Samsung S22 Ultra, pretty sure it's not allowed on the latest Android by the Google Play Store because it was compiled as 32 bit and not 64 bit. You can probably side load it just fine.

It's useful to note that there exists Lemmy servers where down votes are not processed. So the high up vote to down vote ratio isn't necessarily a reflection of people not down voting, it's potentially a reflection of the servers that allow down votes along with all other servers (generally they all allow up votes).

As my sister who is a MT always said: "A massage therapist gives you a massage, a masseuse gives you a happy ending."

I can't believe I know this, but RubMaps used to (might still be?) a thing. If you looked at the outside of them on Google Maps you could very quickly start to pick up on the patterns among the listed locations.

We've finally made it! People look at a picture of Lemmy thinking it's a more popular platform.

They might have changed the OP to fix it in the past hour, but for me the "screenshot" is coming from the social image for the link on the post itself. Clicking through the link gets to the actual article.

You know, I was just thinking how stupid the name sounded until you pointed this out. I still think it's stupid, but now it at least makes sense how we got here.

MA has done the same shit, and they lean ever further to the left. I'm not entirely convinced it's a turnout thing, maybe more of a "balancing things out" kind of deal.

I keep hearing people only on Lemmy bring up Gitea but I haven't really heard of it otherwise. What's the appeal and what's keeping it locked away with the Lemmy community?

Are they moving issues or just code storage to GitHub?

I think the YouTube Downloader is paid and they might be getting it confused.

People absolutely think something about it when it happens, and hell sometimes the government even does something about it (as demonstrated in the article you linked). Just a whole lot of us would argue they don't do enough about it.

Oh but didn't you know that's just a slippery slope argument and he's really just a cool dude and who doesn't encourage hate or violence? /s

A whole lotta people in this thread who don't want to acknowledge that this dude is trash, no matter how good or bad their music is.

I made it pretty clear he's a terrible person, just for many, many other reasons that are far easier to argue.

Defending a pedophile doesn't make one a pedophile. That's the stretch I'm arguing against.

I can't believe I'm defending Stallman here. He's got so many other reasons to be hated.

I haven't personally tested this, so this is all an assumption because of how related things work. But I've done extensive accessibility testing throughout the years and things tend to act the same.

On the web app for Lemmy, alternative text should be called out instead of the image (well, alongside since it lets you know there's an image with alt text). When you use an image as the text of a link (so, what is normally a clickable image) it should call out that it's a link, then that the link is an image, then that the image has alt text. This is not dissimilar to how things work if the image won't load and the alt text is shown instead.

On mobile apps it's the wild west, almost entirely depending on if the app developers put in the additional effort to make all of that information available to screen readers. By default not a whole lot is given other than the text itself so images are often completely skipped or called out without the alt text.

Richard Stallman is a bad person but I don't think we need to make stuff up to prove that. He's said he's fine with child pornography (as long as it's consensual) and might have favorable views on pedophilia (that may have since been backtracked) but that doesn't make himself a pedophile.

Just a misunderstood crazy person.

Yes. It partially makes sense because you could screw the new congresspeople who aren't corrupt with hidden income sources into not being able to afford their living situation, which could become a really bad point of leverage for awful people. I believe their staff goes without pay though.

I've got a mini and am looking into getting another mini or a full size. Caper sounds like a fantastic name considering how sneaky my current one is.

A lot of it was updated with both OSM (imagery via Mapillary) and Google Maps.

While I love the "don't make Google stronger" stance, the goal wasn't to help Google but instead to help the people who needed the imagery. And (at the time, at least) most people planned their routes using Google Maps so it was important to meet them where they were.
