Well, in my experience, calling it Twitter or any variation helps people stay in negation about the fact that Twitter is dead, and calling it x makes people more likely to open their eyes and delete their account, and losing users is what really hurts musk. I already helped all the people from my close friends circle to move out from that shit.
I have always been the one who goes against the trends, and it looks like I still am. Strategy is one of the very few genres that I like, and if the game has no strategic element to it, I usually don’t enjoy it.
But… I don’t like overwhelming UIs and elements. I like simplicity, few elements and not many options, but a deep strategy.
I have given it a try a few times, to see if it makes sense to search on tiktok. I tried things like “[generic topic I’d like to know more about]”, “history of [topic]”, “[topic] lecture/course”, “how to replace screen of [phone model]”, “how to fix [device model]”, “how to make [recipe]”, [product] review, [software] tutorial, and a few others, both in english and in my mother language, and in all cases, the results were poor, barely related to my search or nonexistent.
It makes me wonder if: 1- people don’t actually search on tiktok as much as people make it look like 2 - there’s some different way to write the search terms that I’m unaware of, or perhaps, the results would be different if I was logged in 3 - people are simply getting poor results and that’s it 4 - my search interests differ too much from what people search on tiktok
Almost all of our GUI software was designed with high refresh rate screens in mind, so it can be clunky to use e-ink ones. If we had GUis based on section changing, instead of scrolling, it wouldn’t be a problem. On pcs, using the page up and down keys can be a workaround, but on phones, it’s complicated.
Damn, I LOVE e-ink screens, I’d love to have almost all my devices using it, I love to read freely without getting eye strain from it. I’d even give away being able to watch videos in my phone for an e-ink screen.
But it seems like I will never be able to use it anywhere besides my cheap second hand ereader… the prices are always astronomically high :( even chinese e-ink tablets are too expensive for me.
Well, if someone questioned the environmental consequences of combustion engines a hundred years ago, they would be laughed of, but decades later we came to the conclusion that they’re terrible to tbe environment. Jumping on new things without pondering the consequences, like we mostly do as a society, isn’t very different from fearing everything new. I think it’s a good thing to have some caution and discuss the possible consequences of generative ai. I would prefer more data and less sentiment, though.
This is very interesting, I will check it. Are there any drawbacks?
Edit: Just tried it. No miracles, but got a noticeable gain is usability on my phone. I recommend it to everyone using low-end devices out there. The instructions I found used this command: adb shell cmd package compile -m speed -f -a
I bet you will need a crypto-backed ai startup for that project!
