I chose Xamarin in the early days of Bitwarden because it was a technology that I was proficient at (.NET and C#) and it afforded me the time to maintain a mobile app along with all the other apps I was building for Bitwarden. Xamarin is a real time saver, for sure and it has served us well over the past 8 years, but it comes with some downsides as well: ...

Making art and writing just happens to be easy to automate with neural networks and machine learning, neither of which was originally researched for the purpose of replacing artists and writers.

Good luck disassembling a ship with a neural network. And maybe do some research about the difficulties of application-specific robotics.

Explanation:

In decimal (DEC), we count to 9 before adding a new digit. For example, the number after 9 is 10, and the number after 19 is 20.

In octal (OCT), we count to 7 before adding a new digit. The number after 7 is 10 and the number after 17 is 20.

There is just a general assumption that they’re smart enough not to waste their time with it and they have better things to do, like actual hobbies and friends/family to see.

Did you actually ask other people what they think, or are you projecting? Because this doesn’t represent me at all

AMD's had some buggy drivers and misleading graphs, but they're overall infinitely more consumer-friendly than Nvidia

Two years ago, a feature was added to Android 12 where the previous audio source would fade out when a different source starts playing (e.g. you start a YouTube video while music is playing).

A post was made on XDA on 18 May, 2021:

Audio focus is determined by the app in question that's playing media. Google explained that when an app requests audio focus while another app has the focus and is playing, the framework forces the playing app to fade out. This will be a nice change because instead of another app abruptly ending its audio stream whenever the user starts another session, Android 12 will nicely fade out the old stream that's lost focus.

I remember being very impressed with this feature and found it satisfying every time. However, after buying a Samsung Galaxy A24 running Android 13, I was disappointed to discover that this feature is missing.

This is yet another reason why I can't wait to install a custom ROM on this phone. For now, though, I guess I'll just have to wait.

User jAm-0 has issues getting into and out of his phone's bootloader. He attributes this to the bootloader being corrupt and wants to replace it.

jAm-0 posts "Is it possible to re-flash the stock bootloader? I believe mine is corrupt somehow. It's a bit hard to explain how it's acting without actually seeing it, but it acts sporadic and barely works half the time. For example I can't reboot into the bootloader via adb, trying to power off the phone via bootloader doesn't work, and 9/10 times I try to turn my phone on it goes right to the bootloader."

User return.of.octobot provides instructions to allow reflashing the bootloader. One of the steps is to run fastboot flashing unlock_critical, which allows the bootloader to be overwritten.

Overwriting the bootloader is the only way to hard brick most devices, and fastboot flashing unlock_critical tells Android you don't care and are willing to take the risk. Hard bricking makes a device unfixable on the software level.

return.of.octobot provides instructions, including the step of running fastboot flashing unlock_critical, without any disclaimer

jAm-0 has another question and receives responses from return.of.octobot and another user, nrage23. Again, no disclaimers are given and the word "brick" isn't even brought up.

nrage23 responds to another question with "You have to do the flashing unlock critical if you have not to flash things like bootloader, boot, and modem."

jAm-0 hard bricks their phone.

after nrage23 responds to the same question, jAm-0 responds with "Great to know, thanks for the info. Too bad my phone is hardbricked now. Wont power on. Wont connect to pc. No fastboot. No recovery. Beautiful paper weight"

causing users to suggest that Reddit admins are interfering with their art (there is no evidence so far that would prove this)

If you watch the time lapse, you'll see that the guillotine was wiped away in an instant, which would either require mass coordination or admin privileges. There's also the fact that it was removed in chunks, not pixel-by-pixel. Also, it was proven last year that one of the mods didn't have a cooldown.

Reddit has been thrown into chaos because the company began charging for access to its API

No, it's because they began charging an amount that isn't affordable to third-party app developers and with very little notice. They also lied about being willing to work with developers and they made false allegations against Apollo's developer.

I couldn't find a solution on the internet when I had this problem, so I thought I might share this with other people who run into it.

Consistency

As you may know, a message written in one Reddit client doesn't display the same in another. Here's an example:

Example

```
First line
Second line
```

reddit.com and the official app both render this correctly:

First line
Second line

old.reddit.com, however, renders everything on one line:

First line Second line

They also differ in how they render subscripts with parentheses (a^(\(b\))), nested subscripts (a^b^c), and code blocks and lists that immediately follow text.

Lemmy doesn't have these issues, since its Markdown specification is clearly defined.

Images

On Reddit, if you want to add images to a text post, you have to use the Fancy Pants editor on reddit.com. If you attempt to edit such a post on the official app, a third-party app, old.reddit.com or the mobile site, these images simply turn into links. Additionally, you can't attach images in comments.

Lemmy lets you attach images from anywhere, including comments.
