I don’t really get it why would people want to post to a sub that hardly anyone can see and likely you won’t get any good amount of karma.

likely I’m missing something but yeah I wouldn’t pay to see a sub I’d just look for a free one which likely already exists.

I’m actually suprised Google never went and made an reader they already have the store and software. Kobo does the job for me anyway though.

I just tried it on deepseek it did it fine and gave the source for everything it mentioned as well.

I think they can pretty much post whatever they want but I’ve never used it myself as it’s all pay walled. But yeah I think reactors are all jumping over to it as it gets harder to post anything on YouTube without someone else trying to claim the ad money.

You have a point it’s a monopoly but most YouTube videos I watch now the creators are always suggesting viewing on patreon because of all the YouTube copyright stuff.

I’ve noticed quite a few have vanished from YouTube so maybe there’s some signs YouTube is starting to get to annoying for creators.

Google absolutely did gimp Micro SD cards even the phones that have them still you can’t hot swap them because it gets merged with the primary storage instead.

Pretty obvious Google did this to sell their cloud storage when before you could switch cards at will easily.

Because these features where all there and worked perfectly before Google decided to kill them. Are you really arguing every manufacturer in the world added scoped storage on their own.

I’ll also add scoped storage is about 20 times slower and broke many legacy apps as well.

Have to be honest first Android lost my support when they did their best to kill Micro SD cards then they decided to make connecting mtp only which absolutely ruined using a cable to transfer anything then came the head phone jack being removed.

The final nail on the coffin was scoped storage which made things so much slower it seemed absolutely ridiculous and also stopped you from being able to use files with the app you might have wanted.

At this point I’m kind of hoping something like Tizen or even Harmony Os takes over.

Yeah sad thing is I can understand Starlink being the only option for some people, so yeah I wouldn’t blame you for using it.

Honestly people would have to be basically mad to buy tesla now, same with twitter etc.

I sympathise with people who starlink is the only option but yeah I’d rather go without.

Just read it also works on Huawei AI chips so you don’t even need anything Nvidia, might be they are going to take more hits.

It could be if it’s really old but yeah whatever it was it was Google’s top result if you searched linux in Google for quite a while. I think the one I read was a bit more malicious and less Jokey about it.

Remember the first time I read about Linux (long time ago) and they were basically calling it a communist os (not even joking) first site on Google at the time was all about how it was unpatriotic to use it etc.

Was watching bbc news interview some American guy about this and wow they were really pushing that it’s no big deal and deepseek is way behind and a bit of a joke. Made claims they weren’t under cyber attack they just couldn’t handle having traffic etc.

Kinda making me root for China honestly.

I heard they are under ddos attack.

If you really wanted it from an official store you could just sideload huaweis appgallery I have it on my phone due to having one of their smartwatches.

Stores rubbish really but yeah I’m pretty sure it would be a great way to get TikTok.

Yep it has no content at all I would ever want to watch and I tried to give it a fair shake. That said I recognise YouTube is pretty much the Monopoly of all Monopolys and don’t know how to fix that.

Yeah I think along the same lines can only hope if servers are compromised like this they get defederated immediately to make a point, ultimately though I think the design of the fediverse pretty much keeps it safe but some servers may unfortunately face consequences

Not saying you are wrong if anything though I think Reddit is probably the next obvious victim after TikTok they’ll simply point to the Chinese Tencent who own shares and the next thing you know Musk will be part owner.

Fediverse I think will probably be the last hit simply because it’s small and because of the design can’t be hit easily, wouldn’t surprise me if they just targeted the biggest servers though.

Bane of my life as about a year ago my dad switched his sim and immediately started pestering me about not being able to log into his accounts.

Yes he got rid of the old number completly and expected me to somehow make his logins work. This is still going on to this day when he complains to me something doesn’t work it’s because he’s tied it to his old phone number.
