I tried using it. Putting my phone down on any surface would trigger it. Made my biometrics completely useless. Too sensitive on my device, even on the lowest settings :(

I've seen multiple ppl review them and say they are complete shit.

The lack of staggering between the rows would drive me nuts. Fuck that...

My Instagram is full of fitness content (and good looking people tbh). Nothing comes even remotely close on pixelfed. No offence to federated social media, but we all ain't good looking :) (or suck at using filters...)

It's still a very long way off from taking over Instagram.

Lemmy has a hardon for FOSS, and an irrational hatred for windows.

Aside from that, it's quite nice imo

The irony of this movie poster mockup being AI generated cracks me up.

Being overly Paranoia? Can't think of another valid reason.

What casual use can you do on windows/Linux that you can't on android?

And Android is so much better than windows/Linux for touch that it's not even a competition.

Swap to a 0 calorie version and just keep enjoying it? Fizzy drinks are a pretty harmless vice in the grand scheme of things. Hollow calories, so if you can replace it with a 0 calorie version, it would at least stop affecting your weight.

I know everyone is against artificial sweeteners. They won't kill you faster than microplastics, pollution, break pad dust, war, alcohol, smoking,...

Enjoy life! Enjoy a fizzy drink! I thoroughly enjoy my daily coke zero can.

I use Linux and windows. Windows is so much simpler for 99% of ppl that grew up with it.

I love your optimism. But if even a single digit percentage of them migrates to Linux, that would be mind boggling.

Nothing makes me giggle more than realizing a hidden loss reference. It's so silly and sometimes so obscure. Like a little online treasure hunt.

I have the galaxy tab ultra. I use it more than my actual laptop for surfing and lounging and watching videos. For work and productivity I use my laptop. If I really had to pick one, I'd probably pick the tablet. It's all about what you do with it + formfactor

(have a desktop for actual gaming)

Also, the Lenovo y700 is an awesome device if you want an 8inch tablet.

Lol, OK. Yeah. Didn't think about caveats. :D

 

I'm traveling to the US mainland for the first time in my life in a few weeks.

I am not overly stressed about privacy, but I have read that US immigration can really overstep their boundaries. Are there any simple specific steps to take on my devices to protect my privace when going through US border control?

Remove my main accounts from my phone/tablet and use dummy accounts? Or just removing my biometrics?

 

I love the content posted here. As someone that has recently started dabbling in AI image Gen, it would be an amazing learning tool to see a) which model was used to generate the image and b) which prompt was given. With a) being most interesting imo.

Is there any reason this is not required?

(hope it's OK to post this here, didn't see anything in the rules about it)
