X is not even in the top 10 active user count. It ranked just above Quora and below Reddit. It's just not a super popular platform. X fans constantly have to denigrate everyone else as a "loud minority". Clearly, "the co

I said 10% of the free RAM. 4GB should be enough, but I'm talking about the 4GB you might get left over from 8GB. I thought I might have been undergenerous, but I just looked it up, and people report Windows 11 really does idle around

It does not matter how well or poorly Chrome mismanages memory, 400MB is still 400MB. If that 400MB is 10% of the free RAM after the share the OS takes, then that is a hefty toll. And the regular updates Windows 11 users are getting are fam

I was about to say this already exists, but Meta discontinued the KaiOS client a year ago. For all the EU does right, it's amazing that a reviled United States conglomerate owns their entire social sphere. I hope they can change that a

Moore's lesser known cousin predicted this as Leslie's Law. Accounting for cost, Moore's law has practically jumped backwards in time over 15 years in the past six months.

Scene painting, FINALLY! :D This is probably the biggest thing that GameMaker users (which I was, years ago) have been missing from Godot. Tilemaps recently got you 80% of the way there but had all the limitations (and difficulties) associa

Almost everyone is using an app with a feed with an algorithm powered by a transformer. People spend hours a day feeding information into a model with the same architecture as an LLM which then spits out next-post recommendations. They call

You continue making unsubstantiated claims with loaded terms, denigrating others by accusing them of being dishonest when just stating their preferences. It's not a litmus test, you are simply wrong in the way you dismiss other people.

This might be true, but the operating systems with animations you can't disable aren't short and they aren't well done.

by lynndotpy 4mo ago
Denigrating others as "roleplaying" is unnecessary and not serious. AOSP is not the only operating system that allows you to disable animations, even if its implementation is not the best. And yes, I still use 0x on my Android, be

Yes! It feels faster and more responsive now because it is faster and more responsive now. Your device is taking less time to do the same work.

For me, animations are the torture, and I am most productive on machines that aren't artificially hobbled with animations one can't turn off. Your experiences are not universal.

Unless you can back that up, "Majority" is something you're making up. It's a guess. It also doesn't matter whether it's true if the majority or not- "Instant transitions are only good in theory" is n

An app with no animations feels awesome. It's great and it doesn't take my brain any time to process what happened since I already knew what was going to happen when I press the button that makes things happen on purpose.

by lynndotpy 4mo ago
Maybe you dislike them, but that does not make for a fact. Instant transitions are something I strongly prefer and use in practice. There's no question, I don't want my operating system slowing itself down to a factor (literally)

Yes!! I agree with this entirely. As far as I know, the best data the rest of us have is Google Trends. And based on that, it really does look like Liquid Glass elicited the largest negative reaction that Apple has ever had to an OS release

The Apple Music thing bothers me and adds friction to my life every single day that I use MacOS. We're on a tech forum where everyone here is aware (or at least can understand) how SIP is useful for the security model on MacOS. But for

You can not do this on MacOS, at least on MacOS 26 on Apple Silicon without SIP disabled. I was: - Unable to drag from the Applications drawer to Trash - Unable to drag from the Spotlight search to Trash - Unable to drag from Finder (in ~&#

Only up until the point the judge says, "Meta files a motion to compel arbitration and it looks like you're bound to that arbitration clause. You didn't send a letter during the provided 30 day window. It all checks out, good

by lynndotpy 5mo ago
You are 100% able to sue, but, in the US, the result of that suit is 99.9% that you will be held to that arbitration clause anyways, with an arbitrator of Meta's choosing. Arbitration clauses are very strong in the United States and ha

I disagree with policing someone elses language like this in the first place, but it's only one insult and it's just "Microslop".

This is more needlessly dismissive rhetoric. You don't really believe it's eleven people. This sentiment is widespread enough to be a common point of comedy and conflict, and it's widespread enough problem that consumer intel
