Does it work with password manager apps like Google keyboard does?
This makes Breezewood is one of the worst case examples of this kind of development. When explaining something it helps to use an extreme example, so I’m not saying people shouldn’t use the photo, but it’s worth keeping the perspective that that image is literally as bad as it gets.
I will say it is the worst place to be a pedestrian that I have personally experienced. Four lanes of constant heavy traffic with no sidewalks or pedestrian crossings.
The photo was taken near 39.998760,-78.242210 if you want to look it up on your map of choice.
That same photo of Breezewood PA that everyone uses.
Yes the US is ugly but that photo is of an extremely unique situation. This is the only place in a 2000-mile-long freeway where there are traffic lights, so of course businesses have taken advantage of that. It’s not a town, it’s basically a truck stop.
Indeed, topograpgically it is not a hole.
I’m honestly shocked that all of them are so high.
Requirements for officers to wear body cameras are meaningless without significant penalties for turning them off when on duty
Anything you post here can/will remain forever on some malicious instance that doesn’t honor deletion requests.
That is true of literally any social media; Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, Facebook, there is nothing preventing someone from screenshotting a post, or a web crawler from archiving it, and then keeping that information after it is deleted from the original source.
It’s called social media, the entire purpose of its existence is for other people to see what you post. This is true for Reddit, Twitter, literally any social media site. I’m not saying, well other social media is just as bad, I’m saying, this is inherently how social media works. If you’re expecting anything you post on any social media to remain private or be completely erased from existence when you delete it, you’re either stupid or hopelessly uniformed.
There are some sites where you can allow only people you’ve friended/followed can see your posts, but that is not the default setting and doesn’t prevent someone you’ve shared your content with from saving and distributing it.
Most social media sites ask at the very least for your phone number and birthday when signing up; Lemmy doesn’t, they don’t have any personal information other than an email address and only if you choose to add that for account recovery.
If this article is news to you, then so might this headline: Warning: when you drive your car from one place to another on public roads you can be seen by other people. Car users should consider this carefully before driving.
This is not built into Lemmy at the moment so the only way to do it is browse using a 3rd party app/website that has added this feature.
The only one I’m aware of at the moment is Connect for Lemmy on Android.
RCS is Rich Communication Services, it’s a newer protocol that is end to end encrypted and adds more features like replying to a specific message, emoji reactions, typing indicators and read receipts if the user has that returned in, and sending more types of files.
Your phone is supposed to check if the other person’s phone supports RCS before sending a message using it, and automatically resend via SMS if an RCS message doesn’t go through, but it doesn’t always work.
In the default Google messages app it is the first option at the top of settings.
Also our technology is built on layers and layers of incredibly specialized knowledge, much of which is held by a relatively small number of people and only stored digitally.
Also pretty much any manmade object that you use is made with very precise tools and of highly processed materials. Even if you had someone with all the knowledge to make the thing from scratch, and all the raw materials to make it and make the tools used to make it, it could take decades to create from scratch.
What about elephants? Or blue whales?
Per the bible humans were created after all the other animals IIRC.
You could try getting an external hard drive/SSD enclosure, putting the hard drive/ssd from your old laptop in it, and plugging it into your new computer to copy the files over. Twice as fast as copying to an external drive and then copying that to the new PC.
