  • Youtube is now unusable without a frontend

  • It’s not so much opposition rather than other BSDs having almost negligible desktop presence… If we really want to get into semantics, too, Linux is technically not UNIX.

  • Parents of lemmy, at what age did/would you give a smartphone to your kids ?

    Jump

  • What’s wrong with the screenshot? I have no idea what the numbers mean but I’d guess 28min is how long the app was opened, and 20m is how much video was watched?

  • Which communication protocol or open standard in software do you wish was more common or used more?

    Jump

  • I honestly just use it for my resume with a template I found, so my knowledge is extremely basic, but I really do love the concept that I can “compile” and actually see the source of my document’s formatting.

  • Say this to my very large Canadian ISP who still doesn’t support IPv6 for residential customers. Last I checked, adoption in Canada was still under 50%.

  • How so? Outside very niche stuff or podcasts I just don’t seem to it used that often.

  • When / why / how did "I hope you are well" become a standard email intro?

    Jump

  • I can’t find this specific sentence in my inbox. So I guess there are some variations. It’s just the same platitudes as people asking “how’s it going” when greeting people. It’s a weird form of politeness I’ll never really understand, but is just there. It’s futile to try and change this, IMHO.

  • What's your fave movie of all time that you love to recommend to people?

  • Oh my god, I must have watched Ace Ventura 2 hundreds of times as a kid. The rhinoceros scene is a freaking classic.

  • Yeah, more or less. Stimulants tend to have a contradictory calming and/or focusing effect on the ADHD brain. I don’t remember why exactly but it probably has to do with dopamine regulation, which our brains crave like a zombie does brains.

    My diagnosis kind of explained why I can drink inordinate amounts of coffee or energy drinks (don’t do this) and sleep like a log 30min later lol

    Jump

  • I ran out of Vyvanse three weeks back. It’s been months my rather low dose didn’t do its full effect anymore, I just didn’t go back to see my doc to get it adjusted. However, looking at how much of a disorganized mess I am these last couple of weeks, I guess it was still doing something - holy shit am I not getting much done, like, at all 😬

    What ever happened to nanotechnology?

    Seems like it disappeared.

    Jump

  • People imagine nano bots like the movies. My guess is, science kept going while the buzzwords eroded away.

    Some contemporary applications of nanotechnology are in medicine, for example, more biocompatible nanoparticules used as carriers for more targeted delivery of things like drugs, chemotherapy or gene therapy. Others are in material science - engineering fabrics for specialized applications. QLED TVs use quantum dot technology, which operates at nanoscale.

  • And then you get hooked on it and start using it for real

    Jump

  • That’s… quite the dedication. I personally just never downloaded things or ran random executables from porn sites, but hey… who am I to judge, I guess

  • TIL the U.S. Civil War is called "The Slave War" in Icelandic

  • Sadly those kids were turned into confused apologists before they could decide if they wanted to or not

  • Would you watch the earth form from nothing to the current time for 500.000 $?

    Jump

  • Even for a billion it’s such a shit deal. Billions of years of doing nothing experiencing the Big Bang and burning alive for centuries on end, to get pennies a year you ultimately will get to spend in the very last fractions of a percent of it all.

    Jump

  • We can also change your thought experiment to help people conceptualise the “billion” part. Instead of a lump sum after a billion years, let’s just take the original million and divide it so you receive the same amount for every year you complete. Does receiving a hundredth of a cent ($0.001) for every year you sit in said room sound like a very good deal?

    Even with hundreds of billions of dollars, it sounds like an insanely bad deal. It doesn’t even cover a yearly salary, and money would be completely unusable for 99.99% of that time lol

  • There is someone who's the first and oldest member of gen Z, and they have absolutely no clue that's the case.

    Jump

  • IMHO, when taken simply as a group of people who have experienced a common set of cultural/societal defining events in their formative years, it’s a pretty useful generalization. For example I have no trouble believing literally born with the internet has had a significantly different effect on Zoomers than it had on us Millenials who learned to use it at the same time as our parents.

  • I honestly don’t think that’s the case. Generational divides aren’t that strongly defined that they have a specific cutoff date and time, people don’t really agree on exact moments. Some people who were born after said cutoff are better described by the previous generation, and vice-versa. For example, if you go strictly by date of birth, by most definitions of the term, my father is a (very late) boomer, but his life experience is much more similar to what defined Gen X’ers.

  • President Biden is now posting into the fediverse

    Jump

  • Eh, from what I could gather from both specs ATProto does address some shortcomings of ActivityPub, so the idea has some technical merit. While a lot of the current Fediverse seems to have settled on AP, it’s not like it’s the be-all and end-all of federated protocols either.

    Maybe you’re just talking about the company behind it?

  • I’d rather have them on Bluesky/AT than Threads, to be perfectly honest…
