I don’t know what’s sadder, people paying attention to some incels obsessing about women or people paying attention to celebrities and met gala.


That would motivate the kids for sure.
Most of the time it’s not like they are meeting other people. The commitments are like family visits every other week, traveling, studying, fixing something at home and so on. Occasionally it’s some birthday party or something. It’s mostly that everyone is busy all the time. Which I do understand but it takes a lot of of effort to organize something.


if any, and we can’t convince product that making sure the feature works, or fixing bugs on a 2-3% browser is priority.
That’s exactly the problem. If all the people that should know better promoted Firefox in stead of shitting on Mozilla it would not be 2-3% browser. Linux is hitting 5% market share and it’s way more complicated to switch OS than a browser. It doesn’t make sense that even less people user Firefox. Of course it’s just my opinion but I believe that consistent effort from the community to warn people about Chrome and promote Firefox would help it keep sufficient market share to stay relevant. Instead, even here on lemmy, people love to complain about Mozilla and promote other browsers. So yeah, great job everyone.


No, it’s absolutely not like oil & gas. Average person has very little impact on the energy policy of their country but has huge impact on the browser they are using. And I’m not talking about the ignorant people using the default browser without understanding the difference between Chrome and Google. I’m talking about all the technically literate people that should known better but chose to use Chrome because it’s slightly more convenient. The people that attack Mozilla for not being able to compete with Google with fraction of their resources. When the only way to browse the web is with Google account I will definitely remember those people.
More like anti-murdering-and-dismembering-of-journalists.


I all for spreading hate of graphene os devs* but I don’t think Fairphone is doing anything like that. Any proof?
*Just kidding. I think they are toxic but and their opinions on many topics should be ignored but there’s no need to hate anyone.
Maybe they died?
For me the issue is that everyone is always busy.
Me: hey, how about we meet next Friday
Person1: I can only do Sunday from 17 to 19
Person2: I can only do Saturday
Person3: I can do Sunday but from 19 to 21
Person4: I can only do the Friday after that
Or even better, they take 5 days to reply and in the end say something came up.
But once I manage to find the one date that fits most people and plan something people do show up.


I always thought recommendation algorithm will do it but the progress stopped at some point. We had apps recommending videos, music, feeds, news and so on for a long time but it never evolved into recommended careers or recommended places to live. Not in the sense where some algorithms that tracks you all the times tells you what your next important life choice should be. I don’t know anyone who’s using AI like that yet but I can see it happening in the future.


GrapheOS doesn’t like anyone. I don’t even think they should be treated as part of open phone community. They are hostile to everything that they didn’t make.


Thanks for checking. That clarifies things a lot.
I guess we’re fucked. reCaptcha is not used for visiting websites but for registering or submitting form. I can think of couple of cases where I’m required to complete captcha for online shopping or, ever worse, for work. Step by step they will force us all to either use approved devices or be locked out of big parts of the internet.
This is of course thanks to all the people shitting on Firefox over the years and saying that Chrome is just better and that there’s nothing wrong with giving Google control over the web. So yeah, thanks.


99% of internet users don’t know what a torrent is.


Oh, I thought they are talking about browsing on their phones.
That still makes very little sense. What if someone has an iPhone? What if I am browsing on my phone? What if I don’t have my phone near me? This sounds like some optional, extreme case feature. Like when they are pretty much sure you’re a bot but the website optionally gives you last one chance to prove you’re not instead of just rejecting your request.


At that point, reCAPTCHA will forgo the old image puzzles and require you to scan a QR code with your smartphone to prove you’re human.
What is that supposed to mean? What QR code? Just any? I’m supposed to find some QR code laying around and scan it? Or will the webpage display a QR and I’m supposed to scan it with my phone using a mirror or something?
When I was in high school my older brother brought a cookbook with recipes from around the world. I tried to make couple that were fairly easy to make and was amazed by the taste. I couldn’t believe food can have that much flavor. I later realized it’s not that the recipes was so special. My mother’s food was simply very bland. Not bad, but it was just variations of salt and sour. I don’t make or miss any of her recipes. She makes very good deserts tough.
Celebrities dressing up to promote crazy expensive brands in a event sponsored by Bezos. Yeah, that’s for sure the kind of art we should be cheering for.
