Well as they say, you can put lipstick on a pig...
I think they meant the conjugations, like "cebula, cebuli, cebulą, cebulę, cebulami" etc..
But the part about no word for job is just plain stupid, cause we also have: praca, zatrudnienie, robota, harówa, zapierdol... That's already five.
Why do I need to sell my data? Cant I just have ads?
If you watch the whole video he does it more "for real" later on, plugging the casing into a power source to simulate a battery discharging.. Plus I've had some of these PowerCheck batteries, and they were not old, it was like... 2017? So maybe they rebooted it for a short time at some point?? Anywho, if you pressed really hard it did work I think, but also I think I was doing it wrong for a long time as well lol
It did, see Technology Connections' latest video on it, he explains fully how it worked. Quite clever tbh.
I'd be surprised if it was just the business department...
Yeah it would. But as I said elsewhere, this is probably enough to be 'too much effort' for the majority of users, and definitely a lot more effort than it should be. I already know several people who habitually click accept all on cookie banners, and I know I have caught myself doing that a couple times too...
Hm... Was gonna try Arkenfox one of these days tbh.
There's gotta be a company address somewhere haha
Hey, my phone has 12Gb of RAM for a reason, and bookmarks are scawy...
Hm yeah perhaps. I clicked away too fast to try it 😅
Well, the fact that when there are ads, there's always like 20 of them is another issue... But yeah, I don't even care about ads but as I see it I should have a right to privacy without having to pay for it.
True, but shouldn't I be able to use it if I want to without having to choose between paying money or being spied on?
The content of a website isn't an extension of your property.
No, but it is my property which is to be used to store files that this company has put there, just so they can track me across the web to sell me more crappy shit I do not need.
So exactly how should content (regardless of how trashy it is) be funded?
With ads, but either be good and use ads that arent spyware, or let me choose to opt out of the tracky ones and use general ads instead.
Meanwhile, not visiting websites that don't meet your vision for how funding content should be done seems like a perfectly simple and reasonable approach to have for this problem.
Yup, hence why I noped outta there as soon as I saw that popup cause fuuuck that...
Yeah exactly!
Oh haha, didn't realise that pun was intended... But yeah thats right :)
Ooh you can share settings like this? Whoa...
Yeah... That's what I fear is that once one has started doing it, others will follow.
So now I have to PAY you to NOT store files on my device that I don't want?
Was trying to read a news story and... What fresh shitfuckery is this? Why do I now have to pay money to a company just for the privilege of not being spied upon and not getting your cookies that I don't want or need? How is this even legal?
RE: "Why are you even reading that shitrag?" -- I clicked on a link someone posted in another sublemmit, didn't realise it was the Sun till after. I do not read the Sun on the regular, chill. My point stands regardless that this is extremely shitty and should probably not be allowed.

This post will be updated regularly.
What is a 'lemmaroo'? How do I participate?
'Lemmaroo' is a portmanteau of 'Lemmy' and 'switcharoo'. The latter word is the name that was given to a long-standing tradition, originating from Reddit, wherein users try to form a long chain of linked comments across posts in various communities wherein a play on words has been made based on someone's unintentional ambiguity.
If you still use reddit, r/switcharoo explains it perfectly, the key takeaway being:
>A switcharoo occurs when a witty [lemmy user] feigns ignorance about which of two subjects in a post (typically an image) is more comment-worthy. > > These 'roos are linked in a chain; this [community] keeps track of the most recent link.
If not, here's a summary of the key rules:
Rules of the game:
- Someone makes a comment which has some unintended ambiguity, and another replies with a joke based on the ambiguity.
- You then reply with “Ah, the old switcharoo” (or {thing}aroo), and include a link to the most recent switcharoo comment, which is the latest post in this community.
- Then, post a link to your comment here to grow the chain. Please follow the convention of:
"Switcharoo: Thing A vs. Thing B"
when titling your post. You may want the link to point to a comment one or two levels above your switcharoo so readers have enough context to get the joke. - As per the tradition, others can then reply to your Lemmaroo comment with "Hold my {subject of the ambiguity}, I'm going in!", and then "Hello future people!".
Example comment thread:
User 1: "I can't get my kids to eat their vegetables" (introduces the subjects - the kids and the vegetables) User 2: "You should eat them then" (ambiguity - the kids or the vegetables?) User 3: "Are you telling OP to eat their kids?!" (follow-up) User 4/YOU: "Ah, the old [switcharoo](link to latest post here)" (this is the roo comment) User 5: "Hold my kids, I'm going in!" User 6: "Hello future people!"
Community rules:
- Don't spam and be nice
- Make sure it's not the same user making the set-up and the punchline, and ensure both subjects involved in the switcharoo have been correctly introduced
- Title your posts as per the convention of:
"Switcharoo: Thing A vs. Thing B"
- Always link to the latest post so the chain doesn't branch out
- Mods have ultimate say over what is or isn't a roo
- Only link posts please
(S22U Exynos, UK) What is this?
I'm being forced into this update, and there's no changelog or info on what's being updated... Just a vague "system configuration update"... What is this?

Misaligned/mis-sized menubar headings
Also, in "enable markdown" in settings - editing is spelled with one "t". Also also, blocked instances disappear from the list when I tap "save settings". Please fix.
