Uh Snapchat already does that. Nothing about it is encrypted. And deleted messages are only deleted from your device, not snapchats servers.

I mean, Google can sure try lol. Pixels make up like 1% of market share. If they cut off Android from everyone else, they would fall completely out in no time.

Gonna be real fun to see the crash test rating.

Without crumple zones, all of the kinetic energy goes into the occupants.

Yeah satellite sos is such an underrated feature. It seems like nothing until you need it. I almost had to use it yesterday when I was mountain biking up around the CO/WY border miles away from anything and no cell service. I crashed and the first thought as I hit the ground was “if I break anything I’m fucked out here” until I remembered I have the satellite SOS. Luckily I was alright, just tweaked my wrist and scraped up my arm pretty good. Was able to finish the ride back to the car.

But I would have absolutely been fucked without it if something happened.

For regular every day use, I’d be a little worried about not getting any security updates.

But something like this with emergency satellite texts (like a Garmin InReach or a new iPhone), this would make for a killer backcountry device.

Personally, after being on Android since the first Motorola droid and switching to iPhone a few years ago with the 12, I wouldn’t move back to Android at all.

I had Motorola for a while, then the LG g series for a bit, then galaxies until the s8, and then a pixel 4xl.

Google pissed me off with their warranty and support. My pixel had the internal battery cable fuck off and they wouldn’t repair it even though they acknowledged it was design fault. Because I was one week out of warranty.

I hated Samsungs bloatware, Lg was gone, Motorola was pretty nonexistent, and I didn’t want a Chinese owned brands like one+, oppo, or Huawei.

So Apple was pretty much it. I got a regular iPhone 12, and everything I wanted to do was easier than Android. Apple had a built in app for it without me having to fuck around with side loading or installing third party apps.

Android is undoubted better for customization and if you love having extremely fine grained control over your phone. Plus the benefit of being able to side load completely different loads of Android. You have MUCH more control over your environment than an iPhone.

Personally, I don’t give a shit about that. I do that shit at work 60 hours a week. For my personal devices I just want the shit to work. I also want Google in my life as little as possible.

Third party platforms can show more through the API than the web page. I see 12k on Memmy

Could depend on the third party client they are using. It might show all subscribers across all federated instances.

I see 12k from Memmy on iOS

Independent safety inspections and certification of designs. You don’t pass, you don’t sail.

Unless the Lemmy devs create their own app, the vast majority of users are going to use third party apps like mlem and Memmy.

So it’s still a problem with the platform if the username databases for instances don’t validate against each other to prevent reuse and impersonation.

That’s doesn’t mean anything though.

Nobody else can have the username Izzy@lemmy.world but Lemmy.world is only one of hundreds of instances on Lemmy.

I could go right now and make Izzy@<any other Lemmy instance> and depending on the client used, nobody would be able to tell the difference if that client doesn’t list the instance as part of the username. For example, both mlem and Memmy on iOS do not show full usernames by default. You just show up as Izzy to me. So Izzy@lemmy.world and Izzy@lemmy.ml would show as the same user to me.

Batteries are already fairly easy to replace if you’re not an idiot. A hair dryer, a little screwdriver, a guitar pick, and a 5 minute YouTube video is all you really need.

I guess the EU just misses the days of ugly plastic backed phones that die if they get slightly wet. Or you drop them and the back falls out and battery goes flying across the room.

Gotta cater to the lowest common denominator of humanity though I guess.

Yes but defederation is a one way thing. Not two way.

Beehaw defederating Lemmy.world doesn’t mean much for Lemmy.world because they haven’t defederated beehaw. Users on Lemmy.world can still see posts and comments from beehaw, but users on beehaw cannot see posts and comments from Lemmy.world.

The only issue for users on Lemmy.world is that if we comment on a post on beehaw, none of the users on beehaw can see it. Users from other instances can though.

Probably why he showed to to court without it yesterday. He looked like shit, even more than usual

I’m gonna take a wild guess and say it won’t apply to him.

Or if it does then he’ll just delete accounts he wants to block.

It really is that easy most of the time.

Are you me? Lol

I have about the same experience. Had my account for 11 years and lurked for a couple years before I finally made one.

I will miss it, but it was overdue to leave. The site had been declining for years.

I’ve been looking for a viable alternative for years but nothing has ever stuck. Lemmy seems like it’s got enough community already that there should be some staying power.

Bringing spez back on as CEO was one of the worst decisions Reddit has made. kn0thing leaving was the last cliff too before the whole thing really went downhill.

Fuck spez for killing Apollo.

I think the bigger issue is the lack of transparency. Tesla only reported 3 fatalities involving autopilot while the real number is 17. Not a massive difference when dealing with low numbers like this, but still a big issue if Tesla is lying about safety data.

Yeah. There are a ridiculous amount of users that just use the official app and don’t really care about 3PAs or the whole API situation.

It’s a shame. I remember the old Reddit before all the redesign and other crap they added.
