All I wanted was the ancient horse armor to summon Epona. I basically don’t ever use horses because it’s just so Inconvient to

X11, because I haven’t figured out how to get Wayland to work with my Nvidia 1070. One day I’ll put in the effort, or finally upgrade my card. But for now it’s fine

It basically is. AFAIK, there’s no browser based way for steam chat, Google messages, or snapchat. I’m sure there are others too.

The biggest advantage I can think of is notification integration. The ‘tabs’ do give notification counts. You can minimize to the system tray so it doesn’t have to be open. It would be seperate from your web browser, so if you have 30 tabs open like I do it’ll be less cluttered. But it’ll send notifications to the desktop with snippets of the message, like a popup on your phone. Also, even if you clear all your cookies/browser history etc., since it’s seperate from the browser, you don’t have to worry about logging in again.

I use ferdium.

It’s combines every app/website I want to be connected to. Snapchat Lemmy Element Gmail Google tasks Discord Google messages Mastadon Steam chat FB messenger Proton mail Microsoft teams Telegram Slack Github Icloud

You can even add custom services, although I haven’t tried to do it. The only one missing is signal.

It is desktop only though

I’d still call bullshit. Done attacks will be useless. People desire drugs. They’ll find a way.

The problem is supply and demand. If people want to use drugs, they’re going to either way. We need to make the drugs ourselves and create harm reduction centers. Attack the problem at home.

For real, if I was buying FDA regulated MDMA at Walgreens, there would be a virtually 0 percent chance of me accidentally getting addicted to fentanyl.

Pre-installed is the biggest factor. Go to Walmart or best buy. You’ll find windows and Mac and chromebooks.

I don’t think it’s “laziness” per se, but rather people aren’t that technically inclined. It’s too much of a challenge for the average person especially when they don’t understand the benefits.

The only one that really pissed me off was a distro called biglinux. It’s arch based and very popular in Brazil. It’s actually very stable. Everything works great. It’s got some nice features.

Butttt, it uses latte dock or panel (kde). They have built in presets for how to arrange the panels and what not. It’s nice, however, I was trying to move some panels around from the base options and broke kde. I wasn’t doing anything more than changing GUI settings and the whole desktop broke. I seriously don’t understand.

Agreed.

And we should give extra points to people who grew up in disadvantaged situations but still had decent grades. A ‘C’ in AP History by someone working a job in high school, is just as good as someone who got an ‘A’ And didn’t have to work.

Merit isn’t just a good GPA. It takes into account all of the things that made it some more difficult for a person. Getting a decent score on an SAT exam when you went to a shit school, should be able to get you into a good college. But the reality is someone who lived in a zip code with better schools is more likely to get into that college purely by where they grew up. And you tend to grow up in a good neighborhood if you’re parents were well off or had a degree themselves.

Purely looking at grades and scores is bad. Unfortunately, people of color tend (not always) be from worse neighborhoods. They tend to have a lot of disadvantages when it comes to getting good grades and good scores. Affirmative action is/was supposed to break the cycle. It’s supposed to help give a little more merit to the situations surrounding grades Ultimately, it’s supposed to diversify the nicer neighborhoods.

Not great logic saying that Germany would have. But he does have a small point. A lot of our reason for developing it was because we thought Germany had been working on it. Our development started before Germany had been defeated and we had reason to believe (via espionage) that they at least had collected the materials needed, and had scientists familiar with the physics. After the war, we discovered that their program was no where close to actually making a bomb. We probably could have, and maybe should have stopped once Germany fell.

I blame apple for this. They are using imessage and the green bubbles as marketing to get people to buy their hardware. So it’s either you talk to people with iPhones or you use sms.

Meanwhile Google has been trying to get apple to use RCS for years. I would be curious if RCS and iMessage are susceptible. I didn’t see anything about them when I glanced through your link.

Oh my god! Thank you. I just made my post about those exact same two gripes. Its so rare to see people complain about it and I really don’t understand why.

I’m glad I’m not the only one

Yeah problem is that is usually works. It work often enough that you get used to it. But then an app comes along that doesn’t use it and its infuriating. Android has ALWAYS had a os based back button, so implementing gestures means they just work.

I used the iPhone 12 mini for about a year before I gave up and went back to android. Some of my thoughts:

I don’t actually understand your comment about apps being easier to find. There is no way to organize them alphabetically. You can’t choose which folders they go in. It’s only “easier” because people default to searching for apps. Which is very annoying to me personally. My GF does it that way. But I really don’t like it.

I am a little jealous of IOS widgets and the ecosystem. While I haven’t tried a pixel watch yet, the apple watch is absolutely amazing and it’s the only real reason for me considering to go back.

My two biggest gripes is that there is a serious inconsistency in their apps. I never hear people talk about it. But some apps, have their settings inside the actual apps. Other apps are you tied into the apple settings app. Most apps use gesture navigation. Some, especially older ones, don’t react to it and still rely on a back button in the top left. Which was a good option when the phone were sub 5", but not anymore.

Other stuff, while the ecosystem is great, being locked into it is extremely annoying. Not being able to put a torrent app on the phone is annoying. There’s still a lot of things you cant do.

Maybe I’ll buy the iPhone 16, I seem to try it out every 4 or 5 years. But I doubt they’ll fix anything other than the back button, because no one really complains about it.

Oh boy. I’m not the kind of person that rewatches shows, but I’ve seen Yu Yu Hakusho 3 times and HxH twice. Both of them are just so excellent. I had no idea they were by the same guy. That’s awesome

Without a paddle. I haven’t seen it in a few years but I remember just absolutely cracking up over it.

Not see it. But I hear this one.

“it’s always in the last place you look”

No shit Sherlock. Why would I keep looking after I found it?

This is the main reason I used infinity on reddit. I’ve found a good site is scrolller.com

Might be a good substitute for you.

Yeah. Lots of people give it shit, but it does really “just work”. I’m using endeavor right now and considering swapping back to Manjaro, mostly because I cannot for the life of me figure out why SMB won’t work. Manjaro is the only distro I’ve had it work properly with little to no effort.

Factorio. All about letting the factory grow.

I also started playing wizards of legend recently. It takes maybe 20 minutes to get through the tutorial, then it’s just game. I’m enjoying it so far

Nicely put. I recently bought a new house and was thinking about this same concept. I moved to a area with a high COL, but the markup on houses was much higher than other goods (still high, but not as big).

So when applying for my loan, they use debt to income ratios to determine if you’re eligible. So let’s say you bought a house and the price (yearly) was 50% of your income. If one house was at 500k and the other at 200k, your 50% for other goods is vastly different. My mortgage came out to 3600/month, right about 50%. But that still leaves another 3600 for other goods. If my mortgage was 50% at 1200, then I would have 1200 leftover for other goods, which just doesn’t go nearly as far. But the bank sees these two scenarios as exactly the same.
