Haha! Well, if the hardware gets too hot, it throttles the speed, so under heavy load, some winter air keeps things running fast.
@Vivaldi Blocking autoplay videos. Does it block downloading them too? I imagine yes.
@cel Thanks, it was really fun!
@carnage4life How about an article that repeats things that celebrities post on social media?
I've been using LLMs like #ChatGPT before they were hot. Here are two things I do to not make a fool out of myself:
- I have a sticky note saying "this thing hallucinates" within my visual spectrum. This helps me calibrate reliance
- anything it creates is, at best, P-creative, not H-creative. Helps me calm down when I see something exciting. (H-creative is a thought that no one ever thought of. P-creative is localized to the individual)
@lanodan Some interfaces still have it hidden, but some now do the thing where you have to tap the letter, it shows the whole alphabet in a grid, and then you have to tap the letter you want.
@lanodan @BalooUriza Yes, I agree. There used to be some scroll interfaces on phones where you could get a big handlebar to touch and drag so you could go down the whole list with one swipe. *sigh* Apple ruined human computer interaction efficiency, huh?
@BalooUriza OMG, I hate hidden scrollbars! Not everyone uses a touchscreen for everything.
@ManjaroARM @PINE64 Ah! You're right! A full power cycle brought it back. I must have been rebooting. Phew! Thanks! I thought I was going to have to take it apart and re-flash.
@ManjaroARM
@PINE64 It works fine everytime I boot into Armbian. Ah, maybe I was rebooting Manjaro instead of fully shutting down. Will try..
@ManjaroARM Bah! It broke WiFi on my @PINE64 Pinebook Pro. :(
@haeckerfelix It's almost like arguing with a flat-earther. :D Ha!
@amerika Yeah, I wish I could find an article I did predicting the smartphone app boom, but it's nowhere on the web archive and I never saved it offline. :-\
I guess I have to republish historical articles that get lost to buyouts. https://bookofadamz.com/why-are-we-still-using-instant-messaging-apps-at-all/ #email #whatsapp
@gugus2000@framapiaf.org @thunderbird The nice thing about email is that anyone can make a different interface for the clients. What I did was write an article describing a chat style interface and 5 years later there are about a half dozen clients like that.
@thunderbird@mastodon.onlineThat being said, the "..." icon already has a proper and recognizable name in many languages. It's called an ellipsis. The ellipsis normally indicates an omission of words in normal language so it makes a lot of sense to use at the end of a toolbar or menu to indicate an omission of extra commands that couldn't fit. This is much more sensible than making up unintelligible icons like the hamburger button.
#UXDesign
@thunderbird Describing a button as "Meatball" is an insult to the designers' inability to create a button that accurately describes its function. If you can't create a user interface who's buttons are easy to understand then that interface is not easy to understand and therefore not intuitive. #UXdesign
@atomicpoet Sounds kind of like Briar.
