Small screen, combined with poor/touch screen controls, and wanting to make money no matter what by pushing ads everywhere because no one wants to pay $10+ for a mobile software.

The only time I consider a mobile a game is when there is an ad-free option available.

For those kind of devices, the manufacturer should be required to make it possible to easily load a third-party firmware when they declare a device as obsolete.

I understand it’s not financially viable to support a device beyond a certain threshold, but there’s likely a community behind those that are willing to keep these devices alive for a while longer, with the benefit of reducing the amount of ewaste.

Especially with the rootkit scandal from 2005, the PSN breach from 2011, the internal employee data breach in 2023, etc

I can put the phone in lockdown by press-holding the power button and select the “lockdown” option. Not bad, but an actual reboot daily at night wouldn’t be so bad.

I wouldn’t mind having the ability to schedule a reboot on my phone as an extra precaution.

https://ghost.org/ is one of them.

there’s https://lemmyverse.link, but a native way of doing so would be nice.

Ultimately, using a protocol handler instead of URLs would solve that (ie: like how mailto links works).

• Ability to see and export the posts and comments I upvoted and downvoted
• Polls with configurable restrictions (ex: only allow subscribed members of the community to vote from the date the poll was published, single-choice or multiple choices, restricted to local instance)
• Tags for posts and users inside a community
• Have a table for rules, and have those rules show up when creating a report
• A lemmy:// (or fediverse://) protocol, to make linking content, users, communities, etc more universal across instances, apps, etc

Because the backend for media storage in Lemmy is pictrs, and svg isn’t one of the supported file format.

That said, I wish as the instance admin that we could store some custom emojis as svg :(

We could make them very light on resources, and easily scalable.

18°C is recommended, especially for uninsulated pipes and where the ambient heat may have trouble reaching, as these spots may get colder.

More importantly, check your home insurance coverage policy, some will set a minimum temperature to maintain to be covered, with some exemptions in case of a power outage and other things outside of your control.

Clothing

• Make sure to have a good winter coat, neck gaiter, hat, gloves and boots. Staying warm and dry is important.
• Hand warmers can be handy if you expect to be outside for a while. There are several variants (chemical, reusable, rechargeable)

Driving

• Winter tires. It may seems like an extra expense, but it will make your summer/all-season tires lasts longer. In some provinces, they are mandatory for residents (ex: Quebec)
• Make sure to clear the snow from the car, INCLUDING the roof (aka don’t leave a snowhawk). Keep that snow brush in the trunk.
• Make sure to keep your windshield washer fuild filled.
• Have a small snow shovel just in case you get stuck in snow.
• Keep one of those metallic safety blanket, and those emergency candle in case you get in an emergency.
• A car battery booster might come in handy. A drained battery isn’t fun.
• Drice defensively, it’s easier to lose control of the vehicle.

Homeowner

• A good shovel to clear out the driveway isn’t a luxury
• Some sand in a bucket with a lid, to put over ice patches when it gets slippery. You don’t need to put a lot, just enough to not fall.
• Be sure to keep the temperature above 18°C. If the temp inside the building drops too low, ice can form in water pipes, and you can imagine the mess it can make when a pipe bursts.

One option would be for the big manufacturers to ignore the market and see if new players are able to thrive in such a market or not.

If the amount requested is too steep, they’ll end up with no new players and a shortage of high end phones, which is sure to piss off a portion of the population.

Of course, those that cares about fighting disinformation are leaving the platform, further concentrating the filth that prefer to hide the facts when faced with them.

Let it sink, it’s unsalvageable.

Personally I use it when I can’t easily find an answer online. I still keep some skepticism about the answers given until I find other sources to corroborate, but in a pinch it works well.

Kobo and Boox are better at making eReaders anyway.

And it does send a signal.

I hate it because it’s just a sign of disrespect of the publisher towards the legitimate customers. Guess who has a better experience when the DRM goes to shit or slows down the game? Those who didn’t pay.

I just won’t be part of the first customers, I’ll wait for the game to be cleaned up of this bs.

I’ll just wait for it to show up DRM-free on GOG at a discount ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

tor.defcon.org is considered a guard node, and your browser likely chose to prefer that one to bootstrap itself.

Only when a contact sends me a Reddit link, which I open through Geddit as to not give them any ad revenue, and I do not comment or vote at all.

I don’t actively search for stuff fhere either.
