It's not just the price, it's the whole package. The only place I've seen it being lightly talked about was on the Aug 11th's WAN Show.

TSMC is a Taiwanese company, therefore they expect workers to follow the Asian/Chinese work culture. Meaning basically living (usually literally) in the company and very rarely going home for a quick visit. None of this western "work/life balance" nonsense, none of the unionization stuff. Oh you're not happy with something? Do not even dare speaking up, much less grouping up to discuss or protest. Just suck it up and deal with it.

The price is important, don't get me wrong, but Chinese companies do not want people who won't take any and everything their bosses say without even a slight hint of question.

The first six paragraphs (plus the headline) of this "news article" are the same thing with slightly different wording...

Also, macOS is derived from FreeBSD.

I think the problem is that just like you (and me), they might not know what their purpose is. 😂

Yep. The thing is that in the US it's not readily available, and even if companies do twist the government's arm to make it happen, it'd still take quite a while for people to accept it (if they ever do in significant numbers).

Also, obligatory reference to the documentary American Factory, where the differences between American and Chinese work cultures are shown in a similar scenario (a Chinese company opening a factory in the US).

1. Do not run a root account for regular stuff. This is a lot less common now since most distros require you to create a non-root account during install and a lot of the systems annoy you if you're running as root, but you'd be surprised by the sheer number of people who use accounts with UID 0 daily. This may also be caused by """more experienced""" friends/family setting it up that way to try cutting corners regarding access rights, but the bottom line is: don't be that person. Use root when necessary only.

2. Get into the habit of not blindly running every command you see online or trying every trick you read/hear, at least not on your main system. Try to setup a VM (or multiple) for the purpose of trying stuff out or running something you're not sure what the impact might be.

3. Keep your system updated, from kernel to userland.

4. Get into the habit of reading news regarding exploits, malware and the responses for them. You don't need to become an infosec professional or even understand what they actually do. What is important is for you to learn what to avoid and when something really bad is discovered so you can update as soon as possible.

These 4 steps are arguably more important and create better results than any anti-virus could ever hope to do for you. They won't ever get to 100% security, but then again, nothing will.

Depends on what the pace is and whether you plan on improving your running.

If the pace is slow, it should be fine. Lots of people (I was one of those) get into running thinking that going as fast as possible, all the time, is the way to go. Then they get injured, like I did.

Running slow greatly reduces the chances of injury, and that's one of the reasons behind the 80/20 philosophy (80% slow, 20% fast runs).

However, your body will get used to it and will stop improving. There are people who also insist that given enough time of performance plateau, you may start going the opposite way and begin losing progress. As far as I know there's no science to this claim, but it is clear that the first part will hold water (the part where your body will get used to it and will stop improving).

If you're fine with that and the pace is not putting you at greater risks of injury, you should be fine.

I personally find it rather infuriating that swapping those is made so difficult, and to this day don't know who has more usecase for media keys and varied power buttons over function keys.

Non-IT people, who, believe it or not, are the majority of users out there. I've stopped keeping score several years ago on how many people had asked me how to bind F-keys to something else, but at that point things were like 100% of IT people wanted F-keys, while 70-80% of non-IT asked me for help rebinding them to other things.

I'm a programmer and these decisions annoy me as well, I'm just pointing to the answer as for why some computers come with the annoyance enabled (and often make it unnecessarily hard to change it). I'm by no means defending it. If anything, I think it should be up to the OS to have an easy way to change the behavior instead of assuming what the user needs and making it difficult to change.

Is it considered wrong meme because Sync for Lemmy is only available on Android, while the meme is using an older iPhone?

iOS has that feature built-in. Tap on the notch/dynamic island and it'll scroll back to the top of the screen.

What some apps (Tweetbot, Apollo, Slide, etc) implemented to make that better, is code for when you tap on the notch:dynamic island a second time, it takes you to where you were before the first tap.

I too browse All but am not interested in quite some of the communities that pop up from time to time. But in my experience, just tapping on the community and blocking it seems to do what you've requested. Is that not working for you?

Edit: one related request I'd like to sneak in, is to add "Block Community" to the burger menu for the post. Currently it only has Block User, which forces us to go into the community first in order to be able to block it.

I'm not normalizing anything and I didn't say there is nowhere you can get unlimited plans. I said it's not a thing of the past.

I too have uncapped broadband, but I know it's not something I should fall into the trap of taking for granted.

For me the biggest highlight is the navigation bar swipes support. This is what Apollo did best in my opinion and I'm glad Memmy started to have it as well. Thank you!

Yes, I think Memmy had a revamp but I'm not sure of the details. I think it's still React, but the devs mentioned "learning some tricks and how to avoid some mistakes".

I don't think I'm being sensitive though. First, I really don't think a decision to quit Lemmy would happen soon. Second, even though there are several apps for it under development, as I said, they're all at different stages of maturity and none of them cover all the bases I expect to use in the long term. I honestly hate having to reach around the screen to navigate, which is my biggest problem with all of them now that Memmy lost its gestures navigation. Then there are smaller stuff like Avelon not re-blurring NSFW after you tap on it. Or the crashes. Or the opening Lemmy links in a browser view instead of a regular view in the app. Some of these issues are shared between all of the 7 apps I have for Lemmy on my phone.

I'm going to give it time, I understand very well how most of these apps are side projects. My main concern is that either these apps eventually get abandoned, or they go paid/partly paid like Avelon, while still not providing me with the experience I expect to get. I don't have the inclination to relive the awful experience Reddit forced us through for years with a different name.

Yep, got it. You'll be fine. If you decide that you want to improve your running or fitness, then you can look into a running plan with varied runs.

Ahh, got it. Yeah I guess it can take a toll when people go too toxic, but on the other hand there are people who get their buttons pressed too easily.

Nice, thank you.

Sorry guys, I think it might be my fault. 😂

A month ago I replied to the dev with a wall of text on how I felt like Avelon showed great promises but paying for something based on what it sounds like it'll be in the future is a bad idea. I still think my position regarding this is right.

However, a few days after that, I decided to just do it with the lifetime purchase and hope for the best. Turned out that around that time Memmy's devs revamped that app and haven't added the number one feature on my list (bottom bar swipes navigation) and others are still planned to return. Avelon also went on a hiatus (I think it's related to the rebalancing of pro features). Most other Lemmy apps are in different stages of having some stuff I like, but lacking most features I want.

Hopefully we'll see updates again soon. I'm not going to try getting a refund or anything, but if this flops, I'm most likely gonna give up on Lemmy.

🤣

Yeah I believe you'd have to do it per account. I also think any clients that implement filtering "globally" are bound to cause confusion in users who will forget that they blocked on one account and wonder why they can't find it on another.

Memmy doesn't even seem to have a centralized place to see blocked communities yet, so I think that would need to be implemented first.
