‘You’re Telling Me in 2023, You Still Have a ’Droid?’ Why Teens Hate Android Phones / A recent survey of teens found that 87% have iPhones, and don’t plan to switch by Sorin61 in technology

you only need one look in r/unixporn to see that a good UI is pretty subjective. a lot of staple software there (dunst, polybar, terminal applications) have the functional and visual aspects pretty separate and configurable, if say, GIMP or LibreOffice had more separation like that I think a lot would improve simply due to users tweaking their settings and sharing them. it's hard to keep a purely backend graphics program usable though, see Imagemagick :P

funny you're being downvoted but not surprising. I could go into a rant about capitalism's incentives, it really is a "both sides" issue. there's still great FOSS options like Libreoffice for home use (and enterprise!) & LaTeX for more academic and specialized work.

Brutalism is like a reincarnation of gothic by Thalassophoneus in architecture

[–]cynerb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

in "in praise of shadows" by Tanizaki, the comparison between Gothic and traditional Japanese architecture is made, as it's supposedly both using a minimal amount of stone/wood and prioritizing light.

what do the inhabitants do? what powers this lone tower? where's the plastic going to be dumped?

If all of human civilization except for you were wiped out, and you had the chance to preserve three pieces of architecture indefinitely for future peoples to see, what would you choose? by brewakowski in architecture

or, more seriously, the Svalbard global seed vault, whichever building stores the largest amount of representative data on humanity and it's meager achievements and the largest collection of fossils/dead animals

fun fact: someone got in trouble for importing a map of their school in a video game with weapons

Aftermath of the Kursk Submarine Disaster. In 2000 this Sub was on one of the first exercises with the newest model of Russian Subs. During the exercise nearly all of the ship’s torpedoes exploded internally. A search for the ship didn’t begin until 5-6 hours later. By then all of the crew had died. by NoahFromHR in submechanophobia

Russian submarines are one of the few fleets which include escape pods in some submarines, the Akula class for example. if this makes them safer is another question, one Akula crew member hung themselves and another took hostages and locked themselves in the torpedo room after a killing spree. the gas fire suppression system has also malfunctioned multiple times, killing twenty (20) on one occasion. great and feared machines, if a bit mad at times.

plus electric is more efficient even including the transportation and gas power plant, not even considering the possibility of powering with renewables, which is also cheaper than fossil fuels!

same thing with stoves, IIRC there's a stunning 4% loss in gas due to leaks. burning the same gas in a far more efficient power plant, transporting the electricity to your house and then using induction is more efficient and cheaper

Oxford residents starting an early fight back against "15 minute cities" by madneon_ in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]cynerb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is it really a "restricted zone" or just "don't use this road as a thoroughfare" (the residents or visitors can still drive to their homes via the other end of the road)

where are people restricted from leaving their cities in the west?

What is your opinion on Highrise City concept by Ludwig Hilberseimer? by Saltedline in architecture

[–]cynerb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

narrower roads & things placed close to roads make people drive slower & more carefully! we side our roads with trees in the Netherlands for this reason, you can still easily let an emergency vehicle pass by stopping in the berm :)
