@jeffjarvis Didn't Signal already undermine user trust with the closed-source components (that could certainly do the scanning UK is talking about)? https://signal.org/blog/keeping-spam-off-signal/

@danwchan
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!

This will do! https://mobilizon.us/events/6e20ccea-ba16-4063-a28c-777545b3ed16

@carnage4life How about an article that repeats things that celebrities post on social media?

@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.
