Ah, they're all crap.

Came to Teams from Slack, some upsides, some downsides. It's a corporate communication tool, I don't use it because I think it's beautiful and elegant, I use it because I get paid money to use it.

Usually this indicates that the drainage cycle is repeated again and again as the wash is still "too wet".

Could have all kinds of reasons, check the drain sieve in particular, mine had this silver "sheen" clogging everything that was packed and hardened bits of plastic and fibre mushed together.

Awww, it's trying its best!

Fully agreed! And while we're at it, get rid of Power Pivot!

Probably, yes? Printed paper is quite cheap, compared to sticker material. Negligible as the per-square-meter cost of both is, and how many more stickers you get out of one.

Yeah and it seems to be accelerating. I noticed just this week how multiple companies had "We're also updating on Bluesky now, here's our official acount:"-posts.

I mean it makes sense to target these people. If you're stupid enough to believe the shit Musk or Trump spout, you're also stupid enough to not see these very obvious scams.

After my GPS 3 Ultra, never buying MobVoi again, ugh.

Such a sad experience. Started out well, got updates 2-3 years later after apps stopped working due to the old OS version, and then those updates broke the entire experience.

The hardware is really nice. The software is so bad that I go out with a Wundr watch half the time now. A mechanical watch. Yes. Because fuck Mobvoi and their way of making you appreciate non-smart watches.

I’m sure Google wants to keep the difficulty level for end users high enough that it remains niche.

I really do not think they need to. We tech communities massively overestimate the desire and even contextual awareness (and desire to have such awareness) of regular users to engage with these topics.

Keep in mind that the vast majority of Firefox users - a browser inherently more used by tech-savvy people! - have 0 addons installed. And probably 0 desire to change this. Or to even waste thought seconds on considering whether to change it.

To users, smartphones are tools. Like hammers. If it stops being a useful hammer, do you take the head off and re-forge it? No, you buy a different hammer that does what you need it to do.

I don't think they do it actively. There's just not a big enough issue for them in custom ROMs to even bother doing something about it.

Rather, they got other issues to tackle and custom ROMs are so off their radar, they get swept up simply because nobody cares (either way) to check.

I mean there's probably a lot who don't, but they're busy firing missiles at civilians in Ukraine to get around their 15y work camp sentence.

Always gets me back to the Dr House scene about the mom who doesn't want to vaccinate her kid.

 

Some more info in the Wikipedia article. And yes, this is about DC Solar, which I guess many americans will know but as someone from europe this was totally new to me.

Wild just how far he got running this shit.

 

I mean, he's not wrong that the app wasn't ready. Which begs the question why they didn't un-roll-it-out. >.>

 

From the pdf:

After the Sun, the closest star to us is a small Red Dwarf star, Proxima Centauri. It is too faint to be seen without using a sizeable telescope. It is 4.24 light years away, so in our model, which is 1:1 billion scale, it is 40,140 kilometres away. This is approximately the distance around the circumference of the world from Melbourne to Melbourne.

That's extremely nerdy, I love it.

 

So I mean, most of us knew this beforehand and being on the fediverse we probably do not really care, but what was always on the horizon has no happened, the owner of Squabblr finally had enough having to be a decent person and has decided that his site is now "free speech purism", so he gets to continue to insult LGBTQ people like he always does.

Seems from the comments that some other admins disagreed with the decision (so there were some decent people on that site!) and either left or were removed.

Not entirely surprising the whole thing, granted.

(edit)
Also, apologies as this isn't truly reddit news but Squabblr was one of the sites frequently brought up in /r/redditalternatives so I figured this might still be relevant?
