misk@sopuli.xyzto Technology@beehaw.org•Apple's USB-C transition is a confusing mess (and that might be on purpose)1·13 days agoIf you make money on YouTube you can afford iPhone Pro probably. You probably already have one for shooting quality video because what else is there at this budget?
misk@sopuli.xyzto Technology@beehaw.org•Apple's USB-C transition is a confusing mess (and that might be on purpose)2·13 days agoGoing by number of features isn’t really a way to tell what’s premium. For me the bar is set really low which is not having ads, which most budget Android phones fail at.
misk@sopuli.xyzto Technology@beehaw.org•Apple's USB-C transition is a confusing mess (and that might be on purpose)3·13 days agoThey’ve just done this to create artificial value for the “Pro” models.
Correct. They found out professionals have money to afford premium hardware and software so you can charge them that. Perfectly reasonable way to make money, little competition in that space as opposed to general purpose budget stuff.
misk@sopuli.xyzto Technology@beehaw.org•Apple's USB-C transition is a confusing mess (and that might be on purpose)2·13 days agoI rarely take 128GB worth of photos at once so background iCloud sync is fast enough so that when I take a photo on my phone it’s visible on my Mac a minute or so after that.
misk@sopuli.xyzto Technology@beehaw.org•Apple's USB-C transition is a confusing mess (and that might be on purpose)6·13 days agoI’m sure we’ll find much evidence for hobbyists on Lemmy having different use cases from the general public but Apple wasn’t ever interested in supporting that niche at budget prices because there’s little money to be made there.
Regular person doesn’t need much offline storage because they download apps from the App Store, listen to music from a streaming service and sync photos to iCloud or Google Photos. Those people probably shouldn’t store their data offline either way because they won’t back it up properly. It’s another case of Apple treating general public like incompetent grannies but they’re kind of right about that.
misk@sopuli.xyzto Technology@beehaw.org•Apple's USB-C transition is a confusing mess (and that might be on purpose)10·13 days agoThey let iCloud do the thing. Their computers don’t have that much storage.

misk@sopuli.xyzto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Reddit infiltrators, need a shortened Lemmy link to evade Reddit filtering? DM meEnglish1·14 days agoRedlib does that but it’s a game of cat and mouse these days. Facebook fought off web scrapers and while Reddit is much less technically competent they’ll get there too eventually.
misk@sopuli.xyzto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Reddit infiltrators, need a shortened Lemmy link to evade Reddit filtering? DM meEnglish1·16 days agoReddit makes browsing without account harder and harder. I assume the end goal is a walled unindexable garden like Facebook or Discord.
misk@sopuli.xyzto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Reddit infiltrators, need a shortened Lemmy link to evade Reddit filtering? DM meEnglish2·16 days agoI assume those who were interested enough could whip out a script to do that easily until Reddit disabled API which is the moment I lost interest in the platform. I don’t know how people do it these days without getting accounts suspended for automated traffic but it’s something you have to consider and probably the reasons why such tools are not available widely.
misk@sopuli.xyzto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Reddit infiltrators, need a shortened Lemmy link to evade Reddit filtering? DM meEnglish10·16 days agoReddit won’t show you that your comment was removed by a mod and shows removed comments on user profiles (unless they had to be nuked for legal reasons). If you suspect you’re shadow banned or if your comment was quietly removed you have to check for that from a separate account in that comment thread directly.
misk@sopuli.xyzto RetroGaming@lemmy.world•Wii Homebrew Community "Built On Lies And Copyright Infringement"English161·20 days agoHaving user supply some copyrighted software that they should own (like BIOS or decryption keys) is entirely different from an emulator or a homebrew project taking and integrating copyrighted code. They’re lucky Nintendo didn’t sue them into oblivion like that modchip guy because they really could.
misk@sopuli.xyzto Television@lemm.ee•What TV series would you call some of the earliest examples of 'prestige' TV?English21·20 days agoTwin Peaks broke the episodic TV paradigm making way for longer stories being told via this medium. It still got loads of filler, especially in the second season parts without Lynch, but Rome wasn’t built in a day (/chuckles).
misk@sopuli.xyzto RetroGaming@lemmy.world•Wii Homebrew Community "Built On Lies And Copyright Infringement"English13·20 days agoWhelp, they’re lucky Nintendo didn’t care enough. Wondering what prompted this?
misk@sopuli.xyzto Science@beehaw.org•Eugenics is on the rise again: human geneticists must take a stand4·22 days agoSince I found out I have autism I was reading a lot on how autisms develop and have very mixed feelings about how both sides approach this.
Currently the main accepted theory of human origin is that Homo sapiens left Africa and replaced other ancient human species. This is very at odds with evidence of Neanderthal and Denisovan ancient human DNA being present in modern humans and being highly correlated with autoimmune diseases as well as neurodevelopmental „disorders” or neurodivergence. There are environmental factors too but one doesn’t really exist without another. Like premature birth and asphyxiation are still correlated back to genetics of Marfan, EDS and other connective tissue disorders.
Neanderthal DNA is more common in European/Asian populations while Denisovian DNA is more common in Philippines and Australian aboriginals. We know that aboriginal belief system is entirely alien compared to other human cultures and must have diverged a very long time ago too.
Pretending all humans are the same seems to be done out of concern for the consequences it might lead to rather than out of concern for truth. I kinda get it, Nazis started with us and then followed with killing every population correlated to neurodivergence (LGBT, Jews, Slavic people, Roma) so it’s pretty scary.
I don’t think hiding is the answer though and what’s happening should be challenged head-on. We’re different but we can coexist.
misk@sopuli.xyzto Fedigrow@lemm.ee•Idea: Allow community mods to edit post titles of other users?English4·23 days agoTildes does this with the rationale being that once a post is submitted to a community it belongs to that community. This solves more things than it breaks since you don’t want to participate in a community where mods would abuse this and modlogs are public anyway.
That’s a new low because that’s likely a permanent smear on some developers. Seems like it’s a pretty dumb idea, I can’t believe think they can get away with this.
