Where did the recent air fryer trend come from anyway?
  • Better efficiency but more importantly it heats almost instantly. Thing is like magic. No preheating for 5+ mins.

    Plus having a second oven is fucking awesome. I’m out there on thanksgiving with an oven full of turkey, baking dinner rolls on the side like an absolute gangster.

  • Walking Desk Is More Annoying Than A Standing Desk
  • The point would be to be outside. Were traveling right now and I can’t find the link but if you search for wolphrams life hacks type of thing there’s an article he wrote about it which was a fascinating read.

    Personally I have an elliptical at home with a laptop stand on it and I love it.

  • Christian (Apollo Dev) on contributing to Voyager
  • It costs him nothing and makes thousands of people happy. It contributes to the open source landscape which he built on heavily. Search his Reddit profile for open source mentions and see for yourself.

  • Christian (Apollo Dev) on contributing to Voyager
  • I didn’t say he was obligated to open source it. He gains nothing by keeping it closed. If he had open sourced it I could still use it because I have a Reddit API key. If he open sourced it, it could be converted to work with Lemmy. But he effectively burned it down.

    He doesn’t owe it to me to open source it but I can still think it was a shitty selfish decision.

  • Christian (Apollo Dev) on contributing to Voyager
  • Wow, pretty clear how he feels about it. But also he made plenty of money of Apollo and then just shut it down and refused to open source it. So I don’t feel particularly inclined to change my behavior here.

    Edit: All these people white knighting a dev that made millions off his app.

  • What's the worst case of question dodging you have seen someone do?
  • Well I just came here from a thread where Googles economist accidentally revealed how much Google pays Apple (to be their default search engine in safari) while trying to dodge questions. That’s got to make the list.

  • Google and major mobile carriers want Europe to regulate Apple's iMessage platform
  • This is just false, it’s sent over carrier networks and the carriers decide whose infrastructure to use. Google is one of several options. RCS is an open standard and it is the industry standard for SMS. It’s literally why every other non iphone can send high quality pictures to each other. Apple not adopting it is anti competitive.

  • Google and major mobile carriers want Europe to regulate Apple's iMessage platform
  • Low quality SMS. There are lots of things Apple could do to improve the experience of texting people without iMessage, lots of things built into the SMS standard that they do t implement.

    Edit: wow thought this was commonly known. Basically Apple hasn’t adopted industry standard SMS improvements. There’s a whole campaign to try to get them to. Here’s an article explaining https://www.android.com/get-the-message/
