The next generation of design is already taking shape. It’s a simplistic skewmorphic design, where it looks like the logo has been made out of clay. Look at the new Reddit and Android logo.

I never knew the word was used as a slur or had sexual connotations. I thought it was a verb akin to “nerf” or “cripple”, as in “Windows 11 gimped the taskbar functionality.” I guess this word is still bad, as I want to enhance, not “gimp,” my pictures.
I’m curious, what would happen if I, as a creator, had been contacted by a sponsor and then if the sponsor was shady, decided to not only say no to the contract, but also rag on them in the video where the sponsor would have been shilled?
At least consider it. It will make shady sponsors less valuable and more genuine sponsors more valuable.
They absolutely deserve to be blasted in the comments for a bad sponsor. It will make people reconsider their viewing decisions. If the video itself also wasn’t great, don’t be afraid to give it a big fat dislike, especially if you have the return YouTube dislike extension.
Additionally, if there are too many ads and sponsors, make your voice heard in the comments, and the creator might be sympathetic. I certainly am when I’m on the receiving end of a comment like that on my channel.
Surprised no one has mentioned System76 yet. They’re expensive but quality laptops, with repairability as a priority.
I recently took a class on ARM assembly, and yet I don’t even know half of these x86 instructions.
Hard disagree. I dual boot both Windows 11 and Ubuntu on my main laptop and Ubuntu is usually way faster feeling, except sometimes on shutdown due to some snap or cups bug. Almost everything opens in a second or less, and I get better battery life on Ubuntu as well. My bigger problem is that it struggles with WiFi under crowded conditions.
True, I’m probably saying extreme stuff about this, but this stems from my distrust in Google. I don’t really feel like I’m in control when it’s hosted by Google. My entire YT metrics are based on how many videos of mine Google recommends to others.
It’s hosted on GitHub, but I really want to self host one day.
What other features are missing? I’m still pretty much a beginner so it can be very tricky to implement things.
True, but Google could do a ToS change to alter this fact.
My games: superspruce.org, https://superspruce.github.io/Elemental-Incremental/, https://superspruce.github.io/TheUnscaledIncremental/.
Arguably my YouTube channel, but I am of the belief I don’t truly own it because Google is behind YouTube, and they call all the shots on the platform.
I’ve had game and software ideas swirling around in my brain, but for the longest time I couldn’t program them. But now, I have enough knowledge to build parts of my grand deckbuilding game idea: An arcade style deckbuilding game with strong meta-progression. It’s playable at superspruce.org.
As for some other ideas, including the simple idea of a weighted shuffle music playlist where each song has its own weight, they are still currently out of reach, mostly due to trying to access the filesystem and whatnot. Better than a month ago, where within the last month I found out how to make the browser play music
Don’t forget the $800 30mph electric skateboards!
Bluetooth reliability by OS
Android > Ubuntu > iOS (because of the stupid automatic turn back on anti-feature) > Windows > Linux Lite (possibly due to 2009 hardware?)
Also e-scooters are just plain fun. 20mph on an e-scooter feels like 40mph on a motorcycle that feels like 80mph in a car.
You underestimate the amount of crap (which is mostly porn, whether you like it or not) on the Internet. And resolutions will increase as cameras get better.
But in some metrics, we have already gotten there. You can download the entirety of Wikipedia and it fits in a few gigs. You could download everything (including the 800+ videos which would span multiple weeks long end to end) I made and have it be less than 1TB.
The steady improvement in computer speed and efficiency (unfortunately brought down by bloated software, but in some areas you feel it in absolute terms), storage and memory size, and EV technology. I hope in 2040 there will be cheap powerful e-scooters and e-motorcycles.
I think I recently saw ~840 somewhere.
To replace the current big tech business, I have a few suggestions:
Your provisional rider laws are a lot more fair than Europe’s, which limit teenagers to 125cc for the first two year of riding.
150KW/tonne (with the rider) is enough to get a Ninja 400 or Harley Sportster 1200, both of which are plenty powerful for the street. But maybe these calculations don’t factor in a typical rider’s weight.
Headphones with an internal MicroSD slot or at least lots of internal storage to locally play back music.
