Great for forwarding my mail server to my gmail

I feel you. T9 on my sidekick in 2008 was better than my current predictable text. At one point my screen was so broken that I was using maybe a 1/4" sliver of the screen to text, and text prediction was solid enough to give actual suggestions

They’re acceptable for basic productivity but very sluggish if you’re coming from a flagship device. Get an S10 series if you’re looking for something cheap and Samsung

This has been fixed for a while now

Most routers have an option to point at a custom DNS first with a fall through for external DNS providers. Best bet is to log into your router and poke around

I’ve been looking for a photo viewing solution for a nextcloud instance and immich seems really nice. Basically looking for something with similar features as iPhotos (stretch goal)

Have you had any bad experiences with bugs or features not working correctly?

How do you like immich?

Let’s go back to thicc boi phones like the 80s and we could have some pretty sick homebrew options

Or hell, why not a modern bucket phone? Build it out in a box with a Bluetooth headset and 3.5mm passthrough

Never heard of zig before, thanks

Little descriptor your browser has to tell websites what it is and where it comes from

The result was still unlabeled sexual content. They had categories specifically for that, but it was rarely adhered to from my own experience

If you’re complaining my perspective is reductive how is yours any different? You could argue whatever takes Omegle’s place will be worse, sure. I respect that you have a different opinion

I’ll adjust my complaint to the need for better AI moderation. You’re ignoring that the Omegle was shut down shortly after a lawsuit settlement surrounding child exploitation. I don’t personally believe organizations or people should be able to outgrow something like that without consequences

What was reductive about my description? I qualified my experience with the good and bad. My only real complaint was the lack of moderation. Lemmy has its issues, sure, but it has community driven moderation whereas Omegle had essentially zero. Not to mention the accessibility and notoriety of Omegle far exceeded Lemmy

I enjoyed having Omegle exist, and I’m happy there’s space for something else to take its place

That’s the only problem I see with the platform personally

Omegle has always been primarily men masturbating to (for?) random people on the Internet. It was kind of a cesspool from the beginning so you didn’t miss much

Anecdote for the road: I was in my early teens when Omegle was in its heyday. Even then it was a minefield of done people that wanted to roulette chat and men masturbating to primarily children my age. I met a lot of cool people to talk to and it was my first real personal/video interaction with people over the Internet

When I was about 13 I started getting on Omegle to have men masturbate to me and tell me I was pretty. They would always ask how old I was or that I looked young. Looking back I can see that as harmful behavior, but I was old enough to have a semblance of control to never share any identifiable information nor show my face. Basically, Omegle was my homosexual “awakening” as I hadn’t had those experiences up to that point

If a similar platform with maybe AI moderation came along I could get behind it. While I don’t view my experience as personally damaging, I can see the avenue for grooming and exploitation and I’m glad they finally shuttered

Musk has perfected the self selection of morons, I’m sure they’ll have plenty of test subjects to toy with

There are worse people to emulate

Non-profit, open source and extremely privacy consious. You’ll need a rooted Pixel device and you can download/learn about the ROM here: https://grapheneos.org/

I liked GrapheneOS but I didn’t like the pixel hardware personally

If they bring back Heroes of the Storm I will dick ride Microsoft for the rest of my life

Afaik the python is ran on Microsoft servers, so not exactly a perfect solution. I doubt it will run offline at all
