  • [Android] How is Florisboard not popular?

    Jump

  • Heliboard is fantastic ❤️

    • glide typing.
    • multiple languages at the same time (without switching).
    • extremely customizable in nearly every way.
    • customize long-press options for each key with multiple / list of options. For instance, I've extended the number keys row with my most-used emojis, so holding '1' gives me a pop-up with '❤️😍😘🥰', 2 gives '🙂😊😃😄', etc.
    • 'snippets' via custom dictionary with shortcuts (typing 'xx' shows my primary email for 1-click insertion, 'yy' shows secondary email; endless possibilities). Possible with most keyboards, though.
    • and so much more.

    I haven't found anything that comes even close.

  • Maybe the pertinent question is "Where is the money being spent now? Who is supplying the platform?".

  • These men are more than powerful enough to go against Trump

    Was just discussing this with my wife last night — are they?

    This time around, there is zero oversight, no checks and balances worth mentioning. Donald Quixote has pretty much carte blanche, complete power. If they went against him, he could fine them (their companies), levy crazy taxes or tariffs, kill government contracts and subsidies, and nobody could stop him. Even if a non-evil judge halts an executive order, it will eventually get to the Subpreme Court, get overturned, basically no more than a delay.

    I understand that they could still Do The Right Thing™, throw themselves in their sword in protest, but they're all publicly traded, must have Boards. Most (?) of these men can just be fired if they go against the shareholders.

    Could they really do anything that would be more than a symbolic gesture?

  • I'm sorry; it's a coping mechanism for not being able to adequately read mood/tone from written text. I'm trying to quit, or at least dial it down, but it's a struggle 😞

    With my current progress on that front, we might as well be talking about grammar and punctuation — right ...? 😶

  • What the fuuuuuck 😳

    I can see how that could be a useful mod tool, but still (see line 1).

    So happy I left that hellhole 😮‍💨

    Edit: Although I guess this means I should have invested the time in deleting all my posts; probably too late now 🙄

    And damn, now I really want to know what their AI thinks of me! 😅

  • Thank you! Weird, I thought I read the whole thing, maybe there was an ad block or something and I missed the rest 🤔

    Clever system!

  • Mayo project uses kites to generate power

    Jump

  • I'm guessing there's no way to generate power by simply pulling continuously on something — we'd just dangle large boulders off cliffs and be done with it.

    So how does this generate power? Add a large spring to the generating end, kite pulls away, spring pulls it back, rinse + repeat? 🤔

  • Microsoft pushes staff to use internal AI tools more, and may consider this in reviews. 'Using AI is no longer optional.'

    Jump

  • I'm starting to root for Microsoft's failure these days, because they haven't done anything useful or innovative since the pandemic.

    That is the most insanely generous thing I've read in years. What the — pardon my French — fucking fuck have they done that was useful or innovative in the last 20 years?! 🤯

  • 10 to 100 Times Faster than a Starlink Antenna, and Cheaper Than Fiber: Taara Unveils a Laser Internet That Could Shatter the Status Quo

    Jump

  • Asked cgpt to compare lasers to microwave for data transmission; take with a grain of salt, but seems transfer rate especially isn't comparable.

    🔄 Comparison: Laser vs Microwave Data Transmission

    📋 Comparison Table

    📌 Key Insights

    • Bandwidth: Lasers have a much higher data capacity, similar to fiber optics. Microwave is far more limited in throughput.
    • Range: Microwave wins in raw distance, particularly in less-than-ideal weather. Lasers struggle with any visibility obstruction.
    • Stability: Lasers require precision alignment and environmental stability (wind, vibration can disrupt link). Microwaves are more forgiving.
    • Security: Lasers are harder to intercept due to their tight beams. Microwaves, being broader, are more vulnerable to eavesdropping and interference.

    🧠 When to Use What

    Use Laser Links (e.g., Taara) when:

    • You need fiber-like throughput without laying fiber
    • The link is short to medium range (under 20 km)
    • You can ensure clear line-of-sight and good weather conditions
    • You prioritize security and low interference

    Use Microwave Transmission when:

    • You need a reliable, moderate-speed link over 30–50 km
    • Operating in all weather conditions is a must
    • You want easier setup with more flexibility in alignment
    • Budget constraints are tighter
