Every 60s show seems to be scored as though the camera could pan out any time and reveal whatever setting you thought you were in was in fact a black-tie ballroom party with a big band ensemble.

When government/corporate services are involved, I suggest doing as much as you can via the web browser as opposed to app, in the interests of privacy and civil liberty.

So long as it’s going through the browser we have a degree of control over functionality and connectivity. Apps strip that away. Apps are you doing everything on their terms, while suffering an ad (their logo) on your home screen rent-free. You can pin browser bookmarks to home as well in Android.

Rating schemes inevitably become subject to gaming and P2W.

Service providers need to be honest about their stack and its implementation, and people need to git gud.

When is the company axing search?

Is open source router firmware a huge upgrade from a functionality and security perspective over standard vendor-issue firmware? Migrating has always been on the todo list, but I fear just following a web how-to won’t be enough, and a certain level of networking knowledge is required.

My needs are pretty basic: main network, guest network, and a method for work device isolation aka Windows containment (perhaps a VLAN is what I’m after).

Bots aren’t the problem. You mistake the tool for its operator by cursing a bot. If I had a specific purpose for a bot, I’d use one. The difference between my using a bot and a clickfarmer using a bot is that I wouldn’t treat Lemmy instances as a resource to be exploited (and ultimately ruined). Such an attitude would inform the how and the what behind my bot use.

The problem as always comes back to bad incentives, bad design and bad behaviour.

I can see the measures we currently take for ads (large user-maintained subscribable blocklists) being part of the solution. That, and some form of privacy-respecting POW scheme.

Thanks for posting.

What sort of bizarre org politics enables a camera boil that fugly to be signed off and shipped? That is disgusting. Phone designers have to be living in a bubble - they’ve lost touch with all principles of good design. Either that or the bill-of-materials folk rank over them, and this is the designers’ attempt to accommodate them.

190 grams is too heavy. Phones shouldn’t be more than 165.
