Lemmy UI:
So I would guess that it’s not a client but a OS or browser issue regarding encoding.

Shhh! Don’t let Big Clock know that we are on to them.
- Comment on Real talk 1 week ago:
Most people are not that smart and really self-centered.
From there just a little variance in the spectrum ranging from “I think as highly about others as I think about me” to “they are all inferior to me” can make a massive difference on how someone sees and interacts with the world.

One recent… many, many more throughout history. Terror against the population does not work, never did and never will.
- Comment on The US government just banned consumer routers made outside the US 2 weeks ago:
The problem is that this is not targeting the <1% that would just build their own router. Surveilance and control of the other 99% is sufficient.

– and use emdashes.
That’s more a matter of 95% of people not even knowing how to type a ‘–’ with their standard keyboard layout.
- Comment on It's literally science 5 weeks ago:
Same as the ergonomic mouse. Natural poses are less stressful.
Which means palms facing each other instead of facing down in one case, and hands should-wide apart with relaxed shoulders instead hunching in the other.
- Comment on Ford is fighting against physics to build affordable EVs 1 month ago:
EVs are inherently cheaper that CE-based alternatives.
So unless this isn’t about stopping the 24/7 propaganda of fossil fuel lobbyists, it’s just some useless PR stunt.

Not that people could discern Uranus and Neptune based on those pictures without finding those exact ones in their respective Wikipedia entries…

It should be +/-∞
Minus or plus depending on the side from which you approach the limes.

The quality of that picture copied and compressed time and time again is fitting the age of that joke.

Half of those setups make zero practical sense and are only there because someone thought symmetry would look cool.
Either one secondary monitor that can be pivoted 90° or two, one being horizontal, the other vertical…

- Comment on Dutch students create modular electric car "you can repair yourself" 2 months ago:
“We want to show the automotive industry that sustainable and practical design really is achievable”
Funny to think they don’t know already. But sustainable isn’t the goal, maximising profits is.

No, this coding just is actualy complex and low quality pictures don’t show enough

Just set the timezone environmental parameter accordingly. Librewolf might pretend to be in UTC but doesn’t care if the time given by your system is wrong to get the correct time again.

- Comment on The ‘Great Meme Reset’ Is Coming: From Jack Dorsey to Gen Alpha, everyone seemingly wants to go back to the internet of a decade ago. But is it possible to reverse AI slop and brain rot? 4 months ago:
Why not revert to the Internet of the 1990s, before it was commercialized
Because the idea is pushed on commercial platforms that would suppress the idea otherwise.

Someone does this in times in increasing Iridium prices? What a waste…
- Comment on 4 months ago:
Element uses the Matrix open standard which supports bridges. I don’t know if the WhatsApp bridge uses the web interface or API for the PC desktop app, but that one is working for quite some time already.
For people not wanting to configure it all from scratch there are already pre-build complete packages bundling up all your usual messengers in one location/app like Beeper.

Unless you use modern artillery. Then you want to aim ever higher because at those ranges/heights it’s beneficial to reach less dense air layers quickly.
- Comment on Le Penguini 7 months ago:
But the bear referenced there is not the animal but the constellation…
Arctic = towards the bear, so north
Antarctic = the opposite (=ant[i]) direction
- Comment on Le Penguini 7 months ago:
“Arktos” is greek for bear.
The arctis is the region towards the bear, meaning the constellation so north… while the antarctis is the opposite direction (ant(i) = opposite).

For the majority there is sadly a very simple answer…
Reason #1 to be at risked of being impacted by that malware? You don’t care and won’t read a technical article either.
- Comment on Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry 10 months ago:
And adhering to the law would kill my thriving “pay me a dollar and I allow you to club a billionaire to death”-business. So what?
- Comment on Europe is looking for alternatives to US cloud providers 1 year ago:
Wouldn’t it be great if just one company per 10 articles about European companies “looking for alternatives” was actually ditching US services for European alternatives?
- Comment on Gaming on Linux, How openSUSE Stacks Up for Gamers 1 year ago:
I actually like what Steam did for Linux gaming in general, but in the end it is slowly becoming a crutch. Why should I spin up the Steam client (that is neither fast nor easy on resources, too) every time I want to play a non-steam game?
Again… it’s nice what Valve is doing in general and that most of the stuff is open source and thus can be back ported to Wine.
I however find it concerning that the number of people doing so seems to be constantly decreasing. And I don’t actually understand why the majority of gamers -people that are insanely obsessed with very small FPS or other perfomance increases sometimes- seems to be content with using Steam as the one-size-fits-all solution for games. Just simple Wine Staging can often match the performance for older games, for all games once you start backporting some patches and fixes developed for Proton. And yet the contributors seem to get less by the day and a lot of projects pre-compiling patched Wine versions are vanishing for a lack of interest.
