The first time I tried it in the two gigabyte blocks. The problem with that is I have to download them one or two at a time. It’s not very easy to do over the course of a week on a normal internet connection. Keep in mind, I also have a job.

I got about 50 out of 60 files before the one week timer reset and I had to start all over.

Yeah, with takeout, there are tools that can reconstruct the metadata. I think Google includes some JSONs or something like that. It’s critical to maintain the dates of the photos.

Also I think if I did that I would need double the storage, right? To sync the drive and to copy the files?

Not sure who needs to hear this in a shitpost, but the Kübler-Ross “5 stages of grief” is pretty much discredited.

It’s historically significant because Kübler-Ross was the first one to really investigate and publicize the psychology of dying. We wouldn’t know what we do now without her. But one of the things we know is that the 5-stages model is wrong.

Most recently, Israel agreed to the ceasefire approved by the US, Qatar, and the entire UN. Hamas rejected it.

I think he cares a lot more about maintaining his increasingly tenuous grip on power in Israel than what any US politician says or does.

Did you miss the RNC chanting and cheering about how much they support Israel? Trump knows his base - he’d never turn against Israel or Netanyahu. There’s a reason this exists.

I just don’t think Putin really cares that much about Israel.

gedaliyah ,
@gedaliyah@lemmy.world avatar

That’s pretty misleading. What they actually said is they wouldn’t agree to a permanent ceasefire while Hamas remains in power.

gedaliyah ,
@gedaliyah@lemmy.world avatar

Hamas could have ended this at any time. They have turned down multiple ceasefire proposals because they will never admit defeat. They are fanatics.

There is a building expectation that this will even hit some popular apps with millions of installs, and some legitimate apps which are low on the quality mark will also fail to make the cut.

Like what? This seems pretty unlikely based on the statement from Google. There is an awful lot of pointless garbage on there.

gedaliyah ,
@gedaliyah@lemmy.world avatar

The days of Google encouraging third-party stores and users to sideload apps regardless of origin are long gone. We are fast approaching Play becoming as near a simile to Apple’s App Store as we could ever see.

I think it’s a stretch to say that Google ever encouraged side loading. But if their plan is to eliminate it all together, that’s a pretty scary thing. I don’t think it’ll go over well in Europe either.

There are lots of features that used to be common that just didn’t make the cut for one reason or another. I still have old phones with a radio tuner and programmable IR remote. Some features just took up too much space, some complicated the manufacturing process.

Some of them still have enough of a market to justify for some manufacturers.

You can replace your calculator, as well as your clock, contacts, record, translate, and more pretty easily. It’s well designed, and it’s FOSS!

You can also use this calculator app, as well as camera, recorder, gallery, dialer, text messages, and more. Also well designed and also FOSS

I’ve been using it for about a month now on a pixel phone and it’s been excellent. Parts of it are still in alpha, but I have been lucky.

You can adjust the height in the settings (edit: under themes). I use the swipe and seems to be as good as other open source keyboards (I previously used heli and AnySoft). It is still in alpha so hopefully they can refine it further.

BTW, heliboard is also pretty excellent.

Outside of software spaces the discussion around copyright seems so much more nuanced. Any creative commons license is generally considered “copyleft” regardless of the details, and some are far more restrictive than the FUTO license. Consider projects like Wikipedia which accept content licensed under GDFL, or CC-BY, or CC-BY-SA, Apache 2.0, or PD.

I am not a programmer, so maybe I am missing a huge piece of context, but what is the insistence in the free software community for what seems like total license purity? I even see software engineers arguing that “everyone” should use Apache or MIT and not the other, which is somehow bad for the FOSS community. What am I missing? Isn’t more free better than less free?

Not sure what you mean by “train.” If you mean “test” then yes, they are in alpha and anyone can submit bugs. As other users have said, we have only their word that they intend to keep the source available. If you mean “track users to train ML models,” then no. The whole point is that the software is private. All of the processing - the gesture typing, the audio processing, the LLM, etc are all performed on-device. And the source is visible for all to see, so it offers similar protections to FOSS software in this regard.

The software doesn’t “phone home” - it can’t even check itself for updates. It just sends you a little message on a predetermined schedule to manually check. (or you can use a repo/software manager)

In theory and in practice, any Open Source project could be purchased by a for profit company who takes down the source code. However, any prior code would remain under the previous open license. Apparently one of the issues with this license is that it contains no durable license for the code itself. You can’t just fork it and make your own version, although you can use any of the code with certain noncommercial and attribution requirements.

Okay, but were there any police shooting at student protestors? This is the first I’ve heard of it.

gedaliyah ,
@gedaliyah@lemmy.world avatar

It didn’t. Someone posted about snipers spotted near a protest, which is common at any large crowds in big cities (like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade). It’s just a bad meme.

It depends on your particular social circle but 80-85% of Jews are supportive of Israel. Most oppose Netanyahu.

The seller sends an item to the Amazon warehouse to be sold, Amazon fulfillment sends it to the buyer. Buyer returns it, and it goes back to the amazon warehouse and back into the store’s digital inventory. It gets sold again and amazon fulfillment sends it out.

You can run a store without using Amazon but it may be hard to compete. Amazon has identical products in warehouses all over the world so even if it’s not the specific item the seller sent to Amazon fulfillment, the customer can get same day delivery. This system also creates an intractible counterfeit problem.

It’s really shocking that I can’t seem to find a single article discussing election fraud or coercion. Common sense dictates that in a free election, these numbers are… unprecedented to say the least. Isn’t anyone reporting on this?
