Apple: only implements a proprietary graphics API

Also Apple: Why does no one make games for my platform??

[A trans person] joined the Discord server and made a big deal out of their pronouns [..] because they put their pronouns in their nickname and made a big deal out of them because people were referring to them as “he” [misgendering them], which, on the Internet, let’s be real, is the default.

Damn I didn't know women didn't exist on the internet! Also "making a big deal out of ones pronouns" is almost never the case, it's always just a normal request for the respect of addressing someone properly.

Nope, just the CEO of the company that has regularly overridden the decisions of his engineers, driving anyone with any actual experience away.

Autonomous vehicles built by hundreds of first-year software engineering graduates seems like a good idea though.

Good, hope they win. I was supposed to have a procedure at Vanderbilt and this whole thing has really made me second guess how much I trust them, despite not living in Tennessee.

There's no good reason. There never is, other than the reddit mods wanting control and not wanting to share with those who already built community on Lemmy.

excellent news, this community isn't for discussing "queer and gender diversity" but instead shitposting.

hope this helps!

The Time Article they're referencing is worth a read. Excellent reporting, and there's no excuses for Apple and Foxconn here.

They really don't. It's not like after 10 years your battery just explodes and stops working. They lose a little bit of capacity and work just fine.

I have a 5 year old EV with barely any battery degredation. That I bought used!

Still disappointing that it isn't using a proper IR illuminator. Apple's Face ID is still better, and the DyNaMiC iSlAnD doesn't take up that much space. I've adjusted to having a fingerprint sensor on my Pixel 6 Pro, but the thing is so much slower.

given I am a woman who is currently on the internet, I am aware there are women on the internet.

thanks for explaining that for me 😉

Have you considered just using the user's browser font via sans-serif?

I did this on my website some time ago and honestly feels like it is the best way. You're repecting the user's wishes if they have a custom typeface specified, and the defaults on most OS' are good these days otherwise.

Plus, you save some network requests and page size.

LiFePO4 batteries like being charged up high, so you're probably fine keeping them plugged in.

You're right about not going under 20% often, but you'll want to charge to 100% at least periodically to allow the cells to balance.

Edit: Please make sure you're looking up information on Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries specifically, they behave differently from standard lithium batteries and a lot of the advice shared here won't apply.

It makes no sense to me why we pressure people to take breaks from psychiatric medication when we don’t for like any other condition?

Take your meds, fuck em.

looks more like chromeOS than chromeOS lol

You're not unlucky, in the U.S. any charger that isn't made by Tesla is unreliable. It's been getting worse over time, and the only real hope is that every manufacturer is switching to Tesla's charge port (now called NACS) and getting access to their Superchargers.

I had a non-Tesla EV and eventually got a Tesla because I need to road trip regularly and can't handle chargers being down.

Right, like the ones with vaginas are cool and the ones with penises aren't?

I set up a new HA install a couple months ago and didn't write any YAML. It was kind of nice? The UI tools have come a long way and it discovered all my devices which had never happened before.

The thread you shared is worrying though, it's the complete opposite of the spirit of FOSS. I should probably reconsider paying for their subscription at a minimum.

I don't think you understand what Apple Fitness+ is? You don't have to pay for access to any health data?

It's a service with workout videos lead by instructors, like what Peloton offers with their app. It's pretty good, I enjoy the yoga classes on my Apple TV.

That's... not really what I said?

I think having multiple communities about the same subject on different instances can be interesting and potentially good!

I just think in this case there wasn't really a need to make a new community, when the main difference is a mod team from a different website. The tone of the post struck me as telling the community what to do. I was a little assumptive, I suppose.

I used to mod a subreddit/discord that has already had a couple lemmy communities pop up, so this is something I've been talking about with friends for a bit. I'm personally hoping to see moderators of reddit communities making space for new people to run things.

It's really not a misunderstanding if you fail to communicate that at all! Every bit of what you said made it sound like you all swooped in from reddit (given none of the mods I've seen have any interactoin with any other lemmy communities) to take over people who were already posting content.

Maybe that's not what's happening, which is great! People are obviously confused, so you're not doing a good job of explaining yourselves or what's happening in any event.
