  So, instead of burning your body working for miserable wages for a boss, you work yourself out taking pictures, and suddenly it’s bad?

  Seriously. I know only a few people can actually get a decent living out of this, but that sounds smarter than what the majority of people struggle with in the long run.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What launcher should I replace Nova with?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey, I’m using that. It works fine.

  …well, I have little to no expectations from a launcher beyond “can have pages, shortcuts, widgets, and hide apps”, so there’s that. It got a few visual customization regarding icons and grid size, and so on. The biggest praise I can give them is that nothing seemed out of place or annoying.

  PR welcome. Either by you, or by paying a dev to do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nova Launcher unashamedly inserts malware ads into your home screen now.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t used the pixel launcher in ages, but last time I did, you could not remove the “search bar”. That alone justifies a different launcher to me.

  You know what? Don’t bother. Ignoring that we’re “in control of violent Islamic extremists”, I’ll just keep on trucking in relative peace (even though I’m in one of the worst city out there).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have LLMs killed all future programming languages?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lot’s of assumption here. And having lived long enough to see “that’s definitely the best language ever” happens multiple times, I’m not too worried.

  Until we get something different than LLM that is able to actually understand what’s happening and combine things in different ways, the only thing that might dwindle in the future is the cost of rewriting the same app every six months, since an LLM might (still lots of assumption) be able to regurgitate it. People writing new things will still be required for a long time. And these people will want new, shiny languages for all the same reasons we keep making new languages to this day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's so annoying⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s also illegal. The “no fuck you” button should be as visible and accessible as the “accept all”.

  Make it as easy for users to withdraw their consent as it was for them to give their consent in the first place.

  Obviously, no one cares. There’s no real consequences, cookies are still dropped on your system regardless of consent, and cookies weren’t even the real problem to begin with, user profiling had already moved to include other invasive techniques.

  As far as making something complex and useless go, it’d have been way easier to work with the w3c to add attributes to cookies to identify their purpose (essential, preferences, etc.) so the browser could filter them out based on that attributes and the matching of the current website. It would have meant way less work on the website owners, provide ways for end-user to set their preferences universally and be done with it, enforced said preferences, and so on. And people that would lie on the purpose of their cookie would still lie, but could be caught red-handed (assuming anyone actually cared).

  Instead we got this mess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why isint lemmy more popular?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For an online service to get popular, it has to be either a new, really interesting thing with a lot of advertisement, have the support of some big celebrities (usually through advertisement too), or literally pay people to come en masse to artificially make it popular, so that more people comes organically (so, basically, a large advertisement budget). It also have to be easy because most people can’t read more than a few lines of explanations on why things are different.

  No lemmy instance have none of the pre-requisites, and the accessibility is not really there for the general public, due to various things. My main gripe is that federation and local moderation means you’ll have to create multiple account to access content from certain groups of servers, which is a lot to ask to people that can’t be asked to make even one account, but there are other minor things too. The sheer choice of instances and client, seen as an advantage by some, is simply a bothersome annoyance to people used to large platforms doing all the work of deciding what’s good and bad for them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me when Valve releases a phone⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Goddamn I wish I could build a custom phone OS like Arch. I would actually take the time and do that.

  You totally can. Android phones are basically a Linux kernel with a nice GUI. Just find the appropriate modules for your specific hardware, then assemble a suitable set of software to provide an user interface, and voila. We even already have good support for touch screen, phone calls, and a lot of other things available as separate pieces. I’m sure people will be happy to have this, myself included. Oh, and once you get all the pieces, remember to fix all the weird quirks, who would want a phone where the gyroscope stop working when you enable the camera, right?

  What? That’s too much work? Yeah. That’s exactly why people are seeking for a large, resourceful entity to do that. Because it requires a truckload of time, effort, and knowledge. Today, “building” a linux distro is possible because of the vast amount of effort invested in it for decades.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me when Valve releases a phone⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Openness. So far, Valve hardware offering is not trying to coerce you into a closed ecosystem, is not trying to forbid you from doing whatever the fuck you want with your device, and is not trying to force you to do things their way. They come with Steam, but you can basically do anything with them. Including removing Steam if you desire. And you can peek under the hood all you want.

  The current mobile phone market is either walled garden jail from Apple, where you have to follow their value to the T, broken iphone where you have to jump through hoops to get something that may or may not survive the next update at the whim of our corporate overlords, or Android, which I like the most, where Google can pull a fast one on you installing an app by hand if they so desire (yes, I know they sort of walked back… for now).

  Today, I see the phone I own as a necessary liability because of banking apps and such. I’d like a phone that would feel more like a device I own and can somewhat trust.

  Is Valve the best player for that? No idea. But no current player is. At best we got some software offering built to support a very limited subset of hardware, and that software offering is still tied to the upstream (usually AOSP) playing nice.
