If you as a content creator have a choice between a platform with 3 billion people (US and India included), like Shorts and Instagram Reels, and one without (TikTok), where would you post?
This is a clear disadvantage given to tiktok only to protect its own companies cause if US actually cared about data and mental health, homegrown Tech companies would also face repercussions.
LETS NOT FORGET, China can VERY EASILY buy most of the data it needs from the open market which many US companies, including Big Tech contribute to.
This has done nothing for citizens. Only protected innovation less US companies.
Although GPS or hardware based location does work on LineageOS, it seems there is no easy way to get software based Network Location officially on LineageOS due to UnifiedNLP getting deprecated and merged to GMS Core. (Also see this post)...
GPS works like 5% of the time for me. Seriously. There is a reason both Apple and Google made these solutions.
GPS, especially in some countries, straight up refuses to work.
I know I said it is half the location story but that is for others. For me, UNLP is 95% of the location service and I have no choice but to go back to google services just cause of this.
just like Apple, limited models and limited parts. It will probably take till 2030 or something before it comes even close to being available “globally”.
The phones are designed to be be hard to repair. So it is obvious most people won’t be doing this themselves. Which was the dream.
You should spread awareness on why he is a jerk instead of just trying to supress his existence as a whole.
That will help people to get the complete picture instead of just “oh dont use this picture”. That’s how information works.
Believe it or not, there are still many people who dont know, thus don’t care about him or his thoughts. And you writing something instead of all this would have helped your cause more.
It had today’s tiktok crowd. It was a huge hit. The only reason it failed is because of monetisation.
Only reason YouTube is popular. No competitor can match it in those terms.
Saying Vine was ahead of its time is like saying Digg or MySpace was ahead of its time. No it was at the precipice and just horribly failed to manage its growth and responding to competitors
The only thing Linux needs is proper hardware marketed well globally.
Linux needs to position itself to a market just like how ChromeOS did.
That is just not what linux is doing.
Convincing any one particular entity to do anything won’t mean luls for Linux market share, so much it will only make the lives of existing users more convenient
I tended to use upvotes on reddit as a way to save them for quick access later for reference or sharing. It was as easy as going to my profile and clicking the drop down to see my upvoted posts. I don’t have a way to do this in Connect.
The usecase is that you want to support the OP’s posts while also saving them for the future. Pressing both buttons for all the posts that you like is not intuitive.
Some users have 2 priorities of saved messages as neither Lemmy nor Reddit support lists in Saved Posts which something like Instagram has.
One priority is just to have a history of posts that amused you. You upvote them. (memes fit this) And other is actually saving them for future reference. (Articles, Opinions, etc.)
It is a nightmare trying to find some critical information but first sifting through all the memes and shitposts. So this feature is highly needed to make Lemmy atleast somewhat useful for me.
