I’ve been using LawnChair, and they’ve dropped the feature for some time. I think it was being re-written from scratch. It just got back in the last month or so.

Way beyond fist shaking here. My brain simply doesn’t process the trendy flat UX. It looks like when my kitchen garbage can tips over. A piece of carrot here, empty milk crate over there, sprinkled with onion peels, and some unidentified goop that I only discover later in the evening, using my bare feet, while getting a cup of water…

What’s weird though is that I similarly hate the circle android icons. They all kinda blend together like a bowl of skittles. Make them squircle though… instantly recognizable!

Hope not. The new translation tools is great.

For a relatively long time I was under the impression that Servo is pretty advanced, but after the last weeks news, I’m not so sure anymore.

Tough question. I don’t think the descendants of european, asian and african settlers are going back home any time soon.

Sure, advertising your secret plans in public might not be the best idea, regardles of the medium.

From the technical standpoint, internet has never been more secure and private. The amount of plaintext shit that was literally flying over the air just a decade ago was terrifying.

… is the most upvoted stackoverflow answer.

Superman himself is invulnerable, the rest of the world isn’t

Go watch The Boys!

What I like: The effort and persistence of the developers

What I dislike: The ActivityPub protocol.

The value of an art piece is always subjective. The price (closest thing we have to the objective value) is determined by the buyers.

What other mechanism would there be? A committee? That’s a bit nazi for my taste. A popular vote? Look at the election results to see why that might be a bad idea.

The theme is a bit touchy these days, especially in certain small country in eastern europe, where the new minister started to cut subsidies to the art she considers unworthy, obscene and politicized, in favor of art reflecting so called traditional values and national identity. The mere existence of the ministry of culture, established with the most noble goal of supporting art, creates this kind of potential vulnerability.

With both Samsung and Google interested in XR hardware

After how they handled the GearVR, I sure as hell am not going to buy anything VR related from Samsung. Perfectly good hardware bricked by removing the software from the internet.

That’s because they’re not going to actually do it.

What are the capitalists doing to prevent you from expressing artistically?

So the native gnu userspace will become the third most used desktop linux runtime :P

This has nothing to do with Google Play services. Replacing the google services with another proprietary crap would be nothing (and cost relatively nothing) compared to building an entire operating system almost from scratch. This is a dick measuring contest. Although the chinese dick is shiny and impressive in this regard so far.

Plus, even google is playing with the idea of dropping linux, with the Fuchsia project.

I just love how google has pushed the narrative that the space up top is scarce, therefor no more than 4 persistent notifications can show up there, only to rediscover all that free real estate now.

If it’s not the default behavior, the target audience of the ads will not do it.

It is one of the most widely used health metrics but also one of the most reviled, because it is used to label people overweight, obese or extremely obese.

That’s like blaming the ruler for labeling you too short or too tall… Can’t we just use the tool for rough assessment, while being aware of its limitations, and be happy about it?

First time I’ve bought a burger in the school cafeteria, I considered just throwing it out after the first bite. 15 years later I still sometimes crave the cheap patty and gummy bun with ketchup… and pieces of raw cabbage.
