hmm it would be weird because it’s not something I’m actively doing. I use it once every few weeks or so

it was never about a “job title”

or jitsi, so more can participate

Is making a profit = profiteering?

no, what I wanted to mean is wanting to make lots of money just for the sake of it, or to increase value

The ads I had in mind would be topic-based. If you’re on a supplement sub, you see suggestions for a vendor. If you’re on a web dev sub, you see VPS vendors.

yeah, exactly, that’s not so bad

correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t enshittification mean that the provider reduces functionality? it seems to me that didn’t happen

The subscription model rarely works

when the objective is profiteering and endless growth

I have an unpopular opinion that ads are still the best way to pay for servers and staff

I think that’s acceptable if it’s not based on datamining and profiling and personalization, but on context, and if ads are honest and not too attention grabbing. yeah advertise your product/service, with its benefits, and do not try to persuade people into paying for garbage

and a lot of the permissions you can only disable one by one, 3-4 taps for each of the dozens of apps, with needing 2 taps even just to see if the permission is granted for the app

and sadly, calyx and such forks don’t fix it either

Lineage will likely wirk with random phones, that dosn’t mean it’s quality. I say, if a phone OS works on LG, Samaung, Nokia, and a Chinese company phone, I don’t trust the stability of the OS.

that’s just plain bullshit with at most zero backing knowledge. supporting various brands really won’t make the software that complicated. the software you install won’t need to include compatibility patches of all the supported brands and models, it’s routine that system images are customized for the phone, with patches specifically for that phone.

I mean yeah LOS is not the best in quality, but the remaining part does not make sense

not just too expensive, but designed to be hard to repair too. just look up the ifixit disassembly guide, it’s horrible

Graphene can be installed on your phone via a web browser

sorry but that’s misleading. it only works with chrome (and honestly better keep it that way). do we really expect in the privacy community that people use chrome?

ElectroBoom

then they are questioning the other security properties of the app. safery of used encryption algorithm or its implementation, healthyness of having proprietary google code built into the app, etc

maybe they don’t even think about how things on the Internet actually work, I dunno

bingo! that’s the reason behind most of their illogical decisions

just ask around, and you’ll find that they want things to just work without understanding how they work

he could just use x.com for that too

How is it easier? Do you open your HDDs and take info from there?

obviously not. often they don’t break all at once, but start with corrupting smaller areas of sectors

I would rather not buy so large SSDs. for most stuff the performance advantage is useless while the price is much larger, and my impression is still that such large SSDs have a shorter lifespan (regarding how many writes will it take to break down). recovering data fron a failing HDD is also easier: SSDs just turn read-only or completely fail at one point, in the latter case often even data recovery companies being unable to recover anything, while HDDs will often give signs that a good monitoring software can detect weeks or months before, so that you know to be more cautious with it

better start preparing with a 10G network!

well until you need capacity why not use an SSD. It’s basically mandatory for the operating system drive too

because if you roll your own root cert, nobody’s web browsers will see it as trusted, they all will warn the user that something weird is happening and treat the site as if it was plain HTTP. no lemmy server would federate with it for the same reason.
