The problem with this is trust. If you could seamlessly migrate like this, there’s nothing to stop someone faking a long post/comment on their own instance, making them look very legitimate and then migrating that account to a trusted/legitimate instance.
Then using that for spam/selling block chain etc.
People are the reason we can’t have nice things.
How you can have an article talking about the history of email and it not be about Ray Tomlinson, I just don’t know. Wait - now I know: This person looked up the Wikipedia article on the smtp protocol and decided Mr. Postal was the pioneer of email.
The conclusion is completely incorrect, also. About the only correct thing was that reputation is important for email transmission.
No: you can’t just set up an smtp outbound server on your home server and expect the world to trust you. For good reason: we’ve had decades of trojans and viruses taking over home PCs and sending spam. Your ISP declares its “home” IP ranges, and those are immediately not trusted.
That doesn’t mean you need to use a big email hosting provider. If you set up on a business IP range, configure your DNS Correctly with declared mx and spf records, the world will trust you (until you demonstrate that it can’t).
Millions of businesses around the world do this.
Surely opinions on this are going to vary wildly? Lemmy is full of people installing graphene and de-googling, while I’m happy with stock Android on Pixels with a custom launcher. Samsung, Sony and Asus all have serious devotees as well.
There’s also different responses depending on what you want in a phone. Some people want smaller than 6", others must have a 3.5mm jack. Some want SD storage. The camera is vital for me, but most of my colleagues don’t really care about the camera.
How would you sift through all that for a “best” one size fits all phone?
If it was that big a deal for you, why would you use a phone OS by that same company?
SMS is hot garbage:
But sure. It works for anyone on any phone.
The neat thing about Android is that you have the choice to do that. None of us understand why you want to use sms over rcs, but we love that you can.
the days of being remotely excited by phone design are way behind us. This looks like an iPhone 4 with a pixel 6+ camera bar. Meh.
I should probably know this, but why “threadverse” and not “fediverse”? The name Threadverse sounds like a Meta trademark.
Huh.
You are correct - there is a message in my inbox from you. I honestly didn’t realise/see it. I’ll reply privately.
Dear aussie.zone users,
I can delete photos. Just give me the url of the photo you need killed and I’ll happily delete it for you. But also, don’t (accidentally) upload a nude.
https://instance.name/instances
This tells you which instances are federated/blocked. Everyone should have an /instances page.
His pay was $300k something. So it was almost all stock.
Ahh, that makes all sorts of sense. The idea that he was paid $193 Million was unbelievable.
You could pay 1,000 moderators $100k for the year and still give Spez $93 Million if that were his salary.
We require an email address and a response to a question on our signups. The response doesn’t need to be more than about 5 words, it’s just to stop bots putting random characters or single words in there.
So far, it has seemed to ride that balance between low bar of entry and too hard to spam with bot applicants.
That said, if I wanted to spam the Fediverse, I’d just spin up my own instance of Lemmy or Mastodon.
You are very helpful and correct - thank you for that. I suspect it was something of a double entendre joke, however.
I guess it’s neat, but I don’t see the point. 99% of my maps usage is local navigation, mostly in the car. I already know the weather.
The remaining 1% is using the app like an atlas, I guess it’s nice to know that it’s snowing today in Estonia, but that’s not why I’m looking at the place in Google maps.
Is this a feature people will find useful?
I’m tempted. At the moment my daily carry is a Pixel 7 and an iPad mini. Thing is: the iPad mini is absolutely perfect as an 8" tablet. The Fold is going to have to be amazeballs to even consider switching.
But, carrying around one device would be amazing. Number of times I’ve been unexpectedly yoinked into a meeting and not had my tablet makes me yearn for this.
The biggest things giving me cause to pause are losing iOS (not that I like it more, but I like being current with both OSes) and the Fold’s weight. I won’t want to run with the fold in my pocket. Looks like I’ll need to also upgrade my watch.
So, really I’d be going from there everyday-carry devices to two. And I would need to upgrade them both.
semi-succesful
18 Million subscribers, Billions of views, has had Kobe Bryant and the US president as guests on his channel. If that’s “semi-succesful”, what on earth is your yard-stick for successful?
I don’t always agree with his takes, but I honestly can’t think of a better or better-known tech reviewer.
That’s probably to do with the federation issues that cropped up with the new Lemmy version at Christmas.
I’ve been on the Pixel bandwagon since the start. I haven’t had every generation, but I’ve had more than half of them. The pure Android experience and the best cameras on the market have been the biggest draws for me.
I haven’t had a Samsung since the Galaxy 5, but i hated the bloat they came with. To me, the biggest flaw to Android is that manufacturers can slap their own launchers/mail and browsers/assistants on them, totally changing the feel of the OS and still get to call the result “Android”.
this is mainly because Android stopped supporting 3rd party launchers.
What do you mean? I’ve always used my own launcher. I’ve never used the pixel launcher - not because I have anything against it, but because I like Nova better. L
I am typing this comment on a Pixel 7. I have had it for nearly two years and I have never experienced these symptoms.
The only app I can think of that doesn’t load in under a second is Asphalt Legends - and that’s because the app takes a week to load on anything.
I am very satisfied with this device, and doubt I’ll be upgrading to Pixel 9. I have no reason to upgrade.
