How?

I like podcasts at work

Same. I like that it is hard to go viral. It feels more like people talking and less like influencers (although there are some.)

That’s fine. The friction of typing in the person’s name to harass them from the screenshot does deter some people, it turns out.

What happened with hushed? Did they cancel your lines or change them to monthly?

I just learned about one but I forget what it was called. It was like a Google voice replacement.

I’ll have to try and find itin Lemmy and then edit my comment.

I guess it is going to award contracts to AI companies.

IRC rules! I just made a new channel to discuss degoogling – come by and say hi! https://web.libera.chat/##degoogle

Isn’t this jack Dorsey’s project?

There are laws. They are called the right of way. I will not argue further with someone who is unable to incorporate new information.

Go for it.

I will concede that the corporate use of ‘sideloading’ is bypassing the official store, but if you look at the other examples you’ll see that it is not the only usage. I think it is important to frame installing software as just that.

You are framing the situation such that the jaywalker is endangering themselves and other road users by ignoring the rules of the road that keep everyone safe. “Jaywalking” does not refer to pedestrians as a whole, only the people committing the act of jaywalking.

This is simply miskaken. At the time the term was invented, the streets were for pedestrians. There were natually no laws or norms saying people shouldnt walk in the street. Car companies waged a campaign to kick pedestrians out. If we can’t agree on this basic fact, I am not sure how to continue the discussion.

Why do you think it’s not?

It means downloading not from the internet but from another device.

Google wants it to mean installing software they don’t condone, but I don’t see why the rest of us should follow their lead. I don’t know anyone who calls installing from FDroid “sideloading”

The words people use influences public opinion and the bottom line of corporations such as Ford and Google.

The time is 1900. There are no traffic laws. A car almost runs into a dude.

If you say, “that car is dangerous” you are correct, and society tends towards making laws that protect pedestrians.

If you say “that person is jaywalking” you are framing the situation such that the car has more of a right to be there than the person. Maybe you think that cars are modern. “The wave of the future.” This is the incorrect framing. We have seen how much of a mistake this was.

Some places like the Netherlands have been undoing the damage, rectifying the error in urban design.

We are downtown because that was the context in which the term “jaywalking” was invented. To kick pedestrians out of their own downtown.

We’re talking about the supposed use of the word “jaywalking” implying that all pedestrians are to blame for collisions

Maybe that’s what you’re talking about. The rest of us are talking about how “jaywalking” was coined to make a normal behavior (people walking around their city) seem wrong. That is why so many people are telling you to listen to what they’re saying.

Why would you want to call it sideloading when you’re not loading from the side? It’s just doing what Google wants you to do.

Doctor can mean different things to different people.

Installing software without a store was just called installing software.

Sideloading is when you download from the side, e.g. downloading software from a separate device instead of from the internet or physical media.

It’s a bad comparison because some people do take the medicine to get the side effects. For example taking benadryl to fall asleep.

3. You could blame the pedestrian, but it would be incorrect. A pedestrian is more vulnerable and harmless than a vehicle, and arguably has more of a reason to be traveling through the downdown of a city on foot than the vehicle does.

When cars began taking over streets making it dangerous for the people there, and auto makers lobbied to make cities more car centric, it made the cities way worse.

Imagine for a moment if in the model t days, the dangerous vehicle was held responsible and regulated instead of the people walking. We would have walkable cities today and cars wouldn’t be allowed to take over.

We are not talking about individual blame, we’re upset at the historical choices that led to a car centric landscape.
