I could butcher anything, but that, I’ll butcher it with glee.
CaptKoala@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Google’s ‘Secret’ Update Scans All Your PhotosEnglish2·4 months agoI’ll give it another try then! Last attempt it wouldn’t open.
CaptKoala@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Google’s ‘Secret’ Update Scans All Your PhotosEnglish1·4 months agoI still use a stock pixel for work related and daily usage, but the alternatives I’ve found between F-Droid and Aurora store I’ve never felt lacking.
Maybe I’ll finish the switch fully in the coming months.
CaptKoala@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Google’s ‘Secret’ Update Scans All Your PhotosEnglish3·4 months agoI did a fair amount of research before the switch to find alternatives to Google services, some I’ve replaced, others I felt were too much of a hassle for my phone usage.
I’ve kept my original pixel stock, the hardest part about switching this one over was plugging it in and following the instructions.
I’m hoping to get rid of my stock OS pixel soon, it would appear my bank hasn’t blocked it’s app on Graphene, unlike Uber.
For the rest I’ll either buy a cheap af shitbox to use purely for banking and Uber (if it comes to that).
If you’ve any other questions I’m happy to help find then answers with you, feel free to DM me.
CaptKoala@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Google’s ‘Secret’ Update Scans All Your PhotosEnglish20·4 months agoThanks for bringing this up, first I’ve heard of it. Not present on my GrapheneOS pixel, present on stock.
I suppose I should encourage pixel owners to switch from stock to graphene, I know which decide I rather spend time using. GrapheneOS one of course.

CaptKoala@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Nvidia’s RTX 5090 power connectors are meltingEnglish11·5 months agoNew gen, same issues. Glad I jumped to AMD this build. No Nvidia product has been worth the cost:performance ratio for me since GTX10 series.
Probably the best thing I’ve seen out of GPT so far.

CaptKoala@lemmy.mlto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the best habit that improved your life?English2·7 months agoAs someone who never expected to become a gym rat I second this.
I started lifting as a purely whimsical decision with a mate and some dumbbells in his backyard.
I’ve now been a powerlifter for 6 years (minus a year due to work related injury) and it’s truly my happy place, am I sad? (Stronger) Am I angry? (Stronger) Am I happy? (You guessed it, stronger).
Not only does lifting grow your body, but also your mind. I may have permanent function loss, but I work around it, and I’m building back (slowly) and stronger than before.
Hardest part is getting started, followed by keeping with it.
My DMs are also open to those who are unsure where/how to start.

When that time comes I’ll probably either remove networking from, or just wipe win10 entirely.
