I can’t use the Internet on Mobile without an adblocker. The user experience is totally unbearable

I’m still waiting for offline bicycle, transit and WALKING directions. Why can’t it tell me which way to walk without internet but it can tell me how to drive a car??

Hexbear is mostly just trolls in my experience. They like to brigade any discussion involving Russia, China, Ukraine, etc.

Lemmy.ml is full of tankies that will also go out of their way to defend Russia and China but they aren’t just blatant trolls which is the difference.

Having controversial opinions isn’t the problem, trolling and brigading are

I honestly think a lot of these terms of service agreements are legally unenforceable, but they don’t get contested in court very often.

Like if they say “you consented to the arbitration agreement” I could just argue I never physically signed anything and it was actually my 5 year old who agreed so he could watch TV.

Guess it just depends but I see a lot of people interacting on certain topics and a lot of posts I make get a good amount of activity. I get way more interaction on my posts than I had on Twitter for instance.

Lemmy and Kbin should be pretty interoperable, but Lemmy and Mastodon don’t federate particularly well, or at least, the user experience of federation is not great. The formats are just very different since Mastodon doesn’t have much of a concept of groups or communities and doesn’t have post titles and so on.

But you can follow Lemmy communities from Mastodon and posts to the community will show up in your Mastodon feed, and you can boost, favorite (upvote), and comment on the post.

My retired mother was trying to look for a new Nintendo Switch dock for my niece. She asked me if she was looking at the right one on Amazon and showed me one with a picture of a real looking Nintendo Switch dock except the logo was blurred out.

I scrolled through the Amazon results and was having trouble figuring which was the real one. instead I went to the official Nintendo store and sent her the link to the switch dock from there.

Amazon is really a horrible user experience for buying anything that isn’t cheap junk.

I don’t understand the tab hoarder mentality. I can’t stand having too many tabs open it makes everyone disorganized and less useful.

My workflow is to open random links and searches in private tabs and then when I’m done with the search I just close the window and they’re all gone. I also split subsequt searches up into multiple private windows with a few tabs each so once I find what I need on one search I can close those and have the ones I’m still using ready. If there’s something I need to reference later I can move it over to the regular browser window or bookmark it.

Makes it easier to manage and doesn’t get out of hand that way.

Just peeking at the source code and it all looks like pretty standard stuff. Looks just like apps I’ve worked on at several jobs.

Is it sexy? No. But a lot of people have experience with this and could help develop.

Only time will tell if this project pays off though

Yeah same here. I tried searching a few days ago when another article first came out about this and I couldn’t find anything. Even using the links in the article.

Maybe the products were all removed in response to the article?

It’s buried in the settings, but you are right. Thanks for the tip!

If they could just add album sharing and maybe face/object tagging it would be pretty solid imo

They can just run ads without all the tracking bullshit and data collection like they do on every other medium with free ad supported content like radio and television. Somehow I can watch TV and listen to the radio for free and they manage to stay running without monitoring my every move.

Might be less profitable for them but so be it. Just because tracking helps their business doesn’t mean it is justified.

I’m trying it out since I just upgraded to proton unlimited.

It’s pretty barebones. It has automatic uploads but only from the camera folder. It does have the ability to share links, but no folder or album support for sharing. No face tagging or object recognition that Google does

The mobile experience of Firefox with ad block is so much better than Chrome. Using chrome on mobile makes the Internet feel broken to me. I can’t go back.

And speed and strength aren’t even the only attributes needed for effective hunting in the first place. Seems to me that a variety of skills would be beneficial

The other time would be for high demand skills that they can’t staff locally which only applies to certain industries like tech, etc. Even then it usually only makes sense if they’re getting top quality talent in those industries.

I consider myself to be a decent software engineer which is fairly in demand (even with recent layoffs imo), but even then I think I’d have a hard time finding a remote European job.

Oh and let’s not forget that for most engineering positions the salaries are usually lower in European companies. Unless they’d be willing to pay relative to where I live, it would probably mean a pay cut. And I doubt even the benefits would make it worth it given I’d still be living in the US with our private health insurance system, terrible/expensive transportation, etc.

If it offered relocation then that could make it worth it but that’s probably even more difficult to get hired for and has obvious downsides

Chrome on mobile is practically unusable for me. Without ad block the experience is horrible on mobile.

I still haven’t launched a rocket in this game. Every time I end up starting a new save before I make it that far.

To be fair this is how I play a lot of games so not just this one
