It Feels Almost Like Android… But It Isn’t

So what is it?

Lmao, the part about the control center feeling like from a bootleg phone made my day. I felt like something was off the whole time but couldn’t tell what was bothering me

Yeah and I can’t get my head around why it won’t be available here in the EU. This is so fucking stupid! Like how is the DMA or any other legislation supposed to prevent them from implementing iPhone mirroring? They literally offer every other continuity-related feature over here. This is just Apple being upset they’re actually being regulated in the EU.

I’d return a non-zero value so they know it’s their fault ^^

In my personal opinion: Yes. Wine is great and all, but in the end it’s an emulation layer that - in the worst case - requires a lot of tweaking. I personally wouldn’t want to spend that time so a VM sounds like a good option. But again, depending on the context (e.g. limited hardware resources or the amount of time available) you might be totally fine with Wine.

Do you still remember the name of the Johto rom hack made in the Gen 3 engine? I’d love to give it a try!

Shit gets weird when the guy in 418 opens and claims to be a tea pot…

I’m able to speak German (native speaker) and English (fluent).

Also, as a German speaker, I’d like to correct the question in the post:

Formal would be “Welche Sprachen sprechen Sie?”.

More fitting for a casual environment (such as Lemmy) would be “Welche Sprachen sprecht Ihr?” though :)

This is, because in German there are formal and informal ways of addressing people, both with their distinctive pronouns. Usually, when talking to people you don’t know personally, you’ll address them formally and then, when offered to, switch to the informal style once you know them. Online or among the younger generation it is much more common to just use the informal case though.

Its mentioned in the article. Just posting you got a proxy and giving the address away via DM already decreases the chance of getting blocked a lot.

Thanks for the tip!

Im using Firefox/a fork of it - please note that many of the below mentioned extensions either only exist for Firefox or don’t work well with Chromium browsers due to manifest V3.

• UBlock Origin
• I still don’t care about cookies
• CanvasBlocker
• Multi account containers
• Dark Reader
• FlagFox
• (Bitwarden)

If this happens I’ll consider switching back to a Linux machine next time a hardware upgrade is due.

Hope there are some rapid developments in non-Apple ARM Chips by then :')

I think you misunderstood my comment. A prepaid Mastercard can be bought at many gas stations or supermarkets and allows you to pay online at places that only accept credit cards without actually having one.

Hetzner covers all of the above except the Monero payment option. Would a prepaid Mastercard do the job for you? I think you can buy them in cash without identification.

Fühle mich nach jedem Auslandsaufenthalt so, als wäre ich 20 Jahre in die Zukunft gereist lol

Here in Europe there are a lot of country-specific instances (e.g. feddit.de or feddit.nl). I can confirm the German one has quite a lot of members and some large German subreddits moved to Lemmy when the blackout happened. Germans are quite privacy focused in general with a generally higher Firefox market share and a lot of shops only accepting cash (not proud of the latter haha)

Don’t make the same mistake as our generation and fall for TikTok, Instagram and that shit.

Almost everything is better without it, from concerts to weekend trips to relationships.

First thing: Privacy. I am aware that iOS is not entirely private too, but I trust Apple Photos much more than Google Photos. You can even enable end-to-end encryption iirc.

Second point is control over my data. I can easily export my photos from Apple Photos as files, whereas Google maliciously separates Photos and Metadata upon export. In my experience this is the same for a lot of other services as well. Being able to easily export my data enables me to escape the walled garden more easily should I get fed up with one system. I also try to use as many open source services as possible for this as well as other reasons.

Apple has a lot of malicious practices too, especially when it comes to EU citizens and third-party app stores, etc. - but in my experience Google is no better.

Lastly, I considered switching to an Android with Graphene OS (privacy focused Android derivate) a couple of times, but the added control over your data comes with a lot of other inconveniences. So for now, I’m just sticking to iOS.
