  • I mean, Fairphone runs Android. So the same Android Auto that a Google Pixel would have

  • Also applies to when Google does a "staged" rollout. Android Auto "Coolwalk" PTSD...

  • It is my opinion that there is only "tension" because you say there is. I do not believe that most people feel that way; it isn't exactly an active war zone. Nevertheless, I respect your decision as moderator of this community, and I'll leave you be in the future. Best of luck!

  • I'm the backend guy at lemdro.id, I started the instance. I don't moderate the !android@lemdro.id community (or any of them... I purely do infrastructure), but I am quite aware of the drama around recent events involving the two android communities.

    The intent behind banning all lemdro.id users from applying to be mods feels quite... retaliatory? I'm not sure there is anyone on lemdro.id who would apply, but depriving them the opportunity simply because they are associated with an instance that hosts a community which had another community merge into it?

    It is your community, you can of course do what you want. I just wish we could drop the drama, act like adults, and move on. Tired of the vitriol.

  • yeah, but to be honest I wasn't interested in Lemmy until I saw Sync was coming. I might not have started this instance without that

  • Oh hey, this community made it into the screenshots on the listing!

  • I suspect Tile will end up being forced into using either Google's or Apple's network. Would be cool to be able to use both someday

  • yes I wasn't trying to say otherwise! Just annoyed when people call them GPS

  • I'm optimistic Google will be able to wave a hand and bam now 2 billion Android devices do it courtesy of Google Play Services

  • just for clarification, they are Bluetooth trackers. They don't have a GPS radio within them and have no intrinsic knowledge of where they are located. Essentially just a Bluetooth beacon

  • Docker creates a virtual Linux environment basically, they mean they would like the user in that environment to not be root. I can submit a MR later today to do so (I authored the automatic docker builds MR)

  • There are more Android devices, so I'm optimistic Google's alternative could be great

  • No worries, your experience is totally valid thanks for sharing it. I'll mention it to the other admin running that account :)

  • Hey, thanks for pointing this out. I asked around and this is actually ran by one of the other admins on the instance. They generate the responses manually and then paste them as a comment. The account is marked as a bot so that users can disable showing bot accounts in their profile settings.

    I know this doesn't functionally change your point, but Lemdro.id is still growing (over 10k subscribers now...), so hopefully you can get some better answers in the future.

  • lemdro.id is quite strict regarding bots, I run it! I'm not sure what post they were referring to since I can't see it in their history
