I’m on the PC and using Firefox, viewing Lemmy directly rather than on mobile.
Android’s most beloved launcher may be done for good
I see only this.
- Comment on Google quietly removes net-zero carbon goal from website amid rapid power-hungry AI data center buildout — industry-first sustainability pledge moved to background amidst AI energy crisis 1 week ago:
Once Cheeto-head got in charge again, nearly all those tech corpos took off the blinders and go off doing anything as they please.
- Comment on Android’s most beloved launcher may be done for good 1 week ago:
I hate being hinted and asked to click on the link, so I save you a click:
It’s the end of an era: the founder and original developer of Nova Launcher — Kevin Barry — has stepped away from the development of the iconic custom launcher. This essentially marks the end of the road for the launcher, as it is unlikely to receive updates or new features. For years now, Nova Launcher has been the go-to launcher for power Android users, standing out for its plethora of customization options and features.
- Comment on The USA prided itself on a nation of immigrant, heck even the Statue of Liberty says it. When did immigrants (US citizens from the old world) become anti immigrant and why? 1 week ago:
The “fuck you, I got mine” mindset aka FYIGM or getting first dibs.
That is, kicking out the ladder or destroying bridges or cutting off reach so that no one else is getting what one has achieved. Like, “I got first, you’re getting nothing!”
- Comment on YSK that in several US States, it's illegal to boycott Israel 1 week ago:
Kahanist exceptionalism.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Game devs really have to keep their CVs ready at anytime given how uncertain their jobs are.
- Comment on MIT Study Finds AI Use Reprograms the Brain, Leading to Cognitive Decline 1 week ago:
cognitive decline.
Another reason for refusing those so-called tools… it could turn one into another tool.
- Comment on Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs 1 week ago:
In any developing country with heavy social media presence and smartphone usage, most people care more about the content and how much they’re actually getting entertained than bothering about quality and size.
- Comment on Rockstar Games Plans Age Verification For GTA Online 1 month ago:
Unfortunately, the online component easily becomes a profitable sideline. Sarcastically, it’s what keeps some game corporation CEOs afford their lifestyles.
- Comment on SEC says it will deregulate cryptocurrencies with 'Project Crypto' 1 month ago:
Those greedfuck assholes. Never fucking learning anything.
- Comment on YSK: Deezer, the music streaming service, is owned by a company whose Founder and CEO is a Russian Oligarch with connections to the Kremlin and donates to the American Republican party. 1 month ago:
Those bastards always literally wanting the world at their feet.
- Comment on YSK: This recent war on adult content was mostly started by a single law in 2018, pushed by a few evangelical groups pretending to fight sexual exploitation 1 month ago:
The Handmaid’s Tale, was in turn, partly based on how Iran went from an absolute kingdom with a secular urban culture and lifestyle to a male-dominated theocracy.
That the US began largely as a string of colonies run by religious officials, an arrangement those megalomaniacal evangelists are trying to bring back, those pricks literally believing they’re on “holy” land and must live up to it.
- Comment on Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamber 1 month ago:
Why there now exists “iPad Kid”.
That a friend I know of has a lot of his kids entirely on smartphones, while their family PC is hidden behind cobwebs and dust; if they want a document printed they just go out to some print shop.
- Comment on Too bad we can't have good public transportation 1 month ago:
There do exist stubborn nail houses but those are very rare occurrences in China where they do indeed fight to hold onto the land they consider their birthright property or believing to be much more valuable than their government tries to buy from them, the only few outbursts of dissent in a country that quashes dissent.
- Comment on Too bad we can't have good public transportation 1 month ago:
That just changed completely, far cry when there was this Robert Moses had whole neighborhoods demolished for highways and rearranging whole cities. Now any sort of public infrastructure in the US does have to undergo scrutiny, whether it’s going to affect people or their mortgages or both.
- Comment on Too bad we can't have good public transportation 1 month ago:
Right now, the Chinese government has effective eminent domain powers which allows them to acquire property for which to build public infrastructure, both expressways and high-speed railways. That the Chinese people have no questions about the positives regarding HSTs, especially crunchtime during holidays where railway stations would be jampacked.
Why the US HST programs and passenger rail transport in general are at glacial pace is partly because of the usual car lobby, because of NIMBYs, because of cheap air transport, and some people now on online gambling instead of touching grass and tossing dice in Vegas.
- Comment on Japan sets new internet speed world record — 4 million times faster than average US speeds 1 month ago:
Not surprising it’s already ahead, as about 20 years ago they offered 100mbps to anyone who could pay for it (a certain Danny Choo comes to mind).
- Comment on Japan sets new internet speed world record — 4 million times faster than average US speeds 1 month ago:
fiber optics
Won’t come out immediately, as that tech would first have to be finalized then introduced to the domestic market.

Merde alors.
- Comment on Is America in a New Gilded Age? Wealth, Power, and Democracy 2 months ago:
More like an actual decline and fall, whereas the 19th century Gilded Age was unbridled prosperity for some and unrestricted exceptionalism for most.
- Comment on Nexus Mods' new owners promise they won't monetise the site to death as users panic at the whiff of venture capital 2 months ago:
Easy to say, yet so far most of the other modding sites seem to be content sitting on their butts right now.
Building an alternative would take time. And some money.
- Comment on Nexus Mods' new owners promise they won't monetise the site to death as users panic at the whiff of venture capital 2 months ago:
File a lawsuit. Paying customers are supposed to do that if they were given an explanation but in bad-faith language.
- Comment on WhatsApp is officially getting ads 2 months ago:
Doctorow is always right.
- Comment on Why are American cops allowed to be morbidly obese? 3 months ago:
In my part of the world, cops are near on top of the food chain in any town and city, sometimes literally getting a free pass as long as they do something for a politician, a celebrity, or a business personality. So some of them, especially senior officers, do eventually get obese because not only they get to choose what duties they want to carry out, but also either they have three full square meals plus two snacks a day, or maybe a drinking party two to four times a month.
Of course they’re a government agency, but also they’re a fraternity: “you scratch my back as long as I scratch yours”.
- Comment on YSK about the GI Rights Hotline 3 months ago:
Couple this with American Exceptionalist propaganda which created the myth and social elevation of the American Soldier as the ultimate freedom fighter / patriot and maybe you can sympathize with those who enlist.
That myth. One of the things Umberto Eco discussed about in Ur-Fascism.

You had a “turtle” (green triangle) that you needed to move to a specific spot on the screen, and you typed in commands to make him move.
Ah. LOGO.
- Comment on Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit 3 months ago:
Curriculum and unappetizing methods of teaching are the problems.
This kid has the right to question, to speak out what’s really logical, and is likely to be more street-wise.
- Comment on YSK: Condé Nast Parent Company is a Major Owner of Reddit, You Should Avoid their Publications (Wired, Ars Technica, GQ, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Vogue,...etc) as Much as Possible. 3 months ago:
They have very blunt takes at the space launch industry, for one.
- Comment on Meta and Yandex are de-anonymizing Android users’ web browsing identifiers - Ars Technica 3 months ago:
Not surprising, it’s always expected from tech corporations, where at the end of the day it’s profit and favor with conservative politicians. If they’re not trying to use information gathered on people to bad government looking to cut costs by removing minority beneficiaries, they love to shove content you don’t even want.
Why I never use my real name online.
