  • Lol nah I’m right handed. But to get the geometry right, my fridge is on the right side of the kitchen, and the door hinge is on the right. So the eggs stay on the left side of the fridge closest to the rest of the kitchen counter tops. So the carton comes out and goes back in the same orientation using my right hand. Meaning I’m always grabbing the heavy side with the eggs.

    I’m still careful anytime I’m grabbing the carton just in case, but so far no dropped eggs in the house













  • Having the flexible screen facing externally on one fold seems quite reckless considering how fragile they still are by virtue of needing to be flexible. Having a Fold 4, the screen definitely relies on the thin film screen protector that the flexible screens come with. But because the screen is contained internally, it’s protected by the device.

    Having it unprotected means any drops on a surface that is able to hit the screen directly will most likely lead to cracks in the LED layer and kill the screen. And the geometry of the folded part would imply that any impacts will most certainly lead to cracks. You can test this by folding a piece of paper in a similar manner and then hitting the folded part. It’ll make tiny very sharp creases in the paper, and these creases are what kills the screen.








  • From a technical standpoint, I can’t see media-heavy social media in the format of Facebook lasting too long in a federated environment considering the costs involved to maintain the server instance. Trying to do that while being free is absolutely unsustainable. Another shift in resource management would have to happen before platforms like that would be inexpensive and scalable.

    Currently, Lemmy instances are slowly and steadily growing with each user interaction within, and between instances. Most shared content is link aggregation meaning minimal server resources. But resource usage goes up much faster when images, or even videos are uploaded to be shared. This format will only grow more expensive over time, and definitely won’t last in the current format.
