Couldn’t be more infuriating than apple’s forced 2fa that requires a phone number. Effectively making iOS devices useless unless you have a phone number.

??

You mean like a VOIP number like Google Voice? Then no, your call get dropped when you move out of wifi range.

VoLTE doesnt count against your data plan, you dont even need a data plan to use VoLTE. In fact, most carriers require VoLTE these days so when you first insert the sim card, your carrier has sent a configuration profile instructing your phone to turn it on. You can turn the data to “off” but it still leave it on for VoLTE calls only.

Ah yea reddit seems to hate TOR.

Not to mention that most subreddits have a soft ban on new accounts. Extremely infuriating.

Lemmy seems so welcoming to TOR users, I mean I had to fill out an “application” but I just used a temp email. Lovely place, hidden behind anonymity, well kind of… as long as the NSA doesnt suddenly spend the entire US budget hunting me, I’d be anonymous. They got bigger fishes to catch.

Public forums do not have privacy

Data is definitely usable when you make a VoLTE call. But if you turn data off before the call happens, the data icon on the top quick setting panel where you pull down on the notifications indicates that data is “on”, and attempting to turn it “off” would show a message saying “Unable to turn off data while Advanced Calling is on” Advanced Calling which I assume means VoLTE. So basically its this state where its on, but only for the purposes of VoLTE. If you have data set to on before the call happens, you can look up info while, for example, you talk to a customer service representative.

When data is off, it might not actually be off.

For example, on some android phones, the data connection shows as on when you are on a call, even tho apps cannot access the internet.

So I’m assuming the OS just built a workaround that turns data on only for calling, since if data is allowed to be completely off, people are gonna be complaining that their “Phone isn’t working” as most carriers require VoLTE these days.

Same thing with location. Even if you turn location off, it is automatically turned on if you call emergency numbers.

Devs are allegedly Marxist-Leninists.

Redditors dont understand that devs dont exactly have full control of open source software, that different instances are not operated by the devs.

Edit: Lemmy devs to be specific

Well then you’ll need a good mattress to store your money because in the future, all banks would be doing it.

“Your life is worth it, don’t give up!”

Right as I think about my own suicide plans.

I feel like a hypocrite.

Us as in Lemmy Users who came from reddit

Y’all know which one, the one that brought most of us here.

June 12, 2023, nothing happened on the front page, it was a peaceful day, there is no protest, carry on, internet user.

(It was June 12 right? My post-covid memory has been a bit blurry)

Edit: typo

I hate this reality, but remember that in 1950, Black Americans were literally being lynched. I don’t think a trump presidency is worse than that or even nearly as bad, at least not this soon. If dems dont win the midterms and get a 2028 trifecta we might have a problem.

Remember, the US has federalism. Power is shared between the states and the federal government. The federal government dont have the manpower to literally put people in concentration camps, not yet.

If you live in a red state or red city, move, now. Move to a Blue State and Blue City.

Federalism is our last defence against fascism. Democracy might be dying, but it aint dead yet. The Climate however, thats another story :(

Only thing an average person can do is try to get people to vote, midterms, presidential, local. Every election Primary or General. Low turnout in Primary could lead to disasterous candidates.

Lol I remember lemmy.world got hacked and they put some weird “FBI Seized This” stuff on it. Also Lemmy shitpost had some um… illegal images or so I’ve been told. What a wild start.

I love the piracy community. No need to fear corporate crackdowns for now. This place is awesome. Well awesome place for me to vent in, cuz of um… recent political events. :(

I dont want to talk to people on reddit, seems like its just bots. I like how Lemmy has bot fiter applications on many instances. Fuck the bots.

Ah so its not that bad, I was under the impression by your comment that it died like at 1k or less people lol

Where the number at? I want to see for myself.

This is so depressing. I thought this was gonna be a cool little bubble. The bubble just pops… :(

I look at the reddit front page and everyone one in the comments are saying the posts on reddit are bot activity, which, at this point, I don’t doubt. Internet is dead. :(
