Yeah, for sure. Same reason a bunch of subscription stuff goes up in price after a year or two.

why Domino’s shouldn’t just charge less when they can afford to.

Ideally they would charge less, but people are willing to pay the higher prices, so they charge the higher prices. We live in a capitalist society, and they’ll increase the prices as high as the market can bear.

A lot of companies increase their prices but have coupons that bring the price down. Easy way for them to make more money, as people that like the product will continue to buy it, and not every customer will use the coupons.

On Linux, input-remapper usually works pretty well to remap the extra buttons. I wonder if it’d work on this AI button.

EV certs used to make the address bar green, so there was a tangible benefit to them. These days, they look exactly the same. It proves that the ownership has been verified, but if no users even see that, does it even matter?

If you run a website: Paid SSL/TLS certificates. Free ones like Let’s Encrypt and ZeroSSL are just as good, and can be automatically renewed.

I hate that these commercial providers are the first thing people think of when they hear “VPN” these days, rather than the actual main use case for a VPN (connecting to a remote network, like a work network, from another location).

AirVPN are probably the best. They’re independent, more transparent than the other providers, and support port forwarding.

Probably ozempic, since people going off it immediately balloon back up

Doesn’t that mean that it’s actually working, though? It has an effect when you’re using it, and the effect goes away when you stop using it.

Also the version for weight loss is called Wegovy.

In E2E tests you should ideally be finding elements using labels or ARIA roles. The point of an E2E test is to use the app in the same way a user would, and users don’t look for elements by class name or ID, and definitely not by data-testid.

The more your test deviates from how real users use the system, the more likely it is that the test will break even though the actual user experience is fine, or vice versa.

This is encouraged by Testing Library and related libraries like React Testing Library. Those are for unit and integration tests though, not E2E tests. I’m not as familiar with the popular E2E testing frameworks these days (we use an internally developed one at work).

In an alternate reality, we’d all be using JSSS, which was even worse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript_Style_Sheets

Why will it be better in just a couple months?

Explicit sync. It’ll fix most of the issues with Wayland on Nvidia CPUs. Wayland landed support for it in April, and Nvidia recently released a beta driver that supports it. I think every graphics driver will implement explicit sync eventually, since it’s a lot better than implicit sync.

Some great information about why it’s important here: https://zamundaaa.github.io/wayland/2024/04/05/explicit-sync.html

It’s an immutable/atomic version of Fedora: https://fedoraproject.org/atomic-desktops/silverblue/

My understanding is that the core system is immutable (read-only) and major upgrades essentially just swap out that whole layer. Updates are atomic, meaning the entire thing either succeeds or fails and you can never end up with a broken half-updated system. UI apps all run using Flatpak.

I’ve never tried it though!

It’s the radical moderators and developers of Lemmy that censor and delete posts and comments that fit their narrative.

The entire point of Lemmy and other decentralized and federated systems is that no one entity is in control of it. It’s not like a site like Reddit where the whole thing is controlled by one company.

They can only delete posts and comments from servers they’re moderators of. That’s probably just a few servers out of the thousands that exist. Nobody’s forcing any user to use those servers. If you don’t like the moderation on one server just move to a different one.

I’m hoping there will be a fork or new federation project that doesn’t have baggage.

Why fork it if the software works well as-is?

You can run your own Lemmy server and defederate from every other server if you want to, or only federated with a few hand-picked servers.

It’s actually not different from having a right wing billionaire buying a social media.

The difference with X/Twitter is that if you want to use it, you’re stuck with Elon Musk and the types of people that still use it.

With Lemmy, you can join an instance that has values you agree with, or even run your own instance and defederate/block any instances or people you don’t want to see. You’re not forced to see any particular communities or people.

Do you know the political views of the developers of every piece of software you use? Why is Lemmy different?

“please contact your email provider”

Good luck - a lot of Discord users use freemail accounts (Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, etc) where it’s practically impossible to contact the provider or recover a lost account.

specifically it has physical buttons below the screens to control the entire car with physical buttons. That was a hard requirement of mine.

I’d love to get an EV with physical buttons too. My current car is a 2012 Mazda 3, but I want to get a EV to take advantage of my solar panels.

The Kona looks nice. Do you know if it supports Qi wireless charging, and wireless Android Auto?

Nowadays a lot of people go straight to where they wanted to find info - Wikipedia, StackOverflow, IMDB, etc. - and search from there.

Didn’t people always do this, though? If I want to find something on Wikipedia, why wouldn’t I search on Wikipedia for it? I have Firefox configured so that it searches Wikipedia when I type “wiki” then a space then the search query.

adding “reddit” to the end of google search

As if there’s no astroturfing on Reddit :) there’s plenty of companies in the comments there, posts promoting particular brands or products that get to the front page, etc.
