If you as a content creator have a choice between a platform with 3 billion people (US and India included), like Shorts and Instagram Reels, and one without (TikTok), where would you post?

This is a clear disadvantage given to tiktok only to protect its own companies cause if US actually cared about data and mental health, homegrown Tech companies would also face repercussions.

LETS NOT FORGET, China can VERY EASILY buy most of the data it needs from the open market which many US companies, including Big Tech contribute to.

This has done nothing for citizens. Only protected innovation less US companies.

Although GPS or hardware based location does work on LineageOS, it seems there is no easy way to get software based Network Location officially on LineageOS due to UnifiedNLP getting deprecated and merged to GMS Core. (Also see this post)

After discussing with community and my own research, there are 2 ways to get it on LineageOS-

  1. Either get LineageOS for MicroG. Problem with that being it is not official.
  2. Or get some older version of UnifiedNLP with MinMicroG (also an older version) or some other 3rd party installer.

Both of these are complicated and risky (as flashing can brick a phone) processes for something that is software based and is only half part of location services as GPS still works, meaning imo, you aren't getting your effort's worth. Especially noobs.

This post is an upto date guide for future users (as not many might get difference between GPS and Network Location) while also inviting suggestions for older users on how they dealt with the problem.

Hi I made a Lemmy account specifically to save posts for future view.

To support the OPs, I opted to like instead of saving them as doing both is not ideal as I don't like to save every post, only some important ones.

But to my surprise, there is no way of viewing posts you liked/upvoted. Only saved posts appear in your profile.

This is in stark contrast to Reddit and even Mastodon which show both. I wonder if such a feature is in the pipeline or some way which exists to view them.

The best alternative is to just have lists support in Saved Posts like Instagram or Pinterest has.

Can any third party Lemmy clients do this? To be clear- I'd like to view posts I upvoted retrospectively and not from now on or something.

This is not a new request. I made this post to ask for things other requesters have not mentioned such as third party clients and comparision to Mastodon and Pinterest.

I thought this meant the writer is forgoing Amazon as a service completely.

Cause that would be something worth reading. Not these first world problems ffs

So by that you mean that is some hugeass soldier riding his humongous horse.

One of their steps scaling an entire country or something?

[-] hughesdikus@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 months ago

That's easy.

You are privacy conscious in those unnecessarily rich parties you got invited to by mistake.

You are poor for your homies and family.

just like Apple, limited models and limited parts. It will probably take till 2030 or something before it comes even close to being available "globally".

The phones are designed to be be hard to repair. So it is obvious most people won't be doing this themselves. Which was the dream.

Just because the guy in memes is a jerk doesnt mean we cant laugh at memes.

There are literal Hitler memes on the internet.

Do you think people who put Satan in their memes want to really go to hell or something?

It had today's tiktok crowd. It was a huge hit. The only reason it failed is because of monetisation.

Only reason YouTube is popular. No competitor can match it in those terms.

Saying Vine was ahead of its time is like saying Digg or MySpace was ahead of its time. No it was at the precipice and just horribly failed to manage its growth and responding to competitors

That's not so much a Linux problem as a Corporate greed problem.

Remember a big part in Windows mobile dying was its lack of Google support and not it itself lacking in any way

[-] hughesdikus@lemmy.ml 7 points 5 months ago

I can agree Linux is not intuitive.

I won't agree Windows is intuitive. Its just not.

My argument? 2 settings panels for more than a decade now.

That's it

The only thing Linux needs is proper hardware marketed well globally.

Linux needs to position itself to a market just like how ChromeOS did.

That is just not what linux is doing.

Convincing any one particular entity to do anything won't mean luls for Linux market share, so much it will only make the lives of existing users more convenient

The question is why. You can't stop kids from watching it. People get it one way or another. This does nothing than cause mild dips in viewership.

And frankly the kind of stuff on law abiding sites like PH is not doing any noticeable harm anyway. Raising awareness on sexual education if anything.

Most kids begin watching/experimenting around 14. Around 16 is when they should have sex ed and 18 is adulthood anyway. What's the point?

Not comparable but we are back to the "video games cause violence" nonsense.

Sometimes kids just dont need government protection. This is one of those times.

Not technically. Practically. In real world. As slang.

Cause technically and by definition, It's still very much gendered.
