    Just read most of the comments here and I feel nauseous about this.

    My job encourages instagram use.

    I think the only way around having our devices spy on our spoken face to face conversations is to have a mobile device with a removable battery. Who remembers the HTC EVO and all the phones like those? Anyone know of a good phone that offers the removable battery?

    I don’t use Facebook much but when I do it’s because my gramma is sending me a private message. I refuse to download their other app. Please help?

    I have a recollection of some long threads about some companies discontinuing gaming content and members of Lemmy having strong feelings and evidence about all this. I have been trying to search these older threads up but I can't find them. Does anyone remember these conversations? What companies were involved? Games? How much data was basically disappeared?

    I always appreciate the memes that show up at Lemmy, but this meme reduces the amount of effort that also goes into earning some merit badges. I think it’s funny but kind of tone deaf.

    I’ve got a collection of classic iPods — the ones with the clickwheel.

    Yes — the files can take time to download and organize and curate but in the end — if I need a thousand hours of audio I can rely on… well, it’s easy and fail proof.

    So… when I want to control content I’m consuming, I get the .mp3 or .pdf or whatever it is I’m interested in.

    How is grayjay a more reliable manner of being in control of my content on cross country drives ir wherever? I’m not tracking here. Why would anyone choose grayjay over simply controlling their own drives?

    Okay — can anyone — and I mean anyone, please explain to me that allure of the so called home assistant. Our home was built in 1965. Its housed many families very comfortably. It houses our family very comfortably. Our kids are heading off to college. Tra la la. We have holidays, happiness, and we contribute to the community at a variety of events. We sleep well. Eat well. We host parties of up to fifty people sometimes… we have a yard.We have a dog, two cats, fish etc. All the things that happen in a home.

    We are happy.

    We have no so called smart products. We use a terrestrial radio in the kitchen on the daily. We stream from the rip-off services when we desire. We are up on the shows etc. So we have internet — each of us has a phone and a device for working. I just don’t get it.

    What is the allure of the so called smart home etc?

    Armed soldiers in mountains near LA

    Decades ago my friends and I stole a car in Los Angeles and took a drive into the mountains just outside of LA. I was in high school and this was BEFORE all celular proliferation so we didn’t know where to go or what to do — we were shit thieves and one of us saw keys in a car and we jumped on it. Anyway — we ended up heading up a what I remember as a mountain road — and it couldn’t have been where Griffith park is or the Hollywood hills — likely, now that I think about it, we were so scared where headed east on the 210. We figured we wouldn’t get caught if we just took the car into the mountains and drove home in the morning. Kidsarefuckingstupid Anyway — the road we were on turned into a dirt road and we came around a bend and our headlight lit up two soldiers in full gear — helmets and automatic rifles so we stopped and they started screaming: TURN AROUND AND LEAVE!! Leave now!!! We left. And got close enough to home to ditch the car and walk. But this isn’t about our idiot joyride — this is about WTF soldiers. Can anyone connect these dots? What were the soldiers doing? (Also — I shared this because I MISS LA and I come to this community and find no post for a month! Shame on you! :-) but seriously — expates need your pics of parks etc.)

    Difference with "Select" and "Copy" availability between browsers

    It is my hope that Privacy is the community for this. I think freedom to use browsers the way we intend is a privacy issue. We have likely all seen or heard that the “Select All” option has been removed from Safari — don’t hate me, I won’t be doing apple again. That said, manual SELECTING of text still exists. Here’s the privacy issue: When I SELECT a small amount of text, I am offered the COPY option. When I SELECT a few hundred words, even at Gutenberg, I’m given zero time to hit the copy button. Just now I shifted to Firefox and had zero problem doing what I needed to do. Could other interested folks confirm this SAFARI bug/irritant/annoyance? Here’s the page I was using: https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/766/pg766.txt In safari, check what happens if you try to copy five words vs. 300 words.

    Forgive me, but…

    It’s my hope to see unity and cohesion is the Lemmy-verse. Looks like asklemmy@lemmy.ml has over 39k subscribers. Is there a way that this same conversation can “merge” with that one so that this one can be archived there? How are Lemmy instances coping with two great ideas that might have come up at the same time but one has a lot more traction? And true story: I’m not trying to start anything. I’m sincerely trying to promote Lemmy and perfect it — this would just be sanding the edges?
