  • This might be the dumbest take I’ve heard today.

    Everything your smartphone does your laptop can do, too. Therefore, smartphones are useless!!

    Everything AR can do that your smartphone can do today will be a hundred times more convenient because you don’t have to carry a slab of glass with you all the time. You just have to wear glasses. Like I already do anyway.

    The only reason for smartphones to still exist in a world where AR is compact will be if we can’t figure out a way to efficiently input data without annoying everyone around us. As soon as that problem's solved, nobody will be using smartphones anymore.

  • In theory, there’s a Million awesome business applications for it.

    Let’s say you’re in construction and your glasses tell you exactly what to build where and how.

    You’re a waiter and the glasses tell you which table ordered what, needs attention, etc.

    You’re a network engineer and the glasses show you on every port which device is connected.

    And don’t even get me started on the military applications.

    Of course we’re not there yet. But that’s why they’re so obsessed with it. They want to be the first.

  • A non-issue??? That is absolutely an issue, because 90% of consumers won’t know about this fix. It’s outrageous that a consumer facing brand introduces such arbitrary vendor lock-ins, especially without reason. It’s just like HP with their ink lock. An absolute dick move and should not be supported in the slightest.

  • You can control a million things about life. You can change almost anything. It doesn’t mean you can do anything, let’s be real, but every second of your life you have a choice.

    You can get up tomorrow and be a completely different person. Hate your job? Get rid of it. Hate your friends? Get rid of them. Go to a coffee shop and talk to new people. There is literally nothing stopping you from taking control over your life.

    Yes, there’s limits. You won’t be a millionaire tomorrow. But that doesn’t mean you’re just sitting in the car being driven somewhere. Just get out the fucking car.

  • I have this notch in my MacBook Pro display, and system tray icons just disappear behind it once I have too many of them. I need a third party app like Ice or Bartender to fix this bug, and honestly, it’s embarrassing for Apple to not have fixed this in so many years.

  • I’m sure there’s some legal text somewhere that states that deleting only refers to the association with your user account, but the actual genome data will still be kept “anonymized.” There’s just no way in hell that they’re actually deleting it all. Their lawyers are smarter than that.

  • Not so sure about that. I pretty much managed to achieve the second part, and generally I’m very happy with it. I don’t give a shit about what society wants me to do here.

    But I’m still a mammal that needs some kind of social interactions from time to time. There’s no denying that it’s some kind of basic need that humans have. I don’t like it, but it’s just the way it is. So you need to at least have some sort of social life. I think the issue is that my need for social life is so small that it’s not enough to keep a friendship/relationship alive. So it becomes annoying to find people you enjoy talking to.

    Not to mention that just doing nothing all day is fucking boring. Like really, really, dreadfully boring. There’s a reason why you get depression when being unemployed for too long. You have to have some level of stress in order to not go insane.

    Support for new „scaled“ sorting

    In October, a new sorting mode was introduced: „scaled“

    This allows sorting posts based on the size of the community in order to avoid the feed being dominated by large, active communities, and pushing smaller communities. This was one of the main blockers for me to move from Reddit, so I’m glad it’s finally implemented. Therefore, I would love to see this sort option be available in Avelon on supported instances.

    Thanks!
