downvotes are coming in hard. lol

Because it’s dragged down by conservatives and rich people who benefit off regressive policies.

Your statement is akin to “trickle down economics” where the elites control the fountain and gullible people think it’s going to reach them up any day now.

Itsfoss is blogspam and often have many mistakes and wrong info. People should really stop posting links from them.

Techcrunch has basically been an ad network for companies who want to promote themselves. Other open source projects probably don’t have a budget to pay for an a̶r̶t̶i̶c̶l̶e̶ ad spot.

I have devices with Android 4.4 still working smoothly. All these apple anecdotes that think Android just blows up after a few years is a shitty cope at best. There are also probably more old Android phones surviving in the wild considering how affordable they are and usually more repairable.

And guess what? without the OEM updates and playstore not having compatible apps usable anymore, there’s still troves of opensource apps and development going on that make it still viable as an alternative usage like media consumption, storage, security camera, and more.

Unlike Apple, where you’re just bound to a single store and no sideloading.

Android OEMs do suck at supporting their devices, is bloated but that doesn’t mean they all commit mass suicide after few years as sheeples think.

is anyone stopping you?

Congrats! You passed all your tests with flying colors.

my $100 Walmart tablet lasts all week with light usage, I doubt this could compare

probably not in a first release, but Android is convulted piece of shit compared to linux desktop environments. Not to mention Google’s and/or OEMs built-in system apps running 24/7 guzzling all your data in the background.

In time, I guess it would beat out in performance and efficiency but lose in the availability of applications, same as desktop linux.

There’s an easy solution. Dump and create new accounts every week or month or whatever fits your needs. Backup and move your data if you want (lemmy’s data import doesn’t work well with big data though).

Just like changing your password routinely increases your security, new online identity gives you privacy.

Because the fediverse isn’t as big as you think it is and so the number of crazies aren’t a problem yet.

I love me some Cloudflare MITM for my browsing data and authetication credentials. yum…

Also the ISP probably knows most of the servers speedtest owns and accelerate speeds for them along with other popular speed test websites, while throttling other regular connections.

Why is it that there is always an off topic highly upvoted deflection going on when topics that are being covered up by media pops up?

Can’t you for a moment not sway from the topic at hand or are you just one of those who are quietly trying to dissuade the narrative that the genocide going on to something like I don’t like who you’re listening to.

Stay on facts posted in the current topic and stop trying to removed and moan about something completely different. If the poster above posts something is debunked, shit on that comment.

Finally some excellent development. Time to Make Putin into Poutine.

I’m sensing some Israeli astroturfing going on. Many people are seeing Israel for what it is from since last year. In all this, Israel could use some diversion of attention.

And what better place to concentrate your efforts on other than the rise in islamophoia along with racism in current events. Help dehumanize your enemy abroad. Although the killer wasn’t even a muslim, they are still being targeted, even after the facts came out.

Seems very suspicious to me and Israel isn’t new to brigading and astroturfing. They in-fact have state-run programmes for it.

hydrophobia is no laughing matter. 😂

Oh sweet summer child. You think they’re the only ones that spread misinformation? Wankies aren’t much different than tankies. But whatever makes you sleep at night.

The only app in my opinion that has kind of reasonable size is their voice recognition, while it looks kind of ugly compared to Transcribro.

I think an icon of a microphone for a STT app is much much much better than that UX disaster Transcribo is. lol

I’ve been wanting a ccTLD domain that’s unused for a few years. The registrar suspended the domain (required contacts not updated) and put up a standard suspended notice, but doesn’t release the domain.

I guess the owner is a domain squatter and keeps paying the bill, so the registrar keeps getting paid. Easy money

yea. but they get to claim like they fund the opensource world. like come on… stop posting fake funding claims on an anonymous forum and hire yourself a developer team if you’re so invested in this.

But whaa… developers salary aren’t funded by your $2 dollar donations, even with 100s of donations. oh geez… who woulda thought.
