I always assumed that they’re that way because a second chair would block the door.
Teams is such a confusing app. To start off, what is it meant to be? A frontend for onedrive? A chat app? A videocall app? It’s like microsoft’s attemp to make their own everything app. What was wrong with Skype? Actually, Teams shows up as “skypeforlinux” (complete with a Skype icon) in Pavucontrol, so is the videocalling part of teams just a re-packaged skype? Why does the web version of teams have its own integrated Excel which is slightly different from standard web excel? It feels like the UI was specifically designed to mislead. There is a list of icons on the left that allow you to switch between different contexts in the app. The visual design makes it look like a set of radiobuttons, except clicking on some of them twice does a different action… There is a home screen, and then also a second SUPER HOME screen!? I can’t even get angry it at for being a slow bloated jumble of spyware like the rest of microsoft’s garbage (which it is), I just feel a sense of morbid fascination every time I’m forced to use it. It feels like an AI-generated app from a future where AI is much more capable but still utterly fails at understanding humans. It’s the uncanny valley of user experience.
Not sure why the downvotes. I generally try to avoid extensions apart from ublock origin, but if I really need something, then I always get it from the developer’s github, not from chrome/firefox store. WAY TOO MANY cases of open-source extensions getting hijacked with malware on the store but not on github. Remember cookies.txt? Or great suspender? Or stylish?
The term “built-in” is a bit fuzzy here. Librewolf just uses ublock origin. It’s only “built-in” in the sense that it’s installed automatically
Any browsers with good built-in adblocker besides brave? I feel like firefox’s built-in content filtering does the very minimum, but I might be wrong
system-wide AdGuard
This is the way on mobile lol. The android rom I’m using comes with a built-in systemwide blocker, which I didn’t know about for a very long time, so I was very confused when I saw other people using the same apps as me and seeing ads lol.
I don’t know, maybe
…what? Insurance companies are not a “barrier” between doctors and patients. What, do you think some sort of insurance gremlin will manifest out of the ground and kick you in the nuts if you try to visit a doctor while uninsured? Doctors don’t care whether you’re insured or not, as long as they get paid. Insurance companies exist to soften the blow of expensive treatment. The product is not getting completely fucked over if you get very unlucky, just like with any other insurance (life insurance, car insurance, whatever). It’s kind of like bitcoin mining pools, but the other way around. Now, is mandatory health insurance justified? That’s a different discussion.
most of what I posted describe actual well known problems with Android. You would know that if you used Android.
Damn, you’re right, maybe I should do some reading on these “well known problems” that I haven’t once experienced in my three years of using android. Sounds pretty bad /s
^ Edgy sarcasm aside, everything you said really is news to me. Is there really that much difference between different android ROMs? I’m running /e/-os on my phone (lineageos fork), and I don’t think I’ve ever had issues with notifications or this “Doze” thing. I can’t say for lemmy app / youtube music tho, I don’t use those. Though I can relate a little bit to the third-party launcher thing – I have MLauncher, and a recent update just completely crippled the search functionality for no reason.
This looks like one of those PC/Console comparison memes from the early days of pcmasterrace. I like it!
TBH cable transfer on android can be pretty shit as well. Like, if you luck out with the MTP implementation on both your phone and your computer, then it Just Works ™. But in many cases (like mine) it’s a buggy mess. I used to have a script that would sync music from my laptop to my phone with rsync, and I would have to run it like three times to actually transfer everything, because each time like 10% of the files would just… not make it across the cable lol. Now I just do it over WIFI. I really wish we could go back to the old days when plugging in your phone would just expose the microsd card as a block storage device.
Hey, do you mind telling me where I can sign up for the apple shilling program? What are the rates like? Approximately how many shill posts do you make a day? Is it necessary to make lots of different alt accounts, or can I just shill from my main?
This post reminds me of those “attack helicopter” jokes from 2016, except this time it’s actually funny and not hurtful
I once ended up locked out of a bunch of accounts because my phone with the authenticator app died. Oof.
Nowadays I use a TOTP dongle instead of an app and write down all of the keys in a paper notebook. Never again!
Line up good when you have stonk. Line down good when you haven’t stonk yet.
Isn’t that also more or less the case with X11? From what I understand, if you try to use bare Xorg without any extensions like Xfixes and Xdamage, it’s pretty miserable
What do you mean by “handles multiple monitors poorly”? Is it something to do with scaling? The only issue I’ve encountered under X11 related to multihead is the inability to set different subpixel geometries for different monitors, but iirc wayland doesn’t let you do that either? Just curious what your usecase is
AFAIK bread is pretty rare in east asian cultures tho. Like obviously nowadays they have it but traditionally I think they mostly had rice occupy the role of bread. idk tho
