If Camila comes from a wealthy upper-class family, then why didn’t Queen Elizabeth want them to get married???
Camilla was considered to have been more "around". The palace, not necessarily the Queen, found that to be abhorrent.

What things from the 2020s do you think will age horribly?

Either it will get incredibly better, or it will just fade out (except in some applications like execution of process based work, and possibly in the creative arts).

Sad to see Reddit go

I guess the concept of fediverse is what will end up confusing people more than ever. There's a very good quick starter guide published on Lemmy that I found to be incredibly helpful. Including the clarification that content is accessible across servers but users cannot log in to other servers.
I also think it will be crucial how the app ecosystem for Lemmy shapes up. Most people will just be using an app to access their communities and won't care about the underlying fediverse structure.
Here's hoping for all the apps, which made Reddit what it is/was, to come to roost quickly for Lemmy!

Your WhatsApp chat backups on Android won't be free anymore
There's also an option to transfer your chats to another device without backing up to Google drive, but it obviously works only as a transfer tool not as a backup.

So, where do we go now?

Hi, I think that's the point the author tried to make. Although, because of the publication date, I'm guessing they're talking more about Twitter than about Reddit.

Commented. The post works. So do the comments below it. Me good, you good.

What opinions about the tech industry do you feel comfortable expressing here, but not in public/at work?

And it's because the same designers are building ticketing systems as are building the other apps.

Lemmy.world starting guide
Hi and thank you for putting this together!
When I'm searching for Lemmy posts from the browser, if I'm taken to a post on a different server, do I need to register/login on that server to be able to comment?
Or can I open that post on Jerboa, logged in from my account, to comment?

Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds?

UIs have started to hide the actual details
This is what it's really about. There's no need to understand the nuts and bolts because now the software obfuscates all of that.

I thought Nova was going the way of dinosaurs (i.e. there's only one developer left to support it).
Edit to add: Unlikely that Google will do anything about it. What will users do - switch to iOS? Also, is it completely in Google's hands, since stock launchers on third party devices such as OnePlus, Samsung, et al continue to work quite well.

Do you prefer digital or physical books?
Digital - easier to carry and to handle while reading. Plus u can read on a phone/laptop in dark environments as well. However for reading on a plane, where I'm sitting in one place, I somehow prefer physical books as they're less painful than looking at a lit up screen for extended periods of time.

Why do you personally prefer using an Android phone?
Reply in thread
Hi. I've heard quite a few people do this but never managed to ask why. So, taking the opportunity to ask.
What I mean is, if the large part of the phone is about the software experience and software optimisation (and the hardware in itself is nowhere near cutting edge) what's the upside of installing a non-google OS on it?
Perhaps I'll try it someday. For today, just curious. If you could shed some light on it. Thank you!

That's right. There's been a downward trend with the quality of content, especially on the tech front. What's seemingly unaffected are location-based subs.

After seeing the comments above, I was about to say precisely this. Getting the data protection authority involved is the most sensible way.

People who keep journals or diaries, do you hand write or type?

That's why I used to maintain a blog (a secret one, whose address no one knew). Till the day I realised there's too much there which I don't want to be able to go through, and deleted the blog in a snap.

People who back into parking spots: Why?
Reply in thread
This is the technically correct answer. My good person, you have, very clearly, been thinking a lot about this! Well explained!!
Edit to add: reversing in gives you a much better angle than pulling in because it's your front wheels which are doing all the steering work.

And there are devices which have a non removable but still no waterproofing.
If the reason for non removable batteries was to make phones waterproof..

It's getting harder to find a decent phone that has both a headphone port and a micro SD card slot.
I cannot stress this enough. I'm playing with my phone installing custom ROMs, bulk transferring pics and downloaded files. Having a memory card is just so convenient - and safer.
I just factory reset my phone and forgot to back up files from a specific folder. Wouldn't have happened if I could just pop out the memory card
