(FYI I didn’t make this and I believe it’s fake but honestly it’s hard to tell)
The goal of 3rd party apps is to do what’s best for the user so they continue to use their app
The goal of Reddit’s official app is to do what’s best for Reddit
It’s possible to expand on the functionality but that’s the fundamental misalignment on priorities regarding users

14·2 years agoI’m not sure if my comment is whoosh, but just in case; it’s the transliteration of the letters in the picture if you read them as cyrillic letters, highlighting that they should be understood as faux-cyrillic instead

Linux@lemmy.ml•Is it possible to replace the wifi card on a Macbook pro 11,2 (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)? If so, are there any compatible wifi cards with open source drivers for Linux?
1·2 years agoWe had to replace the entire screen assembly for that at the time but I’m sure it’s possible to do something less drastic if you are just working on your own machine

Linux@lemmy.ml•Is it possible to replace the wifi card on a Macbook pro 11,2 (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)? If so, are there any compatible wifi cards with open source drivers for Linux?
6·2 years agoI worked on repairing Macs during that period and I suspect that no wifi card except this specific one would fit in the relevant slot of the machine.
They weren’t standard formats as far as I know and couldn’t be used across models because the shape of the actual card was never the same. It’s possible the connectors didn’t change though, or that a third party manufacturer made new cards specifically for that model, although that seems unlikely.
Another commenter (u/bloodfart) wrote that the connector was a standard mini pcie connector; I can’t confirm but that’s plausible and would mean it’s a lot more likely that an upgrade may be possible
One note of caution, it was really easy for an uninitiated repair person to sever the antenna wire from its connector when trying to disconnect or reconnect them, the cables are quite thin

20·2 years agoI don’t really have great knowledge on this topic but my understanding is that it wasn’t just because it was purple, it was that the resulting purple dye was excellent; it was bright, beautiful and never faded. You can dye stuff purple with cabbage but it’s just not a very good dye in those regards

Technology@lemmy.world•Reddit: Return Of The Junk Stock IPOEnglish
0·2 years agoThe comparison is even more apt when you remember that the official Reddit app also used to be the most popular and great 3rd-party app called AlienBlue, which was purchased from 1 guy and rebranded a decade ago.
It’s pretty clear that the reason why the official Reddit app isn’t good is because a good experience for their users isn’t their goal.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's some easy recipes that only use non-perishables?
11·2 years agoChickpea curry is made entirely with pantry items and is very delicious. You can throw in non-pantry items if you have them but they are not necessary

Spam musubi is a popular snack in Hawaii that’s also entirely pantry food. I love spam but not everyone does; if you want pantry meals though chances are you would be okay with it.
https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/49785/spam-musubi/
Obviously canned soups are a good pantry meal source, no special recipe there
Flaked ham or tuna cans with Mayo & relish (or chopped celery if you have them) are delicious to eat on any type of crackers

That’s what I can think of for now haha

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the best question to ask someone who you don't know very well?
8·2 years agoI find that this backfires sometimes because many people don’t seem to have any hobbies.
In the context of an interviewer, I sometimes ask “can you teach me something cool about one of your interests in 5 min?” It’s not the same context obviously but you learn a lot about a person quickly that way. Bonus point is, I learn cool stuff about new things I’m probably not familiar with haha

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is a product that you won’t accept a generic alternative for?
14·2 years agoIt’s pretty weird to be basically shilling for brands in here but Nexcare bandages are superior to band-aids in pretty much every way; i agree that band-aids beat generic though


Reminded me of this lol
