  Glad to have helped. The only issue O may have with it is that the web frontend feels a bit slow, but O mainly use it as a file sync service, so it doesn’t bother me too much.

  I didn’t check it, tbh. Unluckily, I need almost perfect compatibility with MS Office for my job (shared documents). You’re most likely right.

  Ignorant is everyone worshipping these “celebrities”, my dear clown.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PewDiePie: I'm DONE with Google⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Opinion discarded. Bye.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PewDiePie: I'm DONE with Google⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People listen to mister nobodies on the internet like they are prophets…

  I’ve never felt the appeal of Instagram (or youtube, for that matters). Looks like most of the “normie” internet is just ego showcasing.

  Bixby is, or used to be, on Samsung phones.

  A lot of hive mind, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨time to switch to DeltaChat 😁⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The point is… (almost) nobody is going to do that. Ask a layman what a SMTP is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨time to switch to DeltaChat 😁⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. Talking to myself is sooooo satisfying…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perovskite-based image sensors promise higher sensitivity and resolution than silicon⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks. I have to admit I haven’t worked on perovskite since then, so my knowledge is surely very outdated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perovskite-based image sensors promise higher sensitivity and resolution than silicon⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but I’m talking about chemical instability which happens nonetheless, independently on the light you shine on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perovskite-based image sensors promise higher sensitivity and resolution than silicon⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No idea. IIRC the problem comes from chemical instability i.e., even when properly encapsulated, the methylammonium just evaporates/decompose and you’re left with a nice lead iodide layer. Can’t say if it’s better now. It’s been quite a feew years ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perovskite-based image sensors promise higher sensitivity and resolution than silicon⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methylammonium_lead_halide

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perovskite-based image sensors promise higher sensitivity and resolution than silicon⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been working on hybrid perovskite for solar cells, during my PhD, a few years ago. The problem with theses materials was their short lifetime (some thousands of ours of sun exposition), which made them unsuitable for “real life” uses, back then (but suitable to get high impact-factor papers…). Is that still a problem?

  I choose the highway.

  Apple “opinion” -> discarded.

  Yes, but which sand?

  Maybe I need a bit more coffee, but I read this as “Although I think I’m feeling like this, I don’t like it, as it makes me feel a bit racist”.

  I meant that literally every other company is after the money, not only Google or big ones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit will help advertisers turn ‘positive’ posts into ads⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bastards… I spend a lot of time carefully crafting them :-P

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit will help advertisers turn ‘positive’ posts into ads⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m perfectly able to be negative about them and their competition at the same time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it's time to consider Linux and LibreOffice⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know what kind of software that particular machine runs, but for server and backup Linux appears to be the go to tool. I’m not saying that you have to migrate everything to Linux. I just say that for servers and the like the transition is probably easier than for desktop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit will help advertisers turn ‘positive’ posts into ads⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Joke’s on them. I just post and comment negative rants.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google’s Advanced Protection Arrives on Android: Should You Use It?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As every other company.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just came to hate sunlight because it’s usually full of other people nearby. So, if I’m depression, other people are to blame.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is wild to know that "prophetic dreams" have been documented and verified, and even more wild that it isn't really that astonishing when one thinks about it.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You call those “prophetic dreams”. I call those “coincidences”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why so much hate toward AI?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Karma farming, as everything on any social network, be it centralized or decentralized. I’m not exactly enthusiastic about AI, but I can tell it has its use case (with caution).
