World News•Canadian judge rules the thumbs up emoji counts as a contract agreement
15·3 years agoTo be honest, I find this equally stupid (or not) as handshakes being legally binding.

Free and Open Source Software•Looking for a ios keyboard
1·3 years agoI wouldn’t trust third-party apps in this case, especially since you can’t completely prevent an app from accessing the internet.
By the way, on iOS 17 beta the autocorrect does seem a bit smarter.

World News•5,000-year-old 'Ivory Lady' upends what's known about sex and gender in prehistoric societies
3·3 years agoI thought the article was interesting, but I didn’t really get the point of what OP said. :/

Technology•Google Says It'll Scrape Everything You Post Online for AI
3·3 years agoMaybe OnlyOffice but it depends on your use case. It’s open source and free for personal use with encryption IIRC

Free and Open Source Software•Recommendations on FOSS fitness tracking
1·3 years agoI don’t own a PineTime, but from what I’ve heard the sensors are not very accurate. You may want to keep this in mind.

Technology•So where are we all supposed to go now?
20·3 years agoI told someone about uBlock as they were getting ads left and right, and I was told “oh no, I don’t wanna install anything!”
So if it’s not extremely frictionless, many people won’t even try…
(I agree with your second point BTW)

Science•The Most Misunderstood Concept in Physics
2·3 years agoReally cool video! Doing that little interview at the begging had me worried at first, but it’s a cool trick to grab someone’s attention, I guess.

Technology•Gizmodo and Kotaku Staff Furious After Owner Announces Move to AI Content
5·3 years agoSmall unimportant detail: it has been possible for a while now to have up-to-10 min content on TikTok, plus people usually do multiple parts (super annoying).

Technology•Redditors, how do you like Lemmy?English
1·3 years agoIt’s probably a bit of both. The language (well, the compiler) enforces good practices and you need to think more about what you’re writing and not just copy-paste snippets.

Technology•Redditors, how do you like Lemmy?English
1·3 years agoTo be clear, only the backend is in Rust (probably the most important part though).
There are already many! The problem is they lack polish, to varying degrees.
EDIT: Damn, Thunder wasn’t showing me my comment!

33·3 years agoIn general, not talking directly to OP, it is important to read about the instance you’re joining to make sure you’re in the right place.

Programming•A Comparison of my Favorite Fonts for Reading and Writing Code
1·3 years agoIt’s definitely a personal preference thing. I just think they look cool and make it a bit easier to skim read large sections of code (assuming you have ligatures often in the code). They have lots of examples here: https://github.com/Trzcin/Fira-Code-Nerd
Anyway, you can still use that font without the ligatures, if that’s not your thing :p

Technology•Meta is planning to let people in the EU download apps through Facebook
9·3 years agoI would never use it, but I don’t think it’s a bad idea. On the other other hand, I think most people would be confused if they had to use multiple app stores with some apps being exclusive to one of them.
So, this mostly seems like a way to promote adware apps, like those silly casual games that all look the same.

Free and Open Source Software•Rocky Linux Shares How They May Continue To Obtain The RHEL Source Code
4·3 years agoThey think having downstream distros that repackage their software without adding anything is useless, and they want more customers. I get it, but meh.
Also, it doesn’t help that they communicated it poorly making it sound worse than it actually is.
