I heard video killed the radio star.

Turns out reading speed and retention is better with dark text on a light background. I always use automatic switching when available… Light during the day and dark at night.

Unless it’s my code editor, if someone switches my code editor to light mode I’ll murder them.

That is what I’ve heard. Like digital painting and stuff.

Haven’t used Facebook in probably a decade, but as a photographer Instagram is still the most active platform I’ve tried. Vero is weird. PixelFed is pretty empty, mostly people’s snapshots. Others either cost money or aren’t really good on mobile.

DESCRIPTION Lavender is an AI system that produces lists of Palestinians to be targeted for assassination by the Israeli military "with little human oversight and a permissive policy for casualties", according to +972 Magazine.

Big yikes.

What?! They have very unique squiggles and bright colors! No one else is doing that.

I really don’t get the logic of redesigns like this or The Verge. Was the design team just told, “traffic is down make it look new so we can post a blog about it”?

I usually hear it from one of two camps (or both at the same time).

1. The world (read capitalist economy) can’t continue to grow without ever-growing population.
2. The (Christian) Bible says that sex is for making babies. Getting married implies having sex. So, if you’re getting married you’d better be making babies.

Awesome, thanks for sharing!

Man, 5 years. I know nothing about building a browser, but that seems… Long.

This is a welcome change, but took waaay too long. I switched to Bitwarden a long time ago and have no plans on changing now.

And you can just… Turn them off. No questions asked. DuckDuckGo is a great example of how an advertising company can be both financially viable and respecting of user-choice.

Google could let users choose to opt out of seeing any ads across their network for free today and still be one of the most profitable companies in existence. A huge percentage of users wouldn’t know or care to turn ads off, another percentage actually wants them, and for advanced users they could offer more advanced, useful features for money.

But try pitching that to stakeholders and upper-management lol

I’m assuming one would still be able to switch to a local account after installation, but you really shouldn’t need to. What a shit show.

Fear of the defendant should not influence sentencing. That said, pretty minimal chance of jail time for this. Two-tier system and all that.

This was the plus side for me, too. I couldn’t care less who sees what I post on social media, but (so far) at least my information here isn’t harvested to target ads to me. In fact, I had gotten so used to seeing ads on Reddit and Twitter that I was numb to it. After a year+ here, when I go back to check on those, it’s all I notice and it’s terrible.

If they said that they went “back” to Windows, why would you assume a MacBook?

You’re right, my bad.

I would agree way this, with one caveat: Does OP plan to game on Linux?

Gaming on Linux has come very far, but it’s not perfect and not something you can really get a feel for in a USB live environment. At that point rather to dual boot and try sticking with Linux for a while.

On the other hand, I didn’t sign up for Prime but have had it for 2 months now. Have yet to be charged and I can’t access the page to cancel it.

Awesome, this was super helpful! I was using multiple monitors, so that may have been my issue, but actually just decided to go back to one the week. I haven’t had much gaming time this week, so I’ll see if the tearing is resolved.

Super excited for COSMIC!! I probably won’t upgrade right away, but the progress has looked awesome.
