Obsidian is also in the "built with Electron, and doesn't make me want to scream" bucket for me.

I would argue that VSCode is the big exception.

Directional location is pretty innovative.

I suspect device coverage, relative to tile, even in countries not dominated by Apple, composes of a couple orders of magnitude more devices.

Great question. I’m trying to change my narcissistic tendencies that sneak into many aspects of my life and relationships. I struggle seeing things from other people’s perspectives, get extremely defensive if feel challenged and often empathy doesn’t come as natural to me as I would like.

You should do this anyway - it funds great original educational content, and is quite good value.

Okay. Trying picking up a iPhone X (releases Sep 2017) vs iPhone 14 Pro and see the difference. There are a lot of quality of life improvements that make a noticeable difference in user experience.

  • 120hz
  • better battery life
  • 2x as fast charge
  • much brighter screen, always on if that interests you
  • triple camera sensors, with wide lens vs double, no wide lens
  • LiDAR to improve portrait photos
  • faster Face ID (used 100s of times a day)
  • satellite communication for emergencies
  • MagSafe charging/docking ability
  • 5G (really only find it useful for hotspots)

I can confidently say everyone of these features has improved my user experience. None of them by their self are earth shattering, but taken as a whole, the constant iterative improvements have amounted to quite a lot.

Agreed, but that is not what OP said.

Dijon, grainy, honey, yellow, brown, spicy, Coleman’s, German… so many mustards to chose from.

Another suggestion would be to not include the number of blocks in the label. That doesn’t make sense. If you want an absolute number to be included, but the weight (scaled to millions of tons appropriately). It is less abstract than number of blocks.

Also, this is more subjective, but the font makes it look very amateur in my opinion.

Interesting data, but I don’t think it is beautifully presented. Bar charts, or maybe a blown up pie charts may be easier to grasp the scale.

Blobs of the largely same color, dispersed in a random pattern make it hard to quickly see scale

Their sidebar appears to be intentionally vague. It is overwhelmingly low quality memes.

 

I understand that a user on any instance can subscribe to any community in the fediverse, but I have been a bit confused when searching for communities to join. Sometimes there are communities on different instances, with the exact same name.

  • Do these communities talk to each other at all, or are they completely separate, with a different host, posts, mods, subscribers etc.

  • Should I just join the largest (and presumably, most active) one?

  • Is there anything in place to discourage communities of same name, but different instances, from “competing”?
