Who says the ISP isn't blocking ports via a firewall?

I thought it was common practice for ISPs to block certain ports for residential connections?

Like most people in the western world (and indeed likely in most of the world) do.

I'm going to have to see a source for this claim.

I know the person has merit in their argument when they go on the personal attack. 👍

Eradicating personal vehicles is not feasible.

Not owning a personal vehicle is only okay if you live in the heart of a city and don't go outside of that little bubble. All other scenarios massively benefit from a personal vehicle; even going from one side of a city to another.

I read many MBs on Usenet everyday 😉

How strange. You would think the star rating would always show regardless of regional settings and you would think reviews are also shown but with a translate button next to each review given that's not the same as what's set in your regional settings - the same as on Google Maps.

The Play store link I provided doesn't show a rating to you?

Why do you believe I haven't found the correct one?

Edit: I'm looking at the Play store since F-Droid doesn't have ratings or feedback. I look for apps on the Play store, find something interesting, and then look for the F-Droid version.

I don't see the hate for storing data in a sqlite database. It's still your data, you get to do with it as you please, and I've yet to see the data encrypted (let's not give anyone any silly ideas here). You want to see your data outside of the program, just download any sqlite viewer. If you don't mind CLI, then the tools provided by sqlite are more than good enough and are only a few MB in size.

Everyone I've tried from the Play store feels too basic compared to Nova or their rating is too low because of bugs.

Edit: in hindsight it looks like I'm a paid shill for Nova. This isn't the case at all. I've been looking at launchers for the past few weeks as I recently realised I've had the same set up style for over a decade. I don't want to be the person stuck in the past doing stuff the slower and archaic ways when there are newer and better ways of doing things. I currently have over 20 launchers installed on my phone and I've been slowly trying some.

It currently has a rating of 4.1. It looks like it has some bugs and some cause it to crash.

It currently has a rating of 3.7. It looks like it has a lot of bugs.

It currently has a rating of 3.6. It looks like it has issues and lacks customisation.

My phone is 3 years old and is still going strong. The battery feels the same to me as the day I bought it, but I also don't consume a full battery in a day.

Samsung has had the auto reboot feature for a long time too.

Samsung - auto-restart

Normal people don't want to touch the terminal at all.

I think the internet is broken in this regard. Adverts and all of the tracking is horrific. Pay walling a website for $5-10 a month is not appealing for those who only want to read a couple of articles a month. But, without monetization good content from people who are good at their job will disappear.

Don't get me wrong, I'm team adblock everything but I am willing to pay if there is a new sensible solution to the problem figured out.

Let's say OpenAI did actually use Scarlett Johansson's voice. Who owns the audio that OpenAI used? Scarlett Johansson herself or the movie company that used the audio in their movie(s)? This might be a case of Scarlett Johansson vs the movie company, not Scarlett Johansson vs OpenAI, as OpenAI could have paid for them.

Because of an impersonator?

It really whips the llama's ass

Lemmy people are the same people as Reddit people. I think both communities have similar personalities. I've been banned from multiple sub Reddits because I disagree with a mod. Every time I've been on topic and respectful, yet I've been told to shut up because they disagreed and then shortly later banned. I now recognise the authoritarian tone these mods give to being banned soon.
