Holy shit, that was unexpected.

“Basically nothing”
Felt mostly like a waste of time.

Just guessing what the links may have been…

Possibly my post on lemmy.world, removed due to breaking rule 2, “Only tech related news or articles”

I’ll copy paste my comment from there:

In the reply to Patreon they mentioned having some automated and manual ways of removing CSAM, plus “closely working with NCMEC”, but I have no idea what that means.
And these statistics of resolved reports: https://www.missingkids.org/content/dam/missingkids/pdfs/cybertiplinedata2024/2024-notifications-by-ncmec-resulting-content-removal.pdf

Total number of reports of 128 resolved on average in 1.91 days. Less than half the time spent by Amazon, Google and Microsoft (for Bing).

The other link might have been to this comment:

Hard to tell, guesstimate €1,500.

I really only download music, mostly individual songs. I use sites like himovies.to for movies, and then if I like something enough, I buy a DVD, if available.
And some few “mod apks”, which yes, are a bit shady. I don’t know how to do that myself, so I just run them through VirusTotal and hope for the best if it’s all green (false negatives). Stuff like KineMaster because I am procrastinating to learn using Kdenlive, MLUSB Mounter and some games.

I haven’t purchased any media or software (excl. donations) that doesn’t come on a physical medium.

I even put a case on a rugged phone. It does look a bit ridiculous.
I have one older phone that feels really nice without case, but I too put it in one, a wallet case, because it’s a secondary device, and thus is often in worse places. Possibly even a pocket with keys.

I’ve used phones without cases before, and never broke one. However, I did get to find out that one of them, new enough to have USB-C, had plastic camera lenses. Archos 55DC, to shame it.

While at it, they could also add option to decrease minimum volume. Often it’s too loud, at least for me. One dumb phone I planned to use as MP3 player has this same issue.

Actually, I feel like it’s most phones. Thankfully the music app I use has equalizer to tune it down.
Hell, even many separate music players. Only stuff with analog volume control is basically always OK.

Set to “Enable” to enable the feature.

My GP has cabinet with patient information.

The drawers are years, and then inside it narrows down to months. Probably the answer.

The person was rather talking about locally significant understanding of time like “I have to wake up at 4AM for fucks sake.”, which has the same meaning anywhere at any time.

Because it rather tells time… sun-wise, if that explanation makes sense. If you want something worldwide for some large event, you simply mention the timezone.

What we should eliminate is summer and winter time.

Even that is a completely different thing.

So I just checked random packaging from sour gummy candies. 65.1% sugar. Damn. So 3kg would be 1,953g of sugar.

You know, I just thought, “I could do that”, but probably nuh-uh. That’s like 2 months of recommended max. added sugar intake.

Although, recommended is just that, recommended. Those 25 - 36g are like one can of coke. Well, actually for women that can of coke exceeds recommendations already.

use a cheap $5/mo VPS that exists purely as your gateway host

Now, why so expensive?

“Happy Cola”? Say no more.

(Yeah, yeah, I get it, a bit off-topic)

One of the rules we laid down was to plug your phone in outside your room before you go to bed.

Sorry, just some small note. Charging to 100% daily significantly shortens the battery lifespan. Staying between 20 - 80% is generally recommended.
But to be honest, if I still had a phone with user replaceable battery I’d just 100% it too. I mean, the battery for my Galaxy Ace is like €6.

Anyway, I’ve got some USB tester from AliExpress that also has a time limit. I can usually nail that near 80%. There’s also some physical Bluetooth charge limiters, though that of course requires their app.

Irrelevant if your phone has built-in charge limiter.

But yeah, anyway, how you did it sounds fine.

Edit: Although theoretically, it probably could be done without an app. Bluetooth can share battery charge info.

Well, realistically, things have changed. Without social media you get quite left out. Easily forgotten even.

But Mastodon isn’t Matrix. It’s not just a chat server, but regular social media.

Who downvoted you?

Anyway, if you have directory-based music organization, Navidrome won’t take that, sadly. However, it will take m3u playlists.

So I can just ls playlistdir/* > Playlist.m3u and get that directory as a playlist. Simple, lazy solution.
Oh, you can also add internet radios to Navidrome.

And one cool trick, which is also pretty good to test out Navidrome without effort, in Termux it is already in the repos, so you can just effort-free apt install navidrome, run it and play around.

On Android you can disable app notifications. Some apps also allow it per group/person.
