  • It's a bit... shorter than I expected, but thanks

  • I saw this too. Sadly I don't remember where I saw it.

  • I followed most of your guide, and my phone battery is lasting me upwards of 5 hours of screen on time since I applied your secret sauce. Never mind the ridiculously low data usage.

    Can you please give a link to this guide? Thanks.

  • On top of it, they have lied about testing. https://i.imgur.com/woNxPhx.jpg

    Yeah, no. Pretty sure that's just a rando with GrapheneOS logo as their avatar. The way they talk doesn't sound like the dev to me, and I also don't think the dev would ever misspell a word like "cellular" as "cullar".

  • Why are you being downvoted? Is it not obvious enough that your comment was sarcasm?

  • Those are awesome!

  • I'd be interested in seeing, for example, from which instances the voters are distributed.

    That would be interesting indeed! I heard that if one hosts their own Lemmy instance, they can see who voted on every post. Don't have that for now though.

  • I kind of see your point. The information we have is not sufficient, and we cannot really know how much of the Lemmy userbase cares about this issue.

  • [...] is that most votes happen because of a title. People scroll past, see a title, and vote based on that.

    Wow, now that I think of it, that is indeed how I vote most of the time.

    Thanks, I will seriously consider opening a community.

  • I tried OSMAnd but it's so fucking slow despite having already downloaded the map. Organic Maps is so much faster and smoother.

  • The solution is to build up more attractive alternatives of those communities elsewhere, not endlessly campaign the existing users to just drop them.

    Agreed. Maybe I should try creating and managing a community some day. (hopefully this didn't come off as sarcastic)

    The current fedidb stats, to me, state that 488 people is, colloquially speaking, nobody.

    This is a wildly misleading and unfair comparison. Let's take the Trump verdict as an example. The most upvoted post about this had ~2700 upvotes. But that's only 6% of the MAU! Is that "nobody"? Obviously not. 2k upvotes is a huge deal on a rather small community like Lemmy. How often do you see posts with more than 3k upvotes?

    ~500 upvotes is already a moderately large number of upvotes. You need to compare this number with how many upvotes a post typically gets.

  • Usually I'd agree with this, but on this post, the upvote count is a direct representation of how many people care about this issue (out of the number of users who saw this post). That is meaningful.

  • Dude, this is common fucking knowledge, and nobody cares

    The 730 people who upvoted this post do care.

    The problem is that lemmy.ml hosts too many popular communities. There are people who want them gone from their feeds but also don't want their Lemmy experience to become empty and boring.

  • wow, you can see who up/downvoted a post? how do I do that?

  • people in China absolutely cannot freely discuss the Tiananmen incident. Not even people in Hong Kong. Once-annual commemorations about this incident in Hong Kong have been canceled for a few years due to pressure from the government. People who ever dare mention this date - 4 June 1989 - on (the Chinese, walled version of) the Internet risk having their account banned and getting police visits at their door. Even the Tiananmen square closed down "for maintenance" on 4 June.

  • I love the smell of basements. The humidity and the green, decades old moss on the wall gives off this refreshing yet mature scent. As a plus, it's also often cooler than the air at ground level. Mmmm.

  • I have a disdain for Elon but I want to thank you for saying that you do like him. Makes this place less of an echo chamber.

  • Cool! Does this mean he'll be barred from presidency?

  • Did you get a phone case with your pixel? I didn't when I bought my pixel 6a.

    The phone case was a complimentary gift from the e-commerce platform I bought the phone from. Not from Google themselves. My guess is that they wanted to get rid of these 2023 H2 Limited Edition Pixel × Rhinoshield Phone Case Pixel 8 - Black that no one wanted to buy, so they decided to just give it away. Pretty thoughtful gift actually.
