Google is messing with Driving Mode again, and I've had enough of this nonsense

  • I've slowly been ditching google products these past years, and it feels good. Finally made the move to proton just before christmas.

    • Unity bans VLC from Unity Store.

  • ... so what you do is set up a rule that everybody will break - "no drinking with shoes on" - and only enforce it against people you want to kick out 👍

    • The Boost android client for Lemmy is displaying these dark pattern ads pretending to be system notifications. What security/privacy conscious Lemmy clients do you recommend?

    • In what ways has your use of technology/internet changed in 2023?

    Jump

  • It's pretty good actually. No ads and you can access videos from a lot of platforms in the one app (including premium ones if you have a subscription to them). It also makes it easier to follow a single creator across platforms. Also, lets you download videos for offline access, allows casting, PiP and a bunch of other stuff.

    My only real complaint is that the recommendations aren't very good yet, so I end up going back to YT/revanced to discover new stuff, and there currently isn't any way to use sponsorblock with it.

    Still, considering it's in alpha, great stuff.

    • choose only one rule

  • I submit King Haakon VII - the first modern King of Norway. Throughout his reign he worked to support the Norwegian people, acting as a unifying and stabilizing figure, particularly in times of crisis. Examples are during the first few years of the country, during WW1, the occupation of WW2 and also after the 1927 elections, where he decided to uphold parliamentary convention and allow the workers party (which at the time espoused a revolutionary socialist manifesto) to form a government (against the wishes of the liberal and conservative majority in parliament, which had failed to form a government).

  • I know you put a /s in there, but that's actually spot on. It's very difficult to convince people to give a damn about nature if they don't have decent food, shelter and a hopeful future for their children.

    • How many of you actually use the headphone jack on your phone?

  • Almost every day. For a while I had a pair of decent wireless headphones, but they broke and I haven't had money to spare for new ones.
