You could try coughing uncontrollably next time. If they don't get the point then, there's no way they could be reasoned with.

Honestly none. My favorite android browser would be kiwi but it's not exactly actively maintained which feels very insecure. I'm currently using firefox but it's nothing like its desktop equivalent.

These are not 20 year old phones. There's a reason these transitions are made gradually.

Except they weren't non-compliant before and this is punishing the users, not the manufacturers. I don't even know what tech my phone uses for emergency services.

So to let people know that they won't have emergency service during an emergency, they prevent them from having ANY service now (24-hour notice). Even if telecom companies behaved perfectly (which they wouldn't) the initial idea was already a problem.

Just to add, some lemmy apps (eg. Thunder) also do a similar aggregation.

• Spotify: yes, you can download and set up your own music but spotify has a bunch of integrations that just work without any effort. I'm also using a student subscription (that will probably keep working forever) so it's not very expensive.
• Mobile contract: mobile data is expensive compared to other countries but at least my current ISP has coverage everywhere. Too bad everything else about the company sucks.

Guess what this post is

So why not have an ingoing box next to the outgoing box? My initial comment was for packages but it works for mail too.

That's pretty much the idea, you put it in much better words than me. Let's make community boxes the default and if you want home delivery you can have that.

Side comment, I don't get how the US deals with porch pirates. Here someone needs to be at home and sign to receive the delivery because literally leave a brick outside and it will have been picked up by someone within the next couple of hours.

Sorry yes this assumes you live in a place where you can walk to something like a post office or a supermarket. Rural US may not have this but that's already kind of a problem. You don't have to go every day though. You can just get a notification when your delivery is actually there. This is already done in some places by companies but in a smaller scale where the available boxes are very limited and only for smaller items. With special cases I meant people who have trouble leaving the house for whatever reason.

This is very close to your mail example but can we please move on from delivering items directly to houses? Just give me a destribution center or box at a 10-15 min walking distance and I'll gladly pick up everything from there when it's actually convenient. We can still keep the other model for special cases.
