Have y'all seen all the happy UHC ads everywhere? "My life is great because of UHC" again and again.

Just letting anybody know, if you are reading this, that I have been trying to find a solution for 5 hours and I would now like to scream. My level of ineptitude feels like trying to communicate in another language using only a paper dictionary. I am not a developer and can barely operate the command prompt. I need to go back to stock. Peace be with you.

Hi, the apps are all updated according to the Play Store. I submitted a bug report, but it looks like someone submitted for the same problem 2 months ago and I don't think it's been resolved https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/-/issues/8613 Hmmm.

Edit: I submitted my bug report because of the additional information that messaging also does not work on Wi-fi. I hope that's appropriate.

 

I installed Lineage 22.2/MindtheGapps yesterday on my Pixel 3a, but I cannot get Wi-fi calling (or messaging) to work. I can see that VoLTE is available/provisioned. But when I try to toggle the "Wi-Fi calling" option under Verizon it toggles back and says that the "Carrier Setup keeps stopping."

I was running vintage Sargo until yesterday on this phone, and Wi-fi calling worked fine. I live in an area without cell coverage and so I depend on Wi-fi calling, but I haven't found any solutions online.

Any leads? I probably shouldn't go back to Sargo...

Novice question: I think I am understanding that Aurora is a way of accessing the Google store without actually installing the Google Play Store, but is there a software package that it comes with? Is it MicroG? I am a little lost with how these relate to each other.

I installed Lineage and MindtheGapps on my Pixel 3a yesterday, but I'm interested in alternatives before I commit to this setup. It seemed like the easiest route given my lack of know-how, but my hope had been to de-Google gracefully and I don't know if that's possible with system-level Google still installed on my phone.

I like that it's Ohio, but not quite Florida.

Numbers surely don't tell the whole story. What happened to the Cherokee was a dramatic loss for many reasons, and basically amounted to genocide or ethnic cleansing. That's very much where the USA is (or is headed) right now, too. Loss of life due to covid was a tragedy, but it has nothing on the evil that was the Trail of Tears.

Also, if we decided it was a good idea, then it should have been decided by Congress! Presidential overreach has been a huge issue for decades, Democran and Republicat alike. Fuck our congress. They are not doing their jobs.

Fingers crossed, but give us rank choice voting or I fear the progressive bloc will not be obvious

Isn't part of the issue here that they're defaulting to LLMs being people, and having the same rights as people? I appreciate the "right to read" aspect, but it would be nice if this were more explicitly about people. Foregoing copyright law because there's too much data is also insane, if that's what's happening. Claude should be required to provide citations "each time they recall it from memory".

Does Citizens United apply here? Are corporations people, and so LLMs are, too? If so, then imo we should be writing legal documents with stipulations like, "as per Citizens United" so that eventually, when they overturn that insanity in my dreams, all of this new legal precedence doesn't suddenly become like a house of cards. Ianal.

Drink it earlier in the day, not all after dinner. I drink a full glass of water when my alarm goes off in the morning, and keep a bottle with me almost always. Add some sliced cucumber or other flavor to convince yourself to take sips throughout the day.

He deleted it! The post is still around, but all the associated comments are gone. Does anybody know if it was all archived?

 

Lemmy, a few minutes ago I tried to change my notification settings for a website, but it was not possible using Gmail:

From my phone email inbox I clicked the link to unsubscribe. This opens the website, but via the gmail app. To sign into the website, they sent a single-use sign in code to my email... which I can't access because I'm using the email app to view the website. If I exit the website to view the new email containing the code, then I will lose my place on the site and need a new code sent to sign in. Thus an unresolvable loop.

Is this an asinine gmail issue, or am I an idiot? Please advise. I have ended up staying subscribed to several extremely annoying websites because of this bug/tactic.

 

Hi all,

I've had a 3a for some years now, and I like almost everything about the phone (though I sincerely wish they'd used more durable glass, holy canoli). However, the battery has started to fail, and I was wondering if it's worth replacing? It would cost about 80 USD to have it professionally replaced.

I know the device is no longer supported by Google, but I was thinking of running GrapheneOS instead of Android, anyway.

Any thoughts or insights? I'm far from a genius when it comes to cell phones, so I'd appreciate anything you have to say.

Thanks!
