Giver of skulls
Threadly reminder that “German fairy tales” were as much for adults’ entertainment as they were for kids. Just because a story has a moral, doesn’t mean it’s intended for toddlers
It’s kind of the old school “cartoons are for children” vibe of stories. Don’t let the evil mouse corporation trick you into believing fairy tales always have a happy ending!
And then, as I’ve heard reported in several European countries, when they notice your broken grammar they switch to English for both of your conveniences. Caught myself doing that to some poor student a while back because I was in a hurry and couldn’t parse what they were trying to say.
And then there’s the other language students, who studied very very well and now sounds like the voice of a kids’ TV show with their perfect “standard” pronunciation. I love seeing immigrants who were so dedicated to their language skills that they end up speaking the local language way better than any local you’ll meet. Sometimes it’s difficult too, because random words won’t have been part of their vocabulary training and they end up talking in-depth about the geopolitical landscape but don’t know what “backyard” means.
Learning languages is cool, if only I had the patience to do it.
Revanced has that, as well as a load of other features. Can be used without root access these days.
Could be that your phone lacks the necessary certificate authorities. I don’t think I’ve seen this happen on anything newer than Android 7 before, but maybe some root cert expired that I don’t know about.
If you haven’t already, try a reboot. The WebView server may be initialized once, and if you’ve just activated the cert in Magisk then you may need a reboot to activate it.
If not, I’m guessing the app explicitly does something to only use a particular system trust store.
Damn, they really overfit their music models. With image generation and text prediction it’s very hard to prove a direct connection, but with four or five of those songs it’s unmistakable that the original songs were used to generate the music output
I wonder what the effect will be of fixing the models’ overfitting. I’m guessing it’ll generate worse music, or they would’ve done so already.
Quite sad that it took the music industry to notice before any lawsuits with a chance of succeeding got off the ground.
Now that single window mode is a thing across all platforms, it’s not as bad anymore.
I still don’t know how to draw a circle, though. I think I may need to turn a selection into a path? I just use Photopea for this stuff these days.
Gimp is what you use for image editing if you’re poor or Stallman-like. It’s good at being scripted for programmers that want to automate their image processing workflow.
Krita is what you use for drawing stuff if you don’t want to spend money on software or are Stallman-like.
Photoshop is what you use if you do photo editing or digital art for a living. Paid, proprietary options exist if you don’t do photo editing.
There’s one tool that comes close to competing with Photoshop and it’s Photopea, a subscription based/ad ridden website clone of Photoshop.
Recommending GIMP as a Photoshop alternative is like recommending LaTeX instead of Word. It’ll work for some people, and it’ll do some things much better even, but it’s ridiculous to assume any normal user of the proprietary product is going to be able to use the open source alternative without weeks or months of training.
Is there a database of “this IP belongs to this state” these companies use? Or do they just use GeoIP stuff? I don’t want my Lemmy server to accidentally violate American laws and get in trouble/banned, so I may need to start doing some IP filtering myself.
In theory you get the benefit of them banning your Drive Google account and leaving your email Google account alone. Google will probably link the two, but I don’t think the ban will cross accounts automatically.
These companies typically use AI analyses of uploaded files to prevent people from doing stuff like upload child porn. Unfortunately, they can’t distinguish between “pedo shit” and “picture of naked child with a nasty rash emailed to a doctor”.
Several people have lost years of email because they uploaded pictures like those to OneDrive. By separating accounts, you can keep your files and your email separate.
There have also been instances of people attacking others by inviting them to WhatsApp groups (which still isn’t disabled by default) and spamming a bunch of illegal shit. If you have WhatsApp set to auto backup, you may just end up sending that illegal shit to Google, who in turn detects it and kicks you out of your account.
For this reason, I think it’s a good idea to separate any cloud storage accounts from your email accounts.
Google will typically ask you to add a DNS entry, or an HTML tag to the home page. This will usually prove ownership. If you lose access, I think this mechanism should automatically kick you off at some point.
They used to offer free domain services, I think, or at least very cheap subscriptions. I think they’ve moved away from those since.
Same with Microsoft. I have a Microsoft account for a Gmail address, but Microsoft doesn’t realise that they should disable Outlook, leading to the funny weird situation where you can log in to Outlook.com with a Gmail address and enter a completely useless empty mailbox. I bet Google has the same quirk.
Alright, I guess I could enter IMAP or POP details and use Outlook as some kind of email client by proxy, but that’s an even worse idea.
Apply the steps on https://dontkillmyapp.com/ to Google Play Services and Google Play Messaging, that may help. Also check if you have an app running in the background that eats all of your RAM and forces the OS to clear up scheduleable tasks.
Thirty minutes is way longer of a delay than I’ve ever seen. You may want to try a factory reset in case it’s a ROM issue. Fairphone has had its ups and downs over the years when it comes to the built in software.

Many fairy tales are. Especially the oldest. Some of them have direct references to historic people. This is what I got out of the story:
I think the sausage is supposed to be the rich class, safely hidden away, in a life of luxury, having others do most of her work. Leaving the safety of their own land without protection was no safe task for many nobles, especially with warring nobles around waiting for a chance to seize more power. With an excuse, the dog took out their neighbouring queen and left society to crumble.
The mouse may be an allegory for the church (as the church, nobility, and the laymen were often grouped together). Though the sausage clearly had an easy life, the mouse had control in the end, and could be persuaded by the bird (the common people doing the hardest work). The second bird was a (foreign?) revolutionary, infecting the bird’s mind with dangerous ideas.
In other words: stay in your lane, just do your chores, and everyone is better off. Start shit and society will collapse, and everyone will suffer. Probably written by someone well off.
