Idk all the particulars, I just know my S7 is still not bootloader unlockable, and pretty sure previous galaxy phones weren’t either. That was my last Samsung. Not sure if this was a US thing, a T-Mobile/Sprint think (who I had back then), or a Samsung thing. But HTC and Pixel phones seemed to always be unlockable.

CPM on tech, finance, and health (a lot of what I watch) is often $5-10. And apparently google pays creators even more than that rate for premium viewers.

Even so, direct payment is likely to be more profitable to creators than just watching ads or having premium.

But even as a technical person, I’ve never really been interested in finding ways to block ads on my PC, MacBook, iPhone, Android (when I had one), and Roku/AppleTV. And potentially having to keep up with the apparently changing landscape of YouTube adblocker a for each. Sounds like a pain in the ass. I’d rather just pay for family premium, and easily share the benefits with my mom, sister, & wife without having to offer technical support for their ad blocking.

Kbin has a separate tab within a community called “microblog” I think. Any hashtags set by the community are automatically followed in the “microblog” feed and can be fully interacted with.

This doesn’t bring threadiverse content into mastodon, but it does bring kbin users at least, into mastodon.

And with the @ing of lemmy communities, you can post from mastodon to lemmy. There’s some work to be done, for sure, but I think we’re close to a decent solution.

But also, 100% compatibility would be odd, wouldn’t you just switch platforms if you wanted the different functionality.

Samsungs (at least the ones I had) don’t have unlockable bootloaders. And the pixel, well custom Roms don’t fix hardware issues.

no no no, its not a critique specifically of you. Native english speakers do this all the time. And I’m sure its inevitable that “comparatively” will make that transition too.

I’m interested: is there a german word to replace "vergleichsweise " to more explicitly mean “comparison”?

True, true…

Aside: Back in my day, we could use the term “relatively” to mean “in relation to” some other thing. Over time it became “in relation to the average thing” instead of a specific thing. Now it just means “a little bit”/“sort of”. Now people use “comparatively” to convey what “relatively” used to mean. Except… you just now seem to be making that same “relatively” transition with the word “comparatively”. I just find language interesting, and wonder what the next “relatively” will be once that meaning has been lost even to “comparatively”.

There are 2 types of people, the 2/3 year people, and the 20-life people. 10 is a lot to the 2/3 year people… but not to the others

Ok, thanks for the tip.

Idk, I watch a lot, a variety too. I thumbs content, mark not interested. And my recommendations are an absurd over representation of the last 3 or so topics I’ve recently viewed mixed with a small selection of my subscriptions it’s decided I want to watch.

That’s how we treat it in America….

I just hope one of them doesn’t crash, causing a lithium fire.

So you’ve used TS and wouldn’t opt to kill it?!

Tbh I’ve only used JS and don’t know how different JS and TS are outside the typing.

I highly highly highly doubt that will ever happen. I don’t see how you could achieve such a thing without a fundamental rewrite of Lemmy itself. Or the other option is you basically have a bot going around replicating everything you do, subjecting everyone to your echo. And it’d still not be a perfect sync, because people could only reply to one of the comments/posts

Even if it’s a link to a tool, not a specific piece of content?

I’ll have to look into the latest androids, but I’m sure the only one that’s really a contender will be the latest Pixel. I love the option to use Graphene OS also.

Anything more than like 2.5mg seems to put me in a dysfunctional state where my short term memory is just… idk how to describe it other than completely and utterly fucked.

Idk if it’s just my genes, or ADHD or both, but my wife can tank edibles even as the petite little thing she is.

lol, such wholesomeness

I thought a reverse proxy was meant to kinda help mitigate some of the threats of having exposed services….

Idk, I’ve got a domain and a reverse proxy with minimal services exposed to the internet. And those services require a login.

I’m no apple shill, but every Samsung I’ve had felt great for a few months. And rapidly started to run like absolute shit. Then I swore off them for a couple of years, and came back when everyone was like “this one’s different, it’s not like the ones before” and then I had the same issue. So I got a Pixel, and that was so much better software wise. But that pixel 2 had a design defect that saw lots of devices having GPS problems and that was annoying as hell when I was trying to do Uber.

My past 2 phones have been iPhones. Not perfect, I miss lots of the customization and developer level control over stuff… but my phone works, reliably. I was pissed about throttlegate , I had one of those phones affected, but the phone was like 4/5 years old… and I decided that my experience with other phones was worse, and got another iPhone.

I’m feeling the need to upgrade again, and while I can’t endorse a lot of the anti-consumer shit apple does… I need a reliable phone. So, hopefully there’s another option out there for me.

I mean, they only put that on consumer grade devices. lol
