That part, I already understand.
But you needed to have some sort of excuse for such things back when smartphones were new.

I think the compartmentalisation concepts were there from the feature-phone era.

Don’t they also have some NFC payment stuff there too?
Though that’s probably connected to the debit/credit card and not really a separate interface.

If you have a smartphone, you get to use UPI (United Payments Interface).
If you don’t, you are basically limited to a certain amount of free withdrawal per month, which is set to prevent getting an outcry from BPL (below poverty line) people, which would otherwise be bad for elections.

I was considering pushing for open source UPI apps for Linux devices (and providing my services for development), to reduce India’s reliance on Google and Android but considering recent events, I believe that is not really going to align with the Government’s plans.

This doesn’t make sense to me.
Why do they even need it to be that way?

Compartmentalisations was one of the basic points in system design methodology that I thought (because I read it somewhere) smartphones would also be built upon. So why compromise the whole thing to a supply chain attack?

They seem to have plans for those types too.
Withdrawing cash is going to be taxed.

Nah, they’re mostly just going to endlessly harass you for it and wait for you to bribe them.
They will randomly send dacoits in uniform to beat you up and jail you and make it harder for you to earn a living until they get their birthright bribes.

Modern fonts have extra stuff to make rendering better.
Like hinting, which changes subpixel representations.

Without those, you wouldn’t like the look of something like a character with a height of 10px on a 1080p display and would have to use way higher DPI stuff, with characters taking more pixels.
Won’t be unusable though. Automatically done anti-aliasing tends to be good enough too.

I initially started de-upvoting just because it felt weird to have a blue marker on my own comment, which was supposed to be for other’s comments that I upvoted. It then evolved into having a “reason” behind it. But yeah, it just seems weird to upvote one’s own comment.

Well, first you need to define a “person”.
Then you need to define the starting point and what all environmental features you are considering as zero cost.

Otherwise, to calculate energy to kill a person, you need to start by creating the universe.

On the other hand, for a human person, you can either just get a really big syringe and siphon out blood from the heart, or pierce a thin little metal pipe with tactically placed holes, which will let gravity and internal blood pressure do the job. But these require access to a syringe/metal pipe making setup, which has its own energy costs.

and go elsewhere

elsewhere, you would have this guy’s friends.
Your choice.

Nah, just hard to explain in text.

Well, it’s hard to share.

On Lemmy, you get to make your own algorithm to choose which post comes first.
So you can even go with a most-downvotes-first approach.

It will matter depending upon what people choose.
The usual ones on clients^[1] are Hot, Top, Controversial, New and Old and the Controversial one has to do with both, upvotes and downvotes.

Considering that there is no immediate karma count display, there is a pretty good chance that people reading the spacegrassfields are going to react on the bs first and consider checking out their history later.

Perhaps if we started using SVG or PNG instead of compressed JPG for graphs, it would have helped a bit.

Perhaps some down’n’dasher that didn’t like your lack of respect for them.

Maybe someone who has been de-federated from my instance, considering I don’t see a downvote.

Although the encryption is a useful feature, I don’t really expect that from mail.
And if were doing internal communications with a company with that level of security and privacy requirement, I would be using their on-premises mail server.

I have been considering Proton, mostly. My main goal being, not randomly losing access to my mail account due to some AI bs.
Though I am not sure if they might end up requiring stuff like “Video ID”.

And if it comes to paying for a service, I will also start comparing it to the cost of a domain name and a static IPv6 address, because I already have plans to run a server.

Also, YouTube.
I would be much more inclined to click if it were Odysee or PeerTube.
You need to give me a much more compelling reason than “I’m using DP instead of HDMI” to click on a YouTube link.

Tuta

So, can’t use that with Thunderbird, I suppose?
Well, at least the open source client would be useful.
