Trying, not releasing

The Dalai Lama references are from the Air Nomads, not Fire Nation

Most Americans are too dumb to realize the allegory in ATLA.

If they added automatic online account collation and mass deletion I’d pay them $100 on the spot to wipe the hundreds of random accounts I have on sites/services I never use and often have never used.

How the hell does Zoom have 7500 employees??

Apples actually generally pretty good at not wasting much screen space.

Nilay’s point is that the Vision Pro is by far the best implementation of this kind of device yet - possibly just about as good as is actually possible - and yet still suffers severe issues as a result. Usually Apple waits and learns until they can launch a product that is well considered and that often shows the industry how to move forward, yet in this case it’s quite possible that they’ve actually just demonstrated that this kind of computing fundamentally doesn’t work.

Yeah I have the dBrand Grip on my Pixel 7 Pro and it’s very high quality. Very durable, perfectly shaped to the phone, and even has lowered sides to account for the stupid curved screen etc. Never been disappointed with purchases from them.

1. Ubuntu wants to own snap, with their own proprietary store etc which runs against alternatives like Flatpak and goes against the FOS ethos

2. Snap is slower and worse than Flatpak (the most popular alternative) in most ways, with very few pros that will likely be caught-up-to soon too

Linux Mint is definitely the closest interface- and vibes-wise to XP imo, of the big distros worth considering

Also the fact that the faster the wifi, the easier it is to block.

UpNote is the best non-FOSS option

Samsung Health is the only decent-good one that’s free, but I use LoseIt! instead for reasons I can’t really recall

Yep, though Google is happy to process your data in the cloud constantly while Apple consistently tries to find ways to achieve it locally, which is generally better for privacy and security but also cheaper for them too.

Google effectively has a monopoly on the Android app ecosystem and this trial brought to light mountains of evidence that they maintain this through extremely anti-competitive means.

There’s a difference between the display being flat and the glass in front of it being flat, which is what they’re pointing out, albeit badly.

The S9 was a significant improvement in performance etc over the S8 despite having basically the same design - my friend has an S9+ and he feels absolutely no push to get a new phone and I don’t blame him.

To be fair, Chrome was vastly superior to Firefox for ages in the early 2010’s

Yep. Costs a bunch of money upfront and ongoing to operate a streaming service, and even more to make even just an alright one. Plus you split consumers which will naturally give you and competitors fewer subscribers over all. All of that just to get paid directly instead of just getting free money, even if less per-view.

I agree, but more broadly about technology and working on it. That’s why I enjoy Lemmy and Mastodon but unfortunately my girlfriend literally cannot find anyone talking about anything she cares about on here.
