The fastest Google product kill right there.

Could have been a great Dex alternative.

Fake4000 , 1 month ago to asklemmy in What good/positive habits have you taken away from your time in Covid lockdown and kept up since then?

Working from Home is a must, and spending quality time with the loved ones.

Climbing the corporate ladder isn’t my priority now anymore. I am more interested in work that pays for my hobbies and spending time with my loved ones.

For long term storage at home, HDDs are the way to go.

Fake4000 , 1 month ago to android in Gross. Android defaults are a privacy nightmare.

It’s not a google thing specifically to be honest. Tapping into phones happened way before android was a thing.

Smartphones, both android and iOS, just make it easier for them to tap.

I still remember that day when they used excel sheets to record who was COVID positive. They thought they won’t have more than 65000 cases ಠᴗಠ

Honestly it was a bad call on Nokia to switch to windows. They would have been in a different place of they capitalised on their market share and switched to android.

Top game. Great article too.

Played this game far too many times. And still don’t mind playing it again.

Fake4000 , 2 months ago to asklemmy in What's changed in lemmy and the fediverse in the past 3 months?

That’s true. There are a lot of fringe types of users here that aren’t interesting (weed, curries, conspiracy stuff, etc). General average Joe discussions aren’t much here tbh.

I do enjoy privacy and Foss discussions, but another issue here is that alot of posts are either reposts by users, or bots. You can check that same post on Reddit and you will see a lot of comments around it. Some positive and others negative but still higher in numbers.

Fake4000 , 2 months ago to android in play store is a nightmare

The playstore is just flooded with garbage apps.

Once my apps are installed, the play store is only there for updates. Searching for new apps on the store is just rubbish.

Fake4000 , 2 months ago to asklemmy in What's changed in lemmy and the fediverse in the past 3 months?

Consolidation is another thing. There are many communities that are similar on different instances, firefox for example.

Would be nice if lemmy supports something like multi Reddit with the option of hiding duplicate posts.

Fake4000 , 2 months ago to asklemmy in What's changed in lemmy and the fediverse in the past 3 months?

Content diversity seems like it slowed down. Back when the Reddit exodus happened about of niche communities were created. A lot of them have been abandoned now.

Lemony is still good as it’s tech and privacy centric (which I love). But the excess of US related news, furry stuff, commie/cappie arguments are everywhere. You can always block communities and instances but it gets tiring after some time.

Fake4000 , 2 months ago to technology in Are you prepared for the ramifications of windows 10 EoL?

Honestly, once a Microsoft OS goes end of life, it becomes a great offline machine to run older software and games.

Guaranteed not to be pissed around with Microsoft updates.

Fake4000 , 2 months ago to nostupidquestions in What do you do with your time after leaving Reddit?

Depending on how long these breaks. I’ve taken podcasts as a way to unwind.

Also, YouTube is still a good option for short videos. It might not be easy though to filter out based on duration.

Fake4000 , 2 months ago to asklemmy in Parents of lemmy, at what age did/would you give a smartphone to your kids ?

I would keep a small dumb phone as a family phone for when kids go on trips and sleep overs. They get a personal smartphone at around the age of 16 or 18.
