It's pretty funny reading the comments because honestly I would generally agree with the meme. But I'm coming at this from the perspective of a systems administrator and when it comes to dealing with networking and security most of the people I see coming out of college with degrees don't know a goddamn thing. Their courses are like 10 years out of date and not even remotely relevant to the real world but because they spent so much money on getting it they are very inflexible about changing how they were taught.
Meanwhile when I find somebody out on the street who just has had a passion for computers since they were like five they tend to be extremely on top of current security and networking needs and more than willing to be flexible and change how things are done when the situation calls for it.
You can actually fix this in the settings there's an option for permanent prompt tunings and you can add things like "focus on concise answers" or my favorite " i don't need to be glazed , I don't need to be told that it's an insightful question or reaches the heart of the matter. Just focus on answering the question"
The implication is that it's because most doorbell companies will happily sell your data and likely gave them access to a constant unending stream of doorbell footage
I think you misunderstand. They are making technical decisions that are incompatible with ux decisions. In order to make a better user experience they would need to change how the protocol was made, thus undoing thing that they chose for technical reasons.
Like the way they chose to do the custom emoji makes sense on a technical level for a de Federated protocol but it also is fundamentally incompatible with a good user experience. Same with the forest verification of devices that's bad ux even if it is technically better
No it doesn't, matrix was designed by people with no concept of ux. It focuses on things that are technically correct but something average people won't put up with. Like the forced verification of devices, normal people don't care and don't understand what that even is and will be annoyed that every time they try to log in they are prompted to insert a stupid key just so that they can see their chat history.
Doesn't help that tons of the clients especially the web one can't be bothered to remember being authenticated and you have to do it literally every time but even with that fix just having to do that in general is going to put people off.
Then there's just a bunch of base protocol stuff that's dumb the way they finally implemented custom emoji is the stupidest thing I've ever seen and makes what should be a simple easy click to add a sticker and then use it turn into this complicated mess that nobody's going to bother with. On a technical level it made sense sure but on a user experience level it makes no sense at all.
And I say this is someone that self-hosts basically anything I can get my hands on, I've got Seafile, immich, piped, jellyfin, microbin, among various others. I keep trying matrix and keep finding myself getting annoyed enough to stop using it
The problem is that there isn't really anywhere to Exodus to. I already know people here on Lemmy are going to say Matrix but that's just not an option. It's trash, the protocol was designed by idiot neck beards that have never heard the term UX. Pretty much everything was done in a way that while technically speaking is efficient makes it unbelievably tedious to actually use and in some cases just outright annoying ensuring that users will never want to use it. Most recent example is forcing device verification, it is technically correct, it is better from a security standpoint it is better from a verifiability standpoint. But for the average user who could not give less of a shit about that it is nothing more than something that pisses them off and annoys them every single time they open the application because despite the fact that they should be remembering at least in my testing it almost never does and I have to put in my stupid key every single God damn time especially if I'm using it in the browser.
Teamspeakers trying to rebuild itself to be more Discord like but it's still in early beta and not at all ready for it so that's not an option, and everything else is pretty much either just as shit or just as likely to implement this tomorrow as Discord
Greatly depends on the question being asked. Some questions actually talking to someone would like to yield better information but there are a lot of subjects where I'm going to get vastly better information from Google.
It's because people lack the ability to subjectively look at all possible aspects of life. They latch on to one thing that's better and say that means the entire country is better. For example China objectively has better public transportation and infrastructure around things like internet and cellular despite also being an absolutely massive land mass. Pretty much anywhere has objectively better health care than the USA. So if those things have been causing them grief lately in their life they are going to latch on to that and declare that the country that has the better that is better in general even if there are other aspects not related to those subjects that would ultimately make life much worse
Literally always have my volume at maximum have never seen this particular screen. Sometimes I've seen just the basic toast notification that they don't recommend raising the volume more but I can just keep pressing the button to raise it anyway i've never seen a full last screen going about a limit
This is such a weird problem for me, because i don't like just believing what people say. Crowd mentality is bad and almost always missing information or just outright wrong. however, in this instance, i dont WANT to see the proof/evidence either. And elon is a POS so I guess I'm just defaulting to assuming it's true on this one
Because propaganda has convinced people that a car is useless if it can't go 300+mi AND only take a few minutes to be ready to do it again. Range anxiety, even though they only fill up maybe once a week and could easily charge an ev at home with just a standard outlet not even a special charger and keep up with their actual real daily use
I'm very curious what political message shapez is sending. It's a factory building game that takes place in a seeming void where magical shapes appear out of nowhere and then simply get thrown into what appears to be a black hole there's no particular discernible story or message just a fun puzzle
