There are some here, but I'm not familiar with the topic so you should judge them

If there isn't one that fits, consider making one or taking over an existing one to change it :)

Chances are that other people are interested too but no one has taken the initiative

That might help, is that limited to Samsung devices?

Ah good to know, seems more of a thing in the US

Other messaging platforms it is

I'd argue that Signal is the cleanest and simplest messaging platform out there

If anything, the complicated thing might be that the data is stored locally on your device, so you need to take extra steps to back up the data

But every platform has some small quirks to learn. People figure out how to adjust to all the other "big" platforms because they want to use them. It's not that Signal or Fediverse is harder, some people will use it as an excuse to feel justified in not switching

I don't really get the big deal, it feels like a janky workaround when people could just use a different messaging platform and wait till Apple complies with the EU order

Around where I am, lots of friends have Apple devices but chats are still scattered across various messaging platforms

I personally prefer to go through methodically: moving each thing, copying over the settings if needed, and then deleting it off the old one.

It gives me a chance to clean up and delete things so they die with the old device. I can also have a nicer folder structure afterwards and get through a lot of maintenance in one go.

But this isn't always convenient. You can also do this partially, by using a transfer tool then setting up each thing again as needed.

Whatever method you pick, make sure you copy and transfer over any authentication and 2FA things, as well as data for stuff that uses E2E (ex. signal, whastapp)

I wonder if you can specifically order a player offline for this

There's a lot of sketchier things easily accessible on Amazon, a player for an outdated media format seems pretty tame in comparison

Thank you, I'm glad people find it helpful :)

I have a guide for this! I just reshared it on [email protected] and you can find the guide here: https://lemmy.ca/post/11285664

NewToLemmy is also great if you want to ask questions about things.

I also copied the guide below, but I won't be updating this comment in the future, so use the link above for the most up-to-date version of the guide

A great way to find lesser known communities is to look at the /communities page on an instance. Different instances may have different themes or focuses, and so you can find related communities that way.

For example: https://lemmy.ca/communities

  • pangora.social: Great way to find instances related to a particular topic. This is also great for picking an instance when first making an account/moving accounts.
  • awesome-lemmy-instances

This should be justification enough for any enterprise company using Dropbox to dump them overboard

The money would have come from the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund program (RDOF), but the FCC writes that Starlink wasn’t able to “demonstrate that it could deliver the promised service” and that giving the subsidy to it wouldn’t be “the best use of limited Universal Service Fund dollars.”

The FCC decision sounds like a good thing in this case, also because Starlink isn't being managed responsibly

The technology itself is cool, and I hope some other companies can build off that work to meet that need. There are a lot of existing companies that take advantage of those living in rural areas, many of which don't have other options or much disposable income
