As if those drug literacy courses helped anyone. We were taught about it aged 12 or something, when nobody really had a clue what drugs are. Around the age where it matters, it was all but forgotten.

I’d assume the law would include federated social media. And while that wouldn’t prevent underage Australians to sign up with instances hosted elsewhere, it will impose restrictions on local ones, thus hurting the federation effort.

Had exactly the same thought. And it was so peaceful after blocking lemmygrad and .ml, I almost got used to it.

Think I need to block their instance as well.

Oh nice, that’s something.

That’s still only 3 simultaneously if I saw that right. My old Lenovo laptop had 3 USB-A 2.0 ports, 2 x USB-A 3.0, RJ45 and HDMI. That was gold. Everything that comes now is a bloody chore.

It really is for me. Those things stick out way too far and might work alright in stationary mode, but while on the go they break easily (speaking from experience) and slip out all the time.

It really is a big deal for me, they stick out too far and are making the whole setup flimsy.

I agree with USB-C, but there are still a million USB-A devices I need to use, and I can’t be bothered to buy adapters for all of them. And a USB hub is annoying.

Plus, having 1-2 USB-C ports only is never gonna be enough. If they are serious about it, why not have 5?

Most average users consider Microsoft a trusted source, that’s the root cause of a whole lot of crap.

That’s more than 3% of the user base. 0.5% is considered sufficient for statistical relevance.

The ones with EOL 2015, fair play. But May 2024 isn’t all that long ago.

Edit: Looks like those were launched in early 2015. I guess requesting users to update devices after 8+ years might not be too far fetched.

Can highly recommend ASUS, most of their models can be flashed with custom firmware that is supported beyond EOL. And their EOL cycle is also pretty long.

It’s the same crap as Twitter, I don’t get why people ever used it in the first place.

I refuse to use that piece of crap. We have to use MS at work and they gave us free 10 TB with our volume license, and the only thing on it are documents saved by accident because it set itself up as default save as location on some clients without being asked for. Utter garbage.

Use the browser version in Edge. That and outlook are the only two things I’m using that browser for, and it works great. The standalone software is an utter disaster.

That was the first instance out there, so amany early adopter communities are hosted there. I’ve blocked a handful problematic users and all the communist stuff and other topics I don’t agree with or care about, but by and large it’s alright.

Hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml are instances I’ve blocked altogether.

You can add the function easily using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.llamalab.automate, no root needed.

I’ve added this function manually using Automate (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.llamalab.automate).

You can trigger it to reboot on inactivity using some advanced parameters, but I’ve simply set it up to reboot at 3.30 AM every day, that way it’s also clearing the cache.

This is how it looks like - the 5 min wait timer is to prevent a reboot loop if the phone is still booted up at 3.30 again.

Don’t they auto update the OS when connected to a charger? But even then, that would have triggered a reboot already.

Nextcloud is federated? First time I hear about that.

For me it’s Lemmy, without a doubt. Never used Twitter, tried mastodon to see what it’s all about, didn’t like it.

Matrix seems decent, but nobody I know uses it, and finding useful groups is painful, especially on other instances (servers, whatever they call them).
