Lower Wacker in Chicago is a black hole

Hm, yeah it works fine for me. I could never use the built-in mic on one of those cheap adapters

I’m not sure if this is a stock Android feature or Samsung specific, but I have the ability to disable using my cheap Bluetooth adapter for calls under Bluetooth settings for the device

What happened is that the FTC is taking on Amazon in court as we speak:

FTC Sues Amazon for Illegally Maintaining Monopoly Power

Do you mean Equifax?

Actively contributing to this community being dumb and irrelevant I see. Trust me, I’ve already left. Eternal September has arrived.

Yet you are, however, following a direct mirror of reddit right here in this community. Fully automated for your convenience.

The other posts aren’t very related to technology either, and that’s my point. There was a time before Lemmy, when /r/Technology was focused on delivering news about new technology. Not tangentially related news about pro climate laws. Not the politics of social media companies. Not Elon Musk spam. Technology. /r/Science was vastly different in the past as well. In general, these communities had much more substantiative content with nuanced discussions in the comments from experts in relevant fields. Lemmy was a bit like that as well in the past. But unfortunately bots like this one started reposting all of the drivel from Reddit to the main Technology community, drowning out content with more depth. I want communities that I can genuinely learn from. I want to feel hesitant to comment, because everyone in the room is smarter than me. I miss that version of the internet.

This news is as related to technology as a weather report citing rain in Silicon Valley is relevant to technology. It doesn’t fit the sub.

I actually didn’t realize it supported anything other than YouTube. TIL

Please elaborate on the technological advancement that was made here

This is not a post about technology.

NewPipe has been my go-to for years. Available on F-Droid with regular updates.

Techies?

Can we let this platform die quietly and stop bombarding the feed with Elmo spam?

I think this is fair, but man the retaliatory tariffs for NSA backdoors would be atrocious

Yeah, no, I’m right. This is always how it starts, and these new Channels “partners” will definitely be a revenue stream in the future if they aren’t already. Your view is naive.

I also find it crazy that people don’t understand the value of privacy. Telling people that Nissan wants to sell information about your sexual activity seemed to wake some of my social circle up. But only in the context of Nissan, which almost certainly doesn’t have that data. Meta almost certainly does.

What sort of roadmap are you looking for in Signal? It does everything I need it to do, personally.

Ew. Thanks for pointing me to that. TIL.
