Routhinator@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Fairphone announces the €599 Fairphone 6, with a 6.31" 120Hz LTPO OLED display, a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip, and enhanced modularity with 12 swappable partsEnglish153·15 days agoI respect your opinion, but I lived through 90s computing and think dongles died the death they deserve and these phone manufacturers can go to hell for bringing them back or thinking that bluetooth audio is good enough.
Additionally most of the droids I have bought that have a jack are the perfect thickness in my mind. Weighted enough to stay in my hand and take a couple dozen drops without accident. Plus the headphone jack is used as an antenna and provides radio capabilities so I can listen to local news instead of whatever the tech industry wants to feed me. Which is a nice option.
Routhinator@startrek.websiteto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•how are my fellow peeps hosting your music collection these days?English6·22 days agoIt is, but it requires GPlay to operate and maintain your sub.
I switched to Subtracks when I dumped Google.
Routhinator@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Should I stop using Telegram?English32·1 month agoIts what makes it more secure. Why do you need a chat app that allows your parents to accidentally stumble into a group of con artists or kids to stumble into things they shouldn’t be exposed to? It’s a messaging app, not gamer group chat.
This is what puts is way ahead of the others.
Routhinator@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Should I stop using Telegram?English9·1 month agoUnlike the other two, there are no servers that run discoverable group chats.
Routhinator@startrek.websiteto Explain Like I'm Five@lemmy.world•ELI5: What the heck is linux?English2·1 month agoJust adding to this, Linux is pretty ubiquitous these days, with it being found running billboards, menus, information screens, and many machines and appliances.
Though these versions are stripped down and no what you are used to from a desktop. They just have the kernel and a few services for the task at hand.
Routhinator@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Google is Using AI to Censor Independent WebsitesEnglish1·1 month agoMan I miss Webrings.
Routhinator@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Google is Using AI to Censor Independent WebsitesEnglish1·1 month agoYep, I fought against it for years but eventually my new user intake was lower than the rate at which the typical user would fizzle out and move on. We had users that were there for 20 years and regulars, but without fresh ideas and posts things would get stale. So I had to yield and start adhering. Around 2018-2019 things really took a dive in traffic and I could not afford ads as it was all completely out of pocket, so I started a new codebase and rewrote it over 4 years in my spare time. The site before it shut down had a top grade from all of Googles site scanners and I had thought “Perfect… now folks will trickle in again at the right rate.”. And then the delisting.
Routhinator@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Google is Using AI to Censor Independent WebsitesEnglish12·1 month agoThis is why I shut The Den of Amateur Writing down after 25 years of running and developing it. I had written the entire codebase for Googles SEO, rolled out the update so my users would see a bit more traffic trickle in, and then watched them delist all my URLs 3 months later when this change rolled out. I just gave up. It was taking way too much of my life fighting googles bullshit to provide a free community.
Routhinator@startrek.websiteto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Your help needed: PhD research on why people choose to self-hostEnglish10·1 month agoBecause I dont need to pay rent for my files and I don’t have to worry about AI and VCs trying invade my privacy.

Routhinator@startrek.websiteto Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•Twilight > The Lord of the RingsEnglish10·3 months agoTrashy romance novels are also apparently entertaining but that doesn’t make them good literature. Twilight may be entertaining but the terrible grammar, word choice and plot make it a joke. Its the reality TV of novels.
Routhinator@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft's quantum computing claims slammed as 'fraudulent'English11·4 months agoMaybe they were smoking too much Majorana.
Pan fried shawarma is something Im still trying to get used to. The Lebanese Shawarma places in Ottawa all stack the chicken on a stick rotisserie and it is cooked exactly like the lamb or beef kebabs, they then slice thin portions off of it just the same.
It wasnt until I moved out west that I ever saw Shawarma done any other way, and everything out here has been disappointing by comparison.
