People have commented on the stability side, but there’s also the new implementation side. Seasoned developers have hailed Rust as being better for development - look no further than the GPU drivers for an example

You mean the operating system with a cuckold license? Nothx

for Windows

People who think .ml is tankie aren’t federated with Lemmygrad or Hexbear

I have both left and right leaning political viewpoints, and .world people like to call me a .ml troll

Really? I just asked ChatGPT and this is what it had to say:

This claim is misleading because AI can enhance critical thinking by providing diverse perspectives, data analysis, and automating routine tasks, allowing users to focus on higher-order reasoning. Critical thinking depends on how AI is used—passively accepting outputs may weaken it, but actively questioning, interpreting, and applying AI-generated insights can strengthen cognitive skills.

Lowkey surprised Cloudflare didn’t just drop the website to unblock access to their other customers

Years ago I did a UX study on Lemmy’s frontend, and tbh not much has changed since. Things like when editing a thread, the Save button is multiple proximity separators apart from the text you’re editing, making it very easy to missclick cancel. Or in the community search, you can’t search on specific instances that aren’t yours.

I’ve gotten very used to the UI over time but it definitely needs a “pain point” passover

Hopefully people start posting in niche communities!

This ^. To elaborate, download Flatseal

Even if message content is hidden from the user, Smart Reply can access it

This comes from Android Smart Reply, not GBoard: https://developers.google.com/ml-kit/language/smart-reply

It’s on-device local processing using AI and it integrates with notifications (not the keyboard). GBoard has no access to your messages

Opening the browser is done through an XDG portal. Bottles forwarded the request to your desktop environment.

Bottles (and anything running in Bottles) can’t arbitrarily read your files, but it can request a file picker dialog. Similarly, it can’t read or modify Firefox, but it can request a URL to open

The reason this doesn’t work is because Android and iOS limit the crap out of app functionality to allow for battery optimization. On Linux, users (and apps) do whatever the crap they feel like (and that’s a good thing, until you talk about battery).

Honestly I just use ChatGPT for all my questions now

Is this an ADHD thing or a normal human behavior?

I cross posted this to Hacker News (which is very pro-CEO and big corpo) and it’s now rank 1 on the front page, lmao. People really support this guy

(And it’s funny because in the comments, people are seething “Nooooo he’s not popular, look at these polls that show he has 13% approval!!”)

(Not sharing link to avoid brigade)

As an ex-Andrpid dev, all this optimization is what killed the creativity. Every feature you currently have is hyperoptimized (even with dedicated battery optimizations turned off for the most popular apps), and as a result nothing you can’t easily change is changeable anymore.

Want a widget that self updates every couple minutes by connecting to the internet? Can’t have that, even if the user explicitly accepts it. Want to customize behavior of things in the settings? Nope. Want to hook into the phone memory and do crazy hacks? Not even with root. Want to keep running some checks to determine when to send a notification? Can’t do that either, non-push notifications are all scheduled in advance.

Kids make maps. Stuff in the maps is sold for Roblox bucks. Roblox bucks cost money to buy. The kid who makes the map gets the Roblox bucks, and can sell them. The problem is you only get 30% back when you sell a Roblox buck.

So kids spend time making big maps and servers, buying ads, getting shoutouts on YouTube/whatever, and Roblox takes a 70% cut from all of it
