  • KDE already does have the same thing in its settings

    • Apple's called Android a "massive tracking device" in an internal presentation

  • But then you can't use any apps that require Play Services. The killer feature of GrapheneOS is letting you run Play Services in a sandbox.

    • What a time to be alive

    Jump

  • That said, many of our clients still don’t support utf-8 so its all ascii and non-latin alphabets are screwed.

    Ah, yes, I heard about that sort of thing. Some bank getting a GDPR complaint because they couldn't correct the spelling of someone's name, because their system uses EBCDIC.

  • There is no mouse unless you're watching on a PC

    • Lemmy users when I mention I pay for Youtube Premium

    Jump

  • What other service will let me watch YouTube videos?

    • Who the hell likes Chromatic Aberration?

    Jump

  • And film grain

    • Microsoft fixes the Excel feature that was wrecking scientific data

    Jump

  • Even before this, you could just set the format of the column as text

    • “MP3 is dead” missed the real, much better story. MP3 is supported by everything, everywhere, and is now patent-free.

    Jump

  • AAC-LC is patent free too nowadays (not HE-AAC, but that's mainly useful for low-bitrate stuff).

    • “MP3 is dead” missed the real, much better story. MP3 is supported by everything, everywhere, and is now patent-free.

    Jump

  • Pretty much everything plays AAC though (unless it's some cheap mp3 player)

    • This is why we hate you

    Jump

  • And of course later on the alpha quadrant gets most of the mentions since that's where the wormhole to the gamma quadrant is located. Though presumably Voyager would have spent half of their voyage home in the beta quadrant, had they not found a shortcut.

    • The Pixel 8 is Google's weakest small flagship in years - Android Police

    Jump

  • And at least now the Pixel 8 has a 120 Hz screen, while the Pixel 7 only had 90 Hz

    • eReaders for Selfhosted book collections

  • If you go to the page without the trailing slash, the images don't load

    • if you could standardise a file format for a specific task what would you pick and why

    Jump

  • I assume you're gonna back that up with a double blind ABX test?

    • haha patents

    Jump

  • Plenty of people will

    • Microsoft Edge, anyone?

    Jump

    • This is Microsoft’s new disc-less Xbox Series X design with a new gyro controller

    Jump

  • I hope it actually has gyros, so XBOX can finally get gyro aim. I don't play on XBOX, but maybe support for that in XBOX controllers would make devs more inclined to support it. But the document only mentions an accelerometer.

    Also, what's up with controllers dropping face button colors? The PS5 did the same thing.

    • PSA: If you still have a Mojang account for Minecraft: Java Edition, you have less than a week left to migrate to a Microsoft account to avoid profile deletion

  • 17:00 pm? So, 5:00 the next day?

    • Hydrogen locomotive

    Jump

  • For what? Trolleys?

    For most trains in Europe. For example I can mention the Iron Ore Line in north Sweden which has 8600 trains. Which isn't as heavy as some of the coal or ore trains around the world, but it's at up to a 1% incline.
