It's been 13 years of "no, you can't do in the phone's webbrowser the thing you can do in a PC's webbrowser, you need to install a fucking app". People just accepted it. The fuckers accepted it. in c/technology@hexbear.net

And then the "app" "actually designed to run on your computer" is actually just chromium

The Chinese spy balloon was in fact, not spying. in c/news@hexbear.net

I like how the image captions still refer to the balloon as "possibly on an espionage mission" and "the suspected Chinese surveillance balloon" lmao

I've been putting off finally deleting my account for good for a while now but this would actually be it because it's 100% unusable on the redesign

I'm T4T so I'm pretty sure being a communist increases my odds of getting a date actually

I’ve seen literally one of those shows lol, definitely know the feeling

Are we actually BETTER at communication? /srs in c/neurodiverse@hexbear.net

[–] NoGodsNoMasters@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Not knowing the context, the case in the screenshot just seems like bad communication tbh and I think that would have gone over a lot of neurotypical people's heads. It's conceivable that there might have been some context where that meaning was more clear, but sometimes people also just communicate things poorly

Not exaggerating when I say this comic was the cultural version of a war crime in c/chapotraphouse@hexbear.net

Leftists who sort of follow a sport are the most oppressed minority

The time to stop using Chrome was yesterday, but I guess today is the next best

Lab-Grown Meat’s Carbon Footprint Potentially Worse Than Retail Beef in c/news@hexbear.net

[–] NoGodsNoMasters@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

'I'll eat lab-grown meat when it's available' is pretty much the 'future carbon capture technology will solve climate change' of animal welfare anyway (actually climate change too because it definitely affects that too)

Canada literally has pretty much a straight line across flat land which is home to about half the country/20 million people in the form of the Quebec City-Windsor corridor and somehow doesn't have HSR which is wild

Has Google navigation made cities worse? in c/urbanism@hexbear.net

[–] NoGodsNoMasters@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Not 100% related but one thing I've noticed here is that it seems to have some trouble differentiating between places where you can cycle and places where you can walk. So if I'm trying to get walking directions in a place where for whatever reason the bike path doesn't have an accompanying sidewalk it will just tell you to walk in the bike path. Conversely it seems to not realise that certain streets/areas aren't for bikes at certain times and will try and have you bike there
