knowledge is power. I've grown to really hate technology, but being knowledgeable about it has helped me to stay safer in the dystopia. buy a phone with an unlockable bootloader and install a custom ROM. code your own apps, I learned java within the span of 3 days to make my own WebView apps of mobile sites instead of making a Google account or using the play store. people who have never been into tech can't do this kind of stuff. you're smart about the digital footprint though, I've been minimizing where I can since 2024 because I saw the writing on the wall even back then.

RDX is the only way I view reddit now, when I have to.

that's true, things can change at any point. hopefully a workaround is found if it ever gets to that point though. them sandboxing Google play was impressive in itself.

i have one myself, and I can tell you that grapheneos won't be affected by this. the real damage is to people using things like dumb phones or BSD, even windows computers are effectively locked out of the internet.

For the last few days I have been trying to create "lite" apps for services I use by writing webview applications in android studio using Java. The problem is that when I press the back button on the navigation bar, the apps exit to the launcher instead of returning to the previous webpage. ive tried using

@Override
    public void onBackPressed()
    {
        if(app.canGoBack()){
            app.goBack();
        }else{
            super.onBackPressed();
        }

even though onBackPressed is deprecated to no avail. ive also tried

@Override
    public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
        if (event.getAction()== KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN){
            switch (keyCode){
                case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK:
                    if (app.canGoBack()) {

                        app.goBack();
                    }

                    return true;
                    }
            }
        return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
    }

which again fixes nothing. im effectively posting this here as a last resort because nobody else on the entire internet seems to know whats going on and i wanna fix it :( im using the latest version of android studio on windows 11 21h2, writing in java with the latest sdk.

dang, even with vanadium on graphene i am very uniquely identified. I suppose it can't be helped these days.

this is probably going to become the normal internet again after the inevitable social media age verification laws get passed.

most useless purchase of a domain ever

when I was 16 I knew I didn't want to drive one day. didn't end up saving for a car like all my classmates and friends. now look who's laughing, not them because the car will think they're drunk if they do.

I actually love this channel and have been subscribed for a year or so

I totally agree. except now instead of communities beefing with each other it's entire instances defederated over owner disagreements.

I got downvoted there because I didn't speak negatively about you all

colour me shocked ahahaha

 

just wondering if anyone can help me fix this. I bought the pixel 10 a few days ago and installed graphene on it. but I have this issue where the ringer volume will turn itself down to like 10 percent for no reason constantly. very frustrating as I have a lot of important calls I can't keep missing due to the ringer being barely audible.

For as long as I can remember (even dating back to childhood) ive never had a consistent ability to maintain a sleep time. This has resulted in me always being tired. I remember in elementary school over the summer I'd fall asleep at 4am and wake up at 12pm. In high school I would sleep at 4am, wake up at 8:30 for school, then sleep the second half at 4pm when i got home. Earlier this year I was sleeping at 3 in the afternoon until 11pm at night, then I would stay up all night and go to work. Today I fell asleep at 7pm or so and woke up at 2am, just been watching a show and listening to music since then while waiting to get ready for work. Often times if I try and maintain a specific time of sleeping I will roll around for hours awake, or alternatively I will only sleep for a few hours and then fall back asleep later. The longest ive been able to manage a consistent sleep time was in 11th grade, for about 6 months I slept at 11pm but gradually my body started wanting to push later and later. I tend to only get a full 8 hours of sleep one or two nights per week as well, sometimes I'll drink alcohol to help sleep longer but only on a friday or saturday.

 

i was getting hex withdrawal. I didn't even use Lemmy that much while you were unfederated from the URL thing and would read from your actual webpage. most other instances feel unbearable these last few months.

 

for the last few days I was having extremely weird chest movements where my heart would seemingly not beat, then beat really hard and make me cough. combine this with getting sick to the point of delirium and hallucinating and I knew I had to go to the hospital. got diagnosed with heart palpitations which isn't so bad apparently, my heart just doesn't beat normally. but I'm really bummed I was told I have covid as welll. my roomates were gonna surprise me and take me somewhere that it snows on the 25th because I have never seen snow except for in the distance on the mountains after moving here. but now we all got covid and are bedridden :/

 

Decided to put my phone on do not disturb and go see some nature on this Friday morning.

 

Having dropped New Vegas in the past due to lost interest, I decided to try this game out finally since a friend of mine was having a fallout 3 playthrough himself. It was it 8 bucks, so I figured why not. I have to say, I put way more hours into this game than both other Bethesda games I've played through (Skyrim and Oblivion) before even finishing the main quest line. The combat was excellent in my opinion, and I (seem to be in the minority of people who) really liked the story. The choices it forces you to make sometimes really had me feeling emotional at times. I also played it with some minor mods installed, just some custom outfits and real world guns for immersion. Nothing to break the story or anything, though there are a few DLC sized mods I'm eyeing up to play in the future. Overall I seriously enjoyed this game, I've noticed online it seems to be regarded as one of the least popular mainline games but I think it's become my favourite Bethesda game I've tried so far honestly. Seriously recommend anyone who hasn't played this yet to at least give it a try. It really pulled me in.

Edit: Since I'm done with F4, got New Vegas running with some nice mods to add gritty aesthetics and real world weapons. Giving it another try 6 years after I initially tried it and so far I'm way more into it!

Edit 2: more specific context

 

I'm looking for either unbiased nonfiction, or translated stories directly from the time and place. I figured you all here would be a good source to ask :p

 

Worth noting: the warning originally had a direct mention that the attack was from a surveilling government, but they removed that part after being asked.

 

I got a quote at the dentist that my mouth would cost like 20k to fix (it's really bad, every generation of my family before me has no teeth). I really just want to not look like the way I do when I smile, as I'm missing a front tooth. I also have a recurring infection that I keep delaying at the ER because Medicaid covers the antibiotics but I can't actually afford the dentist. I've tried looking for dental schools but in my area there isn't a program that offers the free thing if you're a test dummy for a student. I'm not sure what to do and my worry is that if the infection gets bad enough I'll just have to accept early death due to lack of care. In the USA if it's not obvious enough already.

 

Hopefully this is the right kind of question for this community, my apologies if not.

I'm looking for some sort of device that will let me load my own media from a USB / SD card, and play it to my TV. Does such a device exist? Some sort of remote controlled box that can just load mp4 / mkv files from locally hosted storage? I have been using my PC over HDMI but it can get annoying having an awkward room layout because my computer always has to be next to the TV to do this.
