Happened to me today. Turns out MIUI optimized the Clock app.

I allowed it to autostart, I disabled battery optimization, I locked it in recent apps.
It may still occur.
But hey, I only woke up 30 minutes later. “Something isn’t right.”

I loved how my xiaomi went EOL after a major update that broke receiving calls, also the battery saver thing.

just don’t use the official ROMs? this applies for every device btw, OEMs are not to be trusted

Scrath ,

Unfortunately not all features are always available on those ROMs.

One example is GrapheneOS and Google Wallet which I cannot use due to GrapheneOS not being considered “certified software” by the app and therefore not being trusted.

there are ways to get gpay to work. also you may have more luck with lineageos and full system install of official, proprietary google services instead of graphene (but of course you’ll be sacrificing your privacy)

A32 5G costs anything from $150 to $300. Trust me, I know what it means to be on a budget - I’ve never owned a phone that costed over $250. However, at that price I’d much rather get something like OnePlus 6 - an old phone with amazing community support (in fact, the new OnePlus 6 I bought from China costed $150) and specs that frankly are probably going to be better than newly released “budget” phones.

Vuraniute ,

old phones like that arent readily available where i live.

chayleaf ,

They aren’t readily available here either, so I’m ordering it online. Unless you want to tell me you have less online purchase options than people in Russia.

I’ve read your comment history and you said you live around Balkans, fwiw back when I was in Montenegro in 2017 I ordered Zuk Z2 from Aliexpress, it stays well supported to this day, you should be able to do something similar.

Sounds like my Moto G5s Plus. I updated it to Android 8.1 and it started having issues like lagging, completely freezing up, randomly restarting, battery drain, overheating, etc.
Oh, well. It ran PixelExperience 11 just fine. It also allowed me to use the notification LED that Motorola disabled in software for reasons unknown.

Edit: I just like this part from bootloader unlock license agreement on what doing so may cause:

Cause the Device to overheat, explode and/or catch fire, exceed SAR values, exceed safe volume settings, and otherwise be unsafe, including creating the potential to cause serious bodily injury, including death

senseamidmadness , to memes in My cousin said the gas savings for a prius and a motorcycle were the same.

Depends on the motorcycle. Anything loosely above 500cc and the fuel efficiency gets worse than a Prius.

nilloc ,

Especially if your having “fun” with it.

Flumsy ,

One full tank of gas on your motorcycle could be enough for a lifetime…

sexual_tomato ,

I drive a 750cc bike and own a 2015 Prius. The bike gets better mileage.

senseamidmadness ,

Must be something pretty modern with fuel injection!

I was very heavily generalizing; there are so many different kinds of motorcycles and they vary so widely in fuel efficiency that it’s really hard to average. Here in the US, the average new motorcycle sold is a 700-pound monster with an engine larger than 100 cubic inches of displacement. (Again, generalizing a bit, but Harley-Davidsons still make up over 4 out of every 10 new motorcycles sold here.) Harley-Davidson’s largest model, the Electra Glide Ultra Classic, gets less than 40 MPG and weighs well over 800 pounds.

beefcat ,
@beefcat@beehaw.org avatar

it’s kind of shocking how bad motorcycles are at fuel efficiency given how much less mass they have to move

senseamidmadness ,

My understanding is that the motorcycle/rider combination in most cases has a very poor coefficient of drag and that’s the largest issue at highway speeds.

Depends strongly on the motorcycle, however, as there are so many different kinds with varying amounts of bodywork. Some are absurdly efficient, like the Honda Grom, which routinely achieves over 100MPG.

The fact that he’s an uninspiring and largely disappointing president is what makes dark Brandon funny. If we wanted to laugh about a president who really does act like a demonic entity, we’d just vote for the other guy.

Kusimulkku ,

To me it just feels forced, which totally ruins it. I’ve seen similar memes about turbo boring politicians and that’s funny, but I guess with Trump being a legit case of this sorta nonsense makes it feel different.

SatansMaggotyCumFart ,

I know, it should be Bernie Sanders.

Because America will totally vote in a self-described socialist.

Cowbee ,

Unironically yes, increasingly. I know Lemmy is very leftist, and thus doesn’t reflect America in general, but the more time goes on the more left each generation becomes, and Gen Z is by far the most leftist generation in America currently. Gen Alpha will have to wait and see, but for now America is more likely than ever before to vote for Bernie.

SatansMaggotyCumFart ,

America has had socialism = satan slammed down their throats for over a hundred years now, it’s not going to change any time soon.

Cowbee ,

Those people are dying out, which is more to my point.

SatansMaggotyCumFart ,

Quite a few people in your country think Biden is a radical leftist, you’re dreaming.

Cowbee ,

Increasingly fewer people do.

SatansMaggotyCumFart ,

Trump got more votes in 2020 then 2016, so what were you saying?

Cowbee ,

That’s blatantly bad-faith, Biden got more votes in 2020 than Hillary did as well. Voter participation was far higher.

SatansMaggotyCumFart ,

Hillary didn’t run in 2020.

You’re telling me voter attitude is changing, I’m showing you the concrete proof it isn’t.

Back up your feelings with some facts.

Cowbee ,

I didn’t say she did. Biden got more votes in 2020 than Hillary did in 2016, because voter turnout was far larger in 2020. Increasingly, Gen Z is more okay with Socialism and actually prefers it over Capitalism, something unthinkable for Boomers and Gen X.

SatansMaggotyCumFart ,

Those aren’t facts.

Facts are that Trump got 10 million more votes in 2020 then 2016 which disproves what are you arguing.

Cowbee ,

They are facts. And, facts are additionally that more people voted in 2020 than 2016, and Trump lost both the popular and electoral vote in 2020.

Are you a bot?

SatansMaggotyCumFart ,

Trump did lose but he had the strongest support he ever has.

Interesting question about me being a bot. Are you?

Is that why you keep doubling down on your narrative without adding anything to the conversation?

Cowbee ,

Yep, and his support is and always has been a minority.

SatansMaggotyCumFart ,

More than Bernie Sanders though.

Cowbee ,

It’s 2023 and trends have trajectories. This may be difficult to understand.

SatansMaggotyCumFart ,

I guess.

If only. Democrats are historically milquetoast in response to Republicans.

This charade has been going on for 40-some years or more. At least since the likes of Reagan and Gingrich.

  1. The court could go out of their way to rule on the case and make sure it only applied to Trump and only in this instance.
  2. Just because the Democrats are suddenly given power doesn’t mean they will use it to stop fascism. Sadly, too many in the Democratic party are invested in the US Empire to just let go of how things currently work. Their long inability to act is literally why we are at the precipice of fascism fully taking over. The Democrats fell in line with Bush’s illegal war in Iraq, and they declined to do anything about the fact that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld & Co. signed off on torture. We’re about to have Trump as a Dictator because we refused to do anything about leaders who were and are war criminals. People expecting Biden to do something, even if it is ruled in his favor, are waiting in false hope, imho.

EDIT: To be clear, I’d be ecstatic to be proven wrong, honestly. It would be nice to see Democrats really stand on the right side of history, not just partially or out of convenience.

jonne ,

This meme is explicitly about the President committing crimes and getting away with it. I don’t think this is something you want, whether the President’s a Democrat or a Republican.

Tartas1995 ,

Depends does he grab them by the pussy?

Viking_Hippie ,

Sometimes the law is on the opposite side of justice. When the law is unjust and oppressive, the just break the law. That’s how you get civil rights that the current laws don’t allow.

I’m not kidding myself that the authoritarian pro-cop Senator from MBNA would break any of the unjust and oppressive laws, though. Those are some of his favorites, and he’s the main culprit behind many of them.

jonne ,

While true in general, I can’t think of any unjust laws that bind the President. In fact, Trump has shown that there’s not enough laws that rein in the President. Stuff like the Presidential Records Act not actually having any penalties or enforcement mechanisms (besides impeachment) are really giant oversights.

Just because the Democrats are suddenly given power doesn’t mean they will use it to stop fascism.

Democrats had the opportunity to enshrine Roe after the 2020 election. They had a trifecta. They could have passed whatever they wanted and the Republicans would have had to suck it. And they deserved to go unheard, too, because it’s what Republicans did to Democrats for four years. Abortion is overwhelmingly favored among the voter base. We’ve been seeing abortion rights being protected on state ballot measures, even in states Trump won by wide margins. What we needed for half a century was a law on the books explicitly granting the right to an abortion rather than a SCOTUS decision based on an interpretation of an Amendment that doesn’t explicitly guarantee that right. So why did the Democrats do basically nothing to enshrine Roe between 2021 and 2023?

I’m still going to vote blue because the options are either fascists or business as usual. Do I really have a choice? So while we’re at it, fuck the two-party system.

And it’s not just that particular Congress’s fault Roe wasn’t enshrined. There were other Democrat trifectas after Roe. The last Congress just happened to be the one to oversee the overturn of Roe.

AngryCommieKender ,

The Republicans had the house in 2020. The last time Democrats had the trifecta was under Obama for about 6 weeks, they still didn’t do anything because enough senators were having health problems, so they still didn’t actually have enough votes.

We need to burn down the state election offices till they stop gerrymandering the fuck out of tons of states so that the Dems can actually have a supermajority.

TAVAR , (edited )

6 weeks? They held the trifecta for 2 years! From 01/09 to 01/11.

If you give the Dems a supermajority even more Senators will have “health problems” for way longer

Look, I know my instance gives it away, but from Marxist to self proclaimed angry commie: You are dead wrong comrade.

Dems under Obama didn’t not do anything bc of “enough Senators with health problems” but because they are beholden to their bourgeoise donors. In essence they are a party representing the bourgeoisie who only occasionally throw you a bone when they are pressured to do so

And you pressure them not by voting harder for them but by doing political work outside of both parties.

The harder you vote blue, the less they’ll do for you!

A bit oversimplified but I like the ring of it so I’ll run with it.

Kiosade ,

Not true, they passed Obamacare in that window. I remember it was a rush to get… i think the last Kennedy brother to vote on it before he died and they lost the advantage.

lolcatnip ,

Democrats had the opportunity to enshrine Roe after the 2020 election.

God I am so sick of hearing that. Anything less than a Constitutional amendment would do fuck-all to protect abortion because Republicans would just repeal any law the Democrats passed. How do you not get that? Or are you just a Republican troll trying to demotivate Democrats?

spicytuna62 ,
@spicytuna62@lemmy.world avatar

Sure bud. I’m a Republican troll. Don’t worry about going through my comment history to learn a shred about who I am or what I stand for.

You think I’m not aware they’d try to repeal it? Trifectas are rare so it’d be some work to pass a law repealing it. It’ll die in a chamber or get vetoed. It took a Republican trifecta just to end the Individual Mandate of the ACA, but the ACA is otherwise still in effect. But even if it only took a few years for Republicans to repeal an act granting the right to an abortion, at least they tried directly addressing the issue instead of shrugging and going “well that’s that.”

Yes, it’d be a lot of back and forth at the federal level for a while until people got sick of it and an Amendment actually made it to ratification. Until then, Amendments are practically impossible. Over 10,000 Amendments have been proposed since founding, but only 27 have been ratified. We can’t even get the Equal Rights Amendment ratified, despite its popularity. So what makes you think 37 states would vote to ratify an Abortion Amendment? Would you also have been a naysayer in '64 when Johnson signed the umpteenth Civil Rights Act into law?

Don’t get me wrong. I want an Amendment too. An Amendment is the strongest form of protection. But it’s also got a very slim chance of happening within our lifetimes. I’ll celebrate the moment I hear of its proposal, but I’m also not holding my breath for ratification.

lolcatnip ,

Don’t worry about going through my comment history

Ain’t nobody got time for that.

zalgotext ,

Mmm, yes, much better to just throw around off-the-wall accusations based on a couple sentences

Facebones ,

I’m sorry, WHO is trying to demotivate people?

“Republicans will overturn everything anyway so fuck it why try”

GTFO here with that. Abortion was a losing platform in multiple states this last cycle - If we had locked it into law on the federal level, yes Republicans would overturn it day one but they’d have had to do it in front of the whole world on the national level removing any wishy washy state by state bullshit argument that they love using to compartmentalize themselves from every evil thing the right does.

jonsnothere , to memes in My cousin said the gas savings for a prius and a motorcycle were the same.

Well with a motorcycle you’ll have a much better chance of never having to spend money on gas for the rest of your life

senseamidmadness ,

Motorcycles are not as dangerous as people think. What they are is unforgiving of mistakes.

My opinion is that the crash and fatality statistics are heavily inflated by the fact that risky people are drawn to motorcycles, and the evidence backs me up on that somewhat. Studies like the Hurt Report and subsequent NHTSA studies on fatal crashes show some absolutely baffling things, like over 20% of all fatal crashes involving unlicensed riders and almost 40% involving alcohol consumption in some way. Hell, in a shocking amount of US states, helmets are not required and every time I’m in one of those states I see people riding around on the interstate without any head protection. Absolutely terrifying and an incredibly stupid thing to do. I never ride without a full-face helmet personally.

There are plenty of ways to mitigate risk but most of the riders who die in crashes don’t do them.

Rolder , to memes in Dank Brandon Rising

Don’t you worry, they would change their opinion on a dime of someone tried to prosecute Biden. We already know they don’t give a fuck about precedent.
