whaleross@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•The highlighted division and factions of Lemmy.English30·3 days agoNobody hates leftists like other leftists with a slightly different flavour of leftism. This is by tradition as long as the leftist discourse has been up. Plenty of people find it unthinkable with nuances or compromises even for communal goals that would benefit everybody.
Add to this that social media is inherently toxic and anonymity brings out the absolute worst in many people to spew hate for slight differences in opinion.
It’s too bad but I’d recommend you to not get caught up in it and don’t let it get to you. People are people and the chances that they will change in any foreseeable future are small. Keep doing what you think is positive and constructive and don’t let others make you disappointed.
And their CEO thinks music is a product that costs next to nothing to make so it’s okay to screw artists over for his billionaire pay check.
Fuck Spotify. Tell everybody you know to use alternatives. Qobuz, Tidal, Deezer…

Android users are screwed - Louis RossmannEnglish11·1 month agoI wouldn’t call it dumb but maybe expecting too much from people now that convenience and hand holding is expected at all times.

It must be next gen hardware and be priced more than competitively.

It seems to me that it is a programmable device that is an analogue recreation of digital neural network design with the benefits of real time processing of data streams without conversion or sampling and doing it at lower power consumption that current digital technology.

Tech news seem latch on to the words parallel and wireless because the chip operates with microwaves in a mesh¹ processing configuration but confuse what it means in this context.
Very cool, I’m curious to learn more.

whaleross@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Product packaging pandering to conservative AmericansEnglish15·2 months agoChinese OEM resellers will print anything on the product and the packaging. It’s just another sale for them. Same guy probably sells it with ten different brandings and flags and quotes and slogans for different markets.
whaleross@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•My petty gripe: forced software updates just make everything worseEnglish19·2 months agoSecurity packed and system updates is one thing.
The constant reorganization of functions and apps and layouts and compatibility is a very different one.
It is a problem that the operating system is controlled by the largest apps and service company that make money from user data in various forms and keep pushing their business model in every device core operations.
And fuck fuck fuck that Google keeps trying to force Gemeni in every update. Let me keep using Google Assistant and stop making it worse by stripping out functionality or replacing shortcuts to Gemeni. Gemeni can still not do the very few things I want my voice assistant to do, namely set alarms and play music on whatever music streaming service I prefer to use.

First it stopped playing and then it wouldn’t even resume. Their own app. On playing ads. No ad blockers. Fuck you I’m not paying premium.

whaleross@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•These shipping tape thingsEnglish4·2 months agoI got one the last time I moved houses. Now I’m very glad I have one whenever I am about to send or return a package, reinforce a box or do some quick and dirty fixes that would make landlords weep.

It’s such a strange idea to use bad words but okay it by censoring letters out. Either use the word or don’t.

whaleross@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Trump wanted a US-made iPhone. Apple gave him a gold statue.English14·2 months agoIt’s the other way around. Apple gave Trump a golden statue so he can kill off all their competitors. They no longer have to compete with their branding or products. It’s not smart, it’s just lazy, greedy and against any shred of decency. It’s not even capitalism, it’s plain corruption and proudly doing it in the open.
Different countries have different languages, alphabets and keyboard layouts. Scandinavian countries keyboards are quite commonly produced together because they share most but not all of the letters, symbols and positions. This looks pretty standard to me.
Edit: As a user from respective country you learn fast to read automatically the position for shared keys before you learn touch typing or looking for an uncommonly used symbol. The real annoyance is when laptop makers switch up key positions because they think they know better.
I just got silenced and banned from that other thread on asklemmy at ml because I explained what other leftists consider Tankies. They sure are a sensitive bunch for anything other than the one authorized truth.
