Security updates have been separate for a while now, no? So within reason an older version of android shouldn't be detrimental.

I love that it's blurred like a Japanese adult comic, enough to say technically, but not enough that you can't literally see everything.

To be fair, RAID is not backup for itself but if they have their stuff on a computer and then sync it to a NAS RAID then that's backup.

I guess we're going into the definition of normality. To me this just means average, conventional, within certain limits. I would bet my ass most users of this simple forum are not average people, just based on the friction of the sign-up process alone.

And being unique while being normal is another oximoron from you. Either you are unique or you are average, you can't be both.

I don't know how to paint it more clearly for you. You are talking about interests that are out of the ordinary, not typical for the average population, obscure by definition, you know.. niche. Having obscure interests is relatively common in the grand scheme of things but still not typical of the average person on the street. Which makes it not normal. I would go so far as to call it neurodivergent, since it's most probably the cause of the said interests.

I do prefer abnormality in my life, probably everyone that managed to get themselves on lemmy does, but we are not a representation of the general population, we are but a niche.

Niche in this context literally means to be of interest to a small minority. Or to say it in other words, not normal.

This ia what they call an echo chamber. You took it at face value and didn't question it.

A disgusting behavior that I've seen in Spain is for websites to direct you to their subscription page if you say you don't want to be tracked, either you pay for the content or you don't get any content. Apparently the Spanish courts have deemed this legal.

And what do you think that is? So far I blame algorithmic/targeted social media that leads to echo chambers and lowering living standards because of rising cost of living and prices without salaries keeping up.

But I'm also getting the impression that no one that can actually do anything about it is aware or cares enough to act so we are fucked either way.

There was a long time of that happening and everyone being blisfully unaware. That's the period that feels like the golden age to me because we were getting all these new cool and free services not fully realizing what we are paying.

Tried this recently and I hate it. It makes a racket and no matter how careful you are with it it stinks. Plus the constant extra work of filling it up. I'm selling it off and getting a heat pump. Should have done that from the start tbh.

Question still remains, how do 4 different countries lose power at once. Sounds like an insane fuck-up.
