    Yeah, I’m afraid that was a scam, not Samsung.

    Samsung’s policy updates will in open a full-screen, white view in the same style as the rest of their OS (similar to the visual appearance of the Galaxy Store settings), just so you can keep that in mind for next time. ✌️


  • I love my Grip case. Love being able to occasionally reskin it to get a “new” case.

    Their subreddit gives the impression their build quality is shit, but I’ve noticed a lot of people with problems saying “I’ve only taken the case off a handful of times” or “I usually swap cases every few weeks, but I noticed…”

    Like, surely just put the case on the phone until it wears out? For protection? Rather than prising it off and being surprised when it loses its strength? I dunno, each to their own I guess. 😅



  • In the smouldering aftermath, some politicians, keen to shift the focus from social inequality, have muttered darkly about the role of BlackBerry Messenger, Twitter and Facebook – frightening new technologies that, like the pen and the human mouth, allow citizens to swap messages with one another. Some have even called for the likes of Twitter to be temporarily suspended in times of great national crisis. That’d be reassuring – like the scene at the start of a zombie movie where the news bulletin is suddenly replaced by a whistling tone and a stark caption reading PLEASE STAND BY. The last thing we need in an emergency is the ability to share information.

  • Although, people have been saying that since Ellen Pao and Voat… 😅

    I think you’re right to a point, but also, the whole fragmented fediverse thing is going to have to… at least be simplified if the “lurking voter” mainstream are going to end up here.

    Me (enthusiastically):
    “It’s federated, so you have to choose an instance! They’re all different, but they can all talk to each other! Some of them have different rules. Oh, and they can all have their own ‘videos’ community, so you have to decide which ones you want to follow. Also some of the instances are kbin and some are Lemmy, but most likely the website you log into won’t be called either of those things. And if you don’t curate your own frontpage (which doesn’t even show your subs by default) you’ll just see everything at once!”
