Mehdi Hassan is amazing, what are you talking about.

Ha ha ha ha 4 years… Despair

You are framing the issue to read the way you want it to be read. The customization and software options I am currently using, I have been able to make 90% of it work with a rooted phone and a combination of many open source tools and more. Now I get 100 % without theming breaking randomly, bluetooth being stable, not having to reset the phone every time I update to a new version, and more random issues I had with banking apps and others. I have control over my device stop dooming lmaooo. People use devices that fit their needs.

To give you a second opinion from the other guy, I’ve had quite a few Samsungs in a row at this point. From Galaxy S2 to S23Ultra skipping years between every purchase.

They are effectively the premium vendor of Android, at least for western audiences. The midrange has some good ones, but other companies do well there too. At the high end, Samsung might lose out a bit to google on images of people, but the phones Samsung sell are well built, have a long support life, have lots of features that usually end up being imported to AOSP and/or Google’s own version of Android. The last few generations are the Apple of Android. The AI features they’ve added can be run on device if you want, and idk what the other guy is talking about, but the AI features aren’t that obnoxiously pushed on my device, the S23 Ultra. I have some things on, most things off. Then again, I’ve used HTC for a few years and iPhone for two weeks, so except for helping my dad with his Pixel 6a while that device lasted, I’ve not really tried other brands. The added customization on Samsung is kind of a problem for me, because I don’t feel like changing brands after being able to customize so much out of the box.

And I’ve never had issues connecting to a simple Windows computer, given that the phone has always been able to use the normal Plug-and-play driver that is there already. If you have a macbook like I do, it’s a bit cringe, but that’s a macbook issue moreso.

I don’t particularly agree. Publishing is a tricky thing in the private sector, and we’ve seen a lot of scientific suppression by companies. Peer review literally requires the field to assess your work, and doesn’t end with the publication, but is a process that continues forever. Reproduction is a major issue, especially in fields proximal to mine (neuroscience , Medicine and psychology) and the whole process of open science with this type of review process makes it much easier to create papers that are reproducible.

The external influence is basically a given to produce science that holds up.

I installed PopOS this week. Let’s see if my experiment works better than this experiment from Microsoft.

Bro we got a lot of career politicians that have had their families intrinsically tied to our political sphere for ages. Also we have an insane revolving door of people being in politics and doing “lobbying” depending on the way the wind blows. There was also a bigger article with the actual stats on how often this has happened but I can’t find it. Anyway …

Bro spittin truth

my sapphire brain instantly got braille ptsd

I got a samsung galaxy s23 ultra. Battery and stylus are dope, camera is fun to use, but it’s slightly too big.

Yeah, like the sad case with the teachers a few years back. Confirmed my personal view that Rødt and maybe SV are the only parties I’d like to vote. AP really betrayed LO and the teacher’s unions in general.

Should be possible to add to steam as a non steam game etc? Sucks to do it in a roundabout way, but yeah

Maaan can Serbia just recognize Kosovo and be done with it. The war was like 25 years ago at this point fuck off…

Honestly everytime I have to feel proud for sailing I dance like an idiot while the magnet links are being being pasted on the real debrid

Good job ifixit! This should be a cause for outrage. Pretending to support the right to repair while also softwarelocking repairs is not just two faced, but actively harming the consumers.

I went to lemmy and my up to 5 hour of reddit use on and off every day is reduced to literally 0.

Lemmy even keeps me more sensible with the use for some reason. Wins all around for me

Totally right. Tbh this OP guy is kinda whack. I’d take his posts with a grain of salt.

Fuck telekom, i can’t wait to switch to fiber

I think there is a case to be made that false statements in the public made with the explicit of driving public or political discourse or to drive verifiably unproven sentiments should be considered fraudulent or anti-democratic, or at the very least that the burden falls on the media to brand the information as verifiably misleading.

Allowing bad faith actors to exist seems to be a major issue strictly because their information is spread without context.
