“Here are six apps to make you not use your phone as much”
Seems crazy that official summer lasted until just now, wow. Didn’t realize that
I still wish we would adjust our calender system by a few months, so the seasons align better with each quarter.
Is… is it summer? we are about to have fucking october.
First thing NK does i can get behind
The US didnt have to account for the likelihood of russian psyops and election interference destabilizing the country during these critical times though.
Speaking of mod power abuse, some days ago one of your mods deleted my (very mildly) snarky comment for “mod harassment”, which I didnt even know they were until that point. I suggested they should be a little less petty and argumentative in random comment chains.
I did not report that bs at the time because I honestly dont give two fucks about the guy and have since blocked him, but I’m sure you can find it in the mod logs.
I am not a court of law. I am not asking for them to be killed or even harmed beyond their sentences either, this is purely a moral assessment. The convicts aren’t just petty thieves, all hardened criminals or worse. I don’t have to want them to die, but I also don’t have to care if they do.
Would you lose any sleep if either of them died for any reason?
Why yes not all of them gang raped a little girl but all of them are convicted felons. If that plane were to crash the only things of value lost would be the lives of the flight personnel.
Removed by mod
Honestly a bot moderator is just open source enshittification of the fediverse if you did it like this. Bots have no nuance, do not understand context and are generally unable to apply reason to a situation.
The most egregious suggestion is user name based bans, this is 100% going to remove a bunch of users without real cause. Or having automod comment the same irrelevant headline on every single post is just causing spam and kills the comment count function.
In my opinion the bots should do all the tediousness for the moderators, and there may even be scenarios where a bot content filter could be invaluable, but in general any tool you put out there will also be used to its fullest extent by at least one person.
Like cops with too many powers, eventually they abuse it for everything.
Half the features are helpful and the others are obnoxious or useless reddit vestiges. Auto banning users, locking communities, deleting posts is all rather harmful and not conducive to interesting discussion and posts. Welcome messages and auto mod comments on every post are also plain terrible.
Make a slim bot with moderation tools that helps mods and admins to do their tasks more efficiently and comfortably, but dont offload the mod role itself to the bot. That is one of the worst parts if reddit.
The bot isn’t for your convenience but the moderators, obviously.
They didn’t add exciting exploration in the first place so it makes sense they would drop the pretense
Is that a recent change? I somewhat distinctly remember being offered Fdroid during the initial setup as well.
Is it really endorsement to offer the user upon initial setup to install it, along with fdroid?
I’d say that’s just general compatibility, most users have at least one play store app they can’t just stop using, in my case that would be the banking apps I need to be able to pay online.

This is the publishing house in question. It has a decidedly conservative bias and has often been considered a sort of shadow power behind the throne with its immense reach and influence; able to significantly affect the political discourse and public opinion. You could probably compare them to the Murdoch / fox news empire in many ways.
I’d still recommend a pixel if you care about your security and privacy, but the phone definitely isnt somehow extraordinary. Good quality (at least mine is), the expected specs for a modern phone, no complaints.
Just that it is, well, a normal smartphone otherwise. Unless you want to put a custom OS on it you won’t find it very different from any other smartphone.
This post reads a little like

The one thing the pixels really have going for themselves is that the user can degoogle them and slap grapheneos on it. Literally the only reason I bought a pixel, everything else about it is very much average.
Not a PR issue, a coordinated media bias issue. A great number of german media is owned in one way or another by the Springer company, and as such a small group of very rich kingmakers. The current government isnt conservative so they get the most hostile coverage imaginable, on purpose.
I’ve been watching the 40k gameplay and it looks just gorgeous aesthetically, but the gameplay loop seemed incredibly repetitive even after just a few minutes, forcing the player into finisher juggling.
If the StarCraft shooter can make the universe come to life similarly and also manage to not be as restrictive in gameplay I’d probably grab that.
