Not sure how long ago you tried installing linux, but it has come a long way such that there are distros out there that are basically plug-and-play installable now. I installed Linux Mint on an old laptop and just went through the gui installer like you would on a Windows installation, and it was up and running. Didn’t need to open the terminal even once.
I experienced it yesterday. The comments being on the right side can work, but they missed the opportunity to allow the user to scroll down the comments while having the video panel stationary. So the new design did nothing, net zero.
I follow the NBA, and the gambling stuff is so obnoxious. From ads, to fans becoming vile to players for “ruining” their parlay, some players actually getting involved with the gambling, and then the referees themselves too. It’s really having a negative impact on the game.
He works in tech sales. I hope he was never one of the hundreds who have cold called me. Or if he did, one of the ones I blocked.
I also want it on desktop
Spotify without a paid subscription on FF desktop with uBlock Origin is pretty good. It will start playing random music after a while, but it’s not enough to bother me. Just refresh and you can go back to listening to your music.
Name and shame. What make and model?
There’s also the Sink For Reddit app where you can toggle old and new reddit. It also adds a bunch of features to make your experience on safari better.
The other issue I have with conferencing apps on browsers is that they request access to your microphone even if it’s a one-way audio session (i.e. webinar). It should be set in a way where you can separately join a meeting with audio without allowing access to your microphone.
Not on a tv you can’t. They host ads on the same domain the videos are on, so blocking ads blocks the actual content as well.
Same. Similar to those extended warranty scams, you’ll see the disclaimer in teeny tiny print at the bottom of the page on the backside.
Because the music in Joe Schmo’s video gets claimed by the artist’s label/distributor, and they get paid for it. I experienced this first hand when I uploaded a music video of my song on my youtube channel and my distributor claimed it. I had to go and prove to them that I’m the very same person and owner of the music before they released the copyright claim on my video.
There are a lot of features all these companies make available only on their mobile apps, because it’s where they have the most control (and access over your data). It’s the same for social media sites as well, because you can limit them a number of ways on a desktop browser.
Agree. I’m canvassing for a 65” TV and I need to include the entertainment stand in the budget because it won’t fit on the current one I have for my 43”.
Counterpoint: I prefer straightforward no-fuss training. My employer tries to make their corporate training interactive and fun but it doubles the time to complete them. A 45 minute training could’ve been cut down to 20 minutes if they removed all the fancy animations, videos, and “games”.
I mean, if by modern you mean the enshittified mobile design on a desktop, sure. What I meant was modern for actual desktop browsing. It has a great 2-panel layout that maximizes screen real estate, even better than mlym (old.lemmy). The layout is very efficient and makes it easy to browse content without the need to open multiple tabs.
Try Alexandrite. It looks more modern and the 2-panel view is very efficient.
For desktop, I’m now a 100% Alexandrite user. It looks great, and it actually maximizes screen real estate.
The new version of Narwhal is beautiful, I wish they’d develop it for Lemmy too.
Do you have grocery delivery in your area? If she isn’t picky with the brand of pizza, maybe a $6 frozen pizza heated in the oven would be an alternative. Not sure if you have to tip, I haven’t tried it myself.
