The fact that other publications are more right leaning than The Guardian doesn’t make it left leaning. It’s a liberal paper, supporting liberal positions and routinely expressing opposition to leftists like Corbyn. In my book, support for liberalism and opposition to leftism makes it a right wing publication.

We USians often don’t realize that the Guardian is a right wing publication. A frustrating number of people in US circles (especially liberals who don’t know they aren’t leftists) think anything European/UK is ideal and that conservatives don’t have any influence there.

This is a good idea, except that it requires money. I already have an old Pixel right here that I can put Graphene on.

I guess my point is, it’s not necessary to harass people about their choice of phone OS before you know their situation. 🤷

It’s an issue for accuracy in the comparison images that were posted.

That’s just language Nazis understand. You do eugenics at gunpoint because something something anvestors–your blood line ends.

You want to eliminate their entire bloodline because someone in their family advocates eugenics? What the fuck kind of a suggestion is that? Are we supposed to kill your entire family now because you’re advocating for eugenics too? Where does that end?

I have been using Bazarr for that, it works well. Pretty much just set it and forget it, and subtitles are just… there.

I dunno how familiar you are with the US military recruitment and training process, but they are very much selected for and drilled specifically to follow orders without question. I wouldn’t advise getting your hopes up that there’s going to be some sudden mass resistance within the military against fascist orders. It’s not impossible, but very unlikely.

How can you seriously assert that people are using the term too lightly when you apparently don’t even know why they’re saying it?

Could you define the words “fascist” and “communist” as you understand them?

Why would using Apple’s walled garden be a solution to Android becoming a walled garden? I can’t understand why this sentiment of moving to use Apple comes up so often lately.

Aha oops I edited at the same time as your reply! Thanks for the elaboration, that’s helpful!

What does “ssd” mean in this context? I’m guessing it’s not solid state drive since that doesn’t make any sense in these sentences, but searching that acronym isn’t very helpful.

Edit: I guess it means “server side decorations”. I see that OP did use the full phrase once, but it didn’t click with me initially. Wikipedia says that means the window manager draws titlebar buttons, as opposed to client side decorations which enables the app developer to control the titlebar of their app.

This sounds like a perfect use-case for setting Junction as your default “browser”: https://flathub.org/en/apps/re.sonny.Junction

It shows a dialog when you open a URL, allowing you to specify which browser you want to use each time.

In theory, you could then open links in your host OS browser usually, but still be able to select the VM browser easily sometimes.

Isn’t all of their concern kind of demonstrated to be unfounded? CoMaps forked the exact codebase being discussed and moved to Codeberg already, and they’re doing great now. Whatever it is that the Organic Maps team thinks is indispensable on GitHub is clearly not actually an insurmountable challenge to ditch.

I don’t want to discourage the effort you put into trying to build something useful, so I’m trying to say this nicely… you’d probably get more interest if you built a moderation tool that doesn’t involve AI.

Lemmy is probably an unlikely crowd to be looking to for positive reception of an AI nanny bot. Even less so on .ml, and even less so on an open source community.

Would games like Magic the Gathering and Gwent now be considered violating this patent? The wording in it seems ridiculously vague, I can barely understand what the patent is describing, and I’m not sure it means what “gamesfray” thinks it does.

Yesterday I had a nice moment watching my SO use CoMaps for the first time via my phone. I was driving, so couldn’t mess with adding an intermediate stop to the navigation, and she did it instead.

Anyhow, she’s literally never used the app before, and quickly found the business listing and added it to nav. I mean, she’s a smart person so her competence is not a surprise, but it speaks well of CoMaps and OSM that someone who is used to using Google Maps exclusively for years could just pick up this FOSS app and do what she needed painlessly.

It’s encouraging to me to see how increasingly nice an experience it is to be able to not use Google or Apple maps at all these days.

I mean, media didn’t get copied over from the past, only from the point I connected it on, so it never functioned as a backup. I’ve still got years of message data on my phone that I want to sync to somewhere else so I can get rid of this phone.

Awesome, thanks! I’ve already got it connected to desktop since months ago and it’s not syncing, so I assume I’ll need to disconnect/reconnect in order to trigger the prompt. I’ll give it a shot.

How do you do that? I really need to, because my phone storage is full and I don’t want to lose Signal media sent over the years by my SO. I’ve poked around in the settings and can’t see any way to backup to desktop.

All I can find is a link that goes to a documentation site that says you can’t transfer from Android to Desktop: https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360007059752-Backup-and-Restore-Messages#desktop_restore
