I e been debating switching the graphene for weeks weeks now. But I just know I’m gonna end up installing Google play services on it and completely defeat the whole point of the OS. I’m probably gonna buy the pixel 8 when it comes out so once I have that I’ll put graphene on my current phone and see how I like it.
Ahhhh ok. That does make more sense.
The way I heard it the insurance companies lobbied for seatbelt laws.
Something about if you die in an accident the payout could be larger than if you survived.
Opposite for motorcycles and helmets. On a bike you aren’t eligible for the same death payout as someone in a car so it’s cheaper if you die.
Again this is just how I heard it and I’ve never cared enough to actually look into any of this at all but on the surface and seems plausible.
I mean I hardly use the tap to pay feature on my cards but I use credit cards for everything. Tap to pay is more secure so protects the banks more. Same reason we moved to chips instead of always using mag strips.
Ah then yeah that kinda silly. They should at least have a cashier override for that prompt if they are going to brag about not having to touch it.
Tap to pay isn’t there to stop you from interacting with the terminal though? I mean yeah it was handy during the pandemic to now have to touch things many other people touch but that wasn’t the main idea behind tap to pay.
I saw something about them the other day and thought to myself there is no way this is real because they were offering something like 10tb for like 800 bucks. Lifetime sub. I guess they mostly count on people just not using anywhere near that much storage.
Yeah that’s true. Just feels different when it’s a company and not potentially some random person in their basement.
I guess its really not in the big scheme. Idk just makes me nervous counting on so many people to store and manage my password in a smart way but I don’t know a lot about Lemmy or activitypub so maybe that’s all handles outside of instance admin control.
Remove yes but not transition it to a new instance. But this is one of the reasons I’m using a temp email and unique username and password for each account that isn’t tied anywhere else. More things are easy to gather together knowledge wise compared to say reddit.
I don’t personally use it but pixelfed is an Instagram type of site. It’s part of the fediverse as well.
Idk how I feel about easily migrating accounts from one instance to another or even having my password pass between instances on activypub. If it’s easy to migrate an account then it would be possible for an admin of a rogue instance or even just a rogue admin of a perfectly fine instance to take your account. One thing I learned since joining is these accounts are kind of disposable. Personally I only have 2 on 2 different instances one of which is lemmy.world which is/has grown a whole bunch in the last few weeks. Personally idk how that kind of growth is sustainable on this kind of platform and I’m not shocked they are running into issues. When an instance explodes the way lemmy.world has they need to make an extreme investment into the server side of the instance to keep things running smoothly and that doesn’t stay cheap or easy for very long.
This is actually great to hear. I’ll probably still ending up holding off until I have a spare phone to test with just because wiping my phone and redoing everything just isn’t something I’m up for right now though. Thank you very much for the info.
