Are you saying you think it's ridiculous to end support "already"?

I think it's likely that anyone still using 486s isn't updating software anyway, so it's unlikely to matter aside from niches like retro devices. Luckily, open source means that if there's a genuine desire there'll probably be a fork to provide it.

There's no algorithm here*, so use the different sorting options (for both posts and comments), as well as setting your favourite as default once you see what works for you.

* the different sort options are of course algorithms, but I mean there's no automatic, manipulative system like YouTube's "The Algorithm", Facebook, TikTok, etc.

Voting doesn't tune your algorithm, so I'd say only use downvoting for things that are low quality, trolling, in the wrong sub, duplicate posts, etc. Your votes aren't private, by the way - although Lemmy itself doesn't display voters' names, that info is in every server's database, and some other software in the Fediverse does show them.

There are quite a few apps available, I like Voyager on Android and I stick to the default website on my computer.

Case insensitive is more intuitive

Are these the same filename?

  • ΑΓΑΘΉ.txt
  • αγαθή.txt

What about these?

  • MY-NOTES-ON-Δ.txt
  • μυ-notes-on-δ.txt

Databases have different case-insensitive collations - these control what letters are equivalent to each other. The fact that there's multiple options should tell you that there's no one-size-fits-all solution to case insensitivity.

This issue is only simple and obvious if you don't know enough about it.

Including English: æppel meant any kind of fruit, which is why you have names like pineapple and elephant apple.

People say they want that, but do those independent cinemas get enough people through the doors to stay open?

A bunch of people got away with the Panama Papers stuff because of chain of custody shenanigans.

A great post, interesting and to the point.

I like this idea of thinking about purchases in terms of per-use cost - this means you should spend more on mattresses and bed linen, underwear, office chairs and computer peripherals, etc.

I'm also a fan of working out how much a price-tag is in terms of how long you need to work to get the equivalent cash. Would I be willing to work for an extra two hours to get this thing?

That reminds me of Netflix's Chaos Monkey (basically in office hours this tool will randomly kill stuff).

The article mentions that "Chrome [has a] more restrictive Manifest 3 plugin API", but doesn't go into any examples, when this one is the main one (and why Google brought in manifest v3 at all).

It really is genuinely remarkable. If more people lived their lives like OP then the world would be a better place.
