Don’t let lemmy become another shit fest that we just moved from.

Lemmy literally started as a political shitfest site. It's just now filled with the people from reddit too.

Their obvious solution to this is make you consent to it or you can’t use YouTube.

What do you think about this latest release?

Like the last few releases, it’s mostly a nothing release since Google put all their effort into pixel exclusive features now. I absolutely detest the current UI and how locked down the whole thing is becoming.

Do you think things are going in the right direction

Definitely not. Google are trying to make the pixels into iPhones, and they’re basically ignoring AOSP.

Is there anything you’d like to see prioritized in future releases

Customisation, especially of the UI. Let us change the size of the quick settings tiles for example so we can make them smaller like they used to be to have more of them.

Which device are you on?

I use an iPhone as my daily phone but I have a S21 Ultra and a Pixel 6 Pro that I use too.

Watch it be some rebranded existing FOSS product 😂

That’s why it’s not a good idea though, because complete anonymity is of course going to be a calling card for the worst of the worst illegal content.

I'm happy to help if you do actually want to set anything up. Same goes for anyone else in here :)

I've got Sonarr/Radarr/Lidarr/NZBGet/Jackett/Overseer/Bazarr/Heimdall/Headphones/Transmission all running in docker containers, with tailscale giving easy and secure remote access, and have configured them many times on many setups, and I know how daunting/frustrating it can be.

Great post.

One of the big things all the crypto shills constantly said was that banks are bad and crypto was the saviour because of the decentralised nature. Then they realised that it was complete shit to use without some sort of centralisation, so they made exchanges……which are just banks with less regulations……..and then those exchanges went bust and everyone lost their money and started calling for more regulation 😂

There’s no real world need for blockchain tech.

The quest is amazing. It’s cheap and completely standalone while also giving you the ability to use it with pc vr games.

No, open source code is no safer than closed source code by default. What it does is gives the opportunity for people to verify that it’s safe, but it doesn’t mean it is safe. Also just because some people have “verified” that it is safe doesn’t mean they didn’t just miss the vulnerabilities or nasty code.

Do you have an example of a device priced at $300 with competitive hardware to the base iPhone 14, without bloatware subsidizing the cost of the device? I’d accept that generally iPhones are ~$100-200 above the price of devices with competitive hardware, but a current gen iPhone having $300 hardware? The specs are very similar to other devices in similar price ranges

Not to mention that iPhones are literally best in the world in terms of the SOC. No other phone in the world matches them. Saying "their hardware is on average 1-2 generations behind other devices on the market" shows how wrong that person is.

What model + what country + did you get your phone subsidized by a carrier? Literally never had this happen on any of my multiple samsung phones.

I’ve been using it since day 1 and the difference is barely noticeable. Doesn’t seem to use noticeably less RAM, doesn’t seem to be any faster.

What is noticeable is the missing stuff. No avatars, background blur etc doesn’t work in videos, third party api support isn’t there so my stream deck doesn’t work with it.

I had high hopes for it but it’s a disappointment so far.
