Only if you leave your mic unmuted.

This is a troubling advancement, they all are, but the methods of countering this specific one are plentiful.

Really, what's needed is a more robust mute function with a good voice recognition system that automatically cuts off the mic when you're not speaking. That, and people need to learn to use push to talk.

Is this the same magnifier that pops up in other apps? Like if you open an email app, or your text app, does it popup when you select text there? If so it's an android feature, not a Firefox one

How is it "in the works"? It's not hard to implement, seeing as how he already did it.

And no timeline when it's coming just a promise it will?

Sounds more like he just wants to test the waters and see what he can make.

Liftoff is open source with no ads.

Sync requires a subscription.

I'll be real with you:

The ideal of college you believed you would experience is only for the extroverts. If you didn't make the effort to go out and meet people and do things, it's likely you'll just be going to class for 4 years.

A lot of kids think when they go to college, a social life just happens, naturally, by proximity. No, college is an excellent time, maybe the easiest time, to really socialize. But you still have to do get out of your dorm. They're not coming inside to take you away.

TVTome was my very first. Such a fun site. Basically a proto-wikia from the early 2000s. You managed a page for individual TV shows and filled it with info, and every show had it's own forum attached, that you moderated.

And then, as a sign of things to come over the next 20 years, the onwer of that site sold it off, along with all the community created works, and the community forums that went with them, to some trash company whose name I can't even remember anymore, and it doesn't matter because they probably got bought at some point too.

TVTome became TV.com, over the massive protests of its community. And it went to shit immediately.

Now tv.com is...shit, it isn't even around anymore? Wikipedia and Wikia destroyed that niche, and then Fandom enshitifed Wikia.

Except...it's being DDOS'd, so no, it isn't.

If anything this is basically establishing to everyone out there that if you want to kill an instance or encourage people to move to a different one (with different admins who might have different..."styles"), just DDOS it and promote your alternative instance as a refuge.

I'm sticking with .world because the admins there are chill. Don't feel like rolling the dice on a new instance where some power mods probably set up shop.

The android community, especially on /r/android is/was intensely hostile towards Motorola for no good reason. It's basically just a Pixel/Samsung circlejerk, anything less than a flagship from those line is spit on.

Motorola's lines have been very solid midrange phones, shipping with near-stock android, unlockable bootloaders, and just all around respectable specs for their price. They were also shipping aux ports/SD card slots for way, way longer than the others until very recently.

And before someone says "update speed", not everyone cares. Most just want something stable.

That's actually likely to cause some issues down the line with people impersonating other users, but for now It's fine

I feel like it's worth reopening the sub just to share this.

Like, I've been watching reddit all day, waiting patiently for this news to hit the fan, and I'm not seeing it anywhere. Like...I'm kind of stunned. This is exactly the thing I would think would blow up on Reddit.

would rather not use anything google because of privacy reasons.

Amazon is just as bad if not worse.

This would be my favorite feature if not for the fact that apparently there's a bug where voting causes all of them to become uncollapsed at once.
