I’m not sure if you’re aware of this, but the world is a sphere, Lemmy is a global network of instances, and without location context this comment makes no sense.

I don’t mind “Web apps” that let you install an icon on your phone that basically open up a frameless browser window. Seerr (nee Overseerr) does that and it’s a great experience. 363kB used on my device.
For contrast, the Burger King app is also just a portal to their website, and it uses well over a hundred MB for the same kind of “this is the site” experience.
It doesn’t make sense to me that an app that uses the system provided browser and has little more than a couple of bitmaps and something like an oAuth token needs that kind of space.

private tracker accounts cost money

No, those are ‘semi private’ the ones you can buy into aren’t really ‘private trackers’.
The ones that are near impossible to get into without knowing someone are the ones that are actually private.

Not my job to police your assumptions.

You think I’m advocating for more creeper devices with that statement?

You don’t think that this is about making it actionable…or? Not sure what part of what I wrote you’re disagreeing with.

And existing recording devices with recording indicators can be modified too…this isn’t about covering every single edge case, this is about covering the bulk and making the rest actionable.

This is the guy who accidentally forced the creation of git, by reverse engineering the BitKeeper protocol and getting all the Linux kernel developers’ licenses revoked. Chaotic Good energy.

You can block them…

Yeah. I understand the mechanics of the joke, it just seems to me it’d work a bit better with a less dynamic environment. (Shrug) There’s a reason I don’t write, edit, or produce comics/jokes for a living, and my comments here kinda illustrate it, I think! 😅

Seems silly to me, if it’s a bay, there’s silt flowing into it, time itself could pile 10cm of detritus into the deepest parts and make it more shallow.

Get revanced. Works on stock devices, no root needed.

Interesting. I think I will, thanks!

I’m guessing dummy.bin is a zerofile?

Ugh. MS-DOS 2.0-5.0 inclusive didn’t have a defrag tool. It was introduced with dos 6. While it could be helpful, the fact that we went more than a decade without a defrag tool as part of DOS reinforces just how optional it was/is. The benefit of defragging was that it would be marginally faster to read a file that was stored contiguously instead of in pieces. There was the side benefit as well that it was easier to recover data that wasn’t fragmented.
I’m not aware of any legitimate ‘Problems’ caused by simple fragmentation itself. That tech guy was not just wrong in his behaviour, but also in his technical knowledge. What an ass.

I recently went about setting up an account with an email provider that purely provides mail. Very happy with them so far, the only thing they don’t do that I do use with my free legacy gapps is Google Drive.

Why would you think Ape would not release it as he’s planned? He went many years of development into his first game before publishing.

Considering that git was created by Torvalds to replace Bitkeeper as the version control software for the kernel, yeah. GitHub couldn’t exist earlier.

You do have the option though. I run LMDE7, and installed a 7.0-prempt kernel yesterday because I felt that I was seeing too much stuttering in 3d games. I installed it from my package manager which already had debian Backports turned on.

And they don’t even store original quality
