Still rocking my Kindle Keyboard. Physical buttons or nothing for me thanks.

Yup, that's what I said. I was not implying it was a secret.

People with the app are paying with their person Al data. Seems like a fair deal.

Sounds like you're also priming yourself to be replaced.

I don't understand articles that are completely about a piece of media, but don't show or link to any piece of said media. This article cannot be effective without a video.

Yeah, I would 100% not be in a relationship with a man who cannot cook and host.

Ah I'm glad. That's much better than the solution I had in mind of using the sand from the desert to expand the land into the sea to add extra 100k km of land area, to hide all this embarrassment under the rug.

The first person ones were definitely more motion sickness inducing, but 3rd person view also apparently causes it. There was one person for whom even the 2D game caused some sickness when panning the camera around. I was very surprised.

We tried a "fun" virtual office tool around covid times called Gather Town, which is 2D. People liked the virtual office, but only for certain company events like hackathons or meetups. The general audience totally prefers something like slack for texting and meeting.

We also had an issue with a few people getting motion sickness from any 3D games, so any 3D virtual meeting space was out of the question for our company. A flat 2D UI would be preferable to the "low performance" option that this project provides, which is quite jarring.

Those have always existed but they are usually just tacky.

Anger is the only valid emotion when dealing with printers.

88% Totality here. Queues to buy glasses for 10 bucks the day of the eclipse were hours long.

Overall GitHub still got significantly worse since the acquisition. Downtime was essentially zero before.

Leather would not provide the tension needed for this. You'd need a core maybe of something else.

That's why I don't install any app, unless I really have to. Just use the website.

You can just as well say the logos look like flowers, suns, plasma balls, retinas. If you choose to only see anuses on all of them, that's really on you.

Some older banks do have more features in their website than their app. It's usually the ones with the worse, most outdated UIs and almost useless mobile apps. After years of using several mobile-first neo-banks, I switched to a traditional bank and boy, was I not ready for the trip back in time.

That's true. On the other hand, it's trivially easy to salvage and transplant a screen from another Fairphone. There's still people selling FP2 parts in the forums.

Each new Fairphone has pushed the boundaries of what a modular and repairable phone can be, but people must accept that it comes with a very significantly higher price (although in their case that's not only because it's modular, but also fairer wages, more ethical metals, etc). The average person is not willing to pay twice as much for a repairable phone.

Is the Ubuntu version of GIMP distributed as a snap package? I've had horrible performance with snap apps.

That only works when there's an abundance of documentation for your specific device. The moment you're on a more recent version of something and have a weird issue, all hope is lots. You get stuck in loops because all LLMs keep recycling old advice that no longer applies. This problem will only get worse and worse as people no longer as questions on public forums, so answers are not publicly available either.

My personal anecdote is that I used to search for "xyz nutrition" quite often on Google. It used to provide a data table with lots of information. Sure, nutritional information is hard to get right, but at least that data was consistent.

Now Google just gives you an AI answer with random values pulled from blogs and Reddit. It's almost always blatantly incorrect. I genuinely can't understand why Google would destroy its most valuable search features. Disclaimer: I work for Ecosia, so I know for a fact that users really value these search widgets, and it was often cited as a reason they couldn't leave Google.

It's about time they stop blaming us millennials for everything wrong.

> People in cities demanded EVs, yet didn't show up to keep buying them.

That's only natural, because two kinds of people want EVs in cities (with some overlap). The first kind wants less noise, less pollution and fewer gas stations inside the city - they want other people to buy EVs, but don't want a car themselves. The second wants to own an EV because it's green and efficient.

Nihilistic bullshit isn't the hot take you think it is. The problem isn't too many people. The planet couldn't handle billions more if we used resources correctly. Is your idea of "humans enjoying nature" extreme deforestation and water scarcety?

> 100k/year to 200k/year

Is this range just Silicon Valley or what is this? Even including just Europe, you're looking at a lower bracket of 10k. If you expand to the rest of the world... Or do you think rich cities in the USA, where developers make 100k+ per year, can alone sustain this industry?

Advancements in clothes technology in the last 40 years only optimized production, not quality...

Lidl has trialed vegan lasagna a couple times now. It sells out so incredibly fast all across the country, to the cries of many vegans in Facebook and reddit communities. And yet they discontinued it years ago. I don't understand the economics of it, but I would assume such a popular product would be a no brainier.

Also, PrEP pills can have side effects long term. And distributing huge amounts of daily pills to remote areas of the globe is much harder than the patients getting a shot on their yearly medical visit.

> I'd also be curious to know if the combination of ART + the vaccine might cure someone of HIV. Which is also a pretty big deal.

"Cure" in the sense they could become indefinitely under detectable levels. It's worth noting that to really cure a person of HIV you'd need to remove all mutated cells.

Right but do they pollinate significantly?
