The sewage pipe at the bottom must be ginormous

I shouldn’t have to adjust my grip on my phone to change the way I swipe to exit the website because that website decided to replace a commonly used functionality to make it different for their website alone. I kid you not I almost didn’t see that button because my thumb was naturally placed in front of it.

There is already a way to make a gesture that navigates “previous” or “next” by swiping left or right. It is by swiping from the center of the screen outwards and it is how that website should have made that gesture work if they didn’t want to interfere with Android navigation gesture users.

It is called Gestures Navigation and replaces the three button navigation. It is an available option in the settings if your Android version supports it. Some people don’t like it, personally I prefer it.

On many Android phones swiping from the outside edge of the screen inwards either from the left or right edge, it behaves like you tapped the “back” button. It is extremely useful to get out of for example an article that was opened on Lemmy or simply navigating through menus on your phone.

A swipe either left or right from the middle-ish of the screen is what you would expect to take you from the previous or next article. Not from the edge.

The swiping motion that you are describing starts from the center of the screen outwards. I have no problems with that as you have said, it is standard behaviour across most platforms and doesn’t conflict with other gestures.

The problem is that the site is using a swiping from the edge of the screen inwards instead. In most gestures-enabled Android devices this is a powerful gesture that has the same functionality as using the “back” button and its utility and functionality extends well beyond web browsers. It is incompetent design at best to try to make that gesture do something else on your website.

More importantly, I was visiting this page from a Lemmy link and the only way to get out and back to Lemmy when you have gesture enabled (short of force quitting the app entirely and reopening it) is to use that gesture. That website tries to hijack that feature to make you see more ads on their site.

It’s a personal preference. Ever since I tried gesture I never went back to buttons. I don’t even need to adjust my hand position to get out of a page and it’s never been a problem until that site has put a different function exactly where my thumb was going to swipe.

Also, such a function you are suggesting would use a different gesture. You would have to swipe from the center-ish of the screen outwards instead of the other way around.

Apple’s gestures though, I can’t stand.

For a moment I thought it was referencing the fact that some people are never satisfied with the amount of money they have and always want more.

It does sound like it could become a solid option for people wanting to ditch Windows and want a simple, easy to use distro that just works out of the box with GUIs for everything they’ll ever want to do so they never have to touch the oh ever so intimidating terminal.

May I ask how you got that patched version and how you can trust it?

“And your birth just put them in crippling debt that they will never be able to recover from. Enjoy life!”

It’s mentioned in one of their official videos about the core one on their YouTube channel. They really should put it on their website in written.

They announced that they were working on a new system that would depart from the MMU3 for the core one.

I’m personally keeping an eye on Prusa. They’re working on a new multi-filament system for their new Core One printer and it might be worth the wait.

It is pricier because it is made in Europe but at least the company has a solid reputation for quality, repairability, consumer respect, and more ethical business practices than whatever enshitification hell Bambu is heading down the road towards.

Snapmaker beat them to it with a much simpler design and it does not have the mechanical connector issue they’re trying to insinuate they have simply because the toolheads are always connected.

Also Bambu has completely lost all trust from everyone by blatantly taking the steps to make it possible for them to force anti-consumer features on their printers down the road through mandatory updates which the printer will refuse to work without. Even if this turns out to be the best system ever, I don’t want anything to do with a printer that must always be online to work and that can one day be suddenly enshittified with something like mandatory subscription fees or filament DRM bullshit.

I imagine the two teams sharing the same desk through a hole in the wall like in Brazil.

Wait, it did? When? What did they break?

I have a laptop that still runs win10 that I need for a few obscure programs to work that won’t work on anything else. I haven’t booted it in a while and I would love to know if I really should start it offline and disable window updates on it so I can keep using it.
