Yeah I actually liked the whole Vista/7 era Windows looks. Didn’t like anything else about Vista but that wasn’t Windows Aero’s fault.

Isn’t that what Whatsapp and Telegram are already used for?
I mean yeah, you’re right about the desktop mode, but 90% of new user facing features are going to be in one app or another generally.
Technically the desktop mode itself might also be an app, though a window manager or desktop environment isn’t something we conventionally think of as an app.
No idea when I’ll get to touch a new enough Android to play with it. My old Oneplus is on shaky custom rom support and my daily driver is an iPhone (which will likely get much longer software support and is newer to begin with)
Everything in Android is an app tbh, even the launcher is a completely normal app.
Man it’s porn, not guns. Children should not be near it!
Oh wait this is France
Anyway, I agree with you. We’re talking about regular ol garden variety porn. Everyone will probably see it at some point. Parents can limit what their kids see until the kids become smart enough to bypass filters. At which point they can probably handle seeing pennis n vagene.
Good ol’ Anja und Katja definitely helped me out in my teenage years.
It’s not just the nazis. Rich fucks from all over the world keep money there to hide it from authorities. Though I guess that’s changing now.
Switzerland has pretty decent privacy laws of its own, why you think Swiss bank accounts are a meme?
Also Quad9 is Swiss which may actually better than EU?
I love how this is actually an example of progress. These days, ML can be used for this kinda thing and it’s not too bad at it even.
Orion browser is a bit better than Safari for adblocking but doesn’t solve the issue of other apps
Those sound even worse than the AI gen car memes I get lol
Exactly this. lemm.ee wasn’t ever really into defederation either.
I recommend… Wait, shit
All I see if I scroll is AI slop. Hundred different variations of one theme or another in different groups or pages I’ve never subscribed to.
I go straight to Marketplace or whatever group I need and that’s it these days.
Originally the criticism was that you see the highlights of other people’s lives and then compare that to your everyday life and that’s depressing.
Nowadays I think it’s all the politics being injected everywhere. Me? I look for cars and car parts on groups. That’s about it.
My cheap ass TV from 2019 is 55 inches. How much is a 55 inch monitor? Or a 65 in monitor if I want to upgrade to a bigger size in the future?
Well in the EU you get instant free payments through SEPA and the US is trying to implement something similar with FedNow. Doesn’t solve the cross border issues, but Wise does once you can get the money on Wise. I get paid in dollars via ACH and they become euros real fast once I see them in my account. 1000 dollars converted is just under 3 dollars in fees and then the transfer from Wise to any other SEPA account is free and instant.
Now crypto could very well make this all even smoother worldwide but unfortunately we have governments and they like to see what’s going on. So no reputable merchants will ever be able to take XMR payments in most countries.
I feel like Android and Linux (being that it’s what Android itself is based on) do the whole “everything is an app” much better than, say, Windows. On Windows, generally speaking, your entire desktop experience is built-in and so tightly coupled that it’s hard to switch it out. On Linux, you don’t NEED a GUI at all, but if you want one, you’ll have a display server, a window manager, etc. On Android, at least without the desktop mode, the base GUI is the launcher, which is just an app.
System apps that require root access are still apps. Of course the kernel isn’t really an app and I don’t think Google Play Services fits most people’s definitions of an app. System libraries aren’t apps. So those are the parts that you could consider true “OS updates” as opposed to “app updates”, but since the “apps” part of the system (if you include system apps) is so much more visible to the user, an OS update will seem like it’s mostly a bunch of app updates.
