As of 2017, the rules in Canada have been the following:

All new devices in Canada must be sold unlocked, and carriers must offer to unlock existing phones free-of-charge

That’s part of why I clicked the article, I was confused if I read it correctly

Very cool, thank you!

This is both really cool, and really unsettling. I wonder if this research might help in the other direction as well, such as with transplants and grafts

sarcasm is already hard to understand online, even harder for generative AI

I know sometimes I would take a peek at the person’s comment history to see if they were well informed / a shill for the product. The AI can’t do that

I’ve seen some dashboards around, is this what you’re looking for?

Oops, should be fixed now

Thanks!

Oh I didn’t know there was a new app coming out, is the original one being rebuilt?

I think updates like that would do well on Mastodon, it’s the most popular right now so it has a wider reach / support. Similar to what would have been posted to Twitter before

Hard to believe anyone makes apps for iOS, considering the hoops you have to jump through just to make it available to download.

This is something I’ve heard, and assume is the case, but I don’t know the specifics of. What kind of hoops are there?

Yea I’d prefer to wait until it’s on fdroid proper

See if you can find a friend who owns a particular model and is comfortable letting you try it on. How it fits is the most important thing IMO.

Samsung ones seem reliable, but one big downside is that the app (Galaxy Wearable), has a number of required permissions. The app does not function without them, even if you don’t need those features. I’m not sure what the workarounds are, and maybe you can make do without the app, but here is the list:

• Calendar
• Call logs
• Contacts
• Nearby Devices
• Phone
• SMS

I was about to recommend Heliboard since that’s the best one so far IMO, but it also doesn’t have emoji search. Turns out I was using the “recent emojis” menu

That might help in the meantime till a better recommendation comes around

There actually is a bot here for that

@RemindMe@programming.dev 12 hours

For sure! Turns out I was subscribed to two, the later being an automated mirror of a subreddit

!playstoredeals@lemmy.ca

!googleplaydeals@lemmit.online

There’s also a community for the Hermit app it turns out !hermit@lemmy.world. That one seems abandoned

It comes on sale somewhat often, I saw a sale post the other day on Lemmy somewhere.

There’s also Native Alpha on Fdroid which does something similar

edit: decided to give it a try. Interestingly, both Lemmy and Mastodon are listed in the “popular” section of the built in apps

This makes me think of people who have trouble in airports because their name is similar to someone else’s.

Only this is going to be much harder to deal with

Same idea as new-reddit with its ‘views’. It doesn’t make sense how some post on a local subreddit gets a few hundred impressions immediately, even when posted at 4am. Meanwhile the actual organic comments on the same post follow the average human wake/sleep cycle

I wonder if advertisers are also fooled by those numbers, or if they use a different way of measuring

Wouldn’t they be? They could measure how likely it is that someone clicks on the generated link/text
