why is it only today that I'm finding out about 404media's 404 page

https://www.404media.co/404/

who needs a weather app when your phone's case is made of wood and it expands or shrinks ever so slightly depending on the humidity, so you can tell it's not going to rain because the phone is wobbling a little bit inside of it today

@kevie @SecurityWriter sadly that's not viable on all devices, and the custom ROM availability isn't that great when it comes to Samsung ones, but it's always worth trying out

@aral "Google told 404 Media in a statement that “All advertisers must comply with all applicable laws and regulations as well as our Google Ads policies, and when we identify ads or advertisers that violate these policies, we will take appropriate action.” The company said it had removed CMG from the Partners Program after a Google review.
Amazon told 404 Media in a statement that “Amazon Ads has never worked with CMG on this program and has no plans to do so.”"

@AkaSci uhhh, aren't the distances supposed to be in billions km, not millions? 150 mil km is 8 light minutes...

@aral that's what you think.

@wonkothesane @mattly @inthehands yeah, kinda sad how that "shoving" comment is still there, but Vlad has been removing any new comments and just directs people to DM him instead. saw a thread where two people were criticizing the company's response disappear before my eyes last night.

@dansup there's a pixelfed.social account belonging to a very outspoken pro-Russia, pro-China tankie whom I've seen around on lemmy.ml. I've blocked their Pixelfed account, but despite that it's still showing up in my follow recommendations, and while I might be misremembering, I *think* their posts would still sometimes show up in trending, too. would it be possible to make blocked PF accounts and their content not show up at all?

@roadriverrail @normis @anildash straight up scraping would be difficult to explain to the regulators, but when you're federated? "hey they willingly connected with us and gave us all that data".

@aral @Mer__edith not sure about iOS, but on Android the content of Signal messages doesn't go through Google's servers.

hopefully that'll still push them to look into alternative options like ntfy.

just cancelled my Spotify subscription. a song unavailable for playback IN THEIR OWN GOODBYE PLAYLIST is just *chef's kiss*

starting off with two of my favourite ways of getting the apps and keeping them updated:
Droid-ify (https://www.f-droid.org/packages/com.looker.droidify/) is a much more pleasant looking F-droid client than the official one. it comes with several third party repositories ready to enable, including one maintained by the one and only @IzzyOnDroid , which serves many apps that either haven't made it to the official repository yet, or ones that don't completely fulfill F-droid's strict requirements.
