DON’T TURN ON DISPLAYING SECONDS IN THE TASKBAR BECAUSE THAT’LL USE MORE ENERGY!

jeez, we can’t have anything nice. Sucks that my first reaction was “probably bankrolled” too.

Sounds right, it’s just an all-or-nothing gambit or both you and the major party you align with would lose big.

You’ll have to appeal to the masses, get them willing to vote since voter turnout is not good, get awareness and enough energy to convince people to gamble on a vote for your third party since if each only get half of all voters on “their” side, the opposition wins. All while fighting the established party and all the funds, big names, etc. that empower it.

Heck, the US Democratic party has seemingly been willing to lose democracy than allow any progressive candidates to rise in the party.

first-past-the-post voting is the most common system in the States (and most prominent in presidential elections) which generally means additional parties rising to prominence will almost assuredly split the vote with the closest party so a new worker’s party will have to magically eclipse and obliterate the Democratic party overnight or they will both lose to the Republicans indefinitely.

It’s a very real belief, lot of folks here weren’t around to know the “before times” and nothing is ever real until it happens to them.

Don’t worry all, the FAQ has reassured me that you can still use offline features like… checking the battery level!

Oh no, I don’t think it would be able to pull from iCloud directly, I believe there is an option to delete uploaded photos on the iOS device after uploading in the Nextcloud app but I don’t know if that is automatic or requires the user to acknowledge a prompt unfortunately.

This isn’t necessarily a 1:1 answer for you but it’s just what I have experience with: I used Nextcloud for a period of time and set up the app to upload which worked like any basic cloud storage service but what I’ve done since (I downsized) is just use the PhotoSync app and it’s companion on my PC. You can target a PC (like I do), WebDAV, FTP, SMB, etc. which may help with scalability.

The Trust Thermocline!

The important part is that she is non-technical, not that she’s a woman.

ugh I remember my last straw on Facebook was my high school alumni group becoming a shit-storm of sea-lioning and a couple folks blocking people and also spamming nostalgia-posts to drown out and push down more serious discussion. A high school famous for it’s science-focus but alas, the older (but not much older) folks were openly commenting about that black-people-crime-percentage “statistic” and gay people.

Google isn’t necessarily the seller, but Best Buy, Staples, Amazon, Walmart and Target could hash out a deal with Google (or Bing, etc.) for “insights”.

This post is posed as the next big step in internet pricing, not something necessarily happening today.

Today, it’s not standard procedure outside of some specific segments (that I know of, maybe airfare? But the data fed in is more limited) but tapping into the vast amounts of data we leak through the services we use is far too big of a gold mine for companies to overlook researching and tapping into. There’s a lot of things that need to happen (who supplies data? Google is the hypothetical here but what’s their price? etc.) but it’s absolutely feasible at scale.

excellent, glad to hear

Does RCS work reliably on Graphene? I thought Google was fucking with RCS quietly for those on custom ROMs or other things.

Google removed “Ok Google with the screen off” (made the toggle disappear, replaced with the option to allow its use in apps) on my Moto Z Play via Play Services updates and later advertised it as a Pixel-exclusive feature. (this was when the Pixel 1 was new)

Their support threads were ended curtly with statements of the phone not supporting the feature which I guess was technically true now that they changed it. (but no, the hardware always supported hotwords)

Never got that feature back and I bailed. For the ups and downs, I’m glad Apple doesn’t do that, instead omitting or handicapping new features for older devices. Of course not the best but yeesh, at least I don’t have to worry about “Hey Siri” being pulled to promote the iPhone 20 yet…

Oh yep, not the same person here but price varies widely.

In my apartment complex, we have Blink network EV chargers at $0.03/kWh which is a crazy price. The complex next door’s Blink chargers charges $0.50ish/kWh (both of those are Level 2) and our apartment rates (for the hypothetical out-the-window Level 1 charging) is somewhere $0.14-0.18/kWh.

DC fast charging for trips will likely will charge closer to that $0.50/kWh mark depending on the location and will be a problem for those who don’t have lower-cost charging at home.

That’s a big range for “home” (but still commercial) charging and depending on the efficiency of the vehicle, the cost per mile will vary. The range will likely be around 2 mi/kWh to 4 mi/kWh.

Those types of announcements are their equivalent of Tesla’s “full-self driving next year guys!” every year since like 2015?

These “breakthroughs” are Toyota “Full-Self Driving next year!” fluff and I’ll believe it when it’s shipped and performing.

bro would be catching up on FTX news and their takeaway would be “damn rats snitched on SBF!”
