    Yeah. Frankly, if my company gets spied by MS it's their fault. I don't care.

    Everything I put in my Teams has been accessible by my company anyway, and so I use that shit accordingly.

    I'm Japanese and I can tell you they have no idea. The comic just makes no sense to me because of that. Most can't even tell the difference between the two parties. They can't even tell the difference between political left and right.

    Pacifists fear Trump. Nationalists think Trump is a savior. That's all. They are both conservatives, by the way.

    At this point I'm not expert enough to explain more details. You can check font renderers.

    Below is what's in my mind but it's just a guess.

    In typical PC architectures you have IO between the storage and the RAM, and then there's the copying from the RAM to the VRAM, and editors maybe also want copying from the VRAM to RAM for decoration purposes etc.

    AFAIK it's the copy cost for the memory. GPU makes sense only when the hardware allows this copy to go away. Generally, desktop PCs don't have such specialized hardware.

    Therefore there is a real threat that the required majority for mass scanning of private communications may be achieved at any time under the current Hungarian presidency (Hungary being a supporter of the proposal).

    Why did they let this Hungarian pro-Nazi idiot regime lead anything?

    by any process on the system

    This IS bad. Btw they can ask the user to type the password rather than saving it in a plaintext. I can't believe comments on this thread defend Signal...

    Poor workflow. Switching applications is horrible if you have 4 windows open in one desktop. Even gnome is far better at that.

    You write like one can do stuff on Linux with one command.

    However, Linux enthusiasts simultaneously tell the user to spend time troubleshooting problems on their own, and say that's a given.

    It's a double standard I see on the web.

    After I left I noticed how much of my Reddit feed was and is garbage. Most are meaningless memes. That's after removing meme subs.

    Reddit full of political bias

    Recently on Reddit there are memes after memes on election. Specifically, rather pro-Israel "No vote for Biden is vote for Trump!" If you open, you see a bunch of same-minded people complaining about anti-Bibi protestors. It's so everywhere I can't see Reddit without seeing such posts. I can like threadiverse better just for this. I don't have to see the same tiring meme everywhere thanks to having no political campaigning and no forced promotion of posts into my feed.

    At least recently, the hot filter only shows posts with 0 or 1 comment. These posts also get no more comments afterwards. This is poor. I moved back to Reddit because I simply thought fediverse was dead when it was the hot filter malfunctioning.

    I still check facebook somehow (I hate it). Scrolling the timeline, I noticed that it's 90% ads or promoted posts. This is next level... Is this only me? Or has FB been like this these days? (PLEASE don't spam "quit FB already" messages.)

    Steps to reproduce: 1. Tap on your comment and choose to edit it 2. Place the cursor somewhere in the text 3. Tap a key on the software keyboard 4. The cursor jumps to the end of the text It's a huge issue to me. I'd imagine new comers would move to another lemmy after experiencing this. mlem Version: 1.2 (847) iOS version: 17.3.1 iPhone SE Comment example: https://beehaw.org/comment/2613854

    I love this app. One small room for improvement is that the browser icon in the web link thumbnail (see image) can be distracting. Any ideas? I'd, for example, place it bottom-right inside the image, as it's not a key information. > Illogical visual flow. We have seen slides that put the key information in the bottom right corner. ...Try to avoid those layouts if possible, in Western culture it’s preferable to put the most important elements at the top or center of the slide. https://www.ideasonstage.com/news/2019/04/23/2019-04-23-the-7-deadly-sins-of-slide-design/ Sorry, I couldn't find a more authentic source but the above is a support. That said, even if the icon is to be placed to the bottom-right, it'd still be distracting. Maybe increase color transparency, maybe there are better options.
