I don’t see the hate for storing data in a sqlite database. It’s still your data, you get to do with it as you please, and I’ve yet to see the data encrypted (let’s not give anyone any silly ideas here). You want to see your data outside of the program, just download any sqlite viewer. If you don’t mind CLI, then the tools provided by sqlite are more than good enough and are only a few MB in size.

Everyone I’ve tried from the Play store feels too basic compared to Nova or their rating is too low because of bugs.

Edit: in hindsight it looks like I’m a paid shill for Nova. This isn’t the case at all. I’ve been looking at launchers for the past few weeks as I recently realised I’ve had the same set up style for over a decade. I don’t want to be the person stuck in the past doing stuff the slower and archaic ways when there are newer and better ways of doing things. I currently have over 20 launchers installed on my phone and I’ve been slowly trying some.

I hate those types of cookie consent forms because they feel like a dark pattern wanting to make it as excruciating as possible just so you give in and click accept all.

I have a friend who’s in the computer repair business. He uses PNY drives because out of the hundreds he’s installed, he’s yet to see one come back with a faulty drive, unlike some of the other brands he’s tried like Kingston. He gets the base size and base speed drives as his customers tend not to use a lot of data.

A lot of platforms strip out the meta data. All social media platforms and all messengers I’ve tried strip out the meta data. There might be some that don’t?

Does the meta get stripped locally or on their servers though? I suspect locally.

I’m not deleting them. They’re uploaded to the cloud at the time of creation. I also move them off my phone to my computer every 6 months or so - I do this just in case the upload to the cloud has ever silently failed. I deduplicate the images, so I don’t have multiple versions of the same image with different file names.

For me it’s not entirely about space. I rarely let the device get more than 2/3rds full. It’s also about speed. If I want to pull a photo/video off my phone, it seems sluggish when there are thousandths of files in that one directory.

I’m using a 128GB phone and it’s never full. But I export photos And videos off it once every 6 months. If I didn’t I’d need 1TB phone.

That’s because they asked the internet for those polls. The internet thinks they’re funny by picking the meme numbers. So I can understand why they chose to omit those numbers from their results.

YouTube STEM educator. 15 million subscribers. Probably in the top 5 STEM educators on the platform.

He released a video on the number 37 two weeks ago, with 6 million views.

Hello Veritasium enjoyer

I think you got the response we all expected you’d get.

I wonder why we don’t hear about open source anti-virus even though I think there are a couple of them out there.

Mine are about that price too. Maybe it’s just luck.

There are some free tier serverless options and such. I’ve never had a play as I’ve always feared getting a 50k bill without realising it.

Interesting. Is it a free VPS or something? Your VPS provider most likely isn’t the same company that owns the datacenter.

My VPSs are in different parts of the world and they’re in datacenters owned by different companies. My VPSs are not expensive either.

They don’t block datacenters, they specifically block publicly available VPNs. It’s not just Reddit that does this.

I have a few VPSs. I can connect to them with Wireguard and browse Reddit and the other VPN blocking services without an issue.

I believe some of them are on websites like OnlyFans, which can be real porn if they decide to do so. I imagine being on Twitch is a method to be discovered.

I also agree with what you said. I also dislike how pornographic content is served right next to normal innocent content. It’s like having porn channels on TV right next to the family channels.

AI or not, plagiarism appears to happen a lot. AI just makes it a little easier than it was before.

Someone who wants to push an agenda by trying to make a certain stance look popular. Downvote those who have an opposing opinion to try to hide the submission from people’s eyeballs.

Some people might believe a Lemmy account is worth something if they add value to it, just like what people believe with Reddit accounts.

Where/how is this obtained?

I’m curious about seeing an entire list of defederated instances.

I wonder if there are bot farms for Lemmy/Fediverse… There must be
