I used to use Total launcher to make the most convoluted home screen possible that literally nobody but me knew how to use. Like several circles you swiped on in different directions to open folders, absolutely no labels, etc. Now I just use the stock pixel one lol
I think recommendation algorithms and advertising are separate things, however think with defaults and when it comes to what specific data is collected, where do you draw the line? Absolutely no recommendations at all based on an algorithm? Would you say using your 'like' history to recommend you more videos is okay? What about watch history, or save history?
Same question can also be asked about where you draw the line on advertising. Just say Youtube showed ads purely based on your video like history, would that be creepy?
I think we can all draw the line at location history, how long you linger on a post, etc. I'd like to know your thoughts on where you'd draw the line for both advertising and content recommendations. (This is two questions)
Sorry that this post is horribly formatted. I'm tired, acoustic and had a shower thought 😝
Why would we need a fediverse alternative 😂 unless you want to go around editing wikis with your mastodon account, wikis are basically just static webpages. It’s called HTML 😂
Mfw you want to check some quick Minecraft details and you get a pop up then half your screen covered with one video. Thank heavens that they created minecraft.wiki as a wiki is basically essential for playing that game.
Also for some reason you cannot access app data like you used to. Now if you want to export a Minecraft world you have to connect your phone to a computer.
a Google spokesperson confirmed that yes, benchmark apps were blocked on Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro ahead of the public launch. The aim behind this was to “avoid” leaks, and it was Google’s intention to unblock these apps prior to general availability of its new devices.
The Switch has a SNES emulator as well
