If you go back to an older version of Windows, it becomes clear how bad Microsoft has become. Try Windows 95 and you'll be surprised how clean it is. How few distractions the OS is showing into your face. How tidy the menus are and they also give you little hints for the keyboard shortcuts
Yeah, that is a terrible violation of trust. A parent should stop listening when they find out that they have a copy of such conversations of their child. They shouldn't write a newspaper article with citations about it
Not so good - issue is that your "code" for electrical installations doesn't include balcony solar and that your institutions are not able to include it because of reasons that do not make sense to anyone outside the USA
The question is if the latest research is real research. You know, by doctors and scientists, research institutions, with peer review and well, science or if it is some pseudo science or someone peddeling snake oil
Other countries also have the problems with the birth rates, but Putin is accelerating that. Murdering and crippling his young men in a senseless war. Keeping millions of men in the army away from home, far away from their girlfriends. Pushing people to leave the country, if they can. The problem might be there without Putin, but the war is making it so much worse
And you know who found out about all those issues? Other doctors and scientists. And not the random weirdo posting on Facebook about herbal tea or homeopathy
Lemmy is totally open to vote manipulation. If I want to harass you, I can create accounts on multiple instances and downvote every post or comment you make with 100s of accounts. That might be a little obvious, but you can totally swing policital discussions with a small network of accounts here (just give everything pro palestina 40 upvotes and downvote every pro israel post 50 downvotes) and local admins have no method of checking that you are using multiple accounts. All they get is the federated upvote.
And, well, the whole Nicole situation also shows that there are huge holes in spam protection.
Yes - I was surprised recently how useless the text selection and editing features on Android are. I had to edit a bigger document (like 70 pages) where I had to move some paragraphs, delete some and so on. No problem on a desktop even on a smaller screen, but Android was surprisingly unusable
Yeah, the switch to a database in the backend did introduce a lot of bugs. Let's hope that it will get better soon, Martin is really quick and it looks like there are no major issues, just some small things that can be fixed quickly
Yes, I do. It's great because you can take it everywhere and it also gives you the flexibility to sketch, write, design your own layout or glue in other things. That is something that no software is able to do without hassle.
But: My handwriting is totally unreadable, I never found a OCR software that works on it and it really sucks to search in handwritten notes
It's a really horrible way of doing business. Fitbit had its own niche, kind of great products, name recognition, global distribution and more. Then Google came, bought them and now we're left with one Pixel watch, everything else on life support and a destroyed company.
