Fair enough, though I would argue that’s a very specific subtype of radar and anyone saying “radar” refers to the type that is used in 99.999% of the cases.
That’s just what the acronym means, it doesn’t describes the actual process. I don’t think there is a single RADAR that doesn’t have a transmitter. At that point it would just be a… radio.
Alas, RADAR relies on transmitting and then reading the reflected waves.
Yeah there was some boring fucking trend going around where people posted 10 year old memes. I had to block four or five communities to have a usable lemmy experience.
In some ways this whole thing feels like WoW classic. A lot of people trying to relive the internet of their youth, while not realizing things weren't actually that great back then either. I can haz cheesburger? What the fuck were we thinking.
I don’t get why people complain about them removing shitty monetization. People have done nothing but complain about reddit gold and awards.
If I go to https://kbin.social/m/blender, I can see a number of posts and a large number of subscribers. When I look at the same (?) community through lemmy.fmhy I get just an empty community (https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/blender@kbin.social). Not sure if this is expected or if I'm misunderstanding something about how this whole thing is suppose to work, but it seems wrong 😅
If you don't think aesthetics is a valid argument I don't know what to tell you. Just because you don't care about it doesn't mean other people don't, or that it's an invalid opinion.
No more true wireless headphones I guess. There ain't no way those can be built with user-replaceable batteries.
You think it’s reasonable to refuse to pay employees what they are owed?
One vote might not matter much, but 4.6 million votes can swing elections. It’s really fucking weird how that country calls itself a democracy when it does this, allows rampant gerrymandering, have a very uneven vote weight depending on where you live, and, just as icing on the cake, allows slavery in some specific instances.
It’s one of the benefits of being a tiny fraction of a sliver of the size of reddit. It’s also something that would change if people actually migrate to lemmy.
I still use reddit as well as lemmy. There are lots of communities that haven’t migrated, and probably never will.
I'm very confused. Trying to figure this whole new decentralized social network thing and I feel like an absolute boomer. I would need a nice iOS app for me to really get into it I guess, something like Apollo.
