Technology@lemmy.world•uBlock Origin Is Giving Up the Fight to Keep Ads Off FacebookEnglish
24·2 days agoBut if you block ads on Facebook, then what will you read? When I accidentally go to my profile, it’s a post from someone I actually follow for every 20 sponsored posts. It’s a website to watch ads, then every once of a while your ad viewing session is interrupted by some real content

I didn’t see the movie, but if someone is dropped from hundreds of meters, then catched before he hits the ground, the instant deceleration has the same effect of hitting the ground, no?

5·5 days agoWhen a few months ago I read that headline, Trump picks qualified, normal health leader to head CDC I thought: where’s the catch?

News@lemmy.world•Trump administration to pay German firm $1.2bn to halt US wind projects
401·7 days agoInfuriating: https://xcancel.com/SecretaryBurgum/status/2085409733989589124
Americans deserve an energy system built on common sense, not one dependent on costly subsidies
Costly subsides like giving them $1.2bn to cancel a project that will generate free energy?

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft never learns, IT admins rage as a new OneDrive app invades Windows 11 and keeps coming back when you remove itEnglish
21·8 days ago- If you do a native photo gallery and it uses 1000 mb of RAM just to showing 5 screenshots, that means you’re a grossly incompetent coder and that’s even worse
- I can’t believe you don’t know this, but Edge is a web browser, used to show web pages.
- The start menu is a web app and Microsoft itself even admitted it’s the reason it totally sucks and it will be rewritten native https://www.windowslatest.com/2026/03/21/microsoft-confirms-windows-11-start-menu-performance-boost-shift-to-winui-from-web-based-components/
- It’s a UI library for… Drumroll… WebApps!

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft never learns, IT admins rage as a new OneDrive app invades Windows 11 and keeps coming back when you remove itEnglish
21·8 days agosome of the reasons why it’s not a native app:
- it uses 1000 mb of ram instead of 50 mb
- if you install binisoft windows firewall control, it wants to get permission to “Microsoft Edge WebView2” when you open it
- all the other microshit apps like clipchamp, new outlook, teams, the start menu, the widgets, are all webapps. It’s like they fired anyone that knew how to write code and replaced them with copilot
- the library, https://github.com/microsoft/fluentui , is react = web

16·8 days agoThey paid 53 bil for something that has only 300 mil /year in profits?
A 200 year ROI (interest on the 20 bil loan for the leveraged buyout that ea itself will need to pay) doesn’t seems too bad

82·8 days agoIf the “native” Windows app it’s running on a dedicated browser and coded with web tech, it’s still a web app even if it’s an .exe
Did you know that Picasa could still group people by facial recognition in windows XP with 1 gb of ram in TOTAL? (Clarifying: 1gb to the whole system, not only a single app)
And are you sure that the indexing is running locally? Because it’s called “onedrive photos”, not “windows photos”, so they can totally do the indexing on the cloud.

1601·10 days agoUnlike traditional web apps, OneDrive Photos is actually quite well built. It has a Windows 11-like Acrylic design for the context menu and does not take up a huge amount of resources, as RAM usage stays under 1GB
Excuse me, a photo gallery that takes 1gb of RAM, especially in this economy, doesn’t seem “quite well built”.
This fucking web app wrappers, Picasa had 100x more features while using 50x less resources

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Amazon thought it would be a good idea to not include subtitles in a film made entirely with sign language.English
9·11 days agoI was watching rental family (an american guy moves to japan to be an actor and speaks a very little japanese) and somehow they decided to ignore all the parts in japanese and from the subtitles there was only the english parts. In the beginning i was like "ok, it’s to let the audience know that the protagonist does not understand what they’re shouting to him - then finally i had to pirate a sub from opensubtitles to understand was going on as the dialogues were 95% in japanese

“Photorealistic”. It seems a screenshot from SimCity 4

Same for the fake trump statue

Maybe the hallucinated text nearby the white house has a bit of truth? It says “The Whine House [something in Cyrillic] pederast”
And also the fake crater nearby the hospital in Gaza is blatantly fake: IRL there’s only the crater instead of the hospital as unfortunately all the patients and doctors were terrorists
I saw Facebook messenger on my friend phone has a dedicated tab on sex bots. There’s one pretending to be a brunette, one to be a redhead, one to be Desi, also Asian, all fetishes are covered
I’m going to install it on a burner phone to see if it’s normal or it was tailored to his usage
Edit: installed but I can’t see the section. Maybe it’s on the meta ai app? Don’t really want to install that, even on the burner…
