Fascinating stuff.

I do think there will eventually be pushback against the current oligarch model of technology, but it is likely I will be much older when it happens.

Just the nature of history. We are pretty early in the information age.

Just get a mid-range Samsung device and remove the relevant apps and get a custom launcher.

Or get a Fairphone if you can afford it.

Thanks for this!

I’ve been meaning to try Piefed, but never got to it.

Got me on that one! I forgot about WhatsApp.

For what it’s worth I didn’t have it logged in until last week when I needed to get in touch with someone.

I will need to log out.

I am aware of hardmode, I used to use NoScript.

It’s a bit too much work these days.

I don’t have any Meta apps installed. :)

I am assuming all of this trash is blocked by uBlock Origin?

It’s wholesome and by this point The Blue Danube is almost an anthem for humanity’s exploration of space.

What the hell is catbox.moe?

Isn’t “moe” a weird anime/manga genre with hints of pedo motifs?

I mean across all display devices, not just monitors.

Dont get me wrong, while I don’t have an ultrawide, I’ve seen some of them in store and they look wonderful. It’s almost like being in the future.

That being said, it’s clear that vertical resolutions/aspect ratios are far more widespread.

Ultrawide is extremely niche compare to vertical resolutions/aspect ratio. It’s not even close.

A comically bad “article”.

Interesting offering. I have been using Ecosia and it’s been working great.

YT search has always been comically bad if your looking for “long tail results”.

I don’t drive and have minimal experience with cars.

Does it make a big difference whether your Android Automotive solution is based on Android 13 or 15?

It’s been a long time since I’ve cared about OS upgrades for Android on smartphones, perhaps the situation is different with Android Automotive?

Thanks for sharing, this is cool!

Also nice to find interesting content creators who mirror on peertube.

Fascinating article. We don’t really get these types of attacks any more. It’s all professional criminals or nation state actors.

I wouldn’t trust Zuck-Zuck to clean up after my dog, let alone anything more complex than that.

I don’t think this is a Google thing.

We have working cross-carrrier RCS in Ukraine. No one uses it though.

I found the article to be rather confusing.

One thing to point out is that the video codec used in this research (but for which results weren’t published for some reason), H264, is not at all state of the art.

H265 is far newer and they are already working on H266. There are also other much higher quality codecs such as AV1. For what it’s worth, they do reference H265, but I don’t have access to the source research paper, so it’s difficult to say what they are comparing against.

The performance relative to FLAC is interesting though.
