No, the point of the entire site is to generate revenue. They’ve been pushing subscription based AI to “help” with profile writing for a while. GenAI content is also supposed to be good for juicing engagement numbers to show to advertisers.
I agree with you that it probably won’t work and the whole thing will degenerate into shrimp Jesus and bots replying to bots, but that’s the line of thinking. They don’t give a fuck about the quality of the service.
I miss 2000’s era Nokia. They had their flagship phones that turned a profit but also just did some truly weird shit purely to see if it caught on.
Had a very similar problem when my ironclaw died. I went thru probably 5-6 different mouses/mice/meece before discovering the Keychron M6. Very similar feature set to the Logitech MX, but a slightly different shape and texture that I find suits my hand better. DPI switch is on the underside by default but can be remapped to any button. It’s wireless, but there’s no reason you can’t just leave it plugged in.
EDIT: Also, I found this thing super useful for size/shape comparison during my hunt.
I recently dug up my vita and installed CFW out of boredom. With the built-in PSP and PSX emulation, decent retroarch support and a fair few source ports, it’s quite a respectable retro handheld these days. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend sourcing one over say, an anbernic unit, but if you already have it, it’s a fairly easy jailbreak and worth the effort IMO.
Pixels are pretty easy to get custom ROMs on. I’m sure you can find something that doesn’t include this.
I like the idea of open world games. In practice it depends entirely on the execution, and amount of free time I have. I enjoyed the hell out of Cyberpunk 2077, but have zero desire to play GTA6 or the latest Ubisoft snoozefest.
Waydroid runs on some Ubuntu Touch devices. Probably elsewhere too. Can’t vouch for the performance though, never used it.
You might have been thinking of Mumble
AntennaPod. Can allegedly sync via gpodder.net or gpoddersync. Personally never got it to work quite right, but I didn’t try very hard either.
Same. But I have noticed lately in more recent Android versions it doesn’t always apply to everything. It’s also a waste of dev time that could be put into literally anything else.
Physics based animations? Fuck off. Waste of time, effort and CPU. I want my phone to last longer and work better, not look slicker.
Well it was nice for a while there.
Be cool if they could integrate with gadgetbridge
+1 for Auxio. Been using it nearly a year now, no issues.
Total nothingburger. BioBank is a research dataset used for cohort studies. There’s about 500k volunteers who contributed some genetic material, demographic and lifestyle information, anthropometrics and physiological measurements. It’s mostly used to discern possible genetic and lifestyle factors for chronic disease. It’s not like they’re getting access to the whole NHS database and stealing DNA to build supersoldiers.
Look into syncthing. Not sure about encryption tho and I’m not in a position to check RN.
With a little fucking around I’m fairly sure you could do it on the phone itself via termux.
I guarantee you they’ll still collect marketing data, they just won’t show the resulting targeted ads until you let your subscription lapse.
