The Silicon Masterclass

Fuck WordPress, but also it kinda sounds like WordPress is more in the right here.

It’s not the scraping itself, but the purpose of the scraping, that can be problematic. There are good reasons for public sites to allow scraping.

They really decided to be annoying to the very end. Typical Kaspersky.

Scrolled too far to find this

well, if whatever code automatically turns plaintext links into hyperlinks isn’t Markdown related, then it’s still the instance or client you’re using that has the problem. before they edited the trailing space in, it was working correctly on my end. You should consider looking into it and filing a bug.

That would seem to be a failure of your client’s or instance’s Markdown parsing. The link works correctly from Mbin.

Touch typing. Like I said I cannot find any reputable statistics. touchtypeit.co.uk claims “according to research” it’s less than 20%, but does not actually link any specific research. There are some other sites like it that are trying to sell you a product and list a low percentage, but I can’t find any actual studies or statistics

From the article:

Your eyes are your mouse when using the Vision Pro. When typing, you look at a virtual keyboard that hovers around, and can be moved and resized. When you’re looking at the right letter, tapping two fingers together works as a click.

So they were working backwards to determine the inputs based off of the observed eye motion.

I have a much less modern VR headset and you can definitely still type on a regular keyboard while you’re wearing it. You can’t see the keyboard though, so you need to be skilled enough to touch type. I can’t find any reliable-looking statistics on it with a quick search, but it seems like that is not a very common skill

On the contrary, I’ve had a USB cable last multiple phones before. I think the trick is to avoid using it when it’s plugged in as much as possible. Another common pitfall is that microfiber (pocket lint) can build up in the charging port over months and years, resulting in a poor connection. You can usually remove this by turning the phone off and using the tip of a wooden toothpick to gently scrape out the lint.

I definitely think they should include a cable in the box though.

that “virtual keyboard” sounds awful, glad the flaw was caught quickly lmao I would just use a regular keyboard while in the headset, but I suppose that doesn’t work for most people who need to look at it to type.

Can you please leave the whole “responding when you’re not the person who was asked” bit behind, thanks

How did you take away “they were asking about Mastodon” when the question mentioned bluesky first? OP was asking for a comparison of the two, which your link does not provide, putting your answer somewhere between unhelpful and irrelevant.

You keep arguing with people pointing this out as if your response was a complete answer… It seems like you cherry picked the middle of their question and ignored the rest. The more-generous interpretation of this scenario is that your reading comprehension sucks. That’s my point.

And if you’re really feeling so insulted by my pointing that out,

Dude, grow up.

edit: and it would have taken such a small additional effort to maybe clarify that you were only addressing part of the question instead of dropping a link with no explanation. You could’ve prevented a lot of confusion by being a little less lazy in your original reply.

One more great reason not to use Apple phones.

I appreciate the dunk on Threads, I wasn’t aware of that icon. How audacious.

I dunno about iOS, but the reviews of the Garmin Connect app on the Play Store are… very consistently negative over the last handful of months. There was apparently a significant redesign that made a lot of information less accessible. I was thinking about getting one of their cheaper fitness trackers, but I’m less sure about that after seeing those reviews.

Having your Google Accounts linked to your phone is the same as being logged into them at all times. I believe the person you’re replying to might not use Google Account integration.

My hunch is that “average ownership lifetime” for mobile phones is MUCH lower than you or I (or anyone who is careful with their phone) probably expects. There is probably a too-big segment of the market that is trading in yearly for a newer model.
