How so?

Because it's annoying. I don't want to go back and forth across different feeds. I just want one.

Yes, really. Speed /= precision.

Doesn't really matter how "powerful" they are when they're in a separate feed.

LMK when they add the ability to follow hashtags.

Also I hate when sites make it to where you can't see anything until after you create an account.

I have no idea why this advice suddenly became "lower the sensitivity and just use your whole arm across your whole desk"

Because that's how you get the greatest level of precision.

One could use the context in the OP to infer that the jurisdiction is the USA.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 5 hours ago

Yes, the law professors and Meta are both based in the USA.

I was more commenting on the fact that it's an incomplete sentence. What does it have to do with Lemmy?

Remind me which government is attempting to dismantle encryption?

Lemmy instances with *key instances!

Huh?

Phanpy is phenomenal and fixes a lot of the problems Mastodon and all microblogging platforms have.

It's not a scam. The retailers don't care where the money comes from.

It's just a terrible terrible idea.

 

This seems like a super useful app with almost no community around it. I can't seem to find very much information at all anywhere. Someone add me: briar://acqllat453fdlhu6vgmjeslxuize2ms55iswqqkt4s7qi2pyhuwt6

A few days ago I noticed a marketing email sent to my Zima alias. Apparently lots of other people also noticed this and were not happy. Attached is the IceWhale response.

 

Android has a greatly overhauled desktop mode on the way to replace the current primitive proof of concept in developer options. 6th gen Pixels added hardware-based virtualization support and 8th gen Pixels added USB-C DisplayPort alternate mode. It will all come together soon.

Overhauled desktop mode is already partially shipped as a disabled-by-default feature. Android enables some of it for the Pixel Tablet already but not Pixel phones. We plan to enable the same feature flags for phones too. Either way, it's an experimental developer option for now.

 

Playtron has made some waves in Linux gaming. They have lots of big names in Linux working on the project. Recently they were featured by Framework today in their presentation. However, I think it's abundantly clear that anyone who cares about FOSS should stay far away from this.

I was intrigued by this as well some months ago. I even ignored when they blatantly lied about Valve/Steam locking down their OS to only play Steam games. So I gave it a try and installed it. On setup they wanted me to agree to a EULA. That was red flag #2. Never seen that before. Then they wanted me to agree to their privacy policy. It is a very typical corporate user-hostile privacy policy. Some highlights
