what i use for annoying apps i kinda need: use karma FW. It basically routes all your phones traffic through itself and you can block apps to not use internet at all. Having it set up as always on works best.
What your talking about is rate limiting. And pretty much every social media already does that. The issue with adding requirements like phone number etc, is that it also makes it more difficult and annoying for regular users. Besides, bot account owners litteraly have large amounts of fake valid mobile phone numbers they can use to "verify" their bot accounts. Then they also use change their ip addresses, so rate limiting can't be enforced. Instagram also has a massive bot issue, but its just an endless amount of bot accounts, not just one that is spamming all over the place.
Adding a fake 10 second delay would stop absolutely nothing and make the experience even worse for regular users.
How is this in any way relevant news, if it has nothing to do with being an emulator, but the cause being spam by a rip off? Is that even worth a post?
i dont think ipads are the best. Samsungs tablets since the tab s7 do great. Have it for four years now heavily in use in school and university. Sideloading all the shit i want.
google and samsung suck just as much. Custom rom's for the win. Besides on Android at least you dont have to use a google account and can use aurora store or apks. And you can easily set a filter to not allow any apps or system apps to use internet.
There needs to be more laws and regulations. In this system, companies will use every legal way to make as much money as possible. This is especially true for public companies.
well kinda feel sorry for ya that your job requires excel or any of that office trash. Obviously doesnt work out for you then.
I run mint for some years on desktop and about a year on laptop now. I dont have any issues on either and it just feels good booting into them. I never once had the urge or need to go back to windows. And i think this is true for many people.
And the terminal is just sth thats at its core. If you dont want to learn it then a system like that isnt for you. In all reality, if one learns its, it is much easier than using three different windows setting interfaces with bloat popping up everywhere. Installing software in linux easy. In windows navigate through twenty ads or visit a poor store.
Or windows having a mix of consoles/powershells and more shit nowadays with different command namings. In Linux. Its just sinple terminal. Not to mention command prompt and its siblings taking four+ seconds to open on a new decent windows pc. Wtf?
imo windows bloat makes it unusable. The skill required to learn terminal basics is far smaller than learning all that windows shit.
Essentially the apps have same package name but different signatures and the app store that installed it should be the only one to recognize and update it....
Can't beat samsung's implementation with sound assistant. It lets you put individual volumes for each app. You can even allow two or more music apps to play at the same time. For example a game and music. It also allows you to customize the volume panel as far as you want, such as position, theme etc. Not to mention you can also output to two bluetooth headphones at the same time.
I dont like samsung much. But i would totally miss this on most other phones. This android 15 panel just seems lame in comparison.
Not entirely sure if this fits the futurology theme, but I thought people here might be interested. Anyone know of a more appropriate community to post this in?
battery storage? how long do they last until they loose most capacity.
A lake pump system would make much more sense to store energy. Pump up water into a higher lake when theres too much energy and get it back with turbines, when you need energy.
why, when it can actually be helpful? Using chatgpt for searches is already much faster than denying 10 cookie banners. Some more privacy focused AI would be great, if firefox does that.
It's kind of silly, but I still really dig the idea behind torrenting and peer to peer sharing of data. It's cool to think about any old computer helping pass along some odd bits & bytes of data, whether a goofy drawing or strange story.
okay. if they had never done it maybe. but its in Google maps already. So they already have all the data available. Making the code to show transit, with having access to their internal API's is probably very easy.
Just look up a local bus provider API. Very easy to just make a request. Google probably has their own API already that bundles all transits from over the world.

uh hu, you locked yourself in. Imo if you dont need Excel, OneNote or any of that shit, its perfectly cool. For devs its even nicer not to have to deal with all the windows shit ways of doing things. As for documents, LaTeX is great.
Also, in the end, the command line is even easier than having to learn shitty user interfaces. And you get much faster with command line too. Windows likes to have 3 different design languages from different decades for no reason.
Using it as OS and as Server, it has been perfect for years.
People who don't use it either have a life and simply dont want things to change, or are too foolish to realise they are getting trolled with every update.
For people starting, just dual boot a Linux Distro. For the shit that requires windows boot into it. The rest can all be done in linux. Even boots faster.
And for average people probably the google documents / slides [...] will be more than enough.
Rip to people that need windows shit to be in their life for work. Though they could also use a windows vm.
and please do as .pdf aswell if you have students. Sometimes one of our profs powerpoint slides dont show equasions with a libre Software. So annoying!
