I just want to turn off Stories.
It works fine for where I am but using a privacy friendly alternative is going to come with downsides, as it depends heavily on crowd sourced data.
Searching sucks big time for me too, as locations are not written in english here, you have to assume what the english transliteration might be. I just start with short close matches, and that usually works out after a little bit of digging. Google maps usually gives out most searched locations right away and often that's you're looking after.
We can only hope It will get better as more people start using it
it's free until oracle decides to shut it down without warnings. Then everything goes poof
what's with that? without mentioning why they suck, that's just the ol' "trust me, bro"
You get a raspberry pi. Then you get a durable SD card. You make the card bootable with the appropriate tool on your PC. While you're on the PC, you can make additional configuration changes in text files to configure wifi network credentials, static IP address and others. WIFI credentials being most important if you don't plan to connect it by ethernet or don't have extra monitors, keyboards, and mouse.
Then you place the SD card to the Pi and boot it up. It automatically connects to the WIFI using the credentials you set in the SD card. If you used an static IP address, use it to ssh into it. Then copy the pihole installation code from the pihole website. And you're done.
If you want to give pihole a try before you get a Raspberry pi, you can install it within other Linux OS, like Linux mint. You can move all the configurations by exporting them later.
Since they are adding it as a part of Google Play Services and Google certifies Google Play compatible devices, hopefully this will be a requirement if they want to include Google's playstore.
So on the today's news, a kindergarten stand off, A is facing off B over who has a bigger pencil. C sides with A while he breaks his own and gives it to A. D is eating crayons in anticipation, F is knocked out asleep on the floor, and G looks high as fuck.
Xitter has gone down the shitter
Also Apple is known for supporting its devices for years and years longer than Android phone makers, so I have no idea why anyone would claim anything about planned obsolescence.
If a browser (iOS) is tied to a system update, you can claim to give out updates years beyond anyone else and it might include anything but a brower "update" and they'll still be able to call it a security update. Those updates to older iOS devices are watered down versions of what latest phones get.You'll also get security patches but Android can provide many patches directly through Google play store and services without pushing a system update.
Android manufacturers might abandon phones, but there's an after market community which provides trustworthy updates and security patches long beyond Apple does. I still have an Android tablet which won't update further than 4.4, but can still run apps that are regularly updated through f-droid(website, their app doesn't support 4.4 anymore). With Apple you're fucked with Appstore, being the only source for apps. And your old device is as good as a pdf reader.
That is planned obsolescence and both Android manufactuers and Apple do it. With Android, you still have after-market options without rooting your device.
Sure you might say those third party app and ROM security isn't as reliable but for less half the price of Apple devices, they last way longer than what fanboys give Android devices credit for.
Also Apple hardware is top-tier because they have exclusive contracts with with top-tier hardware manufacturers and limit everyone elses access to it. That's what you can do when you're a trillion dollar company. And yes, I agree their hardware is top tier, That hardware that runs only what Apple wants is what I reccomend to old folks and teenagers who are less technically literate and are likely tap every link on their email, popup on scammy website or download obscure game/apps from the internet.
I currently have a Pixel 6 and and iPad, the most I do on iPad is watch some movies. And I say that as someone who hates both of them

Just the other day I was thinking if i could run a mini games server on a raspberry pi. All the flash games growing up in a local device would be pretty darn awesome for the kids. would this help accomplish that?
