Smaller phones do have a place though. I've got a 7-year old son with Type 1 diabetes. We wears a Glucose Monitor that requires a Bluetooth connection to get a reading. He needs to carry a mobile phone for this reason, and because of his size, and the fact that he needs to carry it basically all the time, a smaller phone is best. He does not need a camera, or to browse social media.
I don't think you can get widgets on the usual Android lockscreen anymore. What I used to do was make the weather app have a persistent notification, and have that notification showing on the lockscreen.
That's kind of what is happening with Kim DotCom. He's been in New Zealand for years and never set foot in the US, but he is accused of conspiring to distribute pirated material that belongs to American corporations. He supposedly broke US law, while in New Zealand, and has never been to the US.
Not sure if you saw the news, but the BBC are experimenting with their own Mastadon instance. They can probably afford to host video.
I understand that many instances are run by volunteers and hobbyists. But that doesn't mean that a business such as BBC couldn't come and host their own instance.
And I don't think I implied that you wanted to ban video. I just want to see video integrated natively into Lemmy so that instances can turn it on or off. A Youtube link is no good. I don't like being rickrolled.
Any plans to integrate video into posts and comments natively?
Waiting for the Climate Change Commission to shoot this proposal down.
Is anyone else losing respect for players that go to Saudi chasing the money?
I'm not sure if I would consult with a doctor about whether a waste to energy plant is a good idea. They should probably stick to what they are trained and qualified for.
The World Cup could be referring to so many things!
We have the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023, Mens Rugby World Cup 2023, Netball World Cup 2023, Mens Cricket World Cup 2023. And there's probably more.
I've generally stopped watching movies because they're too long. I prefer the shorter episodes of TV shows.
Every now and then when I'm in the mood for a movie I'm looking for 90 minute movies. Otherwise I doze off
Other countries didn't give women the right to vote, so why should we? It's because it's the right thing to do, and other countries will eventually follow.
Those are horrible. The captions are down there, and the movie is up there. And sometimes the arm goes limp and you have to prop it up again. And where do you suppose I put my drink? On the floor?
