Jury says Google must pay California Android smartphone users $314.6m in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 15 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

After correcting for how many of those are cellphone users, then correcting for how many of those are android users, then correcting for how many of those are the plan owners, it would be considerably more.

....until you correct for the lawyers fee, then it goes back to $22.47

How do I simply copy a google photo to Clipboard so I can do a simple paste into any app? in c/android@lemmy.world

Click share, then on the bottom right of the Facebook option there should be a drop-down. Click it, and select Share to Group.

When you share to an app, it shares the image as if it's copy pasted, it doesn't share a link

Having a big memory card was such a flex in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world
[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago

I remember buying a cheap 4 pack of PS1 memory cards, I think the brand was pelican? I was shocked at the deal, until my saves wouldn't load.

Well, that's a reasonable outcome. But I have 4! So I'll just double save! Until both cards were defective and couldn't load.

I know, I'll go nuclear. 4 saves, per game, per memory card. 16 layers of redundancy. It worked. It worked beautifully, until one day when it suddenly didn't.

75% of the way through Final Fantasy Tactics, my save failed. And then it failed again, and again, and again and again and again and again and again, until I got to the last save file, and saw the message I had been dreading.

All. 16. Saves. Corrupted.

I thought I was flexing with my magnitude of available data, but it was all for naught. Turns out it's the quality of the data, not the quantity that matters

Hard fucking disagree dude. I'll eat ass, but that does not mean I'm about to take the place of a roll of toilet paper. Awful take. I'm not only in this picture pointing my spear at you, I'm taking the first lunge and twisting.

Addiction. We shouldn't discriminate what the addiction is, we should support people suffering. I do not see this happening in my lifetime in my country.

Adopted Plants (lemmy.world)
 

Hey there! Hoping for some help. I've never really owned plants, but my best friend is moving out of state and gave me 6 plants she didn't want to throw away. 4 of them are looking pretty rough. They are a ponytail palm, a monstera, a euphorbia Trigona, and mystery plant. They are all getting what I think is medium light? In my apartment, which has a north facing sliding glass door and windows, and they have all been being watered once a week. They also have been getting "miracle grow tropical house plant food" once a week, except for the euphorbia which has just been getting water. Any tips to try and save these lil guys?

Community solves homelessness... By paying cops over 3 million dollars (denvergazette.com)
 

I hate this news story. If I wasn't living in this community (Douglas county) I would think it's a good story. However, Douglas county has massive NIMBY policies, including outlawing everything that would allow someone experiencing homelessness anywhere near here. No homeless shelters are legal, no sleeping outside is legal, hell even weed stores are illegal in this massive county, despite it being legal in the majority of the state. Douglas county also created its own health department in protest of mask and vaccine mandates. It's a very affluent deeply conservative pocket in Colorado that makes me sick.

Corporate astroturfing is the norm (lemmy.world)
 

Went to Google Play to complain about Hulu. I noticed Google advertising that over 300 reviews had the verbatim quote "watch and movies that you love". It's always confusing that buggy corporate apps have >95% 5 star reviews until you see that the majority are just completely fake, and no one cares or is doing anything about it.

YouTube: 5 ads the norm now? (lemmy.world)

For context I'm in the US. The last time I used YouTube without an ad blocker, there were 2 ads back to back, and way too frequently. I tried watching on my PlayStation tonight, and not only are they more frequent, they've increased in quantity by 150%. It's also very common for the last ad to last 2 minutes to over an hour long. What the actual fuck, why would anyone watch YouTube without an ad blocker at this point? It's literally unwatchable

Edit: the amount of unsolicited advice in the comments is unreal. I don't get ads on my phone or on desktop, I'm very aware of how to block them. I simply won't watch YouTube on my PlayStation anymore. I'm not looking for suggestions, please stop with the recommendations.

Happy Thanksgiving brothers (lemmy.world)
 

I don't have many people to celebrate with. Part of getting older is celebrating alone, which is sobering and a change of perception. If you're reading this, I hope you're safe. I hope you're with family that loves you, I got you have a friend.

The world seems dark, but it truly is safer than ever. Don't give into the media my friend. We're truly in a golden age of information sharing, which makes life terrifying but lucid and evolving.

Play Store Astroterfing (lemmy.world)
 

Has anyone else noticed that the Google Play store reviews are suspicious?

Like, you find a scam company or app, and every review you scroll through is 1 star. And yet the reviews claim 95%+ are positive.

Is there a way to prove it? I've noticed it for 3 years now, I no longer think it's a coincidence. Something scummy or scammy is going on

Is there no way to report ads? (lemmy.world)
 

Lately I've seen some... Questionable ads, to say the least. Is there no way to report these ads on sync?

If there is, am I just dumb and blind? Or is it easier than it seems?

It feels like early Reddit all over again to me, hopefully I'm wrong
