gigglybastard@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•The Fairphone 5 price has been dropped to €499. The phone is designed to be the most advanced environmentally friendly smartphone.English2·5 months agoalright thanks for the extensive answer, this sounds great. i like the two profiles setup. and i didn’t even know about aurora store ( i am out of the loop i know :) ) looks like this could be my next phone, and previous gen looks great enough, i don’t need the latest bells and whistles, pixel 8 would be great.
gigglybastard@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•The Fairphone 5 price has been dropped to €499. The phone is designed to be the most advanced environmentally friendly smartphone.English3·5 months agohow is pixel with graphene os ? does it completely remove all google spyware shit? or do they have some sort of hardware backdoor?
the reason I ask is because i have a motorola right now and it pisses me off immensely … there is this notification they keep pushing, “Activate Live Lock screen” which i don’t even know what it is, some background pictures crap. I uninstalled this app, but the notification remains. Like it’s not there always but keeps coming back every few days. this has been going on for months and i got so pissed i decided to contact support and complain there. they said, something along the lines of, we can connect remotely and do it for you. ( like disable, but they can’t disable because i went through every option on the phone, it cannot be disabled, it’s just bloatware) but their “we can do it for you remotely” got me thinking, backdoors, backdoors everywhere.
now i want a new phone lol and one that can support a custom firmware but installing custom firmwares on pretty much all phones is a nightmare.
but i also hate buying anything google, hence my question.
gigglybastard@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Tesla Stock Price Reaches 'Death Cross' StatusEnglish19·5 months agoit’s just a moving average cross. 50 day MA moves below 200 MA, that’s it. Can be a bearish sign but I’ve seen it bounce in this moment a bunch of times.
But technical analsyis is just drawing imaginary lines on a chart, they know nothing about how stupid Trump and Musk are so it might very well be bearish. At least I hope so. I want to see him get margin called at 114$ or so they say.

I would need to clear out one of my drives, i have three of them, 256gb, 512gb and 2tb. I keep windows on the smallest one. I would need to clear out the 512gb one and just get it done.
might get it done when w11 pisses me off a few more times :D
gigglybastard@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?English5·5 months agothat’s also my excuse, but then again, i don’t even game that much. and i’m on rtx 3070 which will be getting too old soon for new games and new GPUs are just too expensive.
And god i hate w11. i mean it’s not that different than w10 but things just don’t work!
my logitech mouse stutters for no fucking reason, 10 year old games lag for no fucking reason. the whole windows lags after being waken up from sleep after a few days, i could go on and on. none of these problems existed on w10.

gigglybastard@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•FOSS infrastructure is under attack by AI companiesEnglish2·6 months agothat sounds great in theory but a) noone respects this and b) noone enforces this
i know because i reported a bunch of companies and websites and every time i got a reply “welp, there’s nothing we can do”
GDRP is useless

gigglybastard@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in AprilEnglish3·6 months agoI never got the appeal of plex. I’ve been using Serviio back in the day and it was free, open source and did what I needed it to, which is play a video on tv, that’s it.
Plex wanted me to purchase subscription years ago and I couldn’t for the life of me figure it out how to set it up for free.
I’ve been using stremio for a few years now but i think it’s closing in on the EOL as well, so i might go back to serviio and kodi one of these days. Just need a good NAS that could run a streaming server as well. Don’t want to keep my gaming rig on at all times just to watch movies.

gigglybastard@lemmy.worldto Reddit@lemmy.world•Top post of Reddit. We are gonna see large influx of users.6·6 months agoFacts, it’s already happening when most of the perfectly fine comments are collapsed in any interesting topic. Like yesterday when twitter was down. Every comment under the top level memes were collapsed so you have to click the + in front of it and get bored quickly and just give up. Same today with Musk post about being all weird about his empire.
nothing to see here move along type of thing
gigglybastard@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What safeguards does Lemmy have that allow it to maintain integrity if it sees a sudden rise in popularity?2·6 months agook thanks . by linked i meant this fediverse thing. I was reading here on reddit
Here is the catch, users from each server can interact with one another. So users who created their account in lemmy.world can comment in the subs of lemmy.ml aka the other server.
Now, when it comes to the last point, this is only possible if the two servers admins agree to do so. This is called federation
gigglybastard@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•To make America great, Donald Trump is undoing its greatness as global stock markets fall0·6 months agoHot damn, i am also not an economist, I had to read that article 3 times just to grasps what Yanis is trying to say.
So in essence, when Trump and Musk said, brace for recession, it will have to be bad before it gets good, this article confirms it.
Trump wants to devalue the dollar to boost exports and thus strengthen the domestic production?
This i don’t understand though:
This is what his critics do not understand. They mistakenly think that he thinks that his tariffs will reduce America’s trade deficit on their own. He knows they will not. Their utility comes from their capacity to shock foreign central bankers into reducing domestic interest rates. Consequently, the euro, the yen and the renminbi will soften relative to the dollar. This will cancel out the price hikes of goods imported into the US, and leave the prices American consumers pay unaffected. The tariffed countries will be in effect paying for Trump’s tariffs.
So foreign currencies will also soften relative to the dollar? How can all currencies devalue at the same time? Is he trying to create world wide recession ?
If someone could ELI5 for us, that’d be great.
Another thing I’d like to mention, I respect Yanis a lot but Trump has never given us any indication he indeed thinks and understands economics on this level. Maybe he treats us all as dumbasses and dumbs it down for us but the truth is, he has never spoken in terms that would indicate he understands economy at this level. So he’s either getting muppetered by others or Yanis is giving him too much credit.
thanks, this sounds great. i’ve installed a few custom firmwares but like a decade ago and i wanted to install one on my motorola recently and was just perplexed at the complexity of it all, i might be getting old. i mean i can follow instructions, but just so many things can go wrong, don’t do this, softbrick, don’t do that, hardbrick … honestly, the instructions were well written but unorganized a bit, just put me off.
i think i might like GOS tho, sounds great and 2nd hand pixel 8 or so are cheap enough so i’ll probably give it a go.
