One could make the same argument about creating a more complicated solution when a simple one solves it for 99% of users. Especially when the remaining 1% will know the difference based on what they’re doing, regardless of the icon used.
There’s a good reason that these two icons are currently different.
Not really, it’s just legacy, the same reason the save icon is still a floppy disk in most programs. That’s what it’s always been.
You may make the distinction between saving a document and downloading a document, but most people don’t pay anywhere near that amount of attention, and don’t care about specifics.
Can’t skip a generation, gotta go from the floppy disk icon to the HDD icon for a while first.
Why does it need to be separate? The end result is the same, the file on your device. Where it is coming from makes no difference.
99% of users won’t care at all.
It’s infinitely more accurate than a floppy disk icon.
For 99% of users, the specifics make no difference at all.
It’s closer to reality than a floppy disk icon, that’s for sure.
I’ve always had mixed luck with Bluetooth file sharing on Windows. Sometimes it works perfectly, other times it just doesn’t seem to work at all. Even with the same exact devices.
Microsoft has Phone Link for both iOS and Android
Google has Quick Share for Android.
It’s a start but doesn’t fully address the problem.
Eh, I’d say it addresses everything that matters.
The root of the problem was that deleting the account was an exploit to avoid limit admin research and further actions, and federation of content removal. That’s the only reason they were bothering to do it. The fix allows admins to research properly, and for federation of removal actions.
It doesn’t solve the root of the issue with bad actors, but that’s a much larger issue well beyond the scope of a couple bug fixes.
Same, my commute is about a half hour, with 2 main routes I could take that are about the same time. Just knowing if one of those is screwed up can be the difference between an okay drive in and hell.
That would require thought being put into it. That’s a lot to ask for, clearly.
Most likely explanation… Modern monitors effectively have their own little PCs inside… that go to sleep when the monitor does to save power. Older monitors didn’t give a crap about power usage at all.
Oh people have definitely used corn for that. It is a phallic shape.
To be fair, corn is native to the Americas. And it can be made into virtually anything: food, fuel, cleaning products, even plastic (PLA).
Giving winring0 vibes.
Every building receives 240V and splits it into a pair of 120V phases. Three phase power is basically only installed at large industrial sites or very specialized shops.
Welp, bye bye to the shield against the Sun’s deadly laser. Although I guess that also means bye bye to the laser too? Hmm.
I mean… God literally commits genocide multiple times, and that’s just from the stories that they chose to actually include. Satan/Lucifer mostly tempts people to do things they want to do anyway.
Seems pretty cut and dry honestly.
Lucifer’s crime was daring to question his father.
After being cast out he was put in charge of overseeing those that were deemed by that same father to be bad after death.
Seems to be a common link there, and it’s not Lucifer.
It is. And so do I. The terminal isn’t hard, it’s just for the average user, it feels intimidating and/or extremely old and thus inherently bad. They rely on the GUI as the user experience. And to be honest, they’re right. A modern system should not require terminal interaction for every day use cases, or even infrequent use cases. It’s just not a user-friendly interface for a consumer.
And that doesn’t even get into the youngest generations that have grown up with touchscreens, where many can barely use a mouse. Even those most would probably consider to be more tech-literate, like gamers. PirateSoftware (I know, I know, but it is a real world interaction versus theoretical) brought a demo to one of the conventions, with 2 stations for a game, 1 KB&M and 1 controller. For the few kids that tried to use the KB&M stations, they moved the keyboard out of the way and tried to touch the screen to interact, because they didn’t know how to interact with it like that, they knew how to use a controller and a touchscreen. That was how they played games. Their tablets, and controllers probably on consoles. Youtube Shorts video explaining. That’s the average user. No one anywhere near a place like lemmy is an average user.
Meh, just a hard floppy. Although I really did appreciate my Zip 100 drive for that storage space before writable CDs came along.
