On the contrary, I've had a USB cable last multiple phones before. I think the trick is to avoid using it when it's plugged in as much as possible. Another common pitfall is that microfiber (pocket lint) can build up in the charging port over months and years, resulting in a poor connection. You can usually remove this by turning the phone off and using the tip of a wooden toothpick to gently scrape out the lint.
I definitely think they should include a cable in the box though.
that "virtual keyboard" sounds awful, glad the flaw was caught quickly lmao I would just use a regular keyboard while in the headset, but I suppose that doesn't work for most people who need to look at it to type.
How did you take away "they were asking about Mastodon" when the question mentioned bluesky first? OP was asking for a comparison of the two, which your link does not provide, putting your answer somewhere between unhelpful and irrelevant.
You keep arguing with people pointing this out as if your response was a complete answer... It seems like you cherry picked the middle of their question and ignored the rest. The more-generous interpretation of this scenario is that your reading comprehension sucks. That's my point.
And if you're really feeling so insulted by my pointing that out,
Dude, grow up.
edit: and it would have taken such a small additional effort to maybe clarify that you were only addressing part of the question instead of dropping a link with no explanation. You could've prevented a lot of confusion by being a little less lazy in your original reply.
One more great reason not to use Apple phones.
I dunno about iOS, but the reviews of the Garmin Connect app on the Play Store are... very consistently negative over the last handful of months. There was apparently a significant redesign that made a lot of information less accessible. I was thinking about getting one of their cheaper fitness trackers, but I'm less sure about that after seeing those reviews.
Oh okay, if it's not a pun then it is a typo. I wasn't referring to the British spelling, the "e" should be an "a": "Deredicalisation"
Is "Deredicalisation" intended? I'm not sure if it's a bit of a play on words or if it's a typo.
I have to disagree. It should not be a consequential or self-conscious act if you aren't using your real identity. (If you are, the expectation that you should be very careful with how you participate remains unchanged. This isn't LinkedIn and it shouldn't be trying to be.)
Commenters on the GitHub issue have put it better than I can:
An average user absolutely benefits from being able to see who voted on a post or comment and what their vote was. A person noticing that someone is actively down voting their content in a deliberate way empowers the user to have it dealt with. Mods might not [cue in to] that kind of targeted harassment.
Your vote isn't private in either case regardless. At most you need to know someone's birthday, first name, and last name to find someone's voting record in America (might depend state by state). Someone willing to set up a Lemmy instance to see your votes is also capable of then setting up bots to specifically target you with down votes, which is the more egregious of the two actions.
People who use the fediverse need to get used to the fact that things are not private here, that's the point of interoperability, trying to convince them that they have fake privacy is just going to make them feel self entitled and violated when they learn that nothing here is really private, which shouldn't really be expected as it is a public and decentralized forum.
I don't think users are done any favours by pretending they are private as bad actors can already do whatever odious crap they want to and it leads people into a false sense of security. For example someone liking controversial content on an account which can be traced to an identity they may need to keep separate is already taking a massive risk under a false assumption of privacy.
From the article:
So they were working backwards to determine the inputs based off of the observed eye motion.
I have a much less modern VR headset and you can definitely still type on a regular keyboard while you're wearing it. You can't see the keyboard though, so you need to be skilled enough to touch type. I can't find any reliable-looking statistics on it with a quick search, but it seems like that is not a very common skill
