Oof, my bad, posted the message without completing it. I was gonna say that PayPal is a bad payment method cause it doesn't take into account the intricacies of local payment methods despite being used as an sort of international method to transfer money (The play store is a fantastic payment method for instance, almost makes me wish for Google to take on PayPal). Credit Cards are also bad cause you need an international one and it isn't always easy to get it.

It's more of a frustration thing rather than guilty, mostly because it is possible, but not convenient. KDE isn't the only thing I'd like to donate to, but it also uses PayPal

Yes, except none of those are the most convenient payment method for online purchases in my country, even credit card requires an international one IIRC, furthermore, it is a pain to figure out a proper amount cause it uses Euro. The minimum € 3,00 isn't a huge amount converted to my local currency, but it isn't a small amount either.

So you end up with something that is too much of a hasle even if you had the cash and wanted to donate. Cause you can't stop thinking along the lines of "even if I wanted to deal with all of this the amount I'm giving isn't going to change that much"

1. I'm broke

2. PayPal is horrible and inconvenient

Eu me lembro que tinha propaganda no YouTube, provavelmente feita pelo Kwai, com um vídeo de alguém cortando carne, com áudio que provavelmente era do Bolsonaro, falando provavelmente do Lula

Not really cause the function isn't the same. A red light means stop indefinitely until the light stops being red, a stop sign is more of a stop and then go. I do admit my wording was rather poor, tho.

In my country the Red Light is a predicable function of the road, so turning right on red is fundamentally removing part of the function of the red light. I know crossings in some countries are...weird, but here, if you see the light turning red and are immediately in front of the stopped traffic, you can cross it to the median cause no traffic is going to cross it. A right on red remove this predicability, and even if you absolutely need to have this function, you can just add another traffic light that controls that lane.

I find absolutely baffling that the red signal, the signal made specifically to mean stop, the stop signal, can allow traffic to go through it. If you really need to let cars to go through, just add another traffic light for conversions

Public transit in games is kinda weird.

I loved using trains in GTA IV, but in GTA V it sucked. Although I think it maybe has to do with the real life cities those games are based on.

Sadly, none had working buses

Qualquer aparelho que tenha suporte da LineageOS é uma boa, só olhar essa lista

A family member always downloaded and installed APKs from the internet and didn't know about the Play Store cause that is how you did things on Windows.

The person is question has low tech literacy, and they were doing this for years

As if 'working' in black and white means there's any benefit to being in black and white.

There are bunch of benefits to that, just look at the popularity of monochrome icon packs. Even before the official introduction of Adaptive Icons on Android 12, the status bar was already using monochrome icons to increase visibility. Notification icons were monochrome since a while ago.

When the UI itself works without hue, you are pretty much guaranteed that color blind users aren't left behind, how's that not a benefit?

Whilst complaining about a logo that's already basically white-on-blue. And is plainly a compass even to me

I mentioned they eventually increased the most defining features of the icon after a Redesign, as the cardinal directions letters were removed to make the needle and the... degrees(?) more visible.

How do you encourage that, right after complaining that part of the Safari icon is only as distinct from its background as the entirety of any Material You icon?

I'm frankly unsure how the hell would you get a Material You icon (actually Adaptive Icon) to have the same low contrast as the safari icon. IIRC it is using primary and on-primary color tokens.

again, they look fine.

Agree to disagree.

And doing ANYTHING for the sake of 320x480 in 2023 is just fucking insane! Have we addressed that, directly? The fact we're even talking about how this style looks at original 2007 iPhone resolutions, while discussing enormous high-def pentile OLED pocket supercomputers, makes no god-damn sense. 'It wouldn't work as well as it did on the the displays it originally worked on' is a complete non-sequitur, even if it wasn't self-contradictory,

Why the hell are we still talking about this?!

Actually, the newly released Pixel Tablet has a closer than you think density to the first iPhone. IIRC each dp on the Pixel Tablet is less than 1.75 pixels. It isn't even double than the first iPhone.

It makes translation more of a headache than it needs to be.
