Thanks! What is it about usability that has got worse after the update?

What are some UI aspects that got worse to use after the update?

Can anyone share experience about power usage, performance, and functionality on older devices?

The architectures are named after scientists. This one is for the mathematician David Blackwell.

Now, Google is bringing in Manifest V3, a new version of Chromium.

If this is the level of their understanding, it's hard to trust anything this outlet publishes.

After the latest update, instance names have disappeared from the subscription section on the navigation drawer. There doesn't seem to a be setting to bring those back. Without them, it's hard to distinguish between communities with similar names on different instances.

I often find image posts where clicking on the thumbnail doesn't load the picture and shows a generic error message. If I copy the image link, I can open it ok in the browser. I haven't been able to tie this to specific instances or communities, so I don't know what might be causing it.

Has anyone else seen this issue?

If you need earbuds, http://www.scarbir.com/ does similar.

This guy is gold! I've bought a few pairs of cheap headphones after reading his comparisons and reviews, and all have been spot on! He tests on both iPhone and Android, and he explains the differences in sound quality if very approachable and concise ways. When I need headphones again, his site is my no 1 stop.

What even is the point of this change?! What could it possibly improve?

In another thread, I read a user's comment about how the lemmy experience has got progressively worse over the past few months, with a lot more trash content making it to their front page.

Is this your experience? How was lemmy when you joined and how do you think it's changed?

Yes, I've read many posts the current state of reddit. But today, somehow I thought it can't be that bad if I just go looking for some funny videos.

Boy, was I wrong. This post was at the top of my feed, and briefly scrolling through the comments got me out of there without looking at anything else ☠️

Oh, well, I tried...

no seek bar

I really don't understand who thought that removing the seek bar from a video player was a good idea...

I doubt it's not carefully worded in corporate speak. It's much more likely just The Guardian's sensationalism. Amazon have an army of HR people; they wouldn't make such basic mistakes.

They only do it because it works. Had they been given the level of attention—and interaction—that trolls deserve, they would quickly move on to doing other things with their life. But as long as one single well-placed comment can result in so many people getting annoyed from so many different perspectives, it's easy to see the appeal that these trolls see...

And on top of this, the removals were done following the request from a troll account, by a user involved in far more questionable discussions than the legal discussions currently going on in the now-removed communities. Should no attempt be made to differentiate between a legit legal concern and trolling?

The communities I'm talking about were dedicated to video. If you didn't like such videos, you'd never subscribe to them. I'm not talking about videos posted to otherwise text-based communities.

On the old site, there were a number of funny video communities with regular posts, for example /r/Unexpected, /r/PublicFreakout, or /r/WhatCouldGoWrong. While there are plenty of memes on Lemmy, we have relatively little video content. Those of you who used to frequent video subs, what have you replaced them with since coming to Lemmy?
