    That only works when there's an abundance of documentation for your specific device. The moment you're on a more recent version of something and have a weird issue, all hope is lot…

    My personal anecdote is that I used to search for "xyz nutrition" quite often on Google. It used to provide a data table with lots of information. Sure, nutritional information is …

    It's about time they stop blaming us millennials for everything wrong.

    > People in cities demanded EVs, yet didn't show up to keep buying them. That's only natural, because two kinds of people want EVs in cities (with some overlap). The first kind wan…

    Nihilistic bullshit isn't the hot take you think it is. The problem isn't too many people. The planet couldn't handle billions more if we used resources correctly. Is your idea of …

    > 100k/year to 200k/year Is this range just Silicon Valley or what is this? Even including just Europe, you're looking at a lower bracket of 10k. If you expand to the rest of the w…

    Lidl has trialed vegan lasagna a couple times now. It sells out so incredibly fast all across the country, to the cries of many vegans in Facebook and reddit communities. And yet t…

    Also, PrEP pills can have side effects long term. And distributing huge amounts of daily pills to remote areas of the globe is much harder than the patients getting a shot on their…

    Right but do they pollinate significantly?

    Interesting. I never thought worker bees retained any mating instincts.

    There's almost no basis of truth in that comment, let alone sources. Germany does not have "overseas territories", so not sure what they mean by that. There's nothing of the like h…

    Sure, but it's still surprising that 1/3 of all data centers in the whole world are dedicated to that one use.

    The author claims it's surprising that AI uses less electricity than the rest of data centers. Why?? Data centers do a million different things other than AI

    So happy being able to buy a Fairphone. Have replaced the screen once, the battery twice, and the back twice too. Fairphone 4 on the its 5th year. I want to upgrade but this thing …

    Lemmy's popularity comes in waves. I was hoping for the day that Reddit would shoot itself in the foot again, because Lemmy's traffic was going through a slump. I'm looking forward…

    In a way, the YouTube channels I follow are like cable: they produce content of different genres and topics on a regular basis and serve it to me. There's another way to use YouTub…

    Like those "wood" tables that are 50% made of epoxy. It grinds my gears

    Looks so nice and it's lots of fun. Great job! With that said, I hope no one ever uses it, it's terrible.

    Would also be trivial for the author to add a warning for users that have that setting enabled. Something like "Heads-up: you have requested reduced motion, and this library disabl…

    AI should not be allowed in photos of products being sold, period. That's pure false advertising. Disclosing is not enough.

    That just adds to my confusion. Some like the chain icon are really small and have minimal detail. Others like the trashcan are huge, and definitely not as small as it could be whi…

    I think icons are nice, but using icons instead of labels, is a terrible design decision in principle. It might be acceptable for your power users, or if you know your project is o…
