I don’t know much about Iran, but do they have legalized slavery?

It's debatable, and I'm by no means an expert. But forced marriage is still a thing, where you sell your daughter to a man to clear your debts. If you ignore all the sex slaves, there are still about 600k people living in "modern slavery" conditions. The government isn't doing anything about it either from what I gather.

So no, it's not legal the way it is in the US through prison systems, but it is very much a huge issue that isn't being corrected.

But I mean between the US, Israel and Iran... There really are no good guys. Each of these governments does some real horrible shit.

There's a podcast by two stand up comedians here in Estonia (well, WAS a podcast, now that Ari Matti is in the US and gathering international fame - no new episodes in months) where one of the very first episodes discussed this: Having a common enemy brings people together more than anything else they have in common.

"Oh we both went to the same school? Yeah, cool.."

"Wait, you ALSO hate that person? Of course you do, how could you not, they're terrible... Have you noticed how they speak? It's so weird..."

I've yet to decide if I'll use the same name or create a new identity entirely. But my addiction won't let me just have nothing to scroll. I'm on lemmy because it's less horrible than reddit or toktik.

I feel like Android and Linux (being that it's what Android itself is based on) do the whole "everything is an app" much better than, say, Windows. On Windows, generally speaking, your entire desktop experience is built-in and so tightly coupled that it's hard to switch it out. On Linux, you don't NEED a GUI at all, but if you want one, you'll have a display server, a window manager, etc. On Android, at least without the desktop mode, the base GUI is the launcher, which is just an app.

System apps that require root access are still apps. Of course the kernel isn't really an app and I don't think Google Play Services fits most people's definitions of an app. System libraries aren't apps. So those are the parts that you could consider true "OS updates" as opposed to "app updates", but since the "apps" part of the system (if you include system apps) is so much more visible to the user, an OS update will seem like it's mostly a bunch of app updates.

Thank you! It'll be my last :(

Facts right here. I love Rust and my day job is Python. Neither is too slow for most of my use cases. Though one cool thing about Rust is the super low overhead. So well-written Rust, much like well-written C, is great for low-power devices. Still, the database is going to be memory, IOPS and maybe CPU hungry as it grows. You can optimize data structures, but you still need to read said data.

What did Trump say about Elon's computer knowledge winning the election again?

It's a washer but it's also AI generated most likely. But also not too uncommon in tiny apartments.

Isn't that what Whatsapp and Telegram are already used for?

Gen whatever slang often borrows from AAVE though.

I mean yeah, you're right about the desktop mode, but 90% of new user facing features are going to be in one app or another generally.

Technically the desktop mode itself might also be an app, though a window manager or desktop environment isn't something we conventionally think of as an app.

No idea when I'll get to touch a new enough Android to play with it. My old Oneplus is on shaky custom rom support and my daily driver is an iPhone (which will likely get much longer software support and is newer to begin with)
