  • Google gives Android users a way to install unverified apps if they worked hard for it(including waiting 24 hours)

  • It's an Android fork that has been degoogled

  • People who live in a theocracy; is social climbing through the religion possible or is it just fascism with the religion esthetic?

  • Trump didnt come to power by being good at buisness.

    He came to power by being good for business, or more specifically, good for billionaire backed businesses...

  • At this stage, I'm thinking one of the Motorola phones that will run Graphene out of the box.

  • Coffee ☕

    Jump

  • There was even an entire standards document drawn up (as a practical joke), called the Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol (HTCPCP 1.0). To this day though, there the server status response 418 - I'm a teapot still exists. It was defined as part of HTCPCP as the error code returned when you tried to get a teapot to brew coffee :)

    Web nerds took their coffee seriously! Or maybe they didn't? Does doing up an entire standards document as an april fools joke count as serious or unserious?

  • And again, confirming that my current phone will be the last android device I own.

  • Robot dogs priced at $300,000 a piece are now guarding some of the country’s biggest data centers

  • In a zombie apocalypse where do you hold up assuming you can secure any location you chose?

    Jump

  • But…if zombies don’t need to breathe, can they just walk under the sea to an island?

    Sure. Some will absolutely end up there, but it would be far less than on the mainland.

    one of the larger, immediate problems you face in a situation where you have infrastructure break down

    I was thinking of the islands off of the coast where I live. Most of which are large enough to have small fresh water streams.

  • On a tropical island somewhere. It might take a while to clear the whole island, but after that, it's a pretty good way to ride out the apocalypse...

  • I can and I do, often when I find people speaking Spanish! (I'm in Australia, I speak a bit of Spanish, and it's uncommon in Australia)

  • (Roughly) how old are you and how did you come to be on Lemmy?

  • Gen X but I came to use (and host) lemmy as an act of rebellion against corporate controlled internet

  • I haven't banned any blahaj based accounts with that ban reason in the last 12 months.

    To give a summary of the remote accounts I've banned in that time though...

    1. Said that "all land is stolen" to downplay genocide, and then called people delusional when another person said that doesn't make it ok.
    2. A troll with a mile long modlog who said that arab community "got what they deserved" when Trump implemented a travel ban
    3. Another person in the same thread as person number 2 who said basically the same thing
    4. Same as person 2 and 3

    There were a couple of accounts that had been deleted, and no history was available. And a couple of accounts where content was removed, and/or a community ban was implemented, but no other instance bans.

    I'm quite happy to stand by all of those bans. And if you aren't sure why they're ban worthy, well, banning you was the right choice...

  • You’re forgetting an important detail

    I wasn't forgetting it. As it stands, at the OS level, you aren't supplying anything to prove your age. It's just a data field that software can read. And my point was that if that field, and social media was all it ever was, then, it's not great, but I can understand why the OP isn't too upset by it.

    My point was more that it will never be just that.

  • Oh fuck off. She never pointed to any comment or post of mine for the reason. And she kept being weasely as fuck about it. Probably because she knows I’m right.

    Modlogs are public, and come with removal reasons

  • You aren't setting up your childrens accounts. You're setting up your accounts to show that you're not a child. And suddenly, every single thing you use, from apps to websites, is gatekept behind an API that is controlled by the government. If checking age on social media is all it ever does, then sure, whatever. But that isn't all it will ever do. It will creep further and further, and the details you need to provide will increase, one shitty government term at a time. And then one day, they'll able able to decide that people in your country shouldn't be able to see safe sex information, or abortion information, and the framework to deny the whole country access is already there, and just one small tweak away from locking you out of information that is deemed inappropriate.

  • Coffee, yerba mate and cola.

    No idea how that works out in mg, but I have 2 or so coffees a day, both of which are double shots, and then normally a mate and/or a pepsi or two

    Sometimes I drink 3 or 4 coffees in a day, but I tend to go down to single shots after the 2nd one

  • What is your oldest living presence on the World Wide Web?

  • I have a 26 year old Whirlpool (an Australian broadband forum) account. It was made in 2000.

    If you count Usenet, that goes back 30 years to 1996. It's not technically the web, but the archives can be found on the web

  • What video game did you not expect to like as much as you did?

    Jump

  • That's ok. I knew it wouldn't hit the same the second time around, even if the choices were meaningful, so I never went back to it. It remains perfect in my memory

  • I spent six weeks in Argentina by myself, and it was one of the best experiences of my life. I just went wherever I felt like as I felt like it.
