Privacy@lemmy.ml•What's your favorite launcher for Android-based OS that values privacy?English
1·17 days agoYeah i saw it’s releasing some updates. But it’s the old version that lacks quite a few features compared to v2. And v2 is not open source.
But I thought v1 was dead, good to see active development on it.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Disabling middle click paste by default makes sense for distros aimed at new users.English
5·22 days agoMy mom kept accidently pressing the mouse button, I could never figure it out why, when I was watching I guess shed be conscious and use it properly, but complain later that things get pasted randomly. After I disabled middle click, she hasn’t complained.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•Agriculture uses 98% of humanity's land usageEnglish
8·1 month agoIt’s close, I worked on a paper pretty much doing exactly this a while back and we had included all of this, metal and oil extraction, all roads, railways, even golf courses on top of your housing. We were at 1.2% of world’s land usage. So I’m sure whatever they got is sensible.
Logging might be missing, but in our data logging was part of forests. So it ties in that regard.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•Agriculture uses 98% of humanity's land usageEnglish
3·1 month agoI believe It’s close, I worked on a paper about a decade ago, and our numbers were not too dissimilar, actually it’s ridiculous how similar they are. We went with the most extensive data hunt on land usage. We had non-arable land at 14.7%, which rounded up to 15% in our summary. We got multiple sources for global precipitation levels. We got registries from US, Russia, China, India, Brazil, Canada, Australia, etc totalling 65 countries, we extrapolated the rest, our extrapolation was actually 70% of the paper. We back tallied registry numbers with global weather data.

Technology@beehaw.org•India is ordering Apple and Android phone makers to preinstall a state-owned appEnglish
3·2 months agoFrom my dealings with Indian govt, more likely they’ll abandon it at some point. But yes trusting a government is always a difficult task.

Technology@beehaw.org•India is ordering Apple and Android phone makers to preinstall a state-owned appEnglish
7·2 months agoWhat governments should be requiring is, making bootloader unlockable and making firmware for all antennas, camera and buttons public. Realistically I think it’s too much to hope from any government.
That being said this Sanchar Sarthi app doesn’t look so bad at a glance. Looks like a okay ish attempt at giving population tools to fight identity theft and phishing/scamming with some questionable success. Also the app supposedly doesn’t collect any data.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why isn't it considered vegan to harvest animals who die naturally?English
51·2 months agoI mean defining new religion is always tricky, Hinduism is such a large collection of beliefs, if you go too wide Jainism and Buddhism and Sikhism would unfold into Hinduism and if you go too narrow Hinduism is at best group of 12-13 separate religion.
The deeper you look the more confusing it is, while Jain texts acknowledge certain “Hindu” deities like Indra, other parts of universe building are entirely different, and if they are different where did Indra come from?
Anyway I like the distinction of dharmic religions and then defining sects such as Jain, Vaishnav, shaiva, Buddhism etc etc. They all have the concept of Dharma, Karma and Moksha. So they are all kind of interoperable in terms of lifestyle. There are sects of Hinduism that are more different than mainstream to the point it’d be hard to call them Hindu, but they self identify as Hindu, while there are sects of buddishm that are so similar to Hinduism, it’s unclear why they consider themselves a separate religion. I think at the end the distinctions between dharmic religion are always because of some geopolitical power game.
Yeah but if you ask a jain they’d say they’re not Hindu. So take it for it means.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•Valve says "the Steam Machine is equal or better than 70% of what people have at home," but I feel like that's missing the pointEnglish
61·2 months agoWe don’t know the price, but I’m interested, weather I buy or not, will depend on the price.
As Linus (inferior) of LTT said, most products are not bad products, just bad price.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•I wish the Steam Controller used AA batteriesEnglish
9·2 months agoYeah the issue is easily replaceable standardized sized battery, if li-ion started doing that, I’d be all in Li-ion band wagon for handheld consumer electronics, till that point I must agree with OP and i would keep demanding Aa batteries and use my niMH cells

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead?English
9·3 months agoSorry OP, you got downvoted in so many comments, some of which I thought was undeserved, but some of it is deserved. You asked a question, but came off as wanting to prove everyone else who doesn’t listen to music is crazy. Everyone is different, you do you. I think it’s very important to train brain to be content without any stimulation and therefore, I think, I play music in my brain, I plan rest of my day or next day, and most of all I introspect when I’m walking around.
And my life isn’t even complicated and I find tons of things to Introspect, so hard for me to imagine people get bored with introspection, but you do you. If boredom is such a massive problem for you because of ADHD, perhaps carry a power bank.

Unfortunately, very true.
