It’s one of those “it depends” things. I’ve been working on a pretty data-dense webapp and as time goes on we’ve been shaving bits of padding off and instead relying on elevation and borders to signify the UI hierarchy of the app.
For normie apps where there’s hardly anything to present, I think all the spacing helps people not get overwhelmed as much.
There’s a PR open (https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/214) but I’m assuming Ernest has a million other things going on right now too.
Yeah, they’re not pushing it because it matches some far-right authoritarian ideology Meta itself has, they’re pushing it because conservatives taunting libs who fall for it and try to talk reason into conservatives drives tons of engagement.
about the Lemmy devs
I mean, the devs haven’t made it a secret about how they fully believe Chinese nationalist propaganda.
Not that it really matters though, since if any issues did come up, Lemmy itself would be forked with new devs “in charge” even if the original devs still continued most of the work. The lemmy.ml instance itself would be a different issue, though.
FPS’s seemed boring, online games couldn’t keep my attention long enough to get through a match, and eventually I’d just leave a game on the pause menu while I messed around mindlessly on my phone.
My partner does this.
One, you might have ADHD. I can’t say, but you could look into it.
Secondly, you need to have some time to let your brain rest. When you bounce between tasks like that, you’re never actually not doing something. People think of doomscrolling as taking a break, but really you’re replacing your intended task with another task and there isn’t a time where you do no task.
I see a lot of people talking about specific parts of 5G but honestly most of them are optional and only some of them will be active at once.
“Regular” 5G uses the same frequencies as 2G, 3G, etc. The carriers will be moving more frequency ranges of older Gs to 5G as time goes on.
In general, we can send more data at once because we have better math for sending data. There’s not really an ELI5 that can explain that part besides more math.
Another part is there’s also more math so that the phones can take turns talking better or split up frequencies better, so they don’t have to re-transmit as much.
If you’re in hyper-crowded areas, they made a new frequency range that cannot go through walls, but is way faster than the regular ones that we’ve been using. It’s only good for like sports stadiums and stuff, and you almost never use this. It’s called mmwave (millimeter-wave) and you can safely ignore any marketing around it. Not many phones support it yet because it’s useless 99% of the time.
the boss could technically read anything we wrote
My old work actually ran into some issues because they couldn’t see DMs/private channels.
Maybe this is a cloud vs. self-hosted thing? It’s been a few years since I’ve worked there though.
Is that some sort of ISP-level block?
Sounds like you need a VPN.
I don’t mean that it’s not old, I mean that it’s still got some more room for improvement. Passkeys, for instance, are an attempt at improving the user experience.
If your service works with Wireguard, you can use the first-party Wireguard client instead of the VPN clients. iOS may be an exception, I’m not sure.
Just that I will never trust any company who spends as much on marketing as they do.
IIRC free tier on ProtonVPN blocks whatever peer to peer traffic they can detect.
I wouldn’t worry about privacy within the contents of the VPN though, as a lot of their services do require money so they should have quite a lot of funding through the paying users (like me.)
They do what they can to promote as much privacy as possible, but email really doesn’t lend itself well to that just in general. I would always suggest accessing any clearnet site through a VPN or Tor if you do sensitive work online.
I’d also imagine at least part of it is the same as how normal people seem to think ADHD people with amphetamine prescriptions are just constantly high.
They don’t realize that whatever good feelings they’re getting from taking 100mg of amphetamines at once don’t apply at all to people chronically on small extended doses.
It still defends against one failure mode (the website gets hacked but you’re ok) but yeah, obviously if you get hacked and the hacker knows how to get your vault out then you’re 100% screwed.
My suggestion is always hardware 2FA, even though it’s not as mature as the other systems. Personally I have two Yubikeys (in case one breaks/gets lost) but it does mean that I need to add TOTPs to both of them each time I add a new 2FA.
On another topic, there are rumors circulating that we are fascists or supported genocide.
This is the part that I think will make it more difficult, since I imagine there are quite a few devs that would rather contribute to projects by less politically-outspoken project owners.
(I would also note that they don’t deny being tankies, and tankies tend to insist they aren’t fascists. They also deny the Uyghur genocide so they have that going for them too.)
It’s the voting system that does it imo. When everyone just shouts random thoughts into the void hoping it goes viral the overall quality tends to be low. It makes for a decent RSS feed, but so do RSS feeds.
I would assume the same way any other system with untrusted nodes works: with the client authenticating by use of a cryptographic signature on everything they submit.
$70 is typical for that, except it’s 30GB of data for the month before they reduce you to around 25kB/s.
