All the reasons I come up with, can be easily argued "you can do the same thing in a browser". But still, it is not the same.
JS has absolutely no rhyme or reason, single threaded nature makes it gunk up browsers crazy quickly & the insane bloat of "frameworks", which attempt to completely replace already great APIs, while working on top of them... IS CRAZY!
Like 320 in dark mode, makes the filled buttons, white text, invisible
This could be so much more practical with simple css definitions.
Anyone knows if it happened? Has the google research on latency been published?
Do you mean the applications of the suit are buggy, or are they somehow hackable / leaking private information?
Is there a chance the direct messaging task could enjoy some cooperation with the Matrix protocol / Element people?
I have little-to-no knowledge about the politics, goals & inner-working of both groups.
Also, I have started thinking about my Night Owliness, as a manifestation of avoidant character in general. The "waiting till deadline to do a sprint" type of mentality.
I've come up with the same, internalised, realisation, based on my relation with religion & science. Both are a way to describe our world with metaphors (e.g. electric & water currents). At some point, for some people, one is a more attractive way, to describe our relation with the environment.
Then you have directional localisation based on delay between ears, difference in volume & properties of reverberations. Things to the sides are going to arrive in either ear at different moment. Add source if first echo & you have confirmation that a sound is coming from either right or left. The more directly to the side is the sound, the bigger the delay between ears is, so you get approximate angle.
Now we consider sound muffling, caused by shape of our head & ears. Things in front are going to sound clearer in the opposite ear, than sounds from the back.
The same principle is used for detection of height. Things below are going to get muffled, things above will be clearer. In reality, feeling sounds with the whole body helps in source localisation, which can't be emulated with headphones.
I feel like anything I'd post on this platform, would get lost in giant noise of generated feces.
Maybe it's just, the unknown world of "artsy" people is what is really so off-putting. Maybe I am just getting old and don't understand this joy of childish expression anymore. But the other, most popular platforms, seem to have more appeal for followong reasons: - Facebook works around ads (pages) & groups about my (technical) interests, there isn't really a reason for AI spam. If any would appearx it is easy to make them disappear. You get some ads here & there, but content generating bots are often named bots & post content we've agreed to. - Discord gives you high walled gardens for every topic you are interested in. So, one really needs to get out of their way to get content they are not interested in right now. Plus, everything feels like a DM, even the public chats are all just quick chats. - X is literally a politics platform, so I am not expecting AI content from verified account of a diplomat, or media person.
