Yes. Since the mascot is an elephant, it’s Toots instead of Tweets. To the other person’s point, toots are fine for what I showed, anime type channels, but less legal things like piracy, onlyfans leaks, etc. wouldn’t be great there, since it’s not a private group of just the interested parties.

I’m always concerned about google maps because the alternatives suck, but google is making their services awful, one by one. I’m waiting for the day that google maps becomes terrible too. I do have openstreetmaps (using organic maps on android) and I fixed a few things about my local area there but it doesn’t have some of the features I’d like and it doesn’t seem like they have plans to add them.

Just as an example, business reviews. I can use yelp but it is nice that it’s right there. Also, the user submitted things like speed traps, accidents, etc.

Yep, one shape is paid for, the other shape is not (I forget, circles or squares), and to actually see the non paying businesses you have to zoom way in now.

They say it doesn’t affect search

Way bigger. You could have many thousands.

Right, HR is there to protect the company. Your manager is (almost always) not the company. So if the manager is doing something fucky, that’s what HR is for.

This didn’t happen at the theme park, this happened at Disney Springs, which is basically a mall.

Side tangent, but I wish people would recognize that more. You didn’t disprove something by providing ANOTHER fact.

How is it not related?

To be fair, that’s a wild way to lift a laptop.

Being able to swap a battery to keep a phone working well for a few more years makes sense.

Android “swipe” keyboards in general are almost all terrible right now. We had it, I would get the correct word most of the time and I could do it fast. Now, no matter which one I try using - Google, Samsung, Microsoft, that FOSS one - nearly every sentence i type has some word that it gets wrong.

… just buy audiophile speakers and use a dac and amp? what do you mean?

To people thinking of joining Nebula because their marketing team/shills are currently spamming this thread, see peertube (federated like lemmy, open source)

Peertube is fine, but like lemmy (but worse), there’s barely anything there. Nebula at least got creators from YouTube to make ad-free versions for Nebula. If the channels that a person are subscribed to don’t exist in Peertube, that’s not an appealing alternative for them.

Is the statement they’re quoting incorrect?

Don’t worry, they were already bought by Canva. It’s just early and we’re waiting to see if/what that changes.

I bought affinity because I’m tired of subscriptions so… hopefully they don’t do that too.

So…

Windows 10: the “last” windows version

Release Windows 11, requires specific hardware that you can’t realistically add to your existing PC. But Windows 10 will keep being updated

Windows 10 is not getting anymore updates

Love it, no notes.

Personal experience, I can also attest to noticing the issue about 2019-2020.

I’m not sure what we’re referring to when we say pay back the debts, but as far as a societal collapse due to constant population growth - is that not just the basis of nature? If resources become scarce, population will decline since you can’t provide for everyone’s needs at that point. If resources are plenty, population can grow. I don’t see how a decline in population leads to societal collapse. Some countries are facing declining populations now, for other reasons, and they’re not collapsing. It’s a potential problem that would need to be faced, but collapse seems extreme to me.

I think it’s nerds. /s

I think a lot of the lemmy userbase are at least somewhat techy (also see the Linux communities), and a lot of techy people like Star Trek.
