FYI, you can go directly to messenger.com and avoid seeing the rest of the site entirely. You can also deactivate your Facebook account and leave Messenger (mostly) functional.

"my law..." "my study..."

yeah, i think the author wants a law named after them. the first half of the article is also... junk?

People on reddit are absolutely losing their minds over the lack of steam workshop support, but if Paradox wants stuff to be available to console users and all PC users, it's really the only option.

My concern is how it'll interact with Steam Proton on Linux, and just generally if their mods platform will be any good.

that's a lot more money for a smaller screen, though. 32" is a big monitor sitting in front of a desk, but a small TV if you're on a couch.

A good article, a lot of those advantages I wasn't aware of! I think DisplayPort unfairly got a bad rap as "oh, I have to buy another cable now" when it was new, but it's obviously the better choice now. Although I still hate DisplayPort's latching, makes it so hard to unplug cables in tight spaces. I'd rather old-style screws than the latch on all the DP cables I've used.

Is there any market research at all indicating that customers want 6"+ displays?

Unfortunately, yes. People who buy smaller phones are the people who buy a new phone less often, and small phones tend to sell worse than the big models (see S10e, iPhone 12(?) Mini) so don't get renewed. Would be nice if they did.

These laws exist in Australia already, Facebook and Google claimed they'd pull out of the country and of course they just came to an agreement with almost all news companies and life moved on.

My worry would be who is funding it and how they plan to keep operating. Venture Capital startups will always betray their users.

Beeper is Matrix in a trenchcoat, judging by their Github page.

In the back of it, it seems to be a series of Matrix bridges https://github.com/beeper

I've heard good things about Kagi, but I can't justify the cost (especially as its USD)

I've been trying to, through my browser and extensions, set a custom font for all websites. Specifically Atkinson Hyperlegible (google fonts link), developed by the Braille Institute, since I find it much easier to read when parsing large blocks of text. I've heard from some dyslexic folks it helps them as well (more so than Open Dyslexic or Dyslexie).

Unfortunately, it seems to fall down on Beehaw! I think it gets overridden by the theme settings, and neither Firefox nor any of the font-changing extensions seem to be able to get past it.

Would it be impossible to add a version of the darkly and litely themes with Atkinson Hyperlegible as the typeface? Heck, it's good looking and as readable as it gets, it couldn't hurt being a default option!

Large tech companies only join protocols like this with the aim of killing them; any Mastodon instance worth its salt should defederate from Meta as soon as they go live with it.
