Same! I miss being able to use it for swipe actions like I could on my note 9 a few years ago too…

For me it’s mainly a nice backup for when the Xbox or TV is occupied by someone else. I don’t think I’d use it as my prime source of gaming. It works but it’s not quite as good as the actual playing on your own hardware.

Saw that, isn’t it strange to never have seen that from any other app then?

Yeah, turning off images wouldn’t be too bad either. If people want to post inages you can just as easily upload them somewhere else and link them.

Sorry to hear that mate! That’s one of the biggest reasons I’ve never wanted to move towards IT forensics even though I think I’d enjoy the actual work. But having to regularly sift through the absolute worst humanity has to offer sounds awful.

Hope the immediate pain of it settles as soon as possible!

This might not be what people want but since beehaw is going to leave Lemmy anyway, couldn’t you just completely defederate and run as an isolated instance? Then you’d have control of what her life gets published without having to deal with federated nastiness?

Looks pretty nice tbh! Probably going to stick to my current phone a few more years until it stops being updated but if I manage to break it this might just be the replacement.

That sounded scary at first!

You guys are doing great, all of you!

And yeah, that was a risky move, a good one in hindsight, but still has to be scary?

Sorry to hear you’re having a rough time!

My week’s been good. Finally started my four week vacation time. Feels so good, though we don’t seem to be getting any of that heat that the rest of the world is suffering under. It’s been somewhat chilly and absolutely pouring outside almost 24/7 for a while now.

Wish it could be at least dry and somewhat warm. Still so nice to be off work though!

Looked like ads at first. Gave me a slight cyberpunk vibe for some reason. At least big corpo dystopia.

Same, I wish everything didn’t have to be a video. Sure, for some things videos makes sense but it feels like 75% of them would be better as an article with a few pictures (or code snippets depending on the contents).

Ouch… that’s pretty bad…

That’s terrible! I hope he pulls through! :(

Noo! I can’t get enough summer! I don’t feel alive during the dark cold winters…

It’s hard to draw an exact line somewhere too. You have to compromise or you’d end up worse than Stallman and Snowden combined. All technology ends up off limits then but still. Avoiding obvious and actually avoidable pitfalls is a good practice I think.

Defining and finding those pitfalls on the other hand…

That’s basically where I’m at as well.

Ignorance is/was bliss… I used to not care as much about security concerns but these days I’m a bit more paranoid when it comes to IT security overall.

True, these days I wouldn’t really flash a phone that’s till supported… but when they hit end of life it’s another story. Using an unpatched android phone isn’t exactly optimal.

That is a pretty good point to be honest.

It might be a bit safer… but you still have to trust the source?

But yeah, I flashed an official Lineage OS nighly that I got from their own site… It still bugs me though and I kind of wish it didnt. :P

It is a fair point to be honest.

Closed source could be a bit safer due to liability I suppose?

If they were to do something really nefarious and would get caught they’d get sued to pieces and probably lose most of the reputation?

Sure, a shady rom would lose it’s reputation as well but that’s about it. There’d be new ones out pretty quickly.

And for what it’s worth… I don’t think they’re doing anything shady… but still.

I mean, I use Linux on my main machine at home. That’s open source. I do trust that though…

This all struck me after flashing an old phone I had laying around (My main phone is supported for 2+ more years) and then feeling like… do I want to use this now? I got a slightly dirty vibe from in. :P

Being security conscious is annoying at times…
