Well, in my experience, calling it Twitter or any variation helps people stay in negation about the fact that Twitter is dead, and calling it x makes people more likely to open their eyes and delete their account, and losing users is what really hurts musk. I already helped all the people from my close friends circle to move out from that shit.
I always refer to it as X, to remember people that the twitter they knew is long dead
So true. I’d complement the first point to include a general lack of documentation. Sometimes, we can’t even know some pinout schema without trial and error.
Authorative drive is what makes software more inclusive. It can focus the resources and attention where its needed,
Where a particular groups think it’s needed.
Let’s take some examples. In the linux world, there are multiple DEs, with different GUIs and approaches on how to interact with a computer. People used to the windows look might feel better and be more productive in KDE, while people who are more used to phones might prefer GNOME. There are DEs that are very lightweight with resources, so that people with older machines aren’t left out, and there are people who don’t even like DEs at all, who might prefer something like i3. In the end, everyone can have something to run on their machines, and which they will feel more comfortable with, instead of a particular group of people deciding how someone should interact with a computer, and people having to use it the way they want, whether they like it or not.
Doesnt mean it has to be monolithic/monoculture. but a single product that serves 80% of everyones wants and desires is a better, superior product to one that tries to cater to and serve 100% to each, different individual.
I agree with that, and maybe we’re talking about different things? The kind of diversity I mention is multiple projects aiming at 80% of different people, but coexisting.
Just a reminder to take the data in that site with a grain of salt. I used to share them a lot, but then decided to read more about their methodology, and turns out it’s mostly a black box, so they may be subject to several kinds of biases, and we can’t even know. For example, we don’t know which sites use their analytics and if there’s a geographical bias. We also don’t know how their scripts work and how the data is collected from devices. It would be nice if we had more sources of marketshare data to compare
But how much is too much? Diversity is a great thing for people, makes technology less authoritative and more inclusive.
In my experience, lxqt is lighter, but xfxe has more features and is more friendly to people with low tech skills, so I usually recommend xfce.
Can computers be properly recycled? I ask this as someone living in a place where everything ends up in a landfill
We can’t even browse products in some online shops anymore without a login. That’s so infuriating.
It would be awesome if there was a community focused on that
I have given it a try a few times, to see if it makes sense to search on tiktok. I tried things like “[generic topic I’d like to know more about]”, “history of [topic]”, “[topic] lecture/course”, “how to replace screen of [phone model]”, “how to fix [device model]”, “how to make [recipe]”, [product] review, [software] tutorial, and a few others, both in english and in my mother language, and in all cases, the results were poor, barely related to my search or nonexistent.
It makes me wonder if: 1- people don’t actually search on tiktok as much as people make it look like 2 - there’s some different way to write the search terms that I’m unaware of, or perhaps, the results would be different if I was logged in 3 - people are simply getting poor results and that’s it 4 - my search interests differ too much from what people search on tiktok
This is one thing I would love to actually see some data about, because I have never seen people not using search engines, no matter the age, but I see a lot of people on the internet claiming that younger people don’t use search engines anymore.
There’s one active brand still making e-ink phones, both single and doubled screen. It’s HiSense. The devices look pretty nice.
There’s a brand called HiSense doing exactly that. Look for the A6L model.
Almost all of our GUI software was designed with high refresh rate screens in mind, so it can be clunky to use e-ink ones. If we had GUis based on section changing, instead of scrolling, it wouldn’t be a problem. On pcs, using the page up and down keys can be a workaround, but on phones, it’s complicated.
Damn, I LOVE e-ink screens, I’d love to have almost all my devices using it, I love to read freely without getting eye strain from it. I’d even give away being able to watch videos in my phone for an e-ink screen.
But it seems like I will never be able to use it anywhere besides my cheap second hand ereader… the prices are always astronomically high :( even chinese e-ink tablets are too expensive for me.
That AI in the article title was probably for getting more clicks and do some seo tricks, because the text barely mentions it. The expected growth is in industrial and automotive applications. In a way, it’s likely to reach consumers soon, but not in the way we want.
Scrolling through this meme was weirdly timed, because the shampoo bottle I left too near to the edge just fell off in my bathroom.
Is there a problem on being based on uk that I’m unaware of?
I believe telegram manages that with severe upload and download speed limits, but Telegram has always been a bit shady, hasn’t it? Who knows how they financially support all that.
