ThankYouVeryMuch

I would guess it’s the warmest at first and then it gets cooler overtime.

I agree this is propaganda but it can also be true, in fact there are many other sources telling more or less the same worldwide.

A lot of propaganda is true, just half the truth, telling the good things of this side and bad things of the other. I would say there’s no news just propaganda, everyone putting out a piece of information (be it state or private owned media, independent sources, a blog, a post or a stream on social media…) does it with the intention of getting people to think a certain way.

That’s very cool, or maybe not it seems it could only allow other stores to install software and not ‘whatever you want’, but are they going to apply this rule to Nintendo or Sony, whose consoles aren’t a very different case to apple iOS devices, as well? No mention in the article

Lol I left with the APIcalypse, and I was an official app user, no regrets and never looked back. Why would anyone go to that shithole when you have the fediverse?

That’s_ not the cause though, most if not all languages have been influenced by many others. And pronunciation, meaning of words etc drift over time in all of them as well.
Most countries have gone through the process of revising their orthography, changing spelling or even adopting different alphabets to have kind of consistent writing systems for their languages.
None of this has been done in the English language, it uses the most basic Latin alphabet which was made for a very different language (when even many Romance languages directly descending from Latin have adapted it with new letters or diacritics), for example English has a lot of vowel sounds that Latin hadn’t and it even went through something called ‘the great vowel shift’ when changes in some vowel sounds got them closer to others that were ‘pushed’, these pushed others causing a sort of shuffling in the (finite) vowel space, but spelling didn’t reflect most of this.
In fact I think that in some cases the spelling took the more ancient version that matched the pronunciation even less like ‘plumb’ (don’t quote me on this, its from the top of my head)

That’s a Kbin thing, you’ll get used to it. Also images in comments like the one you posted doesn’t federate with some (I think, maybe they don’t federate at all) lemmy servers, so maybe they can’t see it either

Don’t worry, it’s a Kbin thing. It doesn’t format correctly some fancy texts from Lemmy and we see a text box with the html tags and all. It should be ok on lemmy

Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time… a long time

Everyone’s hair is different so you’ll have to find what works for yours, but there’s three things you have to do: washing, conditioning and untangling, how often and in what order you’ll got to figure out.

My hair’s curly and dry so for me is washing, conditioning and untangle with lots of conditioner applied. If you have straight and more greasy hair maybe you’ll condition first, with more conservative quantities favoring the tips/avoiding the scalp, and wash after, untangling with a daily dry brushing.

Hair ties are ok, just don’t go for too long with a very tight pony tail or bun. I keep my hair tied most of the time and my hair line is not the same as when I was 20 but I would say that is better than most of my short-haired peers (maybe improved uv protection).

And then you have styling products, there’s a whole world of them. I use leave in conditioner and/or gel, or nothing, or whatever shit I just got to try and see if my hair likes it (spoiler: the fucker usually doesn’t, and they’re not cheap). I would say in general foams and mouses give a dryer look while oily/waxy products give a more wet finish.

I agree to a certain point, I have Linux on all my computers because of the freedom. But I have an iPhone, the only apple thing I own, and one of the main reasons is the AppStore and how restrictive it is.

I would say that for the average end user being able to install software from anywhere is a liability and causes a lot more issues than it solves, I’ve seen lots of computers running like trash because the users kept just typing ‘download \ free’ on google and going along with any random shady site that popped. Apple cater more to these average users than to power users, and honestly the google play store is a dumpster fire. A walled garden doesn’t sound that bad when it’s the wastelands outside

It absolutely is Apple’s place to policy the content in their store.

Maybe they aren’t phone calls? The ‘Recents’ list shows calls made with other apps like FaceTime, WhatsApp…
You should be able to ask your carrier for a comprehensive list of outgoing phone calls, or check it in their app if there’s one

Right? And also two things:

First, android is FOSS the same as Darwin (the system under iOS) is. Apple puts its proprietary drivers, ui, and other apps the same as android phone vendors do.

An second, Free Software/Open Source doesn’t mean that you have to ship the phone with all the code anyone pushes. You have control of your repository. You can pay developers and only include the software the build. FOSS means that the user of the software has access to the source code, as well as other rights like modifying or redistributing it.

I see in a lot of discussion about free software some people say things like ‘the code is open to everyone so you don’t know what they can put there’ as if there were no filter or anything

I see lots of confusion here. Android IS NOT Free/Open Source software, at least not the one you get with your phone. It’s true that the bare bones OS is FOSS, but the same is true with iOS and Darwin. But they have a lot of proprietary crap on top of them.

The reason for offering a longer or shorter period of OS updates is a business decision, not a technical matter. There’s at least one android phone (fairphone that I know of, not an ad or anything) with 7 years of updates, which is longer than the iPhone.

These arguments of costs of development and having to support hardware fall apart when you take into account that some smaller vendors are offering longer support than bigger ones like Samsung or hwawei, and when you look at which hardware they mount, it’s basically the same. Same processors, very little variety in cameras and screens…

I can’t watch the video now. Was it or not? Honest question, not op btw

Well now that doesn’t make any sense

Edit: format

Where are the Texan pro-fetus now? Not that I have any empathy left for a prison guard mind you.

I see, typical trap from this fuckers. You can use this as an opportunity to learn to flash firmwares to things and to not trust proprietary software, specially nothing in the cloud for your home automation

This Shelly thing appears to be the typical cloud SaaS platform. What does exactly make it open?

Server owners and admins, and communities creators and mods can set the tone of the communities they manage, of course.

If you think a car community is too ford-leaning you can look for or create another one, if it’s the whole instance then subscribe to another instance cars community (I’m subscribed to the same communities from several instances, I guess it has to be pretty common), or even make an account in that other instance just in case the Chevy folk start hanging out with nazis, as they always end up doing, and the rest defederate from them.

Edit: oh! And you can block all the posts with a specific site as a source, so you can take away everything from fordnews.com and not see it anymore
