Websites have already been „done“ by the GDPR and the companies just implemented the measures with a clear malicious intent, bullying their users into compliance and blaming the horrible cookie banners they implemented on the EU.

Sometimes Prime Video in Germany also used to have only the dubbed versions of tv shows and movies. It was infuriating that I couldn’t watch the original versions. The service was also generally buggy and poorly made. I canceled Prime because it was so bad.

Yes that would restore some of the worst changes but the US has been classified as a flawed democracy for quite some time now and I don’t see how it could be fixed without major changes that will certainly be opposed by many Americans as they tend to treat the constitution like holy scripture and would not accept major changes to it.

Actually i remember some short indie game based on this.

Sounds like a fun idea for a game jam or something

Yeah but companies want full control and no ad blockers. That’s why they’re pushing shoddy Electron apps over their web experiences and PWAs.

I‘m one of them. I already only used Windows for gaming and seeing where this OS is going, made me try Linux again and this time might be the first time I might stick with it, thanks to Bazzite.

Games run incredibly well and compatibility is surprisingly good at this point. The only exception are games with invasive anti-cheat like the new Battlefield. But I guess it’s just a pro that I won’t buy a game that essentially has malware included with it.

There are tons of ways to make coffee and each tastes slightly different and some beans are better suited to be prepared in different styles. If people wanna enjoy coffee in a certain style, just let them. It’s fine that you like instant coffee but others might wanna prepare their coffee differently.

There are plenty of good Jellyfin players too. I‘m currently using Discrete and I‘m quite happy with it.

Come on, where are AI deepfakes if you need them?

I mean the whole website is a joke at this point. Check the major events timeline on this page. It’s completely ridiculous.

Who should the CDU have a coalition with then? _/s

A few months ago the CEO tweeted that he supported Trump and his policies. The most ironic part was that he’s an immigrant himself but lives in Switzerland.

Not sure if anything else happened since.

with today’s overwhelming and constant information and notification overload

If that’s the reason, I think there’s an issue with managing notifications. Limit them to important people and there won’t be much more mental clutter than in the past.

Ghosting people for other reasons if completely fine though and is not the same at all as ignoring them in real life.

The glass ones are so nice and you can use them to heat things in the oven (without the lid) in a pinch as well

That’s quite an interesting take. I also noticed that it’s magnitudes better at coding with common frameworks and often sucks with more niche applications.

Meta is also planning to drop its native WhatsApp Windows app in favor of a web wrapper version soon, in what looks like a move to simplify WhatsApp development.

So they are just going back to what they had before, probably to save money.

But don’t they have AI now which makes development so much faster, easier and cheaper? It’s these things where you can see these companies are full of bullshit.

I‘m working as a freelance web developer with creative agencies to create websites or applications and maintain existing projects. Mostly in PHP with a frontend written in HTML / CSS and some JS.

I also had trouble getting into coding initially since I’m a pretty visual thinker but a university course called „coding for designers“ that taught programming in Processing finally got me into it. In it you didn’t start with a boring ass calculator but make pictures and later games with a simple IDE.

In addition to intentional manipulation, AI might hallucinate things that aren’t there when used in computational photography when it’s trying to fill in the gaps.

Blurry cloud? Now it’s a weird looking airplane.

I read the BBC article but why would she even have to prove anything? That dumb ass conspiracy theorist should be obligated to prove their bullshit made up claim and lose the case.

Edit: I get it, they are suing and therefore need to provide prove. Still pretty fucked up.

I was wondering about that with some of the recent removals as well: Why not just a PWA?

Something like Voyager or Phanpy runs excellent when installed as a PWA and especially with Phanpy I‘m not even missing a native app or „wrapper app“.
