Next smartphone I buy, which one do you recommend?

Things that make me angry about my current smartphone Samsung Galaxy S21Ultra on a Verizon plan is the mandatory software updates in which they install WITHOUT MY PERMISSION stupid apps like Netflix and addictive gambling games and stacking block games and Candy crush. God knows what else they install without my permission. I...

Gallery looks to have some potential.

Is there a method to see which apps are using Firebase?

sabreW4K3,
@sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf avatar

Just been reading up on this, they’re basically using the push device ID to see when certain devices are receiving data and from what apps. It sounds like more work than its worth, but it’s clearly something that’s being used widely.

Yup

Not sure why this was voted down. It’s a great contribution and a reasonable point of discussion.

But theoretically, if someone set up an instance to host their videos, they could serve banner ads right? Wouldn’t that at least partly diminish the monetization problem?

That’s really good, thanks for sharing.

Hollywood to UK Govt: Investigating Pirates "Increasingly Difficult" * TorrentFreak (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Summary: A recent UK government inquiry into the challenges faced by the film and high-end television industry has recently received submissions from major Hollywood studios advocating for KYC (know your customer) rules for hosting providers, similar to banking regulations to identify money laundering. If adopted, this would...

That’s called an inconvenient truth. The fact of the matter is, if piracy was eradicated, concerts would be near empty and no one would know the music. Films that don’t leak don’t generally do as well unless you count blockbusters and even then, take Spider-Man, even if people pirate, fans will go and see it a few times. The problem isn’t the piracy, it’s that they can’t profit off of it directly.

Piracy is how I discovered MF DOOM and then I bought all his albums because I wanted to support.

Can I ask, why wouldn’t you use the WiFi send feature built into KDE?

Anyone that promises encrypted mail is a liar. Until the email consortium or whatever they’re called offer encryption as standard, all email is sent as plain text.

Shouldn't we be switching buses with light railway? (lemmy.tf)

Even if you think what you would say is obvious, please add. This is genuinely something I think makes sense regarding local bus routes given the longevity of light rail and how infrequently routes change, but I also suffer from confirmation bias, so I’m hoping for reasons this would be a terrible idea but obviously would...

So I happen to know this admin and I have to say, stay away at all costs. They’re super nice and so once you’re in their sphere of influence, you’ll never be able to leave. You’ll be trapped in the quicksand of a really nice time 😭

Just in case I wasn’t clear. Gabe is a top admin. Check out the instance.
