I love every ape I see, from chimpan-A to chimpanzee…

That’s because the Beatles broke up in 1970, so anyone who remembers them from their active years is well over 60, which would be really stretching the definition of middle-aged

I find Simpsons Hit and Run isn’t getting any younger

Every time someone says experienced users should use a more difficult to use distribution I die a little inside - I happily use Mint, have done for years, why make my life more difficult?

Depending on your launcher it can be even easier. I use the Firefox logo on Mull (Firefox fork from F-Droid) to make it easier to find

Agree. It should be pretty thorough for a Samsung tablet

This is what I’ve done a couple of times now

But… I haven’t had any feedback on whether this is effective from the perspective of getting rid of Google entirely

I will say that it makes the phone feel really light and fast, literally every app in the app drawer is one you put there yourself. My battery life is usually better too

The UAD should be pretty safe (and I think it’s a bit conservative in what it recommends) but make sure you take care with the packages you remove yourself

Your employer does not care about you. You are not important or irreplaceable

Take your time and energy and put it into your life, not their business

I have had coworkers die (not work related) and by the time you hear about it (like the next day) they have already worked out who will get the work done so the machine doesn’t have to stop

Typical Reddit voting v Lemmy voting

Ethical phishing: Email Twitter users, steal their credentials, close their accounts

Cool cool, definitely not criticising, and a great article to post

I think the weakness of the article was mentioning that the email passed the Security Policy Framework (i.e. appeared to legitimately be from x.com) without discussing why this is possible and who is responsible for it not happening

They even say in bold that ‘the primary responsibility less with the end user’, but in this case even careful users could easily be caught

I used Universal Android Debloater which uninstalls or freezes packages for the user, including many that you can’t see as installed apps (happy to hear from anyone who knows how effective this is)

This is my degoogle without root process:

• full reset
• set up the phone without connecting to the internet
• enable Developer options and USB debugging
• install basic apps (F-Droid, a keyboard, launcher, and file manager apks from F-Droid) over adb
• run Universal Android Debloater
• reboot to make sure it boots :)
• use adb to list installed packages and remove as needed (I still had to remove some Netflix, Facebook, Amazon and Google packages, as well as plenty from the manufacturer)
• reboot and test, then install apps as needed from F-Droid

Be careful when uninstalling, as some critical packages could soft brick your phone. If the phone boots you can reinstall a package over adb

This is a great short analysis, but I think the generic recommendations are a bit strange when tacked onto it

Firstly, who knows what to expect from the Twitter X changeover. If I had a blue subscription I wouldn’t not (!) expect to get an email about migrating considering the chaos so far

Then the email is verified as coming from Twitter, and sends you to the genuine Twitter API. No amount of 2FA or antivirus is going to save you here

My understanding is that Lemmur is effectively abandoned and won’t work

I’m sure this is a stupid simple take, but could a nation like Norway avoid this (at least for a while) by selling oil in other currencies and maintaining their investments in other currencies?

I love that emulation lets me play small screen games on a big screen (I know the Steam Deck can do both, but the pitch is more ‘big screen games made portable’)
