I am not dissing the phone, if I was in the market it would be a no-brainer, I am just interested in what a new phone could give me and when should I plan to switch.

As an FP4 owner, what is the point of getting an upgrade? I don't use my smartphone beyond calls and texts and a Lemmy app and listening to music.

What can you do on a new phone that you can't do on an old phone?

Honest question, I'm not being facetious.

It is specifically mandated in the new defense spending act that it has to stay domestic

This is ironic since Tesla itself is caught in the spiral around Elon Musk.

If I was cynical, it's just a default response of someone who knows how to develop an app for the Apple ecosystem and not for the Google one.

It's a bit sad that mobile phone apps are not cross-platform.

There are no current EU age verification laws on file, the DSA does not require anything like it. There is a solution in the pipe which lets people verify their ages without giving away personal info in the pipe, but it's not even close to being implemented.

So what the hell, Nexus Mods?

The "rewording ban" shows pretty clearly that it's not about the content, but that they don't want their precious dataset poisoned with LLM slop so they can better sell it to the slop generators.

Immigrants, populism, border fences, electoral autocracy.

If you are interested about how and why Hungary is as it is, this is a documentary just released by Partizán, the most viewed Hungarian news outlet independent from the Hungarian government.

The subtitles are not autogenerated but hand-made by the news outlet.

The outlet has a decidedly leftist slant even by European standards, but are considered mainstream in Hungary.

“people are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once” as a result of insufficient water pressure

How do US toilets work? It should be independent of water pressure, there is a tank of water that gets prefilled, right?

So creating a new repo on GitHub, you get a set of getting started steps. They changed the default branchname to "main" from "master" due to its connotations with slavery.

When I create a new repo now, the initial getting started steps recommend creating a branch named "master" as opposed to "main" as it was a while ago.

It's especially weird since the line git branch -M master is completely unnecessary, since git init still sets you up with a "master" branch.

Disclaimer: I have a bunch of private repos, and my default branchnames are pretty much all "master".

Is this a recent change?

Edit: Mystery solved, my default branchname is "master". Thanks bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone !

"The union made non-negotiable demands far in excess of what can be accepted if we are to remain competitive as a business,"

My dude, you literally have no competition! Your management bankrupted them by doing the same shit there that you are doing here! You know, before you all managed to fail upwards.

If you manage to be insolvent while running one of the largest monopolies on the planet, you should get checked out by a doctor, because it takes more than either base grade stupid or base grade malicious to be able to do that.

Also, isn't the whole reason Boeing is in hot water since they can't build shit right the fact they tried to fuck over the unionized workforce by building another factory in the Deep South, but the shit that comes out of there is falling apart? Seems to me, they need the union, not the other way around.

I mean, he's not wrong, but apparently saying the quiet part out loud became a faux pas in Hungary recently.

It's not as pithy as Orbán's "Rosatom will buy it for me" about RTL Hungary though.

At this point, using Firefox and an ad blocker does more for the climate than paper straws or recycling.

Even with ad blocking, half of consumer internet traffic is ads. Google is contributing to increasing this ratio, where most traffic on the internet will be stuff the client did not request, contributing more to climate change than Bitcoin - not that this makes crypto look better, they are just a useful milestone to compare to with the press they get.

And this doesn't include the idiotic AI shit they do.
