Is day today having a privacy policy implies that the app is in fact being used for data collection. However, it appears to point to the general Google privacy policy...

But also, MFW somebody turns a perfectly usable desktop application into an internal website that ends up only working on one browser...

I love how all the reactions to this are either "I love this" and "this is cursed beyond belief"

I personally would get a kick out of this as a skin for occasional use...

Its all Linux !! in c/memes@lemmy.ml

I am constantly amused about how "next year" has been "the year of Linux on the desktop" for 20+ years. Meanwhile, Linux & BSD have pretty much completely taken over the whole world except the desktop in that same time.

The problem with GIMP in c/technology@beehaw.org

[–] unfnknblvbl@beehaw.org 2 points 3 months ago

My very large organisation has Gimp available for basic image manipulation. I've tried to get them to use Paint.NET instead, but nooooo... Apparently we like hitting nails with jackhammers around here

Sounds like I'd be happy either way, sooo

Windows 7 with Aero Glass, in my opinion, was the last version of windows that actually felt warm and comfortable to use. 8, 10 and 11 all feel so cold, sterile and boring. in c/nostalgia@lemmy.ca

Man, Windows 7 was great. All the excellent parts of Vista (and contrary to popular belief, the were many excellent things about that OS), and none of the nasty. Although that can be somewhat attributed to computing power having caught up by the time 7 was released.

I remember switching from Vista to 7 fulltime as soon as the beta came out. Even then, it was faster and more stable than Vista on the same hardware.

Coincidentally, Windows 7 was around for a whole lot of good times in my life..

Mariokart 8 Sucks. in c/gaming@lemmy.ml

Are you talking about MK8 on the WiiU, or MK8 Deluxe on the Switch?

For what it's worth, I've only played the WiiU one, and I really enjoy it. It's go as far as to say it's the only Mario Kart I've really enjoyed. I don't have a Switch, so I can't talk to that version.

Do you still get the "it's Friday!" feeling? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I don't think I've ever had this feeling, to be honest.

What are your thoughts on E-motorbikes using bike lanes? in c/bicycles@lemmy.ca

As a slight tangent, I recently got an electric moped. It has a maximum speed of 48kph, and the speed limit on my route to work and back every day is 50kph.

I bet that if we made a Venn diagram of all the people that say "I'd respect cyclists of they were forced to be registered with number plates and insurance" and the people that insist on overtaking me in single-lane suburban streets because I'm going 2kph below the limit, it would just be a perfect circle.
