Can you explain what makes it terrible? I only use Vanilla Music (open-source) for my mp3 collection, and Spotify for streaming. I don't think I've ever tried any other commercial apps. The Spotify app seems fine to me. My only issue is that the volume in ads is higher than the volume of the music. I wish Google would forbid this in their appstore terms.
Maybe the concept of "web search" needs to be reimagined all together?

Perhaps the idea of creating a master index of the content of multiple pages on nearly every site is the thing that is not sustainable. Instead, "search this site" needs to be made great again. Individual websites could manage their own search in a way that complies with a standard API that can be consumed by meta-search engines. Rather than indexing pages in the traditional way, meta-search engines instead use a heuristic or AI model to decide what sites are going to have the kind of information you are searching for, perform your query on theirs, and return the aggregated results to the user. The less the algorithm understands the significance or meaning of the query, the more generalized its approach can be. For instance, if it thinks that you're searching specifically for opinion-based content that will appear on blogs and forums, then it will target a federated search engine that indexes those things specifically. But if you are searching for information on making beer at home, it will know to target and weight the search engine on brewersfriend.com and homebrew.stackexchange.com. Although this sounds not that different to how search currently works today, remember that this idea is about having search become more federated and more standardized, and for meta-search to select federated indexes rather than own a god-index. A user of a meta-search can pick and choose what indexes they want available in their searches in case they find any of them to be either superior or particularly problematic, and the meta-search can optionally adjust its understanding of a particular user's queries.

The way I see it, traditional search will continue to decline in part because it's not sustainable, but also in response to AI allowing them to become "answer engines". Although a lot of people do want an answer engine, this isn't for everyone. I think there will always be a market for people looking for content on specific webpages. Whatever that thing is that someday snatches that market away from The Google, if it's going to be successful, won't survive on the current concept of what "search" is.
There is modern forum software out there, and I for one am not opposed to going back to that model. (I run a forum, and for awhile was a code contributor for one of the modern forum softwares)
It was meant allegorically. Despite many attempts to standardize small business computing before Microsoft, it was Bill's efforts that brought all the pieces together. In that way, his company "invented" the desktop computer as we know it and ended the era of everyone making their own incompatible systems.
> The hell you aren't. "Neutrality" always favors the aggressor. And here, you are literally spreading Putin's rhetoric.

Remember when George W. Bush gave his famous "Either you're with us or you're with the terrorists" speech? Pretty much every media outlet cited this as a classic example of a false dichotomy, one that ignored that nuance could be found on both sides and ignored the possibility, common in a lot of the world, that honestly don't give a crap one way or the other. If the [insert whatever term you want for the kinetic action in Ukraine] didn't involve the very real possibility of escalating into nuclear war then a lot of the world won't care. We never cared when it was groups of non-white people slaughtering each other in Africa or southeast Asia: it's pretty freaking racist to assert that we need to care and pick sides now.
>it doesn't even run my web app

By that time, it would be: "It doesn't even run my magic sauce prompt for GPT42"
It doesn't even have to be group fitness. I've made great friends at traditional gyms (I train more in a bodybuilding style) just showing up and training.
Why not? George Soros is socially left-leaning (not to be conflated with fiscally left-leaning) and funds left-leaning anti-war organizations.

The Koch brothers have been funding right-libertarian organizations for decades, including libertarian anti-war organizations. Responsible Statecraft is an anti-war organization that is predominantly right-libertarian however they work together with left-leaning anti-war organizations.

It's worth pointing out that right-libertarians were the OG anti-war movement in the US and even opposed US support and involvement in the European front during WW2. Responsible Statecraft are the ideological descendants of those people.
Your site has very little “content” and is just product listings which looks like a million other garbage sites google sees. Great for ux to have the product listings users want, but the crawlers need some plain text to read to understand what you’re site is about.

I’d add a paragraph, hero image image, cta/etc at the very top explaining what your site is. Additionally you need a menu at the top and footer at the bottom with links to additional content-only (not products) pages - IE an about us, where do we source data, etc. Even 2 blog posts would help a ton. Do not stuff them with keywords but be sure to use the words that are common in your niche of the industry so your site gets associated with industry sites.

From googles eyes the difference between a scammy online ecom site and your site is hard to see! (Even if your site provides legitimate value to users).

You can try posting a link to it on various digital
Marketing subreddits (not the like “rate my website” ones) to see if you can get more feedback - I haven’t done that in years though.

Edit - also didn’t realize clicking product links takes you to external sites. That’s a tough site for google to ever understand correctly since you have so little content and the best possible outcome of a user visiting your site is that they leave it. Maybe set it up to have each product link to your own page for it, maybe with price history from camelcamelcamel, links to the product in tiger sites, generic info about what site it’s listed on, or just crawl the description at the vendors site.
People probably forget that IoT devices can be pretty expensive to yank out again. I would want to move into a home full of IoT devices configured by someone else, how do you even ensure that everything is reset and disconnected correctly.

There was an episode of the Coder Radion podcast a few years back, one of the hosts had moved into an apartment with a few smart home features, it took him forever to reset and reconfigured. He described it as "living in a haunted house".
Non-EU migration has gone up, but that's a very broad stroke to apply. In my experience there has been a marked increase in the number of South Asian tech workers. Potentially the UK is in fact skimming skilled labour from countries that could really use some domestic development.

It's worth noting that:

* A great majority of the increase in work visas comes from African rather than South Asian countries

* Long-term work visas are generally given for ICT or "skilled" work

* "Skilled" work has a salary floor of around £26k

* A curry chef's salary averages around £25k

I can alt-tab my windows, I can find tabs much more easily. Plus, I just prefer desktop apps.

It's sad that desktop apps are so bad nowadays that we prefer the browser. I guess that's what happens when desktop apps are just packaged web apps.
Unfortunately, content farms can push new websites and blogs faster than you could ever downvote them. LLM are going to make that task increasingly easier. I've no idea how we're ever going to be able to search anything anymore using classic search engines. We either go back to website directories, or forward to AI generated content..
Instead of Discourse maybe NodeBB or Flarum (both are much lighter than Discourse in my experience)

I've mostly settled into using HA for basic home automation and backing away from lots of or complex automation. There's a certain amount of time I can spend and anything beyond that feels like a job that isn't adding much marginal value at home.

One small tweak that helped with dead/unavailable devices. I set up a simple daily automation that pings all of the Z-Wave switches throughout my house. Was having lots of problems with one or two occasionally looking dead but the once-per-day ping helps.
Author of the linked article here; re marking movement of shadows, I wrote a follow-up that discusses some alternatives, mainly that one:

It's "excellent" that 200 people lost their jobs?
Railways and airlines are a little different than other unions with the Railway Labor Act...it was specifically designed to avoid strikes. Meaning both parties might be more aligned around their opinions on union activity for railways and airlines, but still diverge for other types of unions.
I think the merits of the conflict are pretty clear: Russia attacked Ukraine, an independent country, wanting to invade it. Which is something no one in Europe has done since Hitler. If that's not clear, I don't know what is...
Spotify has an in-house design team in NYC of well over 25 highly paid art directors (think $150k and up), poached from the digital ad agency, who do absolutely nothing all day besides work on "campaign ideas" and make playlist covers and "design systems for RapCaviar" and generate portfolio-friendly PDFs of work that have absolutely zero connection to the core product or product experience. Meanwhile their actual branding and website (etc) are all designed by external highly paid agencies. The internal design team get to enjoy really exclusive private concerts in the NY HQ by music artists beholden to Spotify. It's all very cushy.

The company is absolutely heavy with highly paid department staff who are all working on fantasyware that does nothing to improve all of the things people complain about Spotify.
Trig functions are where accuracy and performance go to die. Accumulated error is a thing, so when optimizing always consider exactly how you're going to be using those functions so you make the 'right' tradeoffs for your application. One size definitely doesn't fit all here, so test and experiment.
The Spotify desktop client is based on Chromium Embedded Framework aka CEF (https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/src/master/), which while awfully similar to Electron, is definitely not Electron.
What about defense contractors lobbying governments to favor military solutions to diplomatic ones?
Is it true for small artists though?
Yeah, I don't buy that.

Part because I don't think Putin is suicidal, or that stupid. He was counting on reaping benefits from this. Nuclear doesn't lead to any kind of benefit.

But besides that there are plenty weapons that aren't all that fancy and would have made a huge difference if they were there sooner. Think about the mess HIMARS would have made of that tank column stuck on the way to Kyiv.
I never thought they did it 'automatically'. My impression was that they always had to have found it via a link from another site, or that the site owner had to submit the site to Google. It isn't like Google is seeking out all registered domains and checking each one to see if a site suddenly appeared on it.

So if someone registers a new domain, puts a site on it, doesn't link to it from anywhere else, doesn't submit to to Google... and yet expects the site to be found by Google, that is just not a reasonable expectation.
> You aren't entitled to a job.

Total non-sequitur. I didn't say anyone was. Not everyone is entitled to a job, but as you said in regards to policy decisions, there are jobs that are required. A lot of the mail service still needs to exist. We are nowhere near machines delivering the mail to people. And those people need to be paid and they need to live on that paycheck.

> Congress can vote on CoL adjustments for workers, both at the state and federal levels.

Yes, this is the mechanism, but that doesn't explain why or how they'd want to go with an adjustment. It's a bad look for a politician to give people a CoL adjustment - many people see it as their wage being stolen to pay another. I'm not saying that unions are the answer, but how do these workers have a voice when the public actively doesn't want them to be paid more?
The pressure that a union can place on the NIH is not cutting off production. If basic bioscience research stopped, it would be years before the effects trickled out publicly.

The pressure instead is social and political. Union-friendly politicians would haul the NIH administrators in to grill them about why they're blocking cures and cheating scientists.

Thus, if some of the scientists in the union continue to work surreptitiously, it would have little impact on the effectiveness of the strike.
Typically a comment like yours would include a couple of external references that back up the claims you're making. Without them that's just like your opinion, man.
>demphasize the shitcoin

There are no words to express how much we are in agreement. I would argue the problem it is trying to solve is largely nonexistent, at least to the extent that data storage hasn't been a limiting factor since the early 2000's. Even more frustrating is the fact that the PL folks occasionally admit this, though it seems to be done unwittingly. I recall a keynote speech from the CEO himself in which he states that high-capacity storage is so ubiquitous as to make Filecoin a viable economic sector for developing nations. The contradiction in that statement is hopefully obvious.
I have been well-trained in safety and have worked in a variety of environments (laboratories, chemical plants, etc.) where a "safety first" attitude is necessary and economical. My father, an engineer, did woodwork in his spare time and while doing so, taught me safety well. Did you have someone who taught you?

"Cannot imagine going around your own house ..."

No problem at all: feel free. But I recommend that you wear shoes while doing it! [The snake will bite if you step on it, although it is not poisonous.]
The two camps I hear pushing the "de-dollarization" narrative are:

BRICS (Mostly the R and C in that) for the purposes of domestic propaganda.

Bankers and Crypto folks who use the HIGHLY unlikely specter of de-dollarization to drive up the price of things like precious metals and crypto as "safe alternatives.

Even a cursory glance at the state of the dollar shows that there is no reality to the notion of its fall, for all of the reasons you already stated and more.

>Although NIH wages aren’t inherently tied to those training grants, if wages increased significantly for NIH fellows, universities might “raise holy hell”, Wiest says, because it could incentivize researchers to apply for NIH positions instead of those at universities.

This is a pretty weak point. There's hundreds of research areas and problems not worked on at the NIH that are explored in the hundreds of universities in the US. I don't see anyone switching research areas for better pay --- your skill sets are often tied to a certain class of problems. Sure, yes, there may be such effects in certain research areas. But what fraction of university budgets even go towards post-doctoral fellow stipends (when weighed against every other expenditure in a university budget)?
Something like https://hckrnews.com ?
I've thought about it. My automation needs are straightforward, and occasionally Home Assistant ships an update that makes me work to get things back up and running. A few weeks ago it caused my zigbee configuration to completely lose all devices any time HA restarted. That was aggravating, having to go around to each one and relearn them, only to see them forgotten again. Ended up rolling back, and then pinned the version at the previous release. No more problems, and I probably won't enable updates again. I need it to just work.
100% agreed. I'm in Boston, and same thing. And I've been into bodybuilding for around 15 years now, dad was a bodybuilder and gym owner, etc. and there are still guys younger (and older) than me who are way bigger than me, and everyone tends to be either in the zone and focused, or really cool friendly people.

The people who talk shit about those people are generally insecure themselves and projecting their inner monologues on them - and the thing is, all the experienced people have been there and done that. Breaking through that is hard, but so rewarding.
The Russian Empire committed genocide in Ukraine and the Soviet Union also committed genocide in Ukraine.

Do you dispute these? If not, why is it a stretch that the Russian Federation is committing genocide in Ukraine?
Sure, if it were a real desktop application, but it's just the same web UI repackaged into a separate copy of Chromium.
I haven't used the Linux client in years, so I don't know if it's on par with Windows/macOS versions, but I imagine the biggest selling point is downloading your playlists/library for offline listening. Plus, IIRC, the web version (and third-party clients) don't allow listening to the highest quality versions.

I'm on mobile, so I can't check.
And the former is the meaning of TFA, the latter is a fictional alternative intention of TFA where it fails to meet the standards of truth.

If you're buying into something that isn't "a great currency" then you are being lied to, and the thing that you're buying has been derailed from the original plan.
I agree that all of the working conditions you mention are deplorable, and must be addressed. But again, I'm not sure a union is the right way to go about it. Unions only have power to bargain for things like insurance, childcare, or strong anti-harassment policies because of their ability to strike, and strikes are only consequential if almost everyone is on board.

For every researcher whose career is set back due to crappy insurance or an abusive PI, and for whom striking to advocate for better working conditions would be their top priority during a labor dispute, there are far more researchers who are unaffected (or indifferent) to these problems, and for whom finishing their project will always be their top priority. A strike simply won't accomplish anything if only a fraction of workers actually walk out.
This doesn't track, The OP will vote on the automated answer before the question is public. If it solves his problem then this is a major reduction in low quality question spam, if it doesn't then the AI post is already hidden so it doesn't waste mod time.

The whole carbon credit process seems very scammmy to me and greenwashing away the problem.

How is this independently audited? If Google or Facebook buys 1B USD of carbon credits, which is supposed to remove X tons of co2, can I go to an independent government or private org and ask if the actual measure of co2 went down?
What is unclear why that is a higher priority to the US taxpayer than say clean water in Flint as a single example. This seems like a Europe problem.
True, but 88% is high, this article doesn't seem to make a good case for why the other trends are worrisome...

And Russia going insane is probably a good example, where they are shifting their oil direct to local currency since they have no choice given they started a war.
I hate the meetings where marketing and product spend 30 minutes talking themselves into that kind of pushy behavior on the grounds “our customers will want to be informed.” Or our CMO who likes to say “our paying customers like being marketed to”’with total sincerity.

Not at Spotify, it happens too many places.
Thanks, this is super helpful feedback.

Regarding age: no, it's not targeted at a specific age group. Much like an "all ages" encyclopedia, there are parts for younger readers and parts for older readers, tied together by images... and there are frequent omissions to avoid adult themes.

Finding a specific niche to target is on my mind, but it's so hard to choose. Thoughts?
So does Amazon, on a more epic scale. Your point?

The real contribution to plastic waste in Vietnam, is just 99% of Vietnamese.

Anyone can set up a shop anywhere in Vietnam and they all hand out insane amounts of plastic.

Even the charity work I did there to help feed people amounted to filling up plastic bags to hand out.
I mean, as a human, you are expected to use context clues.

You don’t need to know the markings used for crosswalks in every place around the world to know what a crosswalk looks like based on its purpose. There’s only so many ways to create a pedestrian crossing across a street, after all.

If anything, that seems like an extremely appropriate choice for something attempting to restrict access for bots that wouldn’t necessarily be able to act on the same context clues and intuition.
I've noticed this with the quotes as well...

No, that's incorrect. There was never any valid reason for closing schools. Some countries such as Sweden kept primary schools open throughout the pandemic (without mask mandates) and they did fine. Extended school closures in the USA collective punishment of children for the benefit of teacher's unions.

My problem with Lemmy is that I just can't figure out what happens if server A has a "sub-section" called news, and server B also has an instance called news. Do they get merged into one view?
