Exclusive: Bernie Sanders worries young people are underestimating the threat from Trump
  • The Gaza genocide did not start on Oct 7, much like the Russian incursion on Unkraine did not start in Jan 2022. Both of those are tremendous blights on human rights and should be equally condemned.

    Of course, voting for Biden is the only stable option as much as one may lament that it shouldn't be.

  • Legal status of cannabis possession for recreational use
  • I'll recommend reading up on the history of cannabis bans. There were multiple countries which were coersed into criminalising marijuana to open trade with America. Don't remember if that was Raegan or Nixon.

  • That's why we need two ssds for dual boot
  • I mean I can take up issues with Linux as well. The driver support can be iffy at times, especially with Nvidia, gaming can be a challenge, depending on what game you're playing.

    "Not that bad" is a phrase, which acknowledges issues but still contests something to be bad beyond acceptance.

  • US sues Apple for illegal monopoly over smartphones
  • A keyboard is not just to enter text It can do a multitude of things like emojis. Good luck remembering all the mappings on a physical one, or you end up with having them eat screen space. Might not be your use case, but a vast majority of the world uses it.

    Additionally, this increases the overall screen real estate. Aside for sliding keyboards (which I did add a caveat for in my original comment), a physical keyboard would be in the way for most of the usage an average person makes on the phone, like watching videos, looking at pictures.

    A physical keyboard would probably weight more as well (this is just a guess, based on the idea the membrane, and additional circuitry required for a keyboard would be more than the weight of a glass panel).

    A physical keyboard adds an additional point of failure on your device as well.

    I'm not saying virtual keyboards are perfect. Like any other thing, there are trade offs to make. But in the form factor phones work in, a virtual keyboard makes more sense according to me. The best of both worlds would probably be a sliding keyboard, but that does add more weight to the device.

  • Do the ToS of lemmy instances contain any indication of monetising user data?

    Hey folks,

    This is a more general question for me to better understand the Fediverse.

    If one of the popular instances decide to monetise the user data, are there any legal frameworks to stop that?
