How arduous is that for non developers? Is this something a regular non-technical person can do?

Glad there is a workaround, I’m mostly curious how likely it is to be used.

Only sometimes. I’ve seen the mute button be disabled on numerous machines. Worth knowing and trying when the screen is blaring ads at you, but my success rate has been low in muting them.

That’s a neat idea, and on the surface sounds good. I am wondering whether there are unseen issues with this type of setup.

Similar to how I have found success with it. Is it revolutionary? No, not at all. But it’s a variable sized (big for some use and nonexistent for other use) incremental tool that requires a new skill set to use effectively.

Mix in all of the hype and its easy to see why people are confused and why some get different results.

Not automated, but I have a regular signal backup to a local folder that occurs nightly. I manually push a copy up to proton drive once a month or so. 🤷‍♂️

That is because signal already stores media for 45 days as part of ensuring delivery to every device in your account.

I don’t know when Microsoft would cave, but Nepal asking them to remove it probably isn’t going to that level. Maybe they geoblock but I can’t see them removing it for a everyone.

As a regular user, besides tap to pay what do you use NFC for? I get your point that it works, but what uses are there besides tap to pay for most users?

I have a 43" 4K and at that physical size display scaling at 100% is appropriate (despite windows trying to run it at 300% out of the box) and it is legitimately useful. Its effectively four 1080p screens in a grid with no bezel between.

How is it on api availability for third party apps, and further adoption by third party apps?

That seems to be a big driver of Lemmy support, the fact there are lots of apps that support its api. That’s what killed kbin, I realize this is a post about its fork, mbin, but similarly does not have much app support.

What’s the brand we should look out for?

That maybe why they did it, but it doesn’t really refute the point either.

While I agree with you, its that very misunderstanding that bosses and owners have, and they’ll fire regular folks and replace with ai. They may suffer lower quality and even catastrophic failures but it will take time for them to realise and rehire people. All those regular folks will be out of work during that time.

So that’s why every site started charging sales tax at the same time. Wonderful.

While true, most sites do not have the fame of the pirate bay and will not see anywhere near the same number of fans hosting remakes, even if the source is available.

Why is it the people that are ok listening to music out of a phone speaker are also the people ok polluting public spaces with music from phone speakers?

The airport generated photo is totally misleading. This is about swim schools, not recreational pools like the photo. A totally different experience.

Also, all of these swim schools have indoor pools, again the photo is just slop and confuses the whole article.

I have run across one that allowed arbitrary length when doing account creation and password reset but silently truncated the login input.

Took me hours to figure out that my password was longer than the documented length, try it and then have no problems.

Progressive web apps are your friend. They can install through edge having their own icon and task bar button, but they are just the same web just in a special tab with the aforementioned behaviour.

Are you using Claude web chat or Claude code? Because my experience with it is vastly different eve when using the same underlying model. Clause code isn’t perfect and gets stuff wrong, but it can run the project check the output and realize it’s mistake and fix it in many cases. It doesn’t fix logic flaws, but it can fix hallucinations of library methods that don’t exist.
