I guess it is more following of people of certain topics that talk about them in twitter. Like someone follows few people abour their hobby, some politicians maybe, and people of other interests they have. I haven’t really gotten the idea that people use it to talk to friends per say, or follow them, but for sure people do that as well but maybe it is not the main point.
Though I could be spewing shit because I don’t use it. Just the vibe I’ve been getting over the years.
Thank fuck.
Though they’ll make opt-out soon enough, when the backlash has dwindled down.
People like to use things that are used by many people. Not that surprising.
I doubt most Windows users care enough to hate it.
And now they nuked the entire IA.
Well done.
Intentions were probably correct but this result is kinda ass.
He is proposing not to break them and work toward changing the law first.
Yup. Currently working at a company that has machines still running ms-dos due to them being critical and still working fine.
Well they’re fine until you can’t find replacement parts on Ebay anymore.
Man, I wish I could chromecast netflix from my phone but apparently Netflix now requires you to use their app.
I should get smarttube though.
Oh yeah that’s true, I should try it as I use it as my main search engine nowadays.
Man, and it works great. It is waaaaay more common to find good answers to a question from a bunch of randoms on the Internet than trying to get an actual answer from a random website. Sometimes you find bs but you can usually quite quickly filter it out, and it gives a good basis from which to then continue to search on the topic.
Something like docuwiki maybe, it looks like Wikipedia so everyone would immediately feel at home there.
Are you talking about YouTube? At least currently ublock is working fine in there and I have not encountered popups.
Waaaaaait I’ve never thought of using it for podcasts. Been using Pocket Cast but maybe I should take a look.
Interesting, thanks!
Really? Hmm interesting. Maybe I should take another peek at syncthing. Default settings or have you limited the sync frequency?
Oh yeah if it is integrated into the application then it’s much easier for sure.
People always mention nextcloud when it comes to syncing for e.g., Obsidian, but how do people use it with mobile? They never seem to actually use the local storage for anything, meaning you can’t map a local folder for use in the application (assuming it does not have the option to use cloud services). I know thay syncthing does use actual local folders, but doesn’t it use a fuck-ton of battery? I remember trying it a few years back and just could not due to it being a battery hog. Also tried the fork which helped but not by much.
I wish I could just use rsync but nooooo. Yes yes rooting is “possible”, which might just break shit or you need to use some masking to hide root from application to and jesus christ why the fuck is everything so annoyingly locked down god dammit. Rant over.
Havant tried termux + rsync tho.
This is interesting but issue with Perovskites is not efficiency per say, but it is degradation. It is a cool tech but their lifetime is measured in months and not decades. Here’s one study for instance. Perovskites might be where the tech is going but there are still major hurdles to overcome.
The materials that do the absorption are not effective across the entire wavelength spectrum of the sun. They can only absorb at a certain wavelength range, but the spectrum range of the sun is very wide.
Edit. Also other reasons, like recombination rate where the photon hitting the panel generates an electron-hole pair which is then collected and used for evegy, but electrons and holes tend to want to recombine, after which we cannot use them for evergy. We want this rate to be zero, but it never is, it is a probabilistic process. So even if you can absorb everything, you can’t utilise everything you absorb.
Some countries have limits to nfc payments with a card. Finland has 50e but with a phone no limits (unless the bank limits).
