waaaaahaahaa boo hoo hoo! ohhhh it's too hard, it's too much, i simply can't display a folder with 20,000 images in it without hanging! boo hoo hoo i'm the built in android folder chooser and it's too HARD for me to load ALLLLL that data!!! i am a piece of software designed by google for the sole purpose of displaying directory contents and I DON'T WANNA DO IT!!! a snapdragon 7 series chip with four cortex A78s and four cortex A55s is NOT ENOUGH!

Lynnesbian reshared this.

in reply to Lynnesbian

ok the reason i was (and remain) mad about this is because i used to have my reddit client save files to a folder, but i had to patch the app to work with the new reddit API bullshit and the settings got wiped, and the app defaulted to a different folder. but i couldn't change it back to use the old folder because it had so many images in it that the file picker just hanged every time i tried.

i solved it today. by moving all the files to a different folder, selecting that folder in the reddit client, then moving all the files back.

i hate android



@TTimo any idea who I bug about the steam game list having the game titles, release date and price just vanish if minimum browser front size is set above 16? (Chrome and Firefox same problem)

Seems like it should be more responsive to text size than this

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

unfortunately the web folks recommend using the zoom setting instead. The minimum font size option is essentially unsupportable (in the sense that there's always a value high enough to break a modern layout website).

Oh I get that, there has to be a limit, but under 20px is not exactly big, guess i'll start zooming in then lol

Before California's $20 fast food minimum wage went into effect, corporate media published dire warnings about how workers would be hurt by getting a more livable wage.

Most of a year later, the harsh consequences of a $20 minimum wage have not materialized--but the restaurant industry is still fearmongering.

We are told that the $20 minimum wage is too much for workers to ask for, but Musk can ask for a $56 billion salary?

This is the equivalent of 1.4 million jobs that pay $20 per hour. He wants to get paid more than a million regular jobs. It's complete insanity that it's gotten this far, even if the judge blocks it.

#musk #equality

in reply to Frank Aylward

I have multiple times tried to explain to different people how absurd the existence of billionaires is.

It's shocking to me that many people who work multiple minimum wage jobs to make ends meet will defend billionaires because they "earned it." Either on the hope that one day they'll be rich. Or that taxing billionaires might increase their taxes? I don't know.

I don't know how to be more clear than "he earned your annual combined incomes in 20 minutes doing nothing."

I can testify for myself that use of the anger emoji on Facebook as cited in the study is problematic, as I'm sure some people use it to express anger at the poster, but most of the time I've used it it's been to express anger at the thing posted, whether bad behavior from DJT or others, or whatever.

Highly-respected non-profit journals like @Dev_journal support scientific communities. Authors are proud to publish there.

But, when your paper is rejected by a glam journal, it is tempting to avoid re-review by sliding down commercial ecosystems

But wait! Look! Development say โ€œwe will also consider papers with reviewer reports from other journals.โ€ Game changer!

Plus: rigorous and fair reviewing system that avoids excessive additional experiments.
