pixelpop3 , (edited ) to android in Anyone tried zenroad?

I haven’t tried it, but I am interested. The main feature I’m looking for is hands-free use (reading messages aloud, replying, responding to commands). This doesn’t mention any of that but I might give it a try.

In the old Android Auto you used to be able to just turn it on and get all those functions but after Google got rid of that and keeps changing how we use phones while driving betwwen apps they keep cancelling, the only thing I know to access it now is to turn on Google maps with navigation to a destination which is pretty freaking annoying when all I’m doing is driving back and forth from work and I don’t need all Google Maps commentary about which turn I should or should not be taking or that I’m in the parking lot rather than driving into the front door.

Edit: I installed it. I first tried to find it on F-Droid, it wasn’t there which seemed odd. So I installed it from Play Store. It’s a FOSS frontend that requires you to sign up for damoov account. Basically it seems to just be a demo app for damoov API. No idea what damoov is and what they’re doing with the data. Based on what they mention in Play Store and the startup screens, my guess is they are an API intended to be used by insurance companies to develop apps that monitor policy holders.

pixelpop3 , to technology in Facebook degrading Firefox user experience now?

Do you use a VPN? I’ve noticed a lot of cdn’s have become very hostile to VPNs over the last year. Initially I blamed the VPN but I’m pretty convinced it’s the cdn’s at this point*.

*This is because I started using a private linode server as a tailscale exit node and boy does the internet hate that IP with a passion. Toggling between using that and my home computer as exit nodes is somewhat fascinating. The web is so rude when I browse from my linode box. So… now I use the linode exit node to let the jerks take themselves to the curb. Anyway images not loading randomly is one of the telltale signs of a jerk website. It even happens when using Google One VPN or Cloudflair’s WARP+ nowadays. Switch them off and use my residential IP exit node and presto it all works again.

The Supreme Court is currently working on cases that are about overturning precident that allows administrative agencies to make policy that strays from the letter of the law. So my guess is Meta lawyers see a chance to say “there is no federal law that prohibits making profit off children, so this administrative rule is unconstitutional”. Something like that (I am not a lawyer).

pixelpop3 , (edited ) to technology in Facebook turns over mother and daughter’s chat history to police resulting in abortion charges

Generally the logic is that once the fetus has reached viability (i.e. capable of being removed and continuing life without the mother), then acts that result in death of the fetus are no longer necessary nor morally valid. It is reasonable to expect the fetus to be removed from the mother and provided life support at that stage.

The two women told detective Ben McBride of the Norfolk, Nebraska Police Division that they’d discussed the matter on Facebook Messenger

… why would they do that?
