Interested in self-hosting, decentralization, and learning more about the fediverse.

I also do photography, but with digital cameras from the 90’s.

All the browser settings are also stored there, too. I turned all the AI stuff off, then the next time I booted up my PC the AI was back. Turned it off again. Same thing the next time I logged back on…

I finally looked into it and it was because I had firefox set to clear the cache on shutdown.

I would unironically love if there were enough people in my life that also wanted to live that way to make it viable… Also the lack of functioning payphones these days would be challenging.

The place (at least in the USA) where I’ve found the most functional-looking payphones was actually Hawaii… And even then, so many are decaying and non-functional. I’ve had a silly idea to go back and just roam around and photograph as many as I can.

That solidifies my suspicion that it’s a standard Android feature… I also don’t get many spam calls, and only distinctly remember performing that action on this most recent phone.

Based on OP’s comment “…I always assume that rejecting the call outright will also be detected as a deliberate action and therefore a person is on the other side…”, I figured maybe they didn’t know about that feature and/or have an iPhone and they somehow don’t behave that way.

I also miss the old days of Android… I got a smartphone specifically to play Pokemon go in 2016 lol, up until that point I was still rocking one of those Casio Gzone indestructible flip-phones. Walked into WalMart, bought the cheapest LG whatever phone I could find (Android 5 I think?), caught a bazillion Pokemon. I remember buying multiple batteries for longer sessions, because you could just pop the back off and replace it on the go.

I don’t know if it’s a universal thing, I’ve never bothered to research further. On my several-year-old Oneplus phone (Android), if I single-press the power button, it mutes the ringer and vibrate but the call doesn’t end or reject (I could still then go and answer or reject the call normally, it doesn’t affect the user interface, just the ringer/vibrate). That’s how I’ve been “rejecting” unknown calls for a long time. A simple, elegant solution that doesn’t give the caller any hints.
