No, you aren't. You just haven't been conditioned your whole life to accept 100% surveillance.

We aren't third-world yet, but if we can't excise the political cancer soon, we will be.

At least Chromecast for TV basically does this. I can search for something and it will tell me all the ways I can watch for any installed app even unsubscribed.

Still, the issue of paying multiple monthly fees to see what you want is ludicrous. It's as if the media companies maliciously complied with consumers' desire to pick and choose what they watch rather than pay $200 a month for 1000 stations they don't watch.

Now, you have to pay $200 to get all the services that have what you want to watch - and you still have to sift through the drek.

Much better, that. /s

Translation: unethical or uninformed developers are building cheep homes in flood zones and making bank.

So many people - some I know - are moving or want to move to Florida. They shrug when I remind them it will be under water within 50 years, and above 110 degrees Fahrenheit the majority of the year even sooner. Then there are the expanding diseases and parasites.

Can't fix stupid.

We both know it won't prevent them. They will just repackage their arguments to get the result they desire. For example, the supreme court appointments arguments.

I suppose the question is whether Rust is worth the extra work. I know nothing of rust. I know C#, JavaScript, and some other web app tools. Is Rust significantly better than those? Are there enough developers interested in Rust to encouage robust participation?

Can Lemmy handle plugins in a language agnostic way? If so, that might be a better route. Again,I am not advocating anything, just raising questions that can lead to an informed decision.

Yes. The FCC is part of the Executive branch, which is lead by the President, who appoints the leadership of the institutions that carry out the executive branch's assigned job: enforce and execute the law.

Nobody is advocating tolerance, at least I didn't see it. This is about ensuring free speech cannot be subverted silently.

Note I pointed out that the issue is the arbiter of "tolerable". Citizens need to make that decision with accurate information. In our case, that would be done through some department of the justice system combined with awareness and involvement by civil rights organizations.

Also, if you saw The Blues Brothers, you saw that Skokie Nazi march from the ACLU case, and the derision of them portrayed. Counter protests were equally allowed. This airs the issues in the light, where the unacceptable ideas can be countered.

The alternative is that those ideas spread quietly like a virus, unimpeded by facts that expose the flaws in those beliefs. Once people identify with the movement, it is very difficult to change their minds.

Well, my first criteria is an unlockable bootloader, followed by rootability.

Those alone usually pare the options down to 2 to 4 phones, so I really don't have to think too much about the cool features.

I expect to use my phone from 2 to 5 years, so compatibility with certain ROM producers is Aldo high on the list.

Any word on where lemmy.one stands on this? For the moment, I'm still getting this, but I'll create another account elsewhere if necessary.

This is my view, too. I still have my 2XL with fully updated LineageOS with MicroG, and it still feels "fast enough". I got the P6 because the camera stopped working after 4 years and the battery and USB charging port got flakey.

However, after I went with a custom ROM, the USB/battery problems went away. I still use it.

If I can't flash, I won't buy.

I'm using both Liftoff and Jerboa. I can't decide which is better, so I'm interested in others people love.
