Yep well said. My hope is that Google's recent changes will encourage some activity into other projects or (even better) a Linux Phone OS.

There's no author, and a source isn't mentioned anywhere.

If that information is missing it's either AI or it means OP stole it without crediting which is even worse.

I want a blocklist of every community that allows AI slop and every user that has posted it.

Thanks, I fixed my comment, the article said "similar to that found in the Kindle Colorsoft" and I didn't read further.

This is really cool, I love that it has a gentle front light. But pricing aside, having to take off the wall to charge every three months is a dealbreaker. I wonder if a solar panel along the top edge of the frame would have been sufficient to keep the battery charged for most situations.

Regardless I hope we see more of these. Even if the ~~Kaleido~~ Spectra 6 screen is FAR from photo quality.

Oh my goodness automatic theme transitions finally!

I've suspected this was a thing for a while now but it's nice to see someone naming names. Many subs ban MAGA/hateful content, so a workaround they use is sharing it "innocently" by someone who's "confused as to what the controversy is". A big one is right wings memes being posted in /r/peterexplainsthejoke with the user feigning ignorance as to their meaning. OOTL is another.

HA. At least your account died for a good cause?

Oh interesting I read "atomic" and assumed it meant small. As in small updates to an immutable system.

Anyone here who still has a reddit account should hop in that thread and link to the Lemmy version!

It's actually slightly less risk especially for someone's PC you won't be around 100% of the time to help fix. Immutable just means the system files can't be edited.

The "atomic" part means it gets frequent (daily, if desired) updates but you can change in the settings to only check monthly so it doesn't feel crazy.

You'll have to ask Gary Mitchell!
