What? I get de-censored cosmic horror RP LLM’s telling me I’m off the deep end.

Hahaha, what a quandry. Either hand over ones personal id or not read an article through Google’s content-theft system which deprives the original article of clicks.

This person should feel bad for themselves, but is probably to stupid to understand it.

There’s a whole world out there and you pick NZ?!

I’ve still to find any geo-restriction on AUS and NZ sites from Bahamas and considering how AUS and NZ have acted on average the last five years, I’m not browsing the internet from either even if on an anon VPN.

I do understand their reasons, yet the majority of lemmy.world is shitposting assholes so there’s some flaws somewhere…

Maybe I’m missing something but when she welcomed me to the world of automated licence plate registration, it’s old news to me. These systems have been implemented across the world on local levels for decades, I have no doubt there’s illegal data retrieval from these systems by law enforcement and intel agencies.

What even is “Parallel construction”?

Not to mention GPS built into newer cars, accessing the mobile network where every single cell allows for triangulation. And personal phones. And facial recognition. And door cameraes. And so on.

This battle was lost 20 years ago, regular people are just too demoralized to care if it’s done out in the open now. As always, the best time to adapt was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.

Now organize updating the last 30 years of hardware and software for compatability. Or just keep using the slightly unintuitive thing.

Ok. Everything not supporting the modern standard is now considered outdated.

Phew, I need to log off after all that cerebral exhaustion.

If websites are able to know what language my computer is using, I would expect local apps to have an easier time figuring it out. There’s also the possibility of setting a default folder to save photos in. Right now I can only select DCIM on internal or SD storage.

And regarding standards, I don’t accept the argument that there’s an eternal and objective gold standard. It used to be standard to have 640k RAM. It used to be standard to store images in a DCIM folder for compatibility reasons. Do we need those compatibilities any more? I’d say no.

It’s a DCF thing, not a Windows thing.

Fair enough, interesting wiki read, thanks.

there’s not really a reason to change it.

The fact that people revel in the newfound knowledge about why their photos aren’t stored in the Photos folder in 2025 makes me think otherwise. 😁

I think it’s another Windows hangover, I first saw it as a USB Windows spec way back when MTP was a mode as well. Fucking Windows, fucking with the image storage on my android phones 20 years layer.

Thank you, I browsed this thread to see if anybody said this so I could save time and effort. So now I spend twice the amount of time and effort to thank you.

Fuck it.

Digital Camera Images, maaaaan

Send a ‘smart’ fine. Check mate, shitposters.

I do have this idea that you can save encrypted files to a cloud server and pull it out and unencrypted by a light weight program

Sounds like Cryptomator would work for you.

I don’t see it, care to elaborate?

I enjoyed Swype before it sold out to Microsoft.

I didn’t get in to vibe coding and didn’t start pushing commits of trash code.

I made a feature request for Nextcloud Tasks that was included in the roadmap around five years ago. One day it might even be implemented. They just need to sort out repeating tasks first, and after 8 years how much more time would anybody need?

Any day now.

Edit: I genuinely expect the NC team to implement AI features before they add front-end support (back-end has supported reoccuring tasks for years).

Depends on what you mean by level of support. If you mean hardware, it will never get USB3 or display out. This will make it less attractive as a linux phone, which means it will get less support from the tinkerers.

If you mean community support, after reading a few topics on the Fairphone forums, probably never. To put it in perspective, I know I wouldn’t accept a hypothetical free FP5 to FP6 upgrade.
