3·1 year agoNot sure if you’re talking about me but if so, touché because I definitely don’t believe that but now I look like a hypocrite. 😂

2·1 year agoI don’t know, I still see a lot of people not knowing this. I’ve seen iPhone users get confused when I use Safari to go to a website rather than the Google app on their phone.
It’s really a shame because you just know that that Google app is just spyware.

10·1 year agoI think it’s a CSS issue. Word wrapping won’t break apart the amount because it’s considered one “word.”
There are ways to address it though.

2·1 year agoAs a developer it’s quite shocking the grip AWS has on the internet. I run a side business that’s AWS-free and loving it, but its tentacles are probably behind everything I use as an end-user. Everything at my full-time job is built on AWS.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•have you ever been given a warning or suspension for using profane language at work?
7·1 year agoWhile working in fast food working as a manager I had a store manager that would cuss you out, but one thing I loved about her is I would cuss back and explain myself to which she’d be like “oh, that makes sense.”

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•I can imagine the "will you be using the mobile app?" question to get cheaper food is going to devolve into the Mark of the Beast and someday no one will be able to buy anything without using the apps
16·1 year agoTheir app was so futuristic on the original iPhone, then it went to shit pretty quick. It looks/behaves like an unmaintained Ruby on Rails 3.1 app.
I don’t think I’d make that information public were I in their shoes. Wouldn’t that be a hint for anyone attempting to crack them?
I’m explaining why I’m a programmer for some context why I’m interested in technology, not to argue that all programmers hate gaming.
I was replying against the smug “you must’ve been born in the 2000s” comment. I’m arguing that not everyone is into gaming just because this is a technology community, and to maybe drop the attitude because someone isn’t cOoL like them because they were born earlier. 🙄

4·1 year agoI noticed you linked to a news source and it reminds me how close to impossible it is find information directly from the government unless you’re wiling to go to some homepage and click 16 trillion times, and hopefully you’re blocking third-party scripts because for some reason AdSense is loaded on every fucking page.
If you already have an account, after login there will be like 16 alerts (“flash” alerts in Ruby on Rails speak) and if you’re lucky maybe one is relevant to you.

I was born in the late 1980s, can I know what it is?
Edit: Looks like a game. Are we assuming everyone in a technology community cares about video games? I’m a programmer but can’t get into video games at all.

2·1 year agoI wonder how this works in other countries because I know it’s normal to do (what we call) ACH-to-ACH transfers.
I’m actually all for speeding up ACH and using it more often (rather than P2P transfers apps), but you raise a valid concern here.

Apple@lemmy.world•Apple Working on New Magic Mouse 2, Magic Trackpad 2 and Magic Keyboard
2·1 year agoI think I’m talking about the speakers and codecs themselves. I always try them in the Apple Store with high hopes but the audio is blatantly compressed: it sounds “tinny” while lows and mids come out poorly reproduced.
I know that with Bluetooth there is limited bandwidth, so even with high quality source files it’s always going to be (re-)encoded with AAC. Apple ditched aptX which is a shame, because at least the quality was much higher than AAC.
I use an AudioQuest DragonFly while listening to music, and it’s clunky for sure but I don’t want to be forced to use Bluetooth and compression.
I actually still crack up whenever I see unhinged.
