Reddit is terrible as a website. But it still has the communities that developed there over years, and they are an invaluable resource. They are definitely positioning themselves to pull a Digg, but until the Reddit-killer comes along with a mass exodus (and it doesn’t look like it’s gonna be Lemmy unfortunately) access to those communities will entail dealing with reddit.

dragnet@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Introducing selfh.st/companions, a Directory of Companion Apps for Self-Hosted SoftwareEnglish3·1 year agoOn the one hand, sure. On the other hand, if there hasn’t been even a tiny bug fix or feature update in that long it calls into question (at least for me) whether when there is inevitably a breaking change, security issue with a library, whatever - that it will be addressed. If I don’t have some level of confidence in that, I’d rather not rely on the tool.
This kind of concern could be handled by contacting the developer or engaging with the community around the tool to see what the project status is, and why it isn’t being updated.

dragnet@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Which of these VPS providers would you recommend?English2·1 year agoI’ve used Hetzner for years without issue. Accessed through VPNs to the control panel without problems, changed password no issue, etc. I’ve never heard of them being “known for” the behavior you describe. This is just anecdote vs anecdote, though. I’d be interested to see some kinda evidence of what you’re saying.
dragnet@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Android map appcthat let's you copy fucking addresses31·1 year agoMaybe not, but like you were told from another comment waze is also a Google/Alphabet product. As an otherwise near fully de-googled phone user, google maps is still the best option I know of.

dragnet@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Futurology@futurology.today•Germany's largest telecom company, Deutsche Telekom, says AI will render apps on phones obsolete and is launching a high-end smartphone with only an AI interface.English76·1 year agoI could see this being great! In at least several years and possibly a decade or two, when AI is far more reliable than it is now. And when it can run entirely locally on a smartphone without major problems. And when there is sufficient adoption of this approach that the inability to use apps doesn’t cause interoperability problems for users.
VM detection that I’ve run into is not that hard to bypass, but it does subjectively seem to result in a less performant VM (haven’t ran any tests to verify).
Almost everything you said here is false, with the exception of controversy over the developer. However, GrapeheneOS is far from a single developer project, and the former lead stepped down a little while ago.
I have a 6a, which I tolerate for GrapheneOS. The battery life is absolutely terrible.
You are a fucking idiot
This is one of the first things addressed in the lecture.
dragnet@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•Smartphone manufacturers still want to make foldables a thingEnglish522·2 years agoOnce they are cheaper and more durable I’ll buy one. Its still a new form factor that hasn’t been perfected yet, but that doesn’t mean its wrong for manufacturers to keep at it
dragnet@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•I got this popup ad on my TV **while watching a DVD**English3·2 years agoThey could have a partnership with xfinity to use all those “open” WiFi networks, for one. Or some other sneaky way of sending data.
dragnet@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•I got this popup ad on my TV **while watching a DVD**English2·2 years agoWorks fine, I have two smart TVs I did that to.
Just convenience in the form of focusing on a user-friendly out of the box experience, really. That’s enough for me to use it over Debian on desktop, though I like Debian for servers.
dragnet@lemmy.dbzer0.comto THE POLICE PROBLEM@lemmy.world•8 Ohio cops shooting unarmed black man 40 times are deemed 'objectively reasonable' and will return to dutyEnglish51·2 years agoI’m well aware that articles have bias and the police are unduly trusted. But if articles like this are the standard for police wrongdoing, then we’re saying that we should automatically side against the police in all scenarios where they use force. If that is not a self-evidently moronic point of view, then you are beyond helping until that changes.
That last bit is not directed toward you. You are providing more perspectives backed by sources, which is the reasonable place to start.
Downvoted not because it isn’t true, but because they aren’t automatically mutually exclusive and because it is an unnecessary jab at half of the human species. Why are we paying attention to divisive bullshit instead of focusing on things that actually have the potential to help?
