The Quuuuuill

yeah. i’m fully willing to believe a bunch of these tech ceos are neurodivergent as they claim. HOWEVER. we all know neurodivergent people who don’t weaponize their neurodivergence to justify eugenics, mass surveillance, or just plain being shitty to people. we don’t have to respect your autism excuse when you do something shitty and then ask you why you did that.

so die off the exact same way netscape did, in the process learning absolutely nothing

people been saying how we as a society measure browser usage is all wrong. i’ve thrown up my hands at this point. the people with the most to gain from correcting this systemic failure, mozilla, have fully committed to sacrificing everything that made themselves valuable. i will continue to use the outcome of their work, at least in part, via zen at work and librewolf at home. as they continue to chase a market that isn’t there—people who don’t want to use a browser with the problems of chrome, but with all the problems of chrome—maybe at some point they’ll realize that they are wasting time and resources on a lost cause and dedicate themselves to some other course of action. but at this point i have more hope that zen and librewolf contributors will fork gecko, switch to goana, or servo will grow into something than that mozilla will ever get their shit together.

ipad requests desktop sites and so displays in desktop user agents

yeah you’ll have to install some helper scripts or switch to either fish or zsh. bash is nicer than bourne shell, but it is VERY basic in features by modern standards

(originally debuted in the mid aughts)

the regulations on intensity never presumed we’d use such small arrays to produce that intesity. in the cabin, the lights projected onto the road don’t seem that different from 20 years ago. but from the other way it’s dazzling

my c posts in my 2020 car are so big that i frequently have no idea there’s a pedestrian right in front of me about to enter a crossing. it stresses me out

CoMaps is GOATed. i need to make some edits in my neighborhood

what’s google got to do with it? this is an article about a product develeped at GitHub (now a microsoft subsidiary) causing problems with Windows and the thumbnail is showing produts from the following companies:

• facebook
• discord
• microsoft
• microsoft
• microsoft
• microsoft

like. look. i hate google. they partner with israel to conduct genocide (don’t use waze, btw, or better yet, don’t use any google products). but this seems like not looking at the whole of how evil all of big tech is just to focus on how evil one company in big tech is

“unused ram is wasted ram”

yeah yeah yeah, great. but all you motherfuckers did that and i’m fucking out of ram.

sometimes lemmy doesn’t mark messages you’ve read and replied to as read, so voyager continues to show as red. the real question isn’t “do i have the notification number” it’s “has the notification number changed”

for me, inbox zero will remain 105 until i decide to empty the whole thing

when consistent branding supersedes accessibility in priorities

they’ve been addicted to copying apple’s homework since 2018, even back when usability studies were showing android had the more accessible ux. but under capitalism, the market will always lead competitors to copy each other until all choice is washed away leaving de-personalization

i find this a little difficult to believe when china develops and promotes their own linux distro and desktop environment

i’m presuming people are using a just enough os (JEOS) distro to install a gui of their choice and steam and not much else.

are you asking which linux distros work or which distros steam works on? i’m having trouble squaring either question since any distro with guided installer is trivial to get set up once you know how to get into UEFI/BIOS and steam runs fantastic on linux. did you try steam on linux recently and run into issues? what distro did you try? do you have nvidea hardware?

wait till you find out companies that operated in South Korea had to support Internet Explorer until 2020

not… sure how i’m fanboing for android here when i’m saying that both google and apple are complicit in genocide and you should, if you can, do business with neither
