  • I run stock android with a DNS which allows me to block network connection for any and all services, I find this is the best way. You can block almost everything while still allowing functionality of things you need

    What is in Area 51?

    What are the most likely theories for what is inside Area 51. No crazy conspiracy theories, actual grounded theories that are probable or likely.

    I love Language Models! (ChatGPT & Gemini)

    Not an advertisement I swear, but I honestly love language models, I specifically use Chat GPT and Gemini ALL the time.

    I'm someone who loves research and learning. I always have questions on all sorts of things. Before GPT I would be googling things for hours each day, visiting forums, watching YouTube videos, etc.

    Now with GPT I can ask so many questions on things I am curious about, and even ask follow up questions or ask for more in depth explanations.

    I think I am also a bit ADHD and so my brain is always jumping around different topics which makes me curious on specific things. My latest is insects, specifically wasps.

    I absolutely hate bugs, and wasps are the worst. But I am now learning more and more how important a lot of bugs actually are to the ecosystem. It's really a great way to learn and engage with topics when you can ask follow up questions or ask for more details on specific aspects.

    TLDR: GPT has replaced 90% of my research that Google used to be.

    Should I glue my SIM tray shut?

    I know it's an odd question, but where I live phones get stolen often. My phone doesn't have the option for an eSim, which is a problem because 90% of the time when a thief steals a phone they take out the SIM card immediately, meaning I wouldn't be able to remotely lock or wipe my phone.

    Should I consider glueing the SIM tray shut? Or are there alternative less permanent measures I can take to keep my device secure?

    Question: 3rd Party App Request

    As per title, I'd like to know if there are any third party apps worth it still?

    I'd ideally like a web app that scrapes the shit out of Reddit causing more harm than good. Anything like that available? (Even if it's a website that scrapes I'll be happy)

    okay, I'll be the first to post

    So I'm curious with the whole Ledger seed backup controversy, are Ledger devices actually safe? Should I continue to use my Ledger? I don't have much so I'm not too concerned, but I'd like to still sleep peacefully at night regardless.

    My App Icon submission

    I don't have any software on my phone to round corners so please excuse the square.

    The fediverse is a vast and beautiful place, just like our universe. I think our app icon should go deeper and represent more than just a simple spaceship or a mouse.

    What is gorbitaska?

    I read a post about it but the post was deleted and I can't find anything on google. What I gathered from the post before deletion was its some kind of religious thing but it scares most people?

    What action are we taking to protect against spam?

    As the title says, lemm.ee is defederating instances that are allowing thousands of spam bots to be created on them. Will we be taking similar action? What is the game plan here?

    What will happen to Brave browser after the manifest change?

    I've read some things online about it all but I'm not a total IT boff. Is it really true that Brave browser won't be able to block ads once the changes are made next year?

    Ps. I use Firefox with uBlock but my SO and most of my clients absolutely love Brave

    Looking for MotorSports recordings

    Hello world, I'm looking for motorsport reruns or recordings, specifically F1 and MotoGP. I'd like to watch the entire race but not live, maybe 2 or 3 days after.

    Are there any resources like this?

    Unhappy with Lemmy

    I'm really not happy with Lemmy so far. Its a great community and a cool concept, but the amount of bugs I am experiencing is really starting to put me off.

    The site constantly updates / glitches, when I try click on something it moves just before I click so I end up clicking on something else. If I open a post, as soon as I go back the entire home feed is different and my sorting preferences have been reset.

    As someone coming from the refinement from Apollo this really is offputting and makes me want to use Lemmy even less.

    The people here are great, the federation is cool and I like how decentralized it is, but I think I'm going to log off now and I don't expect to be back anytime soon.

    Ps. A functioning app I can download directly from the app store would be great. I'm not interested in progressive web apps or testflight betas, I want something that just works and is well refined.

    Edit: I understand its early days, I'm not faulting devs for not being able to keep up, all I

    soap2day is dead!

    Not sure when the site went down, but I only noticed now. I tried to do my research to get more information but with the migration from reddit to lemmy all my usual sources are scattered.

    Does anyone else have any more details on this?
