I think they would just make it extra shitty. Nothing to do plus normal workplace rules: no sleeping, no private conversations or electronic devices, nothing not work related on the computer. Enjoy doing nothing nothing, where anything remotely resembling a mental escape is not allowed.

Hey guys, I am somewhat new to android (went straight to grapheneos) and am a bit annoyed with this widget.

It looks good, but the skip buttons are tiny and my gorilla fingers have trouble hitting them reliably. Is there a way to change to a different layout with bigger buttons or even gesture support?

I am aware that most music apps come with a widget for the home screen but I specifically need the one shown on the lock screen and pulldown menu to change.

Thanks in advance!

Streaming went to shit when everyone made their own. It was good and worth the money when it was one portal with everything available.

Now i am back navigating the stormy high seas, to avoid the treacherous shores of bankruptcy

Hallo, ich hoffe das Thema passt hier mit rein, auch wenn es nur angrenzt an das Privatsphäre-Bewusstsein. Also folgendes:

Ich habe kürzlich einen RSS reader installiert, und mir einige feeds abonniert, in erster Linie Nachrichten, um die elenden daten-oder-geld-banner welche auf vielen seiten heutzutage verwendet werden, zu vermeiden.

Leider musste ich nach langem zusammenklauben der feeds feststellen dass der Großteil der Anbieter den feed nur als Weiterleitung auf deren Website behandelt, was den Sinn des ganzen ja komplett verfehlt.

Die einzigen die ich fand, welche tatsächlich auch information darüber verbreiten und zumindest halbwegs seriös sind, sind die Tagesschau und n-tv.

Das ist aber leider recht mager, kennt jemand hier vielleicht noch andere gute feeds, welche auch tatsächlich feeds sind und nicht nur links mit clickbait Überschrift?

Interessieren würden mich allgemeine (globale) Nachrichten, innenpolitisches, und allgemein zeitgenössisches linkes bzw. progressives Gedankengut. Meinungsmache aber nicht, journalistische Mindeststandards und eine gewisse Neutralität sollten schon eingehalten werden.

Erwähnte feeds: https://www.tagesschau.de/XML/rss2 https://www.ntv.de/Politik/rss

Hallo, nach meinem vorigen post von vor ein paar Wochen (https://lemmy.zip/post/12072494) bin ich jetzt dabei mein leben insgesamt von so vielen Konzernen wie möglich zu befreien (das schlimmste bisher war der Wechsel von spotify zurück zu lokalen Dateien die mir gehören, man findet fast nichts mehr außer mainstream releases).

Klappt soweit ganz gut, allerdings scheint es keine wirkliche alternative zu Google oder Apple maps zu geben. Alle Dienste welche ich mir angesehen habe waren leider zu unzuverlässig oder unvollständig.

Ich muss auch endlich mal meinen Gmail-account wechseln (habe ich seit bald 20 Jahren, wird sicher spaßig die Adresse überall zu wechseln). Gibt es da etwas empfehlenswertes? Ich habe proton ein paar mal in Kommentaren gelesen. Bin ich damit gut beraten?

Dann gibt's noch „Nischen-Apps" wie die banking apps meiner Sparkasse oder das digitale busticket welches in meiner Region verwendet wird, beide sind im Grunde alternativlos, aber nicht notwendigerweise sparsam mit der Datenerhebung.

Letztendlich sind da dann noch die verbleibenden messenger (telegram und discord) welche ich auch gern los wäre, ist aber leider komplett abhängig davon was alle anderen benutzen. Besonders discord missfällt mir, die sind fast so schlimm wie facebook mit der schnüffelei. Ich habe aber mal bei oberflächlicher websuche einige alternativ Clients entdeckt, vielleicht tut sich da ja was auf.

Vielleicht hat hier ja jemand ein paar tips?

I was wondering if you could add alternate icon support for the Android version, so it can be themed properly.

Obviously this is purely cosmetic, but it would be a very nice addition

Update for future readers: the functionality actually already exists, choose one of the themed icons for voyager from the list.

Hey, ich bin momentan auf der Suche nach einem neuen Smartphone und würde gern so "offline" wie möglich sein:

möglichst kein OS / keine Software von den großen tech-Konzernen, kein Tracking, Login, telemetrie etc. Wo es nur geht. AI Features finde ich grundsätzlich interessant, möchte aber wenn dann nur lokal laufende (offline) Funktionalitäten.

Ich hab mich bisher eher wenig mit meinem Datenschutz auf dem Handy befasst und bin daher noch recht planlos was das Ganze angeht. Empfehlungen oder allgemeine Anregungen sind gern gesehen 👀

Edit: danke für die guten infos, ich hab mich jetzt für ein Pixel + grapheneOS entschieden.

I mean, some cash is nice but the reason people don’t have kids is

  • a bleak future in the face of a collapsing ecosystem
  • late stage capitalism forcing people to work all day just to be able to afford existing
  • degrading childcare infrastructure amidst missing teachers, preschool educators, daycare workers, etc. And a general social climate hostile to raising children
  • and lastly of course the crippling loneliness epidemic, leaving many people (particularly men) unable to find partners

So I recently doomscrolled imaginarystarships, and saved a few posts I liked. When I wanted to revisit those I discovered that saved posts are sorted by when they were originally posted, not when I saved them, causing some of the older images I saved to be very far down the list. This is very annoying to deal with if you (like me) sometimes go on a saving spree regarding a specific topic and would like those saves to be logically grouped together.

I noticed that some instances seem to sort of shadowban users from what I presume is any instance not on a whitelist.

This might sound like it might be regular defederation at first, but I can see or interact with their content just fine from my all feed while anytime I attempt to interact with communities on there in any way literally nothing happens, as if my contribution were invisible.

No replies, up or downvotes, no deletion or ban. Just shouting into the void while everyone around you (from that or other whitelisted instances) is having lively discussion.

Granted there is also the possibility that my contributions were uninteresting but my general experience is that people love to argue, or at least downvote whom they disagree with.

Is this a thing I should be aware of? That some federated instances have unilateral shadowbans in place?

Wasn’t that evident from the very first few days, when we learned the board stood for the non profit, safety first mother org while the booted ceo stands for reckless monetization?

Now he’s back, the safety concerns got silenced, money can be made, people can get fucked. A good day for capitalists

Not knocking your worthy efforts, but the vast majority of people don’t turn conservative because of ideological reasons, they do it because they want to keep what they acquired over their lives.

The people don’t become conservative any more because everyone younger than 40 pretty has pretty much gotten the economic middle finger across the board, so people turn radical instead. If I have nothing to lose I don’t feel protective of the status quo.

But the greedy fucks in charge around the world are so removed from the reality of life they cannot see past their bank account, and would rather concede to fascism to keep things going for a bit longer, than making the needed changes. For the lost generations and the planet itself.

Not surprising to anyone who remembers that the saudis gave Elon the money needed to buy Twitter. Naturally they have an anti democratic interest in it

Foreigners living comfortably in the free west while supporting authoritarian assholes in their countries of origin make my blood boil. The fucking Russian bootlickers are just one side of the coin, the Turks who vote at the fucking airport for erdogan and then come back to live in a nice liberal society are just as bad. That’s an utter farce of an election.

That bullshit makes me resent double citizenships, its neither democratic nor fair, to either society. Make your bed and sleep in it.

Eh, there is sufficient evidence to recommend children and teenagers having limited internet and social media access during their formative years at this point.

The tiktok algorithm of mindless doomscrolling funny little bits all short and digestible for a decaying attention span is just the most egregious example why restrictions should at least be considered.
