I’m pretty sure it was mainly to get rid of the exec that was leading the supercharger team because from what I remember she was doing a really good job and didn’t listen to him when he told her to lay people off or something. She was the reason NACS became a standard in the US. Really bad call on his end but hey gotta keep the ego big somehow.
One suggestion I saw a while ago was to use more general communities for things you're interested in and as it grows then the more niche communities can be made.
Ex: post about a specific game you like in gaming up until enough people like it to make a sub for that game. Or post about a song you don't know in asklemmy until enough people do that to make whatsthissong
I totally get wanting the niche communities and, personally, I just lurk reddit completely not voting, posting, or commenting unless as a last resort if I really need to find info that Lemmy isn't able to provide.
It's a slow process and I don't think there'll be another boost of users in Lemmy until reddit does another thing that enshittifies it to annoy people to leave.
I'd imagine you could probably get into the android developer settings and disable all the telemetry stuff through adb and install a custom launcher like projectivity and that'd be the closest you could get to running a custom tv OS at least if you can't flash it.
One that I had that was continuous until I updated to the current dev beta was stickers being completely unavailable. Another my friend has was on a home screen search with just the letter s would crash it lol.
Ah yeah I remember I had a service that had a delay with sending the 2fa code (can't remember if it was email or sms) but it got to the point where it was basically gambling on if I'd get into the account on that day or not lol. Glad it wasn't as important as mortgage payments though that sucks to hear.
Didn't know about the phone number requirement but I am annoyed that any time I log into my apple account it'll only ping my iOS devices as a 2fa option. Wish I could use generic/standardized 2fa code gen.
Oh the 16gigs is for devs/games and the 2gb is exclusively for the system. Was wondering how they were able to get by with only 2 gigs of ram and 16gigs of vram originally lmao.
Censoring cuss words or "inappropriate" words either in memes by blanking it out or in text by spelling it differently just to get around an algorithm.
Ex: dies vs unalive
What if Linux is just a roguelike
