Calculatable
  • But it has been changed a lot?

    The most basic immediate execution four operation calculator might still look the same, but that's because it's a very simple thing and you can't really get much wrong. For scientific calculators the UI has changed lots. As have the requirements. It used to be a specialist tool used to do thousands of calculations daily. An expensive thing that had to earn its keep. RPN and stuff like that made sense for people who could easily get back weeks of training in just a few years of being slightly more efficient while working. Now we have the natural order delayed execution thing, because the calculators are mostly for students. Who need the UI to be as easy to grasp as possible, because they won't ever have to do enough calculations to benefit from a faster but harder UI. That doesn't mean any of those approaches to UI is better or worse. Some things require instructions and making everything idiot-proof shouldn't ever be the ultimate goal (check out modern computing for why!).

  • Youtube increases Family Plan price by 56%
  • It's funny, because sponsorblock and vanced only exist because of youtube's greed. And now I can't imagine using their service without them, even if they rollback the annoying ads. And they can't implement them. It's really the problem they made for themselves.

  • Is there any Podcast players that autoskip ads?
  • like others have pointed out, this makes automatic detection easier not harder if true. Just cut the segments that move around, audio analysis and even transcripts (they don't have to be good! just good enough to identify missing segment!) are pretty mature.

  • Where are the old (30s) granpa gamers?
  • It's somewhat based in reality, isn't it? I'm still gaming in my late 30s and most people I get to play with are on average 10-15 years younger than me. People leave the hobby with time, en masse, and almost no one my age seems to be joining. There are some games that let you ignore that more (single player, matchmaking. Although even in single player, what's the point of gaming, if you don't get to discuss it with most of your friends), but some are really difficult to continue playing (coop :().

  • "Suffering builds character". anarcho-primitivists, probably
  • And aren't magic. Switching fully to renewables is probably both impossible (still require non-renewable materials to make) and requires lowering of living standards (unless you want to build a dyson swarm you need to stop growing your energy use, which pretty much means recession, because our economy is energy driven - and if you need a different economic system for a technological solution to work it's not really a technological solution, is it. Also renewables are still pretty annoying when it comes to matching your output to your supply, and not being able to turn your AC whenever you feel like it is already a lowering of living standard for the richest countries).

    And while we wait for them to "solve" the problem, we're already likely past 1.5°C, even if we just stick to not starving, having water to drink, and not freezing during winters from tomorrow.

  • Move Stonehenge to Tuvalu to Protect it from the Effects of Climate Change Activism
  • this is good, but I think we should build our own (illegal) stonehenge. Or maybe a pyramid. Not only it'd be nice to have something other than microplastic standing after the society collapse, it'd be a huge powerplay. As we seem to be wanting to join earlier civilizations that are no longer here (nor remembered that fondly) it seems only adequate.

    My geographic area doesn't really have stone available, best I can do is a mound :(

  • Robert Bąkiewicz namalował kotwicę powstańczą na ministerstwie [środowiska]
  • Wszystkie czynności w tej sprawie ukierunkowane są na art. 108. Ustawy o ochronie zabytków

    Udało się kiedykolwiek kogokolwiek skutecznie skazać z art 108 za kilka kresek sprayem? Bo zaraz okrężną drogą dojdziemy do tego, że jednak postawienie tęczowej flagi na pomniku też go nieodwracalnie zniszczyło xd

  • Nie federowalibyście z Threads
  • To jest zupełnie inna linia argumentacji, ale ok.

    Fair, to jest odpowiedź na to, co defederowanie osiąga już dziś. Debatowanie długofalowej strategii, której wyników obaj nie jesteśmy w stanie przewidzieć jest trochę mało konkretne i raczej się nie przekonamy.

    Obrazków nie trzeba pobierać, tekst powinna udźwignąć zwykła instancja

    Tak jak pisałem (może w edicie) chodzi głównie o włożoną pracę adminów, kiedy fedi zacznie wprowadzać nowe rzeczy, albo będzie ich zmuszać do trudnych decyzji. Jak dotąd metaverse wymieniła z fedi jednego posta i nie wymagała żadnych konkretnych technologicznych zmian, a wielu administratorów już od dni się męczy nad decyzją o tym, jak zareagować. Jeśli ktoś nie prowadzi instancji for-profit, to się w końcu zacznie zastanawiać, czy warto tę pracę wkładać i czy się dobrze bawi. Widzieliśmy to już wcześniej, bez dokładania dodatkowych zewnętrznych dram i wymagań od wielkich korporacji.

    Meta to nie Twitter, nielegalne treści spadają

    Meta to nie Twitter, Twitter dotąd nie jest odpowiedzialny za żadne ludobójstwo (chyba?).

    trzeba oddać Mecie, że w Threads robią co mogą, żeby nie było polityki.

    To jest imo ruch w jedną stronę - jak się fedi w miarę całe sfederuje z metą, to nie będzie się tego dało cofnąć, tak jak dziś się nie da uwolnić od środowiska zbudowanego nam przez gmail. "Robienie co mogą" w threads zostanie cofnięte na pewno, jak tłumaczy nam nieśmiertelna nauka enshitiffication.
