It was never popular outside Brazil and India, but Orkut, Google’s first social network, was based around groups and it was fantastic. I miss their structure tremendously.

I usually hate those too…
But they are not universally bad. OLED screens have almost instantaneous response times, which if paired with lateral movement and content shot at 24 FPS can become a stuttery mess instead of a smooth camera pan. In some movies, it’s enough to give me a headache.
In those scenarios, one of the interpolation settings available on my LG C1 instantly fixes the issue and does not add significant artifacts. The goal isn’t simulating 120 FPS on a TV show, but working around content filmed at abysmally low FPS (which was relevant when film was expensive and we used blurry TVs, not good for 2025).


I really want one. But I’m not buying any tech product until my existing one turns to dust and no amount of solder can put it back together. So maybe in five or six years?


Many KDE apps run on Windows. Okular is the best PDF viewer for the entire platform.

I mean this in a genuine way, why in your mind those are the two options available? Total anarchy without functioning transit or cameras pointing at drivers?
There are several different ways to control traffic. If privacy is an importanr factor for a culture, they’d rank privacy respecting alternatives higher.

maybe it will prop up PeerTube for once…
It won’t. Look at Mastodon vs Bluesky and Threads. Mastodon already existed, already worked well, had more features and was federated. People still chose Bluesky, which is just Twitter 2.0 owned by the same corporate douchebags.
People CRAVE the system.
We gotta respect the struggle: my man is out here doing a sociological analysis of the history of women’s fashion even though his brain is capable than no more than a Petri dish worth of depth. Was it a good analysis? No, but he tried and he had courage, never let your limitations shape your destiny.
Which is why you should never think for profit companies are your friend, ethical, worth simping for or let them become part of your identity.
The only Organic Maps controversy I’m aware of was the presence of certain closed-source elements on what they claim to be a FOSS app, and that the main developer refused to open up, then partially did, then backtracked and never fully released.
Maybe that’s what that user is referring to? Not sure.
Sure. But there’s also a reason we don’t do in silico molecular dynamics, test toxicology on zebrafish, and boom done drug is on the market. Even extremely close organisms, with LCAs much earlier than the zebrafish, can have wildly different reactions to potential drugs and dietary elements.
There are things you can feed a chimp but not a human.
