Do people still use Google search?

Google literally has more than 90% ofthre global marketshare https://gs.statcounter.com/search-engine-market-share

It would be nice if we could choose our bias. Sometimes, we might want it biased towards scientific sources, sometimes, towards user-generated content, sometimes towards institutional sites, etc.

It’s not just a matter of discomfort for something new, but at something highly dangerous. Deepfakes have several bad and disturbing use cases, like itentity theft, sexual exploitation, marketing abuse, political manipulation, etc. In fact, I hard to find a significant good use of such technology.

It would be the solution to phone obsolescence. This concept, paired with project treble would allow us to run our phones for as long as possible. Want a screen with more pixels? Just install one. Phone getting behind on specs?Change the cpu or add ram. Want a better camera? Just get a new one. At some point, the chassis would need to be replaced, but even then, you could reuse some of your installed conponents. It would be so awesome.

I mean that we may think that supporting fm radio isn’t worth it, but, if it’s only a matter of software, it could be done without much trouble. For example, if the android ecossystem was truly open, this feature could be supported by the interested part of the community, allowing users who want the feature to have it, while not bothering anyone else.

Indeed, interference is the greatest enemy of analog signals. It’s not impossible to shield, though. Other parts are already shielded, but I can see how it could have become more challenging.

Btw, I thought it was more related to frequency than components size, but now I’m confused, I will look more into it when I have more time. Thanks for bringing this into the topic.

Well, thinking about it like that really puts things in a new perspective.

But what’s the problem with having an analog component?

Also, your last claim is weird, because the headphones will ultimately require an analog signal, so, it just changes the place where the conversion is made, either in the user device, or in a digital circuit inside the headphones, and the cable diatance is small enough for adding interference. Your better sound experience is probably due to manufacturers making better sound actuators, not due to the digital data transmission. Try some really cheap bt headphones, and you will see what bad quality is.

I was so hyped for project aria back then… It was so sad that it was discontinued.

That explains a lot… :(

It’s nice to see syncthing becoming more popular. It’s a great foss app that deserves more attention and can be used in so many contexts, replacing several proprietary and restrictive solutions

You probably mean the relay servers. They are used in case your devices are behind a NAT and don’t have any ports forwarded. In that case, it would be impossible for devices on different networks to communicate over the internet, so the relay servers make the communication work. It’s not something to worry, since your data is encrypted when passing through it, but it can be disabled.

At one hand, I like lemmy for being smaller and cozier, but on the other, the possibility of reddit becoming unprofitable due to lost users is so awesome to be missed.

COME ON REDDITORS, JOIN LEMMY AND LET REDDIT ROT!

Still far from easy for the average user.

And the poorer people find themselves having to trade their privacy for access to technology.

Looks like the best between being practical and secure. Too bad I suck at making knots.
