Agreed. Also their hardware and software integration, long term support, and battery when compared to other flagship phones, although the s23 seems to be on par with iPhones this time around.
Anecdotally, I have to say iPhone seems to have terrible battery life. My wife and several friends all have had the last few iPhones and they seem to be charging their phones all the time. At least every night but often during the day as well. My Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ was amazing. Like 1.5 days of battery. Then I got my Google Pixel 6 Pro and 7 Pro and it blew my mind. I go 2+ days on a charge no problem.
I suppose to be fair I use my phone more like I did my BlackBerry back in the day, whereas they all use TikTok and stuff fairly frequently.
This is the only way I can read fiction, I can’t connect the words to build a story, also I’m bad with names so I have trouble keeping character stories straight in my mind. For non fiction on technical articles I do not have an issue.
I forget character names too. The X-Ray feature on many Kindle books helps a lot with that. You can just press a character’s name and check back previous references to them.
That is a impossible endeavor. There are countless “news” sites that all push this kind of drivel. If it is anything like YouTube It probably doesn’t even care about your suggestions anyway. I select that I’m not interested in something all the time on YouTube and then they just keep recommending the same channel or the same genre of content.
It will. I’ve been on Reddit 16+ years and I have no itch to return or reopen the app. Meanwhile I’m getting nothing done for work because I have Mastodon, kbin, and lemmy open. The sticky/addictive power is here already.
I’ve been with Reddit for 10 years, and Lemmy feels like what Reddit was around 8-7 years ago. Reddit front page posts used to be in 3-4 digit upvotes max before they changed the vote counting mechanism. Lemmy is already having 3 digit upvoted posts with hundreds of comments. My complaints of Lemmy are purely technical, and hope they get resolved before people get frustrated enough.
I stopped running my own a while ago. Its no longer really decentralized and the big players (google/microsoft) will often just blacklist you for little reason.
That said I DO maintain my own domain and backups. So i can take my email to whatever hosting provider I want.
I also noticed, during the migration, that if you simply register your domain with one of the big players (ie: Google Workspace or M365) you will often get whitelisted and email will flow easier. This was easier when they had a free tier though.
Got the same issue. Everything was setup properly. SPF, dkim, dmarc was all good. Server IP wasn’t in any blocklists. But my messages would still fall in spam with Gmail.
Ended up setting sendgrid as a relay and all is good now.
For future reference, if you find a community that looks dead and you want to take over, you can message the admins of that instance and they’ll look into giving you the community :)
What IT related communities have you found? Keeping up with tech news was one of my primary reasons for keeping in Reddit. I’ve found a few things here, but not a ton. I’ll gladly take any suggestions
It was a limited scale action to show the impact possible. If reddit indeed won’t move it could become indefinitely. /r/ffxiv already wanted to move it to a week or indefinitely.
Disclaimer: I’m not an optician. I do, however, work in advertising and happen to have a number of clients in the lens manufacturing industry. Take what I’m about to say with a grain of salt.
Short answer is, not really.
Diagnosing vision issues is much more complicated than simply “is it in focus”. The shape of the cornea, how your eye physically reacts to light, distance from an object, and disease all have an impact on how you perceive the world around you. That’s why you have things like aberrations, glares, near sightedness, far sightedness, and a plurality of other vision problems. When someone is fitted for glasses or contact lenses, a number of parameters (read, dozens) are required get what is considered a proper “fit”.
There are some similarities between how a camera lens works and our eyes, but you also have to consider that you’re not just looking through the lens itself, you’re focusing on a screen that’s attached to the lens. So, if you can’t focus your eye sight at the distance the screen is at, it doesn’t matter what the camera is seeing, because it’ll look like garbage to you either way.
I thought the same maybe, but I assumed an actual camera because of context (using the camera’s manual focus and printing out the photo afterwards). @WeirdGoesPro ? Did I misunderstand?
Wikipedia is the 7th most visited website in the world, more popular than Amazon, TikTok, even PornHub. It’s not funded by advertisers or other bullshit - rather through reader donations.
With that said, Wikipedia is still centralized content whereas Lemmy isn’t. Meaning there’s fewer expenses and pressure on any one instance or server to succeed. And if one instance or server doesn’t succeed, your access to the Federation is far from over.
Wikipedia is set up as a nonprofit. They have annual fundraising drives asking their users for money. They also have an endowment and receive grants.
when you donate money, you’re not funding wikipedia’s operating costs. wikipedia itself is self sufficient. what you’re funding instead is the wikimedia foundation- which is set up to not receive grants but to give them.
