I like that they used Microsoft Office WordArt for the image.

Telescopes don’t allow you to hear sound from space though…

I wondered if they meant that you couldn’t help but imagine the sound when seeing it - I don’t know if there’s a word for that (or where to ask on Lemmy).

audibly blinking

Huh?

I like that idea of using the different fonts for e.g. Copilot suggestions - reminds me of reading Asterix comics as a kid when they’d use gothic black for the Goth’s speech, etc.

edit: e.g.

Looks to be riffing on this story: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4ngyely232o

It’s good to see the Beeb join the hallowed ranks of The Onion and The Daily Mash.

Well yeah, you need to do the computation somewhere and it’s not doing it on the server so…

Yup, I think a lot of people just use their web browser for everything, and they can definitely just switch. Outside of work, how many non-techies have set up their email to use a native program? Very few, in my experience.

I think documents are sometimes the exception, since there’s a sizable (perhaps older) group that like to use Word for everything.

That’s where I’d heard of them, that channel is a goldmine.

Iron Sky, one from the “so bad it’s good” shelf.

It’s far from my field, so I’ll have to take your word on that!

[Making cracks visible is] helpful, but what would be ideal is a way to not just find the cracks, but to fix them.

That’s what the article says, they’re hardly implying it’s nonsense. Or are you saying that the self-healing is nonsense? There are examples of self-healing materials, like Roman concrete.

I don’t know that I agree - it’s worth researching these things because if it works that’s great and that paper proves that other people are working on the visibility problem.

[The customer] said that Webflow’s sales representatives were uncooperative when asked for more details. He quoted a sales rep saying, “No because you’ll tweet about it.”

Wow, that says a lot about how Webflow views its own policies.

Thunderbird on desktop, although I don’t love it.

FairEmail on Android.

I’m talking about people downvoting from all - if you’re seeing content from some niche or geographic community because you’re viewing all then downvoting something you’re not interested in is a dick move.

I haven’t watched, but assuming it’s good I’m guessing it’s idiots viewing the all feed and downvoting anything they’re not personally interested in.

It doesn’t help that the official Lemmy docs say downvote things you don’t like, which is only good guidance when you have an algorithm you’re training.

“Their analysts determined that frustrating the user results in more time spent on the app—and more time viewing ads—than if users are satisfied. Remember in ‘The Matrix’ when The Architect tells Neo that the first virtual world the robots created was a utopia, but the people rejected it? It works sort of like that.”

Brilliant.

Huh, I never knew there was a mobile version of the site.
