I made an HTML page once in elementary school for an elective, and I also don’t get it :)

I just wanna be a part of the conversation lol. But also what the fuck even is this meme 😅

Congrats to you and any other repair loving European friends who can now get the laptop you want ☺️

I went with AMD cause the old display and camera version was discounted

Dude… Thats the fuckin coolest shit ever

Ayyyy, that’s dope!

They said in the video that the resolution was specifically picked for 2x scaling to avoid fractional scaling for linux users :)

I’m just excited the ryzen laptop I was JUST about to order got a 6% discount!

The logo colors makes it look like its from framework lol

A gtk app for YouTube and/or twitch intended for media PCs would be neat, with controller/remote support and ui optimization for air mice.

I don’t like the ux of kodi very much and trying to get it to play YouTube has been a nightmare 😅 a simple app with a decent user interface would be very welcome

Allowing a country’s political party to position their industry in a monopolistic way is a bad idea. When one group controls an industry they much more easily exploit their consumers. Encouraging folks to buy ev’s in general is different from undercutting prices to create a dominant position in the market that can be exploited once you have no meaningful competitors

That being said, we all know thats not why they’re doing it, they’re doing it to protect the interests of US auto makers, which also sucks

Dude that sounds rad! Thanks for mentioning them and explaining what they are, I’ll have to check that out!

What is radio free fedi?

I don’t think something like duckduckgo is gonna be the eventual contender to take on google. I think it’ll have to be an engine with its own index or some kind of lateral solution.

Something like brave, kagi, qwant, or stract could maybe turn into something exciting with more momentum, but honestly I have a hard time seeing them be the kind of scrappy competitor with a new approach that unseats the old king who has lost their way in pursuit of more profit at the expense of product quality. None of them seem like they truly have a new approach, but only time will tell how that story plays out this time.

I think it takes a while for that kind of competitor to emerge and gain enough traction to become a genuine alternative option. The primary option everyone long since adopted kinda has to suck for a while :/

As someone who much prefers gnome for my desktop this shit is so frustrating. I’m kinda just waiting and watching to see if they ruin another thing I like about it :(

Its fucking exhausting

Dude thats dope!

Not the person you replied to- you could consider adding a correction or [sic] or something while still including the original headline unedited

Hope you have a good day :)

Lol. Nah, you’re all good. Just like with reddit the Post’s time in the spotlight passes and no one sees it anymore unless they go looking for it, and the comments now explain it was a misunderstanding. Lemmy isn’t even very big so it’s not like an enormous number of people were confused/irritated anyway

Hope you have a good one! :)

Lemmy is the fediverse equivalent of reddit 😅

For folks viewing your post on lemmy it looks like you posted an ad for framework to the framework “subreddit”, called a community here. But if you look at the account that posted, they’ll see your account is on a mastodon server.

If you edit your post and look at the full address of framework you @ed you’ll see you @ed the lemmy community, and not a mastodon account dedicated to framework

You @ed the lemmy community for framework, not a mastodon account 😅

For those seeing this on lemmy who don’t understand, this is a post on mastodon, but op accidentally @ed the lemmy community, so it shows up as a post on lemmy. Its like if you tweeted something but @ed the relevant subreddit so it showed up there as a reddit post also

(Also: Mastodon is bigger than lemmy and often has more permissive image hosting, so sometimes its useful to use a mastodon server’s image hosting to post on lemmy if your lemmy instance has convoluted rules about image uploads that are hard to manage, especially from mobile. Just @ the complete name of the lemmy community on an image post via mastodon and it gets posted as a lemmy post to that community. The first line of text becomes the title, the rest of the text becomes the body of the post)

Fair enough, I’m sorry for making assumptions about you.

I do think my points stand though

Gotcha. Yeah thats more or less how I remembered it… 🙃

Its a bummer, I used to consider myself a fan of Google’s direction. But lesson learned I suppose, money is power and power corrupts.
