$70 is typical for that, except it's 30GB of data for the month before they reduce you to around 25kB/s.

It's one of those "it depends" things. I've been working on a pretty data-dense webapp and as time goes on we've been shaving bits of padding off and instead relying on elevation and borders to signify the UI hierarchy of the app.

For normie apps where there's hardly anything to present, I think all the spacing helps people not get overwhelmed as much.

Seems like the actual issue was that the law in question would let him be convicted even if he wasn't doing these things and just being a nuisance. It's not that he's innocent, it's that the law used is itself illegal.

There's a PR open (https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/214) but I'm assuming Ernest has a million other things going on right now too.

Yeah, they're not pushing it because it matches some far-right authoritarian ideology Meta itself has, they're pushing it because conservatives taunting libs who fall for it and try to talk reason into conservatives drives tons of engagement.

about the Lemmy devs

I mean, the devs haven't made it a secret about how they fully believe Chinese nationalist propaganda.

Not that it really matters though, since if any issues did come up, Lemmy itself would be forked with new devs "in charge" even if the original devs still continued most of the work. The lemmy.ml instance itself would be a different issue, though.

This is how they are

I don't really like it when people think this. Every group of humans has people that would do this given the chance. Otherwise I agree, that Russian leadership really doesn't care what their soldiers are doing, so the soldiers do what they want with zero accountability or fear of retaliation.

FPS’s seemed boring, online games couldn’t keep my attention long enough to get through a match, and eventually I’d just leave a game on the pause menu while I messed around mindlessly on my phone.

My partner does this.

One, you might have ADHD. I can't say, but you could look into it.

Secondly, you need to have some time to let your brain rest. When you bounce between tasks like that, you're never actually not doing something. People think of doomscrolling as taking a break, but really you're replacing your intended task with another task and there isn't a time where you do no task.

I see a lot of people talking about specific parts of 5G but honestly most of them are optional and only some of them will be active at once.

"Regular" 5G uses the same frequencies as 2G, 3G, etc. The carriers will be moving more frequency ranges of older Gs to 5G as time goes on.

In general, we can send more data at once because we have better math for sending data. There's not really an ELI5 that can explain that part besides more math.

Another part is there's also more math so that the phones can take turns talking better or split up frequencies better, so they don't have to re-transmit as much.

If you're in hyper-crowded areas, they made a new frequency range that cannot go through walls, but is way faster than the regular ones that we've been using. It's only good for like sports stadiums and stuff, and you almost never use this. It's called mmwave (millimeter-wave) and you can safely ignore any marketing around it. Not many phones support it yet because it's useless 99% of the time.

I'd also imagine at least part of it is the same as how normal people seem to think ADHD people with amphetamine prescriptions are just constantly high.

They don't realize that whatever good feelings they're getting from taking 100mg of amphetamines at once don't apply at all to people chronically on small extended doses.

It still defends against one failure mode (the website gets hacked but you're ok) but yeah, obviously if you get hacked and the hacker knows how to get your vault out then you're 100% screwed.

My suggestion is always hardware 2FA, even though it's not as mature as the other systems. Personally I have two Yubikeys (in case one breaks/gets lost) but it does mean that I need to add TOTPs to both of them each time I add a new 2FA.

Lol what. We have machines and automation now. We can just make manufacturing equipment "suffer" while the humans "get ahead".

The zero-sum worldview has been dead since the industrial revolution. Any widespread suffering at this point is the fault of humans.

Edit: unless you're trying to say something else?
