That’s what every company/organization I’ve ever worked for has done. Oh, this intranet tool works okay and no one is complaining. Lets redo it in a “modern” style… (adds whitespace and truncates every meaningful text field so you have to mouseover and scroll for miles to read any of them even on a 4k display).

I think part of why Reddit succeeded initially was because it had some very KEY strengths/advantages. I would say that the old design and the URL scheme are part of that. It fit any screen nicely from phone though 4k TV, portrait displays, whatever. It was a simple design, but extensible by custom CSS and if you knew what you wanted, you could skip straight there by typing r/ or u/ in your URL. Enough reminiscing, if old reddit is gone,I don’t know if I’ll even be able to use reddit at all for anything. New reddit is one of those interfaces, like twitter, that never really made sense or worked for me. I’m just a Lemmy guy I guess.

Most airports do it like this, but I’ve been to places hat need a transit visa just to get to your next flight. Odds are you are correct for a US connection.

I could go a lifetime without ever using OneNote again. That goes doubly for a web version.

Serious question: how do they avoid siphoning up data from states or countries with data protection regulations?

I’m relieved that people are so into labeling even if they don’t understand it. You can’t become informed without information.

Not surprised at the stupidity. People are dumb, selfish, and entitled. Americans are a great example, but it’s not only Americans. We just did the speed running version.

I know several people who run through the house screaming “Siri, where are you?” Does this not work on Android? This is a serious question because I don’t really use voice assistants.

It might be a dumb question, but how does it have it’s own OS like a NAS, or is it basically a box attached to the host and everything is done via software? I encountered some confusion between enclosures, DAS, USB array and some of the other terms I was seeing.

This is probably not a universal experience, but buttons are often faster. Not a car example, but my Garmin Venu watch was a touchscreen and it sucked compared to my Garmin Fenix which is 100% button controlled. I also type way faster on a tactile thumb board than an on screen keyboard.

Its been a few years, but I think it was a Honda Fit.

I consider it space-age. I haven’t driven a non-Mazda that seemed as well thought out and functional. I wish I could rip one out and put it on my non-Mazda car. I breath a sigh of relief that my partner didn’t buy the Honda with a long finicky touchstrip to control the volume instead of a knob.

Same, I’m hoping “ol’ reliable” will last another 200k-500k miles so I won’t have to decide if I want to ride around in a privacy invading, poorly designed smart automobile, or if I’d rather just ride my bike everywhere. To be fair, my car is only around a decade old, but it’s old enough to be missing most of the smart tech, and none of the car’s functions tie in with the stereo.

Since this is a private company, could the internet theoretically flood them with so many GDPR takedown requests (since they’re undoubtedly getting data from foreign citizens) and takedown requests around California, Colorado, and other state’s laws that they couldn’t handle the influx and he gears would be gummed up to hell… in Minecraft?

To add to this. While there is “more information” that information is increasingly locked down and unsearchable. Things that used to be easy to find are now hidden in the walled gardens of sites like Facebook, X (Formerly Twitter), etc. Google Search and similar engines basically only searche ads now as everything else is locked down. It’s an internet full of data… that we can’t easily access.

Has friend 2 set his name servers to something custom, or is he using your network’s default? My partner uses an iPhone and it has some sort of built in DNS so she doesn’t benefit from me installing DNS based adblock on the network. You could see if a similar thing is at play.

You can sync Obsidian with your own storage location. There are plugins to do a lot of what you’re asking for. Downside is that it’s not open source, though your content is all stored in plaintext so you won’t lose it due to lock-in. It also might be more than your asking for and a simpler, more tailored, solution may be out there. Paired with a self hosted Nextcloud server, you may solve a bunch of your PIM needs at once.

I borrowed a Mazda 3 with the joystick dial a few times. It’s absolutely brilliant.

Thank you for sharing. I recently did another round of degoogling/deamazoning/etc. and I haven’t shared my results yet, but you have many of them here! Good list.

Looks like we’re monetizing pedestrian fatalities now.
