hello! I’m Chloé, a nerdy ace trans gal :3
this is my lemmy account that I use sometimes. I am also on the microblogging side of the fedi at @carotte@toot.cat :3
pronouns are she/her
okay, I was gonna say that it’s not that big of a deal because you can just slightly lift it when you want to turn it on (or just slide your finder under it, if they’re small enough) but judging by that photo, it seems like the power button is at the back of the computer? whyyyy??
anyways, im more impressed by the fact that their new shiny mouse who finally uses USB-C still has the charging port at the bottom. im starting to think they think it’s a good design???
the USA is not a “flawed democracy”, its an authoritarian regime that imposes its will on the world through imperialistic means
I don’t care to know if it’s better or worse than the chinese government, both are awful and both will get rid of you if they find you to be enough of a threat. fuck em both. fuck all governments really
opera sure, but at that point, any proprietary software can be used as an attack vector by the government of the country the software is made in, that’s not specific to china
i don’t see why chrome or safari should be considered more trustworthy than opera just because they aren’t made in china
the chinese government isn’t behind every software that’s made in china lol
like yea, opera is spyware, but so are chrome, safari and edge, and none of these are made in china
what does the browser being Chinese have to do with anything?
depends on the OS!
DuckDuckGo uses the default rendering engine of whatever OS you use it on, so webkit (also used by safari) on macOS and iOS and blink (also used by edge and chrome) on windows and android
even if it uses the same rendering engine on some platforms, it’s not based on chromium, so it’s not a chromium browser
that’s true, but platforms like rumble were created to be homes to the far right. we shouldn’t encourage their existence.
fuck off out of here with your nazi platforms
iirc they tried to become a tiktok clone, no idea how it went but considering i never see anyone talk about it i doubt it went very well
i wonder if it’s actually possible to install linux on a machine without a CPU
yea, but that gives you less info
this way, you can’t really differentiate from a feature that people want, but not as a priority, VS a feature that people don’t want ever
i don’t like how they used “want least”, it means three very different things:
the thing can read fucking SNES soundtrack files out of the box. i’m sure it could run a marathon if you asked it to
honestly, you’re right. I still worry that it could encourage an attitude of abled people not caring about alt text, because “oh well AI’s gonna do it anyway, who cares!”, but, really, abled people already don’t care about alt text, so…
to be faiiiiiiiir, the way they’re going about it is very reasonable. i’d rather have no AI but, if i had to have it, i’d rather have that than anything else.
Is Firefox’s user share even big enough to have an impact on that?
still think this is a good move tho
im surprised they haven’t done this tbh
