Art floats. I see potential.

You’ll still want a case even if the phone becomes thicker, so in the end you’ll still end up with more bulk?

I wouldn’t talk about a meltdown of society here - this is a natural disaster, not the sacking of Rome. In due time help will arrive, people will bury the dead and rebuild. Though I agree it makes you appreciate how we take things for granted until one day they aren’t.

Curbside parking is a pain, though.

I’m all for hybrid work models, but this reporting smells fishy: why don’t they mention the contrasting scores for companies not enforcing return to office? If they were markedly different, wouldn’t you want to underscore that? The author then going on a self-promotion spree for his hybrid work consultancy does not inspire confidence in the findings either …

As much as I love hybrid work myself, this style of lazy and frankly biased reporting only serves to undermine confidence in actual success stories. Say no to lazy “journalism”.

I think you refer to the often discussed “big cough” origin theory of the universe?

No one here is trying to write a treatise on how nations should interact. India is it’s own story, don’t muddle waters by slinging random and unrelated “but-what-abouts” into the discussion.

Thanks for the links!

I suspect that hardly any mass market consumer cared about security, sadly. And what exactly do you mean with “functional design”? It’s all slabs of screen with a charging port across the industry these days, or did you mean any features added/missing?

Samsung Note 10 and others have a barometric sensor, though I’m not aware of any app using them. Which might explain their removal, sadly.

Sounds like interesting reading, could you please add a link or reference?

I think a key benefit here is that the pre-registration allows for faster processing at the border itself, cutting down on queues at the airport. Singapore runs a system where after preregistration you can just walk through an automated (though somewhat finicky) scanner. No queues after arrival, I basically stepped off the international flight and went straight to the city with barely a wait.

Of course the comments on my local news site immediately filled with people sitting about the dangers of electric cars… Not a good look for convincing people to switch to EVs. Though I do wonder how this will affect insurance premiums and subsequent shipping cost for manufacturers?

Actually I like having a “smaller” space. Reddit was already way too big, with an anonymous giant blob of users. I wouldn’t even have bothered writing an answer like I do now, since it would have been buried under 100s of other posts and comments within seconds. Sometimes smaller and slower are positive features, at least to me.

As a browser, I notice that Lemmy seems much more dynamic and engaging. It’s small, weird and there appear to be all sorts of things going on in the corners which I didn’t notice so much on reddit (they were probably there, but got overlooked die to sheer volume of content). I like the experience so far, reminds me of the early days of exploring the web.
