If I were to end up doing it (too many things I would like to do, too little time), I’d do it foss. At most I’d paywall features that have an ongoing cost (like hosting or server costs), though I am a bigger fan of keeping things local. That way its simpler and also easier to trust.

Personally, I think that paying for software isn’t a bad thing as long as the price is right and the licensing reasonable (I really hate unnecessary subscriptions). Devs (specially if working on complex stuff) got to eat too, and sometimes donations aren’t enough.

You are comparing Apples to oranges. While it may be true that Linux may have more software available, in my experience macOS has a shit ton of productivity software as well, and many times, due to being for-profit, of higher quality. That’s exactly why I’ve been thinking about giving my own try to making a launcher like Raycast for Linux.

That’s interesting. With how many of them there are and knowing that many species eat them, I would have expected that at least some of them would suffer in some way.

Hard to say. Mosquitos, is probably not one of them because even as much as we hate them, many animals prey on them, so unless other insect replaces them as a food source for those animals, them disappearing would probably affect many other species and subsequently, other species that may feed or depend in some form on those that feed on mosquitos.

My answer would probably be ticks, since I don’t think there’s many animals that feed on them and their only usefulness is population control, which should be doable by other species either way.

Edit: bed bugs as well, since it was mentioned by other commenters, I hate those fuckers and last I checked they weren’t any animal’s primary food source.

The spanish right has no moral ground to stand on for MANY things. The problem is that they continue to act like the past doesn’t exist and they have never done anything wrong. Hypocrisy at its best.

The only thing I want is proper support for desktop addons on mobile.

I think our choices don’t matter. Unless there are actual competitors with actual relevance in the industry that do the right thing and we are not priced out of supporting them, the only way is to make laws against this crap. Not that it’s easy, but it’s the most realistic way, I think. Unless, of course, we all join together and look for a way to make ethical clothing that is not too expensive (all while praying that the big brands won’t crush us with their infinite money)

I mean, in Windows they literally have a “saved games” folder and almost no games use it. I too hate that most fucking games have to save their shit to the Documents directory. That’s the directory FOR MY FUCKING DOCUMENTS, NOT GAME SAVEDATA

I consider trackpads to emulate the touch of the screen (so like a phone). So natural scrolling for me.

Well, “great interface” is debatable. It is decent, but far from being comparable to Sync. It feels like an Android app that hasn’t received a UI update in quite a bunch of years.

The Russians lost 19 million Russian civilians in the war, why would they care about the Jews?

Nevermind the fact that it was Russia itself that treated (and keeps treating) its soldiers as cannon fodder

That’s a fair question.

Usually not much, so I have too started to log in far less frequently. However, as an example, I did get in touch once again with an old friend thanks to it (and we are still in touch), so it did help quite a bit in that regard. But I understand your point and I have been thinking about leaving the platform anyway due to all the privacy shitshow.

It’s not the same and you know it. I have the same issue with Instagram. Many of our interactions through the platform come from us reacting to each other’s content (posts, stories, comments). Without that you lose a lot of “spontaneous” interaction.

Because religion is still the brainwashing machine that set it in motion.

Saying that it’s all because religion and not blaming the father is stupid, but so is ignoring the importance of religion as a control tool.

It’s funny seeing the replies to your comment crying about “not brigading” but then the vast majority of the comments in this post come from hexbear users commenting tankie shit

I mean, almost complete disappearance of smaller phones is kinda puzzling?

Yeah, my bad there, I understood the previous comment as somewhat of a “Well I don’t understand how people can like big phones”.

My guess is, as with many other things, corporations pushed towards a certain thing (big phones in this case) enough to make it the default and then the bigger audience just stopped caring as a result.

It is interesting indeed, but I guess that’s just it, aside from the obvious fact that the bigger the space, the easier is to design stuff (my previous comment + better heat dissipation + more space for cameras), so probably a mixture of all of these things together and a couple more.

People want big phones for some reason

Bigger battery, better for content consumption and overall usage if you use it frequently. It’s not that weird, yet you treat it as if we were talking about aliens.

I’ve had both iPhones and Androids at several points in my life (just recently switched from and iPhone 11 to an S23 Ultra).

For the most part, I find Android devices to be plain better. More features, more freedom… you know, the usual. The only thing I find to be better on the iPhones is that, as a frontend developer and someone who loves seeing nice UX on apps, I feel like 3rd party native apps are usually much better and much more frequent on Apple devices than on Android ones. When I participate in macOS development communities, it also feels like devs enjoy much more developing for macOS/iOS/iPadOS than the alternatives.

But as said, as a device, I much rather prefer Android phones.

Tbf, I simply didn’t see it because I stopped reading halfway through. On the other hand, “tranny” is right at the beginning (and I think somewhere else too), and they seem to intentionally misgender Empress quite a few times, so they stick out quite a lot.

Haha, I’d very much appreciate it myself if it were the case. I don’t think you are losing anything if you try to do so.
