So this is an advert?

Yeah well they'd taken away the cook...

Okay so they uninstall WhatsApp? What operating systems are they using and what countries are the manufacturers for those based in?

Others have pointed to the very slow development pace. I'll point out something else. When I was first starting out with desktop, Linux enlightenment 16 was one of the desktop options but apart from looking very 'different' to KDE or Gnome, it was damn difficult to get it to look anything other than default. Other desktop managers came on in leaps and bounds but enlightenment just stayed where it was and from what I can tell still is where it was. Meantime, kde and gnome have had multiple major versions and forks. These days I use either xfce or cinnamon, depending on whether hardware acceleration is available. Fundamentally I want my desktop environment to be a launcher for my applications and a way to manage my peripherals and UI preferences. I don't want to be looking at it or dealing with it or spending time thinking about it. I suspect that enough other people feel the same way

I think they might be trying for more than just one up

Beyond what other people have said here, typewriters are very physical machines and the parts wear uniquely at an individual level. Used to be a favourite of crime writers

You're missing the really obvious angle given that this is the BBC. She doesn't need to come down on whether it's good or bad at all. She simply needs to show that it's something interesting to look at and explain how it works which certainly is maths.

Where there's a hit, there's a writ

Struggling to see how this knife design could be an advantage in most circumstances:

  • Very little space behind blade for tang- likely to break off from mount
  • weapon takes up a great deal of space when not in use (for any weapon, you're normally carrying it rather than using it than 95% of the time you have it with you)
  • compels user to adopt only a single grip requiring significant grip strength simply in order to punch with sufficient force whilst not breaking your wrist

Surely when it comes to armour piercing something like a stiletto would be much better

You're presuming they they had documentation

I keep running into a situation where the top menu bar disappears. I can scroll up down and enter/exit posts but I can't e.g. change filter settings because the interface elements for them aren't there. Most recently this happened when I blocked a community- my feed was reset and my menu bar disappeared.

Update April 19 2025 seems to be fixed in current beta Version 1.0.251

 

Why is it that no matter where in the world, what country or what the apparent topic is, literally every geographically specific community on Lemmy , just like every geographic specific sub on Reddit, is negative. Literally every story is about something horrible, awful, sad or enraging, never anything positive for anything geographic beyond a national level and rarely even then?

Why is this with geographic communities and not others?
