Erm, what are enhanced bookmarks?

Had to make sure this weren’t on lemmynsfw.com 😂

Sometimes you’ll post things and it’ll go down badly. It’s okay. You didn’t say anything malicious, you just offered your personal point of view. People disagreed and that’s okay. People don’t agree with my points and opinions all the time. Sometimes hearing new points of view, changes my own, other times I think the whole world is stupid. But at least I took part. Thank you for your previous contribution, even though you deleted it. This on the other hand, is bullshit and unhelpful.

I honestly don’t see a niche in which a new community fits. Surely it would be better to help moderate the existing community. Trust me, Lemmy has enough Technology communities.

Erm !tech@programming.dev exists and does a fine job at doing what other tech communities doesn’t.

Shit, my bad

This says everything really. We live in a profit driven society, so where we should invest in public health to ensure that mental healthcare is available for everyone, instead we count pennies, driving public health workers to become private or quit completely. As a result, there’s not enough healthcare professionals to go around, if we can alleviate that a little, we absolutely should invest heavily in it. Have people using AI and supervise the AI, make changes and make it the best we can. Because a free AI, which is the dream, can help to save thousands.

Purple seems a keeper

Yeah, it’s having issues like a MF.

I forgot that anime existed

I said a while back on Mastodon that people don’t realise just how bad Gboard is. I don’t understand how a company with so many resources sunk into machine learning can fuck up something as bread and butter as a keyboard.

I’m still gutted that Minuum Keyboard never got open sourced. It’s the best keyboard I ever used.

It’s worse that Android 12 and that’s sayin a lot. It feels like beta software that was shoved out the door. You can tell the devs are iOS users.

There are so many things that need refining in the UI department that it’s actually amazing they released it. I do not understand what they thought they had accomplished with this update.

It’s kind of embarrassing, tbh.

These are your words. Now if you said…

My initial impressions are that this is a step backwards and beyond which I feel was the low point of Android 12.

While I agree that much of the UI needs refining, based on the images I’ve seen, I suspect they’ve fallen short to the point I’m surprised they’re poised to release it. I am bewildered as to what the goal was with this release as surely it can’t be as they say, to provide a more tactile and vibrant feeling user experience. You can clearly see they’re aiming to wrangle iOS users and I’m not sure this is the right way to go.

As far as improvements I would like to see…

I would be like, ‘fair enough’.

So you’re judging something you haven’t used yet? Cool!

Because you said, and I quote

It feels like beta software that was shoved out the door.

Emphasis mine.

Honestly, even if it’s 2p a month, it’ll add up and ensure the longevity of the service at the heart of what we all use daily.

Given that I’m yet to find an app that’s implemented MYE, I’m honestly stumped.

So it’s not actually Circle to Search any more then?

Let me rephrase. Upon which apps are you using Material 3 Expressive?

Where are you using it?
