Plug it into a computer and see what the computer says.

I usually use Linux for that because it offers good error messages and I know the tools. But other operating systems might help, too.

And if you start writing to the card or executing recovery tools, make a backup first.

If the files are very important, maybe don’t tamper with it and ask for help. Like a repair shop, your local Linux community or any trustworthy computer expert friend.

The biggest enemy is probably encryption, if it’s encrypted. The files are definitely still there if you just ripped it out. In the old days you could just run a recovery program and get everything back.

FYI: There’s also AnLinux, Linux Deploy, Termux, tainer, UserLAnd, …

Some of them aren’t maintained anymore. And they don’t necessarily have hardware-acceleration. But don’t all require root and system patches.

Thanks for taking the time to explain it to me. The Github issue also is very helpful. Seems that’s exactly my answer to “Why do I need a fourth store in addition to F-Droid, AuroraStore and Obtanium” 😉

Have a nice day, thanks for the STT keyboard! I didn’t really engage in the discussion because I’m exactly in the same situation as other people here. I already have the FUTO one and Sayboard… But eventually I’d like to replace FUTO software with free software alternatives. I don’t like their licensing. So this is very welcome.

Sure. There isn’t any paragraph on how it compares to other appstores or why the author started the project in the first place despite several other stores being available.

So I’m looking for the selling point. (Aside from your App being available there.)

Can someone enlighten me oabout the specifics of the accrescent.app appstore?

I guess it’s somewhat like Obtanium in that it fetches releases packed by the original developers, just plus an index, metadata and signing, thus more convenient and secure? I guess it’s open-source and everything? What are the unique benefits?

I’m pretty sure he did this out of this own motivation because he thinks/thought it’s a fascinating topic. So, sure this doesn’t align with popularity. But it’s remarkable anyways, you’re right. And I always like to watch the progression. As far as I remember the early videos lacked professional audio and video standards that are nowadays the norm on Youtube. At some point he must have bought better equipment, but his content has been compelling since the start of his Youtube ‘career’. 😊

And I quite like the science content on Youtube. There are lots of people making really good videos, both from professional video producers and also from scientists (or hobbyists) who just share their insight and interesting perspective.

And maybe have a look at his Youtube channel and the older videos, too. Lots of them are a bit more philosophical and not too technical for the average person. I think he’s quite inspiring and conveys very well what AI safety is about, and what kinds of problems that field of science is concerned with.

Uuhh. Difficult topic. That needs to be something all participating parties like, or it won’t work.

I’d bring it up eventually. Say ‘wife, I had this fantasy … would that be something that’d turn you on?’ Maybe start slowly with just role-plaing it as a fantasy and see if it goes somewhere.

There are several podcasts on sexual things. Detailing experiences of other people, discussing healthy behaviours… (Maybe you want to visit a Swingers club. I’ve heard you can have a tour of the place and get an introduction in good establishments. And you can take it slow and aren’t forced to participate on the first visit. But that’s also something I’ve only heard about in podcasts and never experienced myself. So there’s that. And people recommend not to try things like this to save your marriage. You’re bound to fail. So only do it if you’re happy together and comfortable.) And I don’t know if it’s just the flirting for you or the whole thing. I’d say just flirting is more tame. But it also needs to be something the other person would be comfortable to do and get anything out of it.

If nobody has an answer maybe ask over at !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com and set the NSFW tag accordingly. They regularly discuss some torrent trackers over there. I’m not sure if this question is too specific. It definitely is for me…

Nice. Does anyone have an idea if there’s open source third-party clients for that? I don’t have the Android Google services installed on my phone.

You’re welcome. And if I might add something: Sounds like you’re a nice person and on the right path. All of that isn’t easy and lots of us (humans) struggle with certain things in relationships or with being ourselves. Lots of people just live with mismatched libidos and/or fantasies that they can’t share. Or lots of other woes. I think you deserve some respect for putting in the effort and wanting to address that. And who knows where this will lead? Maybe your aversion to intimate conversations can be overcome. Sometimes our weaknesses also provide us with something else. I mean this way the solution certainly won’t be gifted to you. You’d have to work (hard) for it. And usually earning things this way pays off in more than one way… I’d be optimistic about the future and the more complicated topics.

Regarding “feel[ing] valued as a partner” and “the nuance”: Also here it’s a good thing that you try to understand the perspective of your partner and wanting to respect them and doing it the correct way for them. That’s a solid foundation. I’d say: Try to not assume what they want. I myself had a good amount of misunderstandings in the past of my relationship. Things we did that we assumed the other one wanted (or didn’t), but later on it turned out neither of us liked it that way. In the end -I think- you have to arrive at some point where you’re comfortable discussing these things openly, minimize misunderstandings and accepting each other… But all of this is really easier said than done.

And looking at other couples usually gives a skewed perspective. Most people make their relationship look fine and dandy. But if you were to look past that, lots of people also struggle or have to put in effort into their relationships. I learned about that by listening to some podcasts about relationships and sex. And I found lots of similarities and issues I had and still have. (I’d recommend those podcasts, but they’re in German.) And I also have some skeletons in the closet. So despite me maybe technically knowing what’s right… Sometime it’s just not easy or I missed the opportunity to bring something up. Or life gets in the way and there are other things to worry about. But I (too) strive to become better.

So… I’d say keep up the good work. General advice applies: Good/healthy communication is key to everything. Don’t let things being hard stop you. Brace for setbacks, they’ll happen. For major setbacks you’d need a solid foundation rooted in mutual respect and acceptance plus healthy communication and maybe some prepared strategies. I’d say this is a requirement for something I’d consider as healthy non-monogamy. But it’s hard to achieve and it also takes a good amount of time to get there.

For the things you already did, there’s no way to turn back time. It happened and the only question is how to handle it. I don’t know your partner so I can’t give advice. Hide it or be honest, tell only parts of the whole story… All of that are strategies people choose. Maybe you really screwed up, that happens. Your partner gets to decide how bad it feels to them. I think the job of the people who make the mistakes is to learn and not repeat the same mistake too often. And it’s difficult to find the correct time to approach a conversation about it. Could be too early but the real threat is probably trying to reconcile when it’s too late. So maybe have a plan/schedule so you don’t postpone it indefinitely if you want to address it.

All of this is just my opinion. And what people like and are comfortable with varies a lot. So everyone has to get to know their partner(s) and make up rules between each other individually. Love, respect, acceptance and healthy communication are the underlying things. On top of that you probably can’t apply other people’s strategies and opinions to your own relationship, you have to find your own way (between the both of you) as you have to find your own path in life.

(And a last sidenote: Before proceeding to implement the non-monogamy… Make sure you can absolutely rely on the communication between the both of you. And read up a bit on what mistakes other people made so you don’t have to repeat all of them. If we’re talking about more than acting out a cuckold fantasy, it requires a good amount of trust and constant communication and detailed knowledge about the emotional world of each other.)

Meh. I’d like to see that open source and available to everyone at some point. Sure it’s SOTA tech and impressive and all. But on the other hand it’s just the 5th company implementing the same AI editing tool.

First of all, don’t delete everything. I’d just create a new account. Deleting stuff on Lemmy just doesn’t work that well. All your contributions and all the contributions from people who replied to you just vanish. And people might still want to read it if you did more than just shitposting…

I have about 3 accounts. And I separate NSFW stuff, stuff I’d be ashamed of, being helpful and answering Linux questions and mundane political discussions and memes. At least a bit.

Concerning the relationship: If you want my opinion, a healthy and grownup way to treat each other is to communicate well, talk about wants and needs, opinions… But also to have your own space and privacy. So it’s neither - nor… I don’t like to tell my spouse how exactly I masturbate when that’s “me time” or which porn genre I consume how often. But I put in some effort to talk about how I feel, what I’d like to try together etc. Neither of us wants to give up our individuality and independence. However we treat each other with respect and know 100% that we can rely on each other. But each of us also gets to have some small “own” things. And I think that’s how it should be. But of course it completely depends on the personality of the two (or more) people. And you need to agree on that. It doesn’t work if one of the involved people is a bit controlling. But I mean you can also forget about the non-monogamy if someone is controlling or jealous.

Maybe consider a tool made for the task and not just some random Claude, which isn’t trained on this at all and just makes up some random impression of what an expert could respond in a dramatic story?!

Why I refuse to upgrade to a new phone - 8 minutes video explaining why it’s not that interesting to upgrade buy new phones nowadays

I think that’d fit better.

But you all made me look it up on Wikipedia: “Upgrading is the process of replacing a product with a newer version of the same product. In computing and consumer electronics an upgrade is generally a replacement of hardware, software or firmware with a newer or better version, in order to bring the system up to date or to improve its characteristics.”

I’m confused. Maybe because so many people use those terms wrongly. And I suspected them doing that. But I think I’d still like to refuse using the same term for describing upgrading a computer with an additional $35 RAM stick and buying a new $2.500 gaming rig.

Yo, write better titles. I thought this was a video about how they didn’t want to upgrade to Android 15 or something. But it’s not. It’s just about not buying a new phone every two years 😆 In my opinion buying a new replacement isn’t ‘upgrading’.

Uh, is that the response to Google saying Apple is blocking their Google “AirTags” a few days ago?

I think it’s supposed to make your phone notify you if you move and there is another unknown BLE device constantly moving with you. That means someone put one of those small keyfobs in your backpack. It’d be a known BLE device if you put it there yourself and added it to your account.

This isn’t a new thing. It’s been a long time ago that the internet shifted from being a level playing field and a means of connecting people, to a place where the big companies make money. And it brought some of the currently biggest companies on earth into existence.

Things changed a bit. Harvesting private data and selling information about the users used to be the dominating business model. It still is, but now it gets mixed with selling their content to train AI. I’d argue that in itself isn’t a dramatic change. It’s still the same concept.

But I also always worry about centralization, enshittification and algorithms shaping our perspective on reality more and more.

Nice. I always wanted to write a children’s book about a hamster. She’d be an anthropomorphic hamster with some occupation that gets the story going. I want the story to be AI assisted writing, too. But not like this 😁 I tried some language models but last time I tried they struggled fleshing out the character and coming up with an interesting story. But it seems if I ever manage to do it, the illustrations would be less of a problem. I’ll bookmark this. Thx!
