I mean Mastodon is Lemmy 🤷

helenslunch,

I never see posts from Mastodon on Lemmy.

You can always tell because they do that annoying thing where they tag 13 fucking people completely unnecessarily.

helenslunch,

I think the way they do electric motorbikes in some asian cities right now is very interesting

Interesting? Sure. What happens when it rains? What happens on 107*F days? You just show up to work sopping wet? They don’t worry about their scooter being stolen?

Put 25MPH speed limits in the city and use micro-cars. Seems like the better option.

helenslunch,

Your methodology of nitpicking all of comments that don’t mesh with your extremely narrow vision of an optimal future is a GREAT way to advocate and make people want to conform to your ideas.

Your methodology of making shit up that never happened is a GREAT way to win an argument.

helenslunch,

It’s okay to be skeptical without choosing to mislead people about what’s actually happening. I’m skeptical too. They advertised everywhere that they would ship their first car at the end of 2022. And then just…never mentioned it again. And now they’re supposed to launch in 2025.

helenslunch,

AFAIK it’s just Samsung and Google. No one else cares.

People think Apple is some sort of bastion of longevity because they have software support, but it’s completely meaningless when they have almost zero hardware support.

All I really know is shoot bug

Honestly it is a fairly complex game. I’ve got 60 hours in it and still don’t know what’s going on most of the time.

I think you’re expected to spend your days browsing YouTube videos or following the devs on Twitter to even understand what’s happening (like way too many modern games) but I have zero interest in that.

There’s even a tutorial but it really doesn’t go beyond extremely basic mechanics of the game.

“Shoot bugs” is fun for a while but eventually you want to upgrade and progress but trying to figure out how to do that is needlessly complicated.

helenslunch,

It does. I run it on ChimeraOS (Arch).

helenslunch,

Man they’re really getting after it for Android 15…

helenslunch,

How would it then report such behavior to Google, without internet?

It doesn’t

In a demo, the tech giant simulated a scam call involving a fraudster impersonating a bank. A pop-up message appeared, encouraging the user to hang up.

If it notifies the end user, what good does that do?

You can’t see why it might be helpful for a user to know that they’re speaking to a scammer?

helenslunch,

Can’t really get behind her on this one. Assuming it works the way Google says it does, it couldn’t be used for any of those things she’s concerned about.

If it doesn’t work that way, well then your entire device is compromised to begin with, because Google controls the entire operating system.

helenslunch,

There’s no recording taking place…

helenslunch,

Google doesn’t actually provide the Phone app

Yes they do. Anyone can download the Google Phone app.

helenslunch,

I mean that’s fair, but the answer from Google is yes.

helenslunch,

What difference does that make?

helenslunch,
  1. Exploit cheap/slave labor
  2. ???
  3. Massive profits
helenslunch,

I suspect the next Windows OS will be a subscription service

I don’t think so. It’ll be more like Android, “free” and full of invasive telemetry which is then used to serve you more and more ads.

Can’t really see any reason to use Thunderbird when every mail service has a web client that looks and works better…

helenslunch,

If you want to game, my advice would be not to bother with Nvidia GPUs. Even the ones that advertise support for it often have lots of weird issues. In my case, this includes Bazzite.

helenslunch,

I have hundreds of email addresses and they all come to the same inbox. 🤷
