As a German, I often find the French protests inspiring. They seem enthusiastic and convinced that they can make a difference, whereas in Germany many people use their perceived insignificance as an excuse for why it’s pointless to even try.

Congrats! I’m glad I never started using it, cause while it hasn’t been easy I think it’s likely much harder to get off of it. So good job!
I’m not happy. Are you?

Technology@lemmy.world•Android will become a locked-down platform in 194 daysEnglish
16·2 months agoThe new requirements will “only” apply for “certified” Android devices. I’m pretty sure, devices running a custom ROM aren’t certified, especially if you don’t even have Google Services installed. Nevertheless, I’m looking forward to a bright future for Linux phones.
We could have had Habeck, but germany was too stupid.
A fellow Sarah Bosetti enjoyer? ;)

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•Valve is stopping production of LCD Steam Deck models, once sold out they will be gone forever
10·4 months agoReally? That’s interesting, because I’ve never noticed burn-in on any of my OLED phones, even though I did use them for many years each. But then again, I’ve always wondered why seemingly nobody talks about burn-in on phones, while there is a lot of fuzz being made around it on computer monitors.
That’s how I feel about most Microsoft products actually.
Exactly the same at my job. And it really shows in the code quality, or lack thereof. And then sometimes they wonder why it becomes more and more complicated to add new things. But most of the time they just think that it’s perfectly normal that way and are completely oblivious to all the ways it could be improved. I once talked to my boss about it and he basically replied with “Well you know, there just isn’t a code style that everybody likes, so there’s no reason to even try.”

2·5 months agoI don’t know which stores exactly are listed there. But at least with some shady key resellers, piracy might actually be better than buying from them according to some indie devs: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-48908726

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Updates that don't tell me what is being updatedEnglish
26·6 months agoOMG, thank you! Until now I thought I was the only person to be fucking annoyed by this shit.
Ah I see. Yeah I try to do the same as much as possible. But there still are those apps that just don’t offer such functionality, unfortunately.
Alright, thank you!
A question on the self hosted app backups: Do you mean using synchronization functionalities that the apps themselves have built-in? Like using a contacts app that syncs the contacts via CardDav? Or do you actually synchronize the apps themselves with their app-specific data (like settings etc.)? Because if that is possible, I would be very interested!
Yeah, your points really do make sense. Thank you for your insights!
Reminds me of when Beatrix von Storch, politician from the far-right German party AfD, once suggested suing the sun for damages done by climate change in an interview.
