I have to admit I wasn't aware tiktok was that popular. But then again, tiktok is a video app where most users skip videos often. What counts as "one traffic"? Why is Microsoft in #4 of top traffic (who is visiting Microsof

They are viable, but growth is significantly hindered by GOOGLE. When you install a search engine extension, that is explicitly labeled as such, Google will still "warn" users that an extention has "hijacked" their defau

So I suppose... No Linux support? I assume a significant share of their users are Linux users.

I suppose its impossible to make a 5 year plan when the game is changing month after month. With countries having 50% vaccination rate, there's always place to brew new variants that might or not be resistant to vaccines and medicine.

Do you want to expand? The main reason to make a search engine Browser is because browsers, and specially Chrome are very aggressive against search engine extentions (chrome insists in warning users their search engine changed). Also, searc

That sort of maintenance can easily be done without the need for specialised engineers. A gardener can mow the lawn, a janitor can clean the panels, and most solar plants are not on tracks but static.

The lack of transparency since day one of the pandemic is, in my opinion, the main reason for so many people to be against all measures, including vaccination mandates. From making assertions about the virus before the science was out (scie

Not just that, but after 2 years of pandemic you start having very few new people to infect effectively.

It's funny you place games in the "bad" side of things, this hich need to be reduced. I group gaming with reading because the kind of games I play require a level of focus and engagement, and my brain rather spend hours scrol

And at least for now, there's a multitude of third party parties with all the features one could care about, minus all the bloat. But who knows how long the api will last?

Of course they want. But then they should be the one footing the computational bill.

It's funny that people think that even 1% of all desktop users is "little". That's hundreds of millions of users.

My old and only eReader, a Kindle 3, had ghosting issues, but it self-fixed them by refreshing often. But there's a cost to that, because a full refresh takes significant time. In complex UIs that are more than just text you often can

Vaccines don't make you immune to the virus. The reduce transmission and symptoms, and practically eliminate death risk. But you can still get the virus, and can still get sick. Source: currently qpositive, mildly sick, doubly vaccinat

No need to apply taxes on meat. Just stop subsidising animal husbandry, as well as subsidising crops dedicated to animal feed, and the true cost of meat will emerge.

And the saddest part is that this precarious situation is basically what is saving us from an effective Blink monoculture. Firefox Market share keeps slowly going down on desktop and is almost negligible on android.

There was a picture going around o reddit of 50 totally different varieties of potatoes grown in Peru. How many varieties do we grow that are significantly distinct? This is probably caused by the optimization of industrial farming selectin

I'm not sure if you're just being naive, but there are lots of people deemed "unbankable", e.g. Imigrants and refugees. And in the coming years, the number of people with that position will only raise. It's 2021, mo

This phone has IP54. The previous had nothing. I like to think they are working on it. Watch makers have been making serviceable waterproof devices for decades. Only reason we don't have serviceable waterproof phones is because manufac

They do survive a drop in a pool. iOS will also warn you there's moisture inside the charging port and will refuse to charge until completely dry.

I don't think their volume justifies the expansion yet. They are an incredibly small company (around 90 people) that is doing a lot more than build a phone. I'm writing this from a FP3 and I'm a bit thorn because I want a FP4

Even in a European Capital trash is routinely found on the floor, on the streets. People throw it on purpose or by mistake, or the wind blows it away. Eventually it is forgotten, blown to forests to break down, or carried to waterways until

Fashion is so diverse that you can hardly ever create something that looks distinctively new. Me with these shoes. They either look weird or regular, and the regular probably exist in a very similar style.

I think we're in a troubled phase of the transition to a truly universal port. I believe soon enough most cables and charging, bricks, and devices, will start to be more versatile and also better labeled. At this point companies are st

That's such an incredibly short-sighted and single-tracked view on what is "the environment". Planting trees will not magically fix the climate, and carbon sequestration is not the solution to all our problems. Destroying eco

We have covered the earth with nanobits to track air quality and the results are astonishing. The atmosphere is full of nanobots.
