  • When have you last used a mid range phone? It used to make a huge difference, but over the years, as phones matured, I feel it's shrunken down more and more. I used to always use flagships, but these days, I don't see what value they provide over 400-600€ phones in daily usage.

  • I mean, they're pretty old planes. I don't expect them to rip out all the equipment and replace it if it still does the job.

  • Artsy fartsy pretentiousness can be quite fun.

  • It sounds like you don't necessarily like the idea of using a container (I tend to use podman, but most guides are for docker, so that'd probably be easier for you). From my experience, containerising things actually makes things a lot easier, especially in the long run, and getting started is a lot easier than it seems. You can probably find a ready-made guide to set up a plex or jellyfin container on Debian.

  • Well, I'd say affirmative on 2 and 3, but my parents never married, and even though they lived together for 20 years, I wouldn't call it stable. Ended when my father cheated on my mother with my nanny, and she then kicked the both of them out to sleep in the guest house till we moved out.

  • If I know all three versions, I'll explode?

  • Your instance is the address behind the @. So yours is lemmy.world, theirs is, fittingly, yiffit.net.

  • I don't have a lot of T-Shirts anymore, but my favourite is probably one from a youth club in eastern Germany with Boss "MyName" (but the wrong spelling) on the back, and the logo of my late father's long bankrupt company as a sponsor on the front.

    It's funny, but more in a nostalgic way.

  • I'd go in a different direction - requiring someone to sing your national anthem is wrong. It's wrong when the U.S. do it, it's wrong when Canada does, it's wrong when China does it.

    I find national pride hard to understand, but forced displays of national pride are really iffy.

  • I wouldn't even say that. Even if they had a truly unique LLM that ran partially locally with a custom co-processor, Android might still have been a good choice. It's just hard to beat an open source base that's already compatible with most mobile hardware, and relatively easy to find Devs for.

  • I love how everyone is debating "Sells that information to companies", but no one's talking about "knows everything you do".

  • Using Android as a base was honestly the most reasonable thing they did. No reason to reinvent the wheel. What they made with it is admittedly really shit, though.

  • Huh, I've been in that train. Sudden, random hit of Nostalgia.

  • Not a mod here, but I don't see how written tits could be a problem. Hell, artsy tits should probably be fine too. Sexual tits are, I'm pretty sure, the actual line.

  • I think Reuters only has a Best of feed from their agency side, which isn't really that useful as a news feed. All their feeds seem to be shut down, at least the ones I had stopped working.

  • I trust Reuters more than I trust Media Bias Fact Check. I of course still vary my media diet, but they're certainly a pillar of it.

    Seem to remember that they had a big scandal with a climate change denier editor that changed some articles a few years ago. Good to remember that no oragnisation is above scrutiny.

  • Water. Cold brew black or green tea if I'm feeling frisky.

  • I am very much pro space exploration, but the current plans many companies present for Mars colonies just seem like they would add very little value, while bringing tremendous danger and strife for the inhabitants, should anything ever be built.

    I think we need to separate legitimate interest in space and related technology from bullshit marketing with scifi flavour.
