  • Haven't tried the whiteboard tool in Google keep (didn't even know there was one), but the Excalidraw plugin for Obsidian should cover almost any whiteboard use case I can think of. A bit more limited but also good is the native Canvas plugin in Obsidian.

  • That's how literally all language change happens? People just start using words differently or use new words, it slowly spreads, until a majority is using it. You can either embrace it and be happy you get new tools to express yourself with, or reenact the "old man yells at clouds" meme and be grumpy. I know which one I'll choose.

  • Check out this one: https://thegradient.pub/othello/

    In it, researchers built a custom LLM trained to play a board game just by predicting the next move in a series of moves, with no input at all about the game state. They found evidence of an internal representation of the current game state, although the model had never been told what that game state looks like.

  • No no no, you see, if the employee isn't there, they could rent out that space instead, but they don't. By getting the employee back into the office, they're eliminating those opportunity costs! /s

    On a more serious note, saving costs could be a reasonable argument if the company were compensating the employee for their increased cost of living when working from home - electricity, heating, water, internet etc. at home also have to be paid somehow. However, I kind of doubt that a significant number of the companies we're talking about here actually does that in the first place.

    Seriously though, that's interesting. When I moved all my stuff over from Sync to Proton Drive, the upload took about as long as expected, with my uplink being used quite well, at least when larger files were being uploaded.

  • Well, as long as your devices are not TVs and are online from your "household" location at least once every 30 days, it shouldn't complain as far as I understand it

  • Same with Proton if you enable encryption for emails to non-proton addresses

  • Proton drive also seems pretty compete to me, now that they have a desktop app that's working really well (at least for windows, don't know about other OS's)

  • For drive, Proton drive has been working well for me so far, and it actually integrates better with the windows file explorer

  • Well, technically they can't. Practically, they can at any point just decide to not integrate that Blockchain they're building into reddit anymore, achieving more or less the same effect. Unless there's actually significant non-reddit applications working with it by that point.

    Edit: oh well, just saw that apparently, access to your points is dependent on your "Vault", which exists in your Reddit app and Reddit can take away from you 🙃

  • So what? This is not about creating an absolutely fair world, it's about improving heavily unfair systems.

  • Good luck trying to eradicate every word with multiple meanings from the English language, I guess

  • Basically, anything that involves the data being present somewhere in information systems that you control. Taking decisions based on it, displaying it on a webpage, make decisions based on it, even just storing it, all counts as processing under GDPR.

  • They speak the same protocol, but afaik Lemmy doesn't really have a concept of following Posts from a user instead of Posts to a community, so you won't see Mastodon posts on Lemmy.

  • Liftoff also does that!

  • Windows: "Time for updates! Stop everything you're doing and please wait...please wait...please wait...please wait..."

    How am I hearing about this all the time, but it has never happened for me? Every windows update for me so far has always gone the same, unintrusive way - when it's time to shut down the PC in the evening, I notice there's an "Install Updates and Shutdown" option next to the normal "shutdown" option, which I use if I'm not in a terrible hurry right now. Takes a little longer to shut down, next boot will also take a little longer, but that's it. I've literally never had these unwelcome interruptions I hear so frequently about.

  • I miss the three virtual navigation buttons

    Those are still a thing, at least on Pixels you can switch between gestures and the three buttons.

  • a REAL proximity sensor

    At least the pixel 7 still has that, I can cover the selfie camera without triggering proximity, and vice versa

  • My LG C2 does have that feature, so it's definitely still a thing in modern TVs. It feels unnecessarily hard to select what input source should go where, but maybe I've just not looked into it closely enough
