It’s also a bit useless to just give the one number and not the complete results.

This could mean 46% in favor, 15% neutral / undecided, 39% against, which would put the overall sentiment in favor of joining, or it could be 46% in favor, 54% against, which is a completely different situation.

— edit — Just re-read the article, I have missed the numbers, sorry.

So it’s 46% pro, 29% against, which puts the sentiment clearly to pro…

No I distinctly remember being able to right click and add a keyword and bookmark for search field on random website forms, even internal ones on company intranet sites and such

Yeah it definitely was keyword bookmarks, but there was an option to “add a keyword for this search” or something along those lines

This update makes it much easier to add custom search engines in Firefox. You can now right-click in a search field on a supported website and select “Add Search Engine” to add it. You can edit the name and assign a keyboard.

Am I misremembering things, didn’t this feature exist already in the past?

Also, spare parts are still available for decades old models and they are built with easy repairability in mind.

I really hope this sale won’t change the company too much, but I fear it will.

I[t] seems unfortunate if we do this work and […] the result is that Linux works great without having to do the work. …

Man I just don’t get this mindset of “it was hard for me, can’t have it be easy for someone else. Even if it takes additional work, I’ll make sure the next person struggles at least as much as me”. It’s like companies designing a great product and then spending additional develpment time making sure it’s not user repairable, even if it means compromising a good design.

We’d still be in the stone age if everyone thougt like that.

It doesn’t really make it any better, but at least they let you opt out of data collection after creating the account (you know, when they have already collected your email, first and last name as well as camera serial no.) 🙄

While I love the content on Youtube, I’d like to pay for no ads and I’d like to support the creators, I just can’t bring myself to pay for a service where the UX is so catastrophically bad.

Search is basically non functional at this point. Video quality has to be adjusted manually for each video to not get pixelated mess. Even at 1080p the quality is barely better than DVD. The app caches so little ahead that the slightest network interruption pauses playback. Forced auto rotation makes you grab the device each time you return from full screen to the video list. Subtitles have completely gone to shit and it’s wild that in the age of forcing AI on everyone, that auto generated subtitles are still as bad as they are.

To name just a few…

Sorry for the rant

Oof, that is new, the camera connect app used to work without an account before.

Too bad, it makes me think “wow this is horrible, if they are this bad at developing a simple app I don’t want to find out how bad they would be at developing and maintaining a whole OS…”

Cover the cut side panel with some nice black mesh and it could almost look factory

How hard can it be to produce a simple battery pack, for a company that is in the business of designing and producing battery packs no less…

While that is true with humans, I’m not sure if that applies to Giraffes with such long windpipes

$1 million-a-head dinner

I can’t even imagine what that would look like. Surely the ingredients can’t be that expensive? And while cooks and staff probably are paid very well, are they gonna spend so much time on a single dinner to warrant that price?

Probably also a factor is that you would be spinning up a whole production line and automation systems for phones that will only be in production for 12 to 18 months, after which you’d have to adapt or redo everything for the new model.

That may be but if they would shorten “female soldier”, wouldn’t they refer to her as “a soldier” and not “a female”?

Seeing how similar this interface looks in all the examples makes me think this is not something the airlines did come up with themselves, but rather might be a something offered by a third party that they implement in their booking process.

I.e. not only milking the customer as much as possible by having them bid instead of fixed price upgrades, but maybe even having a third party taking a fee or commission, which will ultimately be passed on to the customer through higher prices.

This is just speculation though. Does anyone have insight into this?

Meine Strategie: ordentlich Nasenspray reinballern der die Symptome von beidem unterdrückt

There are already some: Eurofighter, Saab Gripen, Dassault Rafale.

Although I remember a news story from like 7 years ago, where Austrias new Eurofighter jets couldn’t fly because they did not receive the GPS license from the US in time… So still dependent on the US, even for “domestic” jets, though that problem could probably be solved

The first 6 years of Firefox were done without telemetry and after it was implemented it was opt-in for a while.

While I see the use of telemetry for development purposes, I would not call it aridiculous thing to not want
