meritocracy and the American dream didn’t fail, we just never achieved it for it to fail then?

AstroTechie,

It’s not supersonic during landing or taxing, which I guess is when a direct view would be more useful.

AstroTechie,

I’m trying fast-forward and imagine how we’ll end up also hating lemmy in the future.

AstroTechie,

They are asking Microsoft and Open AI to pay a subscription?

You mean that they can later equate “subscription for using this model trained with my book” to “subscription for using your brain trained with my book”?

Massive protests in Spain against the amnesty proposed by the socialist government. (www.elmundo.es)

The socialist party, which secured the second-largest number of votes in the recent elections, has finalized an accord with separatist groups to ensure their support in the upcoming investiture vote. This agreement includes a disputed amnesty law that has been criticized by legal experts as unconstitutional....

AstroTechie,

I’m completely ignorant of Spain’s politics but after my 10min google investigation, because I’m curious, I found that apparently the current prime minister is negotiating some votes from a Catalan political party so that he can be reelected.

In exchange they ask for ‘amnesty’ with which to delete all their criminal records for the illegal 2017 secession referendum, which would mean forgiveness of the crime, as if it had not occurred. With this some party members who fled from justice would be able to return to Spanish territory.

There are also a bunch of financial deals but the amnesty thing is the one that makes the news.

Developing countries owe China at least $1.1 trillion – and the debts are due (edition.cnn.com)

Developing countries owe Chinese lenders at least $1.1 trillion, according to a new data analysis published Monday, which says more than half of the thousands of loans China has doled out over two decades are due as many borrowers struggle financially....

AstroTechie, (edited )

Is there a list with the amount these developing countries owe to China? edit: found it docs.aiddata.org/reports/how-china-lends.html#app…

Are there any Open Source apps for finding and deleting duplicate files?

Hi Android Community, I previously used “DFCleaner” which was a free, ad-supported app that searched specified folders for duplicate files and let you preview and delete anything that it found. This app now bothers me with a consent form for ad tracking so I’ve ditched it in protest. Are there any open source alternatives...

AstroTechie,

Also, that’s probably just google enforcing EU user consent policy which will be mandatory for mobile ads starting from January.

It’s weird that a user was happy seeing ads without consent and now decides to ditch the app because it asks for consent before showing ads it was already showing ¯_(ツ)_/¯

AstroTechie,

I hate that I can’t block posts about X. I have a bunch of keywords blocked with filters but obviously I can’t use X as a keyword. I’m sick of news/posts about X.

AstroTechie,

Yes actually I already had those blocked but turns out that I had Elon’s but this title has Elon’s, different quote characters ’ and ’ so that’s why it didn’t work. Funny thing, after adding that keyword I couldn’t come back to reply and I thought the post was deleted, had to remove it just so I can access the post again.

I use Sync for lemmy on Android, it has a nice option where you can add a list of keywords and it hides posts that have it in the title.

AstroTechie,

Thanks, you gave me an idea, the problem was that my keyword had ’ but the title has ’ so now I had both types of quotes and it works.

AstroTechie,

Well, the guy is in jail for what he did, and as bad as his action was the government can’t just ignore the issues he uncovered.

AstroTechie,

I got the notification but I’ll wait a couple of weeks.

One thing I want to test is the change about installed apps and the Guest user, in theory version 13 allows using the same apps already installed without requiring a separate play store setup.

I’m curious to see if it can be used like an app safe/incognito mode to test apps that ask for too many permissions within a sandbox.

AstroTechie,

I’m too busy holding my table, can’t attend.

AstroTechie,

Could be, but more likely it’s just the result of having self hosted services, you have individuals exposing their own small servers to the wilderness of internet.

These trols also try constantly to post their crap to mainstream social media but they have it more difficult there. My guess is that they noticed lemmy is getting a big traction and has very poor media content control. Easy target.

Moderating media content is a difficult task and for sure centralized social media have better filters and actual humans in place to review content. Sadly, only big tech companies can pay for such infrastructure to moderate media content.

I don’t see an easy way for federated servers to cope with this.

AstroTechie,

Honest question, what should they call it?

To me, it makes sense that they don’t want to call it a missile unless it has a rocket or other type of powerful engine. Drones are things that I expect to have the ability to return to base, and to have a propeller engine, so if any of those is designed to not return then calling them kamikaze makes sense no?

AstroTechie,

DIY or not they still need to test the laptop fully assembled before shipping so I don’t see a way around that.
