Why are permissions so damn confusing? I say this as someone who knows why permissions are needed, such as location to find nearby devices. But why must we keep track of “permission X is for thing unrelated to X” in our heads? Now I haven’t tried to make a permissions system for the masses, so I guess I can’t say too much, but it doesn’t seem that difficult to just make the permission name relate to what it does and provide a short synopsis for it.
That’s me. Hell, you wouldn’t believe this, but I’m on Lemmy on my phone as I type this.
What in the boomer is this comment.
This thread is a great reminder that Lemmy users do not represent the general public. I put a phone mount in the shower so I don’t have to pause a podcast or whatever to take a shower, it’s nice. I don’t really love showers and struggle to stop what I’m doing to change direction, so it’s one less barrier to entry. My partner and some friends who have used my shower have also appreciated it.
But does it allow you to backup your app list to move to a new device? This is why I moved to obtainium from Fdroid. In reading the article, I don’t see a mention of a backup feature.
Check out CoMaps. It relies on OpenStreetMap, which also has the correct name. Main downsides are a lack of business info, so it’s more difficult/impossible to find somewhere to eat, and no traffic data.
The best feature is that it’s completely offline, you download everything to your device as you desire. No stupid squares to select and download like in Google Maps. I have the entire US on my phone, and don’t need internet to navigate using that data.
Data Hoarder 💾
I create videos for YouTube/PeerTube and backup all of the raw footage. The actual storage count is currently 130TB in my main NAS with about 250TB for an offsite cold storage backup (as most of my data doesn’t change much) and on-site live-ish backup. I also have the benefit of being able to get reputable used commercial grade HDDs from work for $10/TB, even right now, it makes it way too easy. Shameless plug of my PeerTube instance: https://joeltube.com/ or @JoelKalich on YouTube.
