I have a few (internal) web pages like that at work, they do the job but yes they are ugly

Have you ever seen HTML without CSS? It’s ugly as hell

I think the better comparison (whether that’s technically accurate or not) is to HTML + CSS + JS. Which is overly complicated for just small blogs and personal webpages etc. I think that’s the “issue” Gemini is trying to solve.

Hate to be a pedant but they are not being asked about Donald Trump

They are called digital audio players / DAPs nowadays. Theres a wide variety of them. Also you can also buy a used ipod or a sony walkman. I use an iPod nano, though that’s would be a bit of a hassle without macos.

The modded ipod classics are kinda cool, larger storage and open source software. And no bluetooth if you are concerned about that.

I don’t and I’m 30. Almost anything before the age of 7 and quite little between 7 and 14.

But AFAIK most people do remember quite some stuff from their childhood for the rest of their life. And forget some of course. I guess it varies.

I grew up using macos, still use it on my work laptop, and use elementary os on my home machine. For the most part, it’s great. I like

• The intuitive UX and the clean, consistent and beautiful UI
• Good default apps and settings
• Flatpak out of the box, no snap bullshit.
• Generally you can get away with quite a bit without resorting to the terminal

Unfortuntalely, there are a few big issues with it, mostly due to the small number of developers

• Updating the OS to a new major version (that they release every 1-2 years) is a hassle, there is no direct way to do distro-update like on ubuntu for example
• The mail and calendar apps don’t support Oauth, and by now, google doesn’t seem to support password+IMAP anymore. So no google calendar or mail integration. Also a hassle to set up anything that uses Oauth by default.

If those aren’t dealbreakers, I can recommend eos. But do check out the other options as well.

Days after patients received the ransom emails, the board announced that it had let the CEO, Ville Tapio, go. In April 2023, Tapio was found guilty of criminal negligence in his handling of patient data. His conviction was overturned on appeal in December 2025. (He declined my requests to interview him.)

This makes me so fucking angry. The state of cybersecurity at the company was abysmal, the CEO knew about it, and yet, got no punishment at all.

Clearly its not universal but rather a cultural phenomenon if they were fine but you feel humiliated

That portmanteu is horrific

It is really easy to mirror git repos though, which makes this less of an issue than most other monopolies

Oh do I love linear extrapolation, 200% renewables by 2076, lets gooo😎🔥

Gamers are a bit more tech savvy than average people tho

The other option is that anybody who recommends Lemmy, actually just recommends an instance. Make an account on examplelemmyserver.org and download the app XYZ should be the go-to recommendation. Not ”there are so many cool options”.

unhinged post

Uhm actually

Apart from the obvious ones of like, getting a visa and difficulty of getting a passport, in rough order of my completely non-scientific guesstimate

• Stability, safety
• Long-term track record of employment opportunities, and pay vs cost of living. You want to be able to find a job, and not starve.
• Price and quality of government services such as healthcare, education etc.
• Language situation. As an English speaker, you’d either want to go for English speaking, or somewhere where people speak alright English but let you practice their language so that you can eventually learn it. Also, see language difficulty for English speakers
• Culture and attitudes towards immigration; how difficult is it to socially integrate
• Matters of taste, would you like the culture, food, climate etc.

Yeah seems like right wing propaganda lol. He usually tries to phrase things in a very non-confrontational way. Even if the policy itself would be pretty pro public transit / walkability

Paywalls only move this to the consumer:

If art doesn’t make you money, only rich people can make art.

Under the current system, you can make money making art, but only access it if you’re not poor (or pirate it lol).

Either way, much of art becomes an image of the experiences of rich people, either through the artists themselves or the audience.

A more fundamental change is needed if you really want to solve this issue.
