But then how do you make money with a browser if you aren't getting Google money and don't spy on users?

I agree. But also add in the movie industry that's been complete trash for a while now. Not to mention books. I'm not sure if we'll ever see another Harry Potter level book again, at least in our lifetimes.

My take is we've already left the golden ages of movies, music, and books and probably won't get another for an extremely long time.

Video games are going through the same downfall which streaming services brought. Physical media left the movie scene as a standard while ago, but video games took longer. Now it's going to be all streaming and subscriptions where you can never own anything.

Once that happens, enshittification will peak, companies won't be incentivized to make the games good anymore, standards tank, and people will forget how good things once were.

Obama won before and he was part black. Why would that be a problem now?

Sounds like you want PipeWire - not related to a specific distro.

Proton Wallet Review: Is Proton Losing Touch? - Privacy Guides in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Yep, I got a post deleted by a mod here who also is a mod on Reddit. I was criticizing Proton, but they removed it for "trolling". I messaged them explaining it was not trolling and asked politely for an explanation, but got no response.

Pretty sad and ironic that Proton needs to censor criticism like this.

I just want that popup tooltip thing to stop blocking the most important part of the UI when I delete a message in Proton Mail... That's something obvious and should take 15 minutes to half an hour of a decent dev's time.

I'm really appalled by how bad Proton's project management is.

Prioritize buying things with no Internet connection.

If your Proton password is your encryption key, why couldn't Proton theoretically use it to decrypt your data? (lemmy.world)
 

AFAIK when you log in to Proton, you send them your password, they do the standard hashing and checking against the hash stored in their database, and if it matches them they let you log in by sending you a token of some sort.

If the your password is your encryption key, and if at some point Proton needs your plaintext password in order for you to log in, then doesn't that mean they still have a way to access your data? They could take the plaintext password and decrypt everything in your account without you knowing, right?

Do bike tires increase pressure in summer? (lemmy.world)
submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I know bike tires will lose pressure in colder seasons because the air temp causes the pressure to drop, but is the inverse true? Does bike tire pressure go up in summer due to heat?

If so, do I need to deflate the tires a bit in summer? Do bike tires ever explode because of a temperature change?

I'm disappointed with Third Wave Water (lemmy.world)
 

Not with their end product - the powder itself is excellent. But every little packet is plastic, and doesn't have to be. The world has such a serious problem with plastics, and for a lot of products it's kind of necessary, but this is not one of them.

Restaurants have had the same size single serving packets for sugar, salt, and pepper for decades now and those are paper, which is much more environmentally friendly. It's even better for usability! With paper, I don't need to go find my scissors like I do for TWW's plastic packets.

I asked TWW if they would consider using paper instead, but got a generic reply that they'll bring it up, but evidently nothing has been done about this.

Is anyone else as disappointed as I am with their use of plastic packets? I care a lot about having clean water for my coffee, and I care just as much about not polluting the rest of the world because of it.

In Chinese, Sodium is "鈉" (Nà). Is this because it's also the elemental symbol? (lemmy.world)
 

Or is this just a coincidence? Any other elements with the symbol as the full word?
