If my mom saw that on her phone she would call me and say her phone was exploding. Or go and buy a new phone.
Doing stuff behind the scenes is fine because people are ignorant and easily panic. But it should have been visible in the battery power menu or something.
Isn’t it just a web app/electron on windows anyway? I’ve run a whatsapp “client” on linux for years without problems.
Hard to describe since it’s literally called livetv… It uses the saint martin top level domain… ymmv
Don’t download their player obviously
Transcoding kills audio but whatever :)
So 128kbps transcoded to 96kbps? Seems like quite a significant price to pay, but whatever you’re happy with works for you :)
Oh I don’t know, starting or popularising the trend of gluing the phone together, removing the 3.5mm jack, not adopting the standardised method for post-sms communication (rcs vs imessage) to name a few.

No they’ve committed to keeping it. But they have an issue with port availability so they’ll probably need to move to a per server allocation eventually. Recently they reduced the allocation per user down to 5 from 20 though just to delay when they run out.
They’re probably reading it as “better beef up my security and reinforce the wall around my mansion”.
Hope not, trophies and award whoring is just as bad as karma whoring and neither is a thing here and lemmy is better off because of it.
Doesn’t US unions have money set aside for strikes so that they can support their members if there is a strike?
Which seem perfectly reasonable to me honestly. This all seem like a nothing issue when we have larger problems concerning things like planned obsolescence and no maintainability to deal with.
