Google said a decade ago that gmail is like your secretary parsing through your mail to hekp out with scheduling etc., it was never to be trusted

Ah perfect thabks for the clarity, yes it was the username introduction that confused me - didnt realise it was both.

Neither do signal anymore i think

Them dropping sms took away a big carrot for adoption though.

I loved them, I had the Z flagships for a few years. Their naming convention absolutely sucks but given camera is a priority for me they are top of the list but they are a little overpriced to be honest.

I am looking at getting a Sony Xperia Z 1 V second hand, still a grand though

The bloat! It used to be apps but now it is baked in with knox, samsung services, ugh

I have been thinking about getting a S24 Ultra purrly for its AI less flagship position with stylus but I cannot pull the trigger on a samsung device.

Disclaimer, I am idiot with no time.

I know Joplin exists but I havent got around to setting it up.

Would you look a developing a shared notes app, Wanderlist used to be great before microsoft for Shopping lists.

In what way is it getting worse? I was hoping to move and use some patched apps and foss apps, is that being restricted?

Christ what the fuck kind of offer is that. Who wants these shit features for this price.

What is wrong wth a fucking discount code to show where you hot the referral.

I refuse all cookies everywhere and the internet works just fine.

Google have always tracked you using wifi, their street views cars have been collecting and geotagging wifi signals for decades now. Hooray for them doing the bare minimum when someone else tries to I guess.

I took a dive into linux and jellyfin and im too stupid for it.

See I didnt go that far, mindboggling

Exactly the issue, same as always. Signal got rid of sms because it was insecure but enable reply in notifications by default.

Pity they leave the nukes there, for a bunch of rabid capitalist morons

Light travels in straight lines, next year its a wave and then its particles. What you said isso true about uni rethreading.

At a user level, the biggest security compromise with signal is enabling notifications

DDG came out as a non bubble results search engine. It is absolutely a bubble result now. If I search a short nonsensical few letters, I will get random results of doctors, agencies and companies in my small Irish town. If you turn off location it just either does nothing or sprinkles in a couple other results into the hyper focused ones. They became part of the problem they were trying to solve.

My work just changed from gsuite to m365 and it is atrocious. Obviously fuck google but god damn if microsoft arent just the worst at designing UI and considering actual consumer concerns when dsigning programs. Quit your job if they change to office.

Brilliant, its a shame what is lost to claimed protections by rights holders. Great to see this.

They should hold their resellers to a standard. It isnt entirely their fault but they should have QA working on how people receive their products.
