You could still go for a premium subscription, but I don’t trust Google with my money either.

I hope this would make some quality content creators to move to another platform, but I don’t really believe in this.

But at least France is holding its hand this time! 🙃

I’m relieved that the group I wanted to vote was against. I’m frightened that it was the only one against in France 😱

Ah oui ? J’aurai dit qu’aux européennes comme on vote à la proportionnelle ça invite plus à faire un choix personnel ?

Plus I would guess that few country could also rebuild the whole manufacturing process in a few years?

Where do you live?

I think it’s been a long time since digital companies tried to solve actual problems.

You mean that having N+1 sensors every other year is redundant. My phone is 4 years old and had already a quite bad camera at that time so I wouldn’t know.

Seeing photos from other people it’s obvious how good phones have become (even if there might be some overengineering), on the other hand my phone also had a bad CPU / RAM / Battery / Screen for the time and people who have phones with more computing power than my laptop do the exact same things as I do.

I hope for one good thing to come out from all this AI madness : people might get used to pay for a service on the internet again. If this miraculously happens it could lead to people more cautiously choose services over quality instead of the one with darkest patterns.

One can still dream…

My FP3 hanged around in my pocket unprotected for 4 years and still has no scratch on its screen. I feel like the industry learned how to make basically indestructible glass for a while (except if you casually put diamonds in the same pocket).

I think except for the camera phones have stopped being pragmatic for quite a while.

Et aussi les groupes télégramme ne sont pas chiffrés de pair à pair (contrairement à signal), dans leur FAQ ils expliquent qu’ils me renforcent quand même les données avec une magouille qui me rend sceptique :

To protect the data that is not covered by end-to-end encryption, Telegram uses a distributed infrastructure. Cloud chat data is stored in multiple data centers around the globe that are controlled by different legal entities spread across different jurisdictions. The relevant decryption keys are split into parts and are never kept in the same place as the data they protect. As a result, several court orders from different jurisdictions are required to force us to give up any data.

I’m not sure scams are so subtle. For example fishing emails are often so obviously scam that people think there are designed to filter very gullible people or very unlucky persons who actually waited for a call with the exact same context as the scammer will give.

Yeah, I suppose OP is from the US ?

Well, when good documentation is available it isn’t necessary but good documentation is not always available. And it can still be helpful with niche issues 🤷

I hate 2024

Same here, most delivery service will not even bother performing the delivery about 30% of the time and just leave it in a relay or post office. Last time the logs showed they ensured I wasn’t home in the minute they left the dispatch center 🤡

J’ai plus le détail en tête mais en cas de vraie alerte c’est pas le même nombre de pouets. Et aussi a priori l’alerte donne pas beaucoup d’info en elle même, du coup tu es contraint d’allumer la radio (f**k quand j’aurai plus de téléphone avec prise jack je n’aurai plus de radio chez moi).

My only criteria when switching email was to be able to use my own domain name. Now I almost don’t receive anything on my gmail and I can transparently switch provider. I think it was a relevant move, I won’t move to self hosting but I could ! :)
