Yes and they are a great help. Even though I'm AuDHD (and more ADHD than Autism in that) I do appreciate the silence when I feel like it. I use them more with just noise cancelling on than I do with music. And never ever podcasts, I ha

Doesn't mean they communicate less. A lot of phone conversations have pivoted to text/whatsapp.

I could afford a car and I also live in a big European city. But a car is a huge hassle here. Just trying to figure out where to park the thing every time is a huge stressor. I'm so glad I don't have to deal with that anymore. Nor

How can it be crowded if nobody uses it?
635.
by wolvoleo 4mo ago
It's not. I really like public transport. It is cheap (I pay 22 euros a month unlimited), I can do something I like like reading or watching something. I don't have to worry about when my parking expires or having to return to a c

Yeah I take them out too. The only exception is ear protectors (loops) which I wear in discoteques/parties. When I talk to people I don't usually take them out because I wear them for protection. If they notice I will explain and

If you're reading it's kinda obvious, and it's pretty annoying to be interrupted.

> Earbuds stop this practice dead in its tracks. You can't deny that. Yes it's a signal. For you to go find someone else to talk to :) That doesn't mean I'm antisocial, there's just places where I go to be open t

I'm sure that's true but not everyone is cut out to be a "business-person". I certainly am not. Same with boss, I'm not a team player at all. I don't mind small talk sometimes but there has to be some kind of c

Meh. When I was young the old people complained that everyone was wearing walkmans (with those metal band orange foam headphones lol). It's just old man shouting at cloud. And no, I don't want to talk to everyone. Piss off and lea

I do get ads. I constantly get notified about copilot features and whether I've used them 'enough'. This is done by my employer but the "adoption" team at Microsoft provide the tools to do this monitoring and advert

The mobile app does this too. When you open a notification it first brings you to an old email you already had open and it takes a number of seconds before that's replaced by the one you were notified for.

I thought it was about the CD-ROMs lol. I had no idea it was a town also.

Ah when I last checked the E2EE was only in practice implemented by Google and invented by them. It looks like this might have been opened up, unless this is an earlier version somehow? And interconnect traffic to e.g. iMessage was not E2EE

No not really. It's technically available but nobody uses it. Everyone is on WhatsApp. Even companies. I never get messages from contacts on SMS either (so it's not going through fallback). I think it's because iOS just isn&#

Yeah what would really get me onboard with RCS if it were actually open, if I could choose which RCS provider I wanted to use. Like a privacy-driven foundation similar to Signal. Someone I could actually trust. But that would mean that the

Yes but I mean special holiday opening hours etc. Most places do keep these up to date in google.

RCS is not modern. E2EE is only an addon and it's not open. As others have mentioned it's not even available with interoperation. And it was really invented by carriers for exactly that purpose: To regain SMS/MMS revenue. But

No but they can steal up to the pin-free amount of money your card allows. They can just hold a sumup to your pocket. Here in Europe most people use debit cards with non-reversible transactions and that limit is often 70-100€ which is quite

by wolvoleo 5mo ago
Yeah RCS always has been an embrace extend extinguish thing. The carriers were super pissed to lose their SMS revenue to WhatsApp and iMessage so they came up with this shit to be an active partner in the loop again, and they can bill for i

The problem I still have with the futo one is that it can't swipe type in multiple languages without switching every time. Gboard can do that. I use 3 languages intertwined constantly so I need that. So I still use gboard but block its

I think OSM is way way better. It has every little path in the hills I walk. On Google Maps I'm just walking in a featureless green blob. OSM even has unofficial trails that are no more than a worn-down line in the brush. Maybe for car

It's also because so many Linux developers are on the payroll of big tech. Look at all the submissions. 95% are just big tech. And look at the key people in the Linux Foundation. All a bunch of business suits with compromised motives.

I don't think any Chinese company can pull the privacy card. They're bound by their government to spy on their customers just like American ones are. Otherwise Huawei would have already jumped into that gap. They have their own Go

For me I use only cloud for work. But I'd never trust any of my personal data to it.

They have an app for Android that can do NFC? I thought it was only for their watches. Thanks!

Yes you can use Curve pay. Edit: Apparently that's Europe only? I'm in Europe so yeah. I didn't know that.

We already had GEITje but it was banned by the courts. Of course it can still be found because the entire internet is not subject to Dutch law. But it did manage to stop development :'(

We also have much nicer societies than Russia. It's a dictatorship ffs. And yes having nice things cost money. And a safety net is important. I would never want to live in America even if I got 3x my wage. Nor Russia of course but that
