We don’t want you on Mastodon. I don’t mean to offend you, but Mastodon is the way it is. The lack of “smart” feed is a feature. It might be not for you.
They have really high quality displays which accounts for some of the cost and of course compared to a commercial grade laptop like a thinkpad
Is that important for a professional laptop? I mean, if you use it for work every day, you probably want a screen that is at least 27 inches, preferably two. It should be capable of adjusting its height for better ergonomics.
True. Sometimes I look the specs and prices of Apple devices while visiting large electronic stores. I don’t understand how people who aren’t rich can rationalize buying an Apple device. While it’s true that Windows has become increasingly plagued by invasive ads recently, and macOS seems like the only alternative for many, this issue is relatively recent. On the other hand, MacBooks have been overpriced for years.
I hope you get banned for your hateful and bigoted comments. I also hate people who hate ranch on pizza, but I care about the underrepresented class of people who do. They are humans and deserve all the rights as you or I. I am appalled that this kind of blatant hatred still exists in 2023. You, sir (or ma’am, or whatever pronoun you prefer), are a loathsome person and I’m ashamed to be in the same species as you.
What if the focus of Beehaw and/or Lemmy in general is not as a link aggregation platform but instead a community of topic discussion? People are rewarded for posting links to articles with upvotes which only gives incentive to continue posting the same not-read content that they think the respective subs will like (upvote).
I think that clickbait titles are effective because they trigger an emotional response. We have more or less same brains with same biases and heuristics as users on other platforms. So I don’t think that this system can work, people will continue posting and upvoting such content. Fast and strict content moderation, however, could be effective.
The question implies that it was alive at some point. Was it though? All I know about Metaverse is that a lot of “tech” journalists were writing about it, but I don’t know anyone who used it. And I owned a Meta Quest 2 for 6 months.
Each step reduces the amount of users who could use the feature. If they think this feature is important, it makes sense to include it with the browser.
I’d argue that fact checking can be more important today than anything that you’ve mentioned. Modern problems require modern solutions and it’s natural that browsers extend their feature sets. I’d agree with you had they announced that they were planning to merge Firefox and Thunderbird.
It was a great place to share information in a short and clear manner. You could subscribe to journalists working in your area, a professor from MIT or another university, follow sport journalists, war analysts - you name it. They all posted their thoughts and links to their articles, interviews or podcasts with them, they shared information about their new books. Twitter was like an RSS feed, where you could subscribe to authors directly. You could write them and get a reply! It was and probably still is a great tool, though Musk is taking a lot of steps to destroy it.
