UNESCO calls for global ban on smartphones in schools
  • Not really, they're still using them. Just not as obviously. They'd be even more distracted trying to hide it and focus on everything at the same time.

  • UNESCO calls for global ban on smartphones in schools
  • Yeah good luck with that... Even if it was agreed upon it is effectively unenforceable without resorting to essentially temporary theft as we see today, causing the students to hide their phones even better.

  • As a brit, it absolutely is state-run in every way except the technicallity of the employees not being government workers and having a semi-indepdent structure, it is undeniably linked to the british government by nature, history, and practicality.

  • So why do you have a Pixel?
  • Same points here for me, but I had more emphasis on the camera which is why I went with my 6A.

  • What niche reddit community do you want to see find a place on the fediverse?
  • Awesome, thanks for the suggestion, subscribed.

  • Awesome, thanks for the suggestion, subscribed.

  • Which communities you feel lemmy is lacking?
  • I'll say it for everyone (and myself), NSFW communities. Reddit is still effectively king for that, at least for now.

  • People around the world, do you drink tap water without boiling?
  • Here in the UK we just drink straight from the (cold water only by law due to differring regulations) tap without boiling and that's been the case for decades at the least across the entire nation. There's just no need to boil the water here unless you are cooking.

    It's also safe in Iceland, I went there and their water is crystal clear and pure since it's sraight from the glaciers. You could drink out of a random stream there.

  • firefox
  • That's just my werid phrasing, I mean the non-chromium branch that is Firefox and its backend.

  • firefox
  • I run a dark theme by default, first load of google.com in chrome is functionally indentical in performance as I said. Statistically there is a difference, probably only 0.1 - 0.25s max faster load in Chrome but it's not reliable at all in the few tests I did quick (t's 4am), so something that does not effect function itself, only form, makes me still correct in what I said originally.

  • Pixel 6a, it's functional, effective, decent quality, budget, etc. That's it really.

  • firefox
  • I run at 16GB of RAM and have 40+ tabs open 24/7. There are zero RAM issues, you need to plug your leaks.

  • firefox
  • Mostly having the centralized backbone of chromium makes people uncomfortable since it can do a lot from behind the scenes if it wanted to. But the raw base form is pretty much fine AFAIK, it's just very rare among browsers to do so.

  • firefox
  • It is a common misconception, they perform functionally identical across multiple PC's and updates. People are just slow to change their minds.

  • MEGATHREAD: whatever the hell is going on in Russia right now
  • Probably just re-enact Jan 6 but Russian for the propaganda points, then skedaddling before the hammer comes down.

  • MEGATHREAD: whatever the hell is going on in Russia right now
  • Putin hasn't done anything yet except flee to safety yet, he doesn't personally hold a gun in moscow to hold it as his own. A surrender would mean a civil war in wagner's favor. Currently not at that point of desperation but we are getting there.

  • firefox
  • Firefox supremacy! Keep the non-chromiuim branch alive forevermore, no centralization please.

  • Redditors, how do you like Lemmy?
  • Jerboa is in Alpha so there is tons of features missing in it. You'll want to use desktop for full functionality for now.

  • Comfort games?
  • Lately, Battle Brothers. It's god damn brutal but I love min maxing my bros and carefully playing essentially battle-chess with them before dying horribly and restarting my save.

  • Reddit refugees, has your favorite sub migrated already?
  • This for sure, all the art and also all the NSFW art collected on reddit is going to become significantly harder to access, it'd be nice to have somewhere for both.

  • Fresh user here, is GenZedong community is botting their comment count or are they just 215 insanely active lemmy users?

    Because the sheer quantity of comments in comparison to the tiny amount of users and subs is nuts, each user would have been required to do ~250 minimum comments each if my hair brained maths is correct, a ratio which far exceeds any other community here by miles, or am I just missing some key context here?

    I genuinely have no idea, it could go either way but I'm leaning towards bots due to just how relatively colossal those numbers are.
