Very handy site. Nice 🙂

Anybody do CCF at school? in c/casualuk@feddit.uk

I was in the Air Cadets although it wasn't part of the school. It was an after school activity and was great. I got to shoot guns and fly planes and develop leadership skills and character. While some did use it as a springboard into RAF (direct or via sponsored university place) there was no push to do so.

I pay for it so the TV and web experience is ad free. I use PipePipe on my phone because the native client won't stop pushing shorts at you.

Does Google scan yt videos to know what products appear in them? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Do you think there is information YouTube wouldn't collect about you even if they could be better at selling ads to people based on it?

Do you live somewhere with data protection laws? If so you could request a dump of all personally identifying data they hold on you.

I don't think it's purely a private thing though. As a country we haven't kept up with investment into our very antiqued infrastructure and it's going to take a lot to fix it.

Here in Wales our water is publicly owned but we are still seeing prices rises because guess what - capital investment has been put off because it's hard and expensive.

Radicle is an open source, peer-to-peer code collaboration stack built on Git in c/opensource@lemmy.ml

I think the most useful thing for this is hosting repos that suffer from constant DMCA takedowns. Emulators, ad-blockers, site revancers etc.

It's not like Android is especially open to drive-by contributions anyway. I don't think really changes much for the downstream consumers of the releases.

DOJ renews call for Google to sell Chrome, and Android could be next in c/technology@lemmy.world

We'll go from Google sucking up all our data to another entity sucking up all our data and selling it to other people. How much funding does it take to keep Chrome running?

‘Frequently returned item' warning slapped on Snapdragon X-powered Surface Laptop 7 at Amazon in c/hardware@lemmy.world

The firmware is the key. Meeting the SBA specifications is what allows various distro install mechanisms to work out if the box.

I'm almost certain there will be talks about this at Linaro Connect. The kernel side is mostly done (QC are much more proactive getting stuff upstream these days) so it's likely firmware that is the final thing that needs fixing.
