Haha, totally fair. I'll admit I hadn't seen much about cyberdecks and now am a little annoyed by this article. Some questions about the ergonomics on this one for sure, but still worth sharing I suppose.

For sure. Though if you make 350k, you should be able to pay back 200k loans in 2 or 3 years easy.

Consumer spending in general is actually still quite strong, but the growth has slowed a bit.

AI summary:
- Brave Browser has marketed itself as a privacy-preserving web browser and has gained attention from cryptocurrency enthusiasts.
- The company behind Brave, founded by Brendan Eich, faced backlash due to Eich's previous donation in support of California's Proposition 8, which aimed to ban same-sex marriage.
- Brave initially planned to replace ads with its own ad units and split revenue with publishers, but this idea was met with legal issues and criticism from both inside and outside the company.
- Brave introduced Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) as a way to reward users for viewing ads and content, but the rewards are minimal and the value of BAT is volatile.
- Brave has incorporated various cryptocurrency-related features, including a full crypto wallet, but many of its crypto partners have faced controversies and scandals.
- Brave was involved in a privacy scandal in which affiliate codes were added to URLs typed into the address bar, allowing the company to collect revenue from user signups or purchases.
- The article concludes that Brave is a flawed software project and should not be used, recommending Firefox or Vivaldi as privacy-focused alternatives.

Agreed. Travel if you can when you're young, or just make sure to not have kids or put it off a while so you can get to a more money-making part of your career and can afford it more without being tied down by children.

Something in IT is great, I think, and will be applicable to such a variety of fields and allow you to pivot in your career. Once you're progressing in your career, well, I've seen or heard of people making surprising shifts. So much learning for various jobs is really institutional anyways and will happen on the job. Just make sure you learn to well, learn. Always be playing with and learning new tools and processes and be adaptable. For instance, you could start out a developer and find out you like managing projects on your team and finding ways to make things more efficient and wind up a project manager who also understands what your team is talking about and working on.

Curious -- not saying it's great, but I don't think the Zoom UX is much better, personally. What bothers you about Teams, if I might ask?

Pretty much exactly the same here. There's no denying the existing collection of knowledge on Reddit, but it is no longer a browse randomly app for me.

Absoltuely. Definitely depends on what you're listening to. Gotta be able to adjust per podcast.

That's a decent solution, but unfortunately doesn't have handy podcast app features like silence trimming, voice boosting, etc. Great suggestion though!

I'll admit I do. And I won't like, I'll still append "Reddit" to my searches as needed. I'm just not really actively contributing or anything there anymore, which is sad

Interesting. For some reason kbin sounds better than lemmy to me, but don't super love either.

Pretty cool, especially considering how it's been shown that WiFi can be used to pretty accurately determine the position and number of people in a room with AI.

Indeed, hence I think kbin is the best sorta in-between. It's designed to deal with both threads and microblogs.

That works. F-Droid is an alternative to the Play store. You can also download the .apk directly instead if you prefer. Just scroll down to the versions and find the most recent.

Not sure about them, but I use browser on desktop and the progressive web app on mobile generally. Sometimes browser on mobile

Supposedly he's gonna add kbin support also. I hope he changes the name to be more broad, like Sync for Fediverse. Or Synciverse or something.

I'll have to wait for kbin support to try that one it seems. Looks decent though

Well that's an entire hassle and seems far from ideal, lol. I have a mastodon account I never use, but for now I'm just gonna stick to kbin and follow whatever lemmy folks or whatever I want from here.
You can’t make this $hit up. 🚀💰 Get invested in the insane true story that shocked the world. Watch the [#DumbMoneyMovie](https://kbin.social/tag/DumbMoneyMovie) trailer now! Coming exclusively to movie theaters September 22. Dumb Money is the ultimate David vs. Goliath tale, based on the insane true story of everyday people who flipped the script on Wall Street and got rich by turning GameStop (yes, the mall videogame store) into the world’s hottest company. In the middle of everything is regular guy Keith Gill (Paul Dano), who starts it all by sinking his life savings into the stock and posting about it. When his social posts start blowing up, so does his life and the lives of everyone following him. As a stock tip becomes a movement, everyone gets rich – until the billionaires fight back, and both sides find their worlds turned upside down. Dumb Money also stars Pete Davidson, Vincent D’Onofrio, America Ferrera, Nick Offerman, Anthony Ramos, Sebastian Stan, Shailene Woodley and Seth Rogen. Directed by Craig Gillespie, written by Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo, based on the book “The Antisocial Network” by Ben Mezrich.

I can't get it to work for me. I did the add to home screen but it just opens up in a chrome tab for me.
Edit: Turns out I had to disable AdGuard temporarily and then kbin's install app banner popped up and that worked. Only issue is it doesn't respect my device's do-not-rotate setting, but I know somebody has added that as an issue so hopefully will be fixed pulled in to the codebase soon.

A temporary work around is using the upvote (aka favorite) and the post will be shown in your favorites, whereas the "boost" acts more like an upvote on kbin

I think this could all be solved easily with some quick onboarding explaining terms when a user signs up.
cutitdown 1 year ago • 100%
I could easily see it being added in options that people can see these terms as whatever they prefer. Could even be done with browser extensions/user scripts relatively simply.
Is there a good way to view articles and microblogs in a singular feed? I don't see a great reason for them to be separate [\#RedditMigration](https://kbin.social/tag/RedditMigration)
