When you think about it, you can’t really disable anything.

Why can't a public trust buy 23andMe? in c/[email protected]

Because nobody trusts the public and the public doesn’t trust anybody.

Question regarding android phones in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The issue is that easily unlockable bootloaders exist, it’s just that they exist on [Shady Company] Pixels. So you either move on to a privacy focused OS and lose a bunch of basic ass features because [Shady Company] slowly removed them from the main OS, or you end up using the least privacy focused device ever made in the history of humanity. So if you’re just in it for the basics, iOS is the way to go. I’m telling you this as someone who has been rooting, buying and selling Android devices for about 9 years.

The internet is forever and there is no privacy on the internet.

The unseen struggle: Job dissatisfaction and minimal effort among young professionals in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago

That’s because I got a 3% raise when I needed at least 15-20%. All the bootlickers got promoted with higher raises and now I work (literally) more than ever before. It’s a free market. I’ll adjust my labor effort accordingly and you will not know about it.

What happens when the US runs out of SSNs? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Well, if only one generation passed away, that already puts us at 660M lol. Then there’s immigration, temporary issued SSNs based on work visas (huge numbers here btw) and so on.

How about dead SSNs between ‘36 and ‘62? Great work on the calculation but all I’m saying is, if the government ran out of numbers and recycled them already, nobody would know about it. The whole situation is ridiculous if you ask me and there’s no database of SSNs you can compare it to. Weirdly enough, official government departments straight up lie about things and easily get away with it heh.

Considering there are around 330M citizens right now, I think they ran out already and they’re probably recycling them.

Pixel 9 models below $600 (lemmy.world)
 

If you go to websites like Swappa right now, you can find brand new Google Pixel 9 models for less than $600. Considering Google is trying to sell these phones above $800, I think the market already decided what this series of phones should cost really.

Best stock ticker widget app? (lemmy.world)
 

Hi there,

I’m looking for an app with a good widget that would let me track the stocks I’ve invested in. The main issue I’m having with the system app is that the widget is limited to 6 symbols and if you are using an app to track multiple stock prices on a widget, I would love to know what you use. So far tried a few apps but had no luck. Thanks in advance.

Reddit ads between comments (lemmy.world)
 

Was recently browsing Reddit and noticed a new type of ad which pops up in between comments now. It used to be a few ads in between posts and you would get an ad as the top comment when you click on a post, but now they’re injecting ads in between comments when you are even scrolling comments lol. When do you think this will start having an effect on regular people? Do you think the enshittification will slow down or come to a halt if these companies start losing revenue due to lost customer base?

Any unofficial YouTube clients? (lemmy.world)
 

Hey folks, there are a few apps in the Android world which I use to watch YouTube without ads. Some examples are ReVanced, NewPipe etc. I was wondering if there is a similar app that I can use to fulfill the same needs such as ad blocking, downloading and viewing on iOS. Figured if anyone knew it'd be on Lemmy. Thanks in advance!

Backup filters/blocks? (lemmy.world)
 

Hey everyone,

Been using Boost for a long while now and I'm wondering if the filters/blocks I've made over the past few months persist when I install the app on a new device. I really don't want to see some communities/instances on my feed and does anyone know if this syncs with my user account? Is there a way to backup these filters I've enabled? Appreciate any response.
