Question: I bought my phone unlocked several years ago. I have AT&T. But apparently, because I didn’t buy it from AT&T, my visual voicemail refuses to work

I’ve tried and given up several times to fix it, and it’s not a huge deal; I just miss being able to check my voicemail without calling it.

Do you happen to know anything about this? Every “fix” I’ve found has failed so far

That’s freaking cool, I never knew that. Appreciate the link

Check out “slow scan tv” if you haven’t already. I have my amateur license and was surprised to learn all of the ways in which radio waves can be utilized

I thought Chrome was planning to oust ad blockers in 2024. Idk if that’s true though, maybe I’m mis-remembering.

I’ve kinda stuck with Firefox for many years now because I never saw any reason not too. I honestly hardly ever used extensions though (except ad blockers), so maybe there’s something I don’t understand about any downfalls of Firefox. I just don’t see any, especially nowadays. It just works for me, so I never fully switched.

I’ve tried other browsers, but I just come back to Firefox ever time. It’s a comfort at this point

That’s a fact!

Idk, I haven’t used Connect. I used Jerboa, Liftoff, and then Wefwef. I’ve been sticking with Wefwef now because it seems to work well, but I still switch to Liftoff if I’m experiencing some technical issues and want to see if it’s the app or the servers.

Based 🔥🔥🔥

Well… damn. I’m mid-30’s; Tech is (definitely) kind of a hobby of mine; and I use Linux for learning, experimenting, and… uhh, tech hobby stuff lol. I can solder a little, and sometimes it actually works!

Maybe it’s because that cohort is the fastest to adopt. We grew up with a rapidly changing internet, we’re kinda used to navigating the glitches/unfamiliarity, and it’s just more familiar (to us) in a “back-to-basics” way. I feel like I’ve entered a nostalgic “place” that has become better since I last visited.

With Memmy for ios going full-live, the multitude of 3rd party apps at full throttle, and Facebook ready with “Threads” - this just seems like the first wave of what could be a hell of a storm. The content will increase and diversify, that’s inevitable now.

The question is: do people want to be responsible for maintaining a user-controlled platform? Or would they prefer an operator help to connect us? We’ll see, but I guarantee there will be some fresh af memes coming through here in the mean time, so no worries

Hell, while you’re here… throw some of those old ass memes (or almost any pic you’ve got saved on your phone) onto !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone

Be the change you want to see and shit

Or don’t, it’s not like anyone can really judge you when you’re anonymous… but you’ll know. Months from now, when you’re lying in bed, unable to sleep because you were complicit in the apathy; you’ll wonder if it could have been different. You’ll try to bury the intrusive thoughts and “what ifs”, but you’ll always wonder…

“Could it have actually worked? Might we have taken claim to a piece of independence in the future of world communications?!”

… and the thought slips away, as you mainline another 40 min of memes directly into you’re neurotransmitter reservoir, for sustenance and maintenence
