Scrollone,

Reddit has stopped being a good guy a long time ago.

RIP Aaron Swartz

Scrollone,

Maybe it’s not only a search engine problem, but a content problem. There’s less and less useful content on the web nowadays

Netflix Windows app is set to remove its downloads feature, while introducing ads (www.techradar.com)

Netflix has managed to annoy a good number of its users with an announcement about an upcoming update to its Windows 11 (and Windows 10) app: support for adverts and live events will be added, but the ability to download content is being taken away....

Scrollone,

I don’t think I hate something as much as I hate client side decorations, “minimal” interfaces and the whole GNOME 3+ theming.

Scrollone,

You don’t have to do it! :)

One of the original maintainers of Simple Mobile Tools forked the project and he’s adding new features and fixing bugs.

The project is called Fossify and you can already download the apps from both Play store and F-Droid

Scrollone,

2038 is approaching super fast and nobody seems to care yet

Scrollone,

Because they increase usage of the apps. People just doom scroll and keep playing.

It’s a horrible thing IMO

Scrollone,

Trust me, most people don’t even know what that star in the URL bar is for

AI-generated content and other unfavorable practices have put longtime staple CNET on Wikipedia's blacklisted sources (www.tomshardware.com)

In the wave of AI controversies and lawsuits, CNET has been publicly admonished since it first started posting thinly-veiled AI-generated content on its site in late 2022— a scandal that has culminated in the site being demoted from Trusted to Untrusted Sources on Wikipedia....

Scrollone,

If I was an investor I would invest before bringing the UFOs

Scrollone,

The desync issue is probably caused by different frame rates. For example, an American movie is 60 FPS, while a Greek one is 50 FPS. That leads to a slow desyncining of the audio throughout the video.

If you know about this problem, then I think it’s quite easy to fix while merging the two files.

Scrollone,

That’s a good thing, in my opinion. I miss when Google results were the same for everyone.

Scrollone,

It’s possible to backup your data, but you have to do it beforehand. There’s no chance to save your data once the server goes down.

What's a word you've spent a long time not using right?

Just recently I was in a conversation with a number of UK mainlanders and we had a debate over what “tories” meant, apparently disproportionately ordinarily it refers to a political party and it’s not usual to use it as short for “territories” as I’ve used it (according to how the debate ended, it was half and half...

Scrollone,

Me too!! I’m Italian and I used to say “renumerare” instead of “remunerare”.

If you’re curious, the verb comes from Latin “munus” = service/duty/tax

Lemmy.world Should Defederate with Threads

I think it’s pretty safe to say that the majority of us are here to avoid another corporate takeover of our preferred platforms. It would seem to me to be a tad irresponsible to allow Facebook into our space with open arms, allowing them to hoover up our data. I would love to keep using Lemmy.world, but will happily change...

Scrollone,

Let’s federate with Threads. Let’s not jump to conclusions beforehand.

I want to give them the benefit of the doubt and see how they behave. We can always defederate later.

Scrollone,

I’m Italian and I pronounce both "i"s in the same way. Why is English so strange?

Scrollone,

I completely agree.

Another recent example has been the developer tool Insomnia. It went from open and free to riddled with trackers and paid-only features.

Luckily an open source fork, called Insomnium, has been created.

Scrollone,

I used to be a GNOME fanboy, but then GNOME 3 came and I can’t stand it. Now I’m a KDE fanboy

Scrollone,

Well, GNU stands for Gnu is Not Unix, so…

Scrollone,

Thanks, I hate it.

Fuck Google, just stick to the standards.

They’re doing the same thing Apple does with iMessage and Google complains about

People who back into parking spots: Why?

To me, it seems objectively easier to pull into a parking space forward and then back out of the space when you are ready to leave. You don’t have to line up with the lines while driving backwards, and it’s easier to keep from hitting other cars as well. So why back in? To me, the only advantage I can think of is that you...

Scrollone,

The second reason is why all Amazon employees must park in reverse.

Scrollone,

You cannot even pay $400 Adobe anymore. Now it’s only on subscription

Scrollone,

I agree, but trust me: Voyager is the best webapp I’ve ever tried. It truly feels like a native app.

Scrollone,

Please God, give us Aaron Schwartz back and take Spez. Thanks!
