Apple has teased with making the iPhone-as-a-service, meaning you lease it instead of owning it.
I really like iPhones (more so iOS), especially with sideloading now.
But if leasing becomes norm and we can’t purchase it or get it through subscription of service (2 years with Vodafone and then the phone is yours kind of thing). I’ll just purchase an older Samsung. Then I’ll take the loss and struggle for a few months with the interface and all that.
Probably;
Unfortunately I don’t have knowledge about Android tweaks but I’m almost certain there is one.
Best is not to use the platform but if you do, then the best thing to do is; use a tweaked version.
One that removes the ads and gives more settings to tweak.
For iOS you can check EthMods Telegram channel and find the tweaked version and then install them through SideStore sideloading.
I’m wondering how Tumblr is a safe space while it’s still filled with porn-bots. I tried the platform several times and no matter what I do, I always get smacked with some random NSFW content.
Yes, I hate it. I hate that it fills every image platform. It is not art at all.
It’s a fun toy thing and can make decent images but its not art and can never replace actual art. When you compare for example an anime art of someone who actually drew it and the AI image, the drawn art is 9 out of 10 times better.
It’s also petty pretty easy to spot whether an image is AI or drawn made.
I’m satisfied and proud of myself (sounds ego-ish but hear me out). When I was a kid, I was in a school for children that could (or would) not learn. All you learnt was basics of life and at 18 you just work without a degree.
I worked my way up in education from lower education to now having a bachelor degree in Finance (the exact degree everyone told me, I would never be able to get).
I’m currently taking a bit off, trying to find work and might go for master degree or something else in my country that’s equivalent to the CPA of US.
I often silently say Fuck You to the family members who always told me “you can’t do it”, “just give up” and that shit.
We are propagandised all throughout school about ww2 and the holocaust
Apparently the “never again” only applies to European countries. At least, that’s what we are now witnessing.
I’m just one stranger but, I’ll never forget this either. My family won’t forget it and I’m quite certain this knowledge will be passed down from one generation to another.
Israel will be and is already known as a genocidal state with no justice, morals and is already considered the “second Nazi state” by many (included myself).
I once (just about when people went from reddit to Lemmy) posted an image that clearly showed the similarities of the Nazi regime and the current Israeli regime. Same ideology, same thought pattern, similar tactics and even the entire “lebensraum” (expansion) is the same.
Nazi regime wanted a “greater Germany”, Israel regime wants “greater Israel”.
The main issue is; many western and Arabian countries do not care, agree with what they’re doing or are unable to do anything about it.
They do not care as long as they’re able to profit from it somehow. One word; Fascism.
Is the Rumbling starting?
Shit like this always pisses me off.
I had this once happen few years ago with university books. Got emailed that it was delivered but I didn’t receive it and was home all day. Got them the day after.
Recently one of my family members got license and a car. Great! However, whenever something happens that person always starts to shout, insult and behave like a child throwing a tantrum.
It made me going from “oh you want to drive to x place? Alright” to “no, it’s okay. I will take the bus” real quick.
Is there a workaround for the people who are in the US when and if this happens?
I can imagine sideloading(?) but how about the less tech-savvy people?
As I’m half Arab/half European, my Arabian family tried to talk my native language. One of them wanted to say “I love you” which is in Dutch “Ik hou van je”.
He ended up saying; “ik geil van je” which translates along the likes of “I get horny of you”.
Had a good laugh but was bit odd to explain lol.
I had a lot of motivation to learn but that all crashed down when university started. Pandemic happened, professors did not want to give online classes and not allowed to ask questions in online class.
I went to university because*, I want the degree and the job with it.
We have a different opinion on this matter and that’s okay.
If professors don’t want to teach… Then don’t? Having professors that don’t want to listen, read of a PowerPoint* and such. That ain’t fun either.
Well, learning the grammar won’t be within the 5 months of the thesis. I refuse to have lots of delay just to satisfy the professor and pay the university money just for that.
Whether it is an easy route or not, I honestly don’t care. All I care about is getting the degree.
And yeah, if that person wants to stop teaching writing. That’s their decision.
I see it differently… Certainly students have to learn it. However, when a student tells you explicitly the person has problems with it and the professor refuses to listen. You can bet the students will resort to ChatGPT. It solves the current problem.
If the students just copy-paste it all then obvious they get caught.
I, personally, have had issues with grammar in my native language since I was a kid. I have books to learn but that won’t solve the immediate issue with the thesis at that time. ChatGPT solved that issue directly.
So what I did was making sure there were at least 1 or 2 mistakes.
Also I graduated and currently just waiting to get the degree and searching for a job lol.
It had a good impact for me, it saved me from an immense headache of university. I explicitly told the professors that, I have issues with grammar (despite it being my native language).
They kept freaking out about it and I eventually resorted to ChatGPT. Solved the issue immediately.
I sure do.
Just don’t play Nintendo games lol.
Yeah, let’s just throw away everything and never touch childhood games or even games that you do enjoy on actual good hardware. Just because a stranger deems it necessary. Such as good idea /sarcasm
That’s what I do.
Alright, good for you.
I didn’t grow up with these ‘classics’
Here’s the reason, you might not want to play them now and others do. As someone who did grow up with these games, I love to play them but hate Nintendo and their crappy hardware.
I can enjoy them through emulation and on a good PC. So I will (and others probably).
and I don’t feel like getting into these as an adult. 🤷♂️
Okay then don’t?
Yeah, I have. Back then I was active in a lot of political and semi-political communities, at first it was pretty decent and people were polite, debates with actual facts and links to trustable sources.
After a while though, people become more hostile, insulting and debated with emotions and zero facts. I just grew tired of it and wasn’t really active in any other community. So I left for 4-6 months.
Then one day got bored, decided to return to Lemmy but unsubscribed from every political community and I straight up blocked anyone who’s being a douche. I now stick a few communities (Piracy, gaming and books).
