No comment on the music but if they carry on with cover art like this then they're going to be hearing from elastic.co lawyers!

This needs to be the top comment in my view.

Pretty much any new laptop running any operating system will be able to adequately do word processing but they will all feel different and they will be a range of price points. This is why involving your wife who will be the user for this device is critical. One of the key advantages with Apple is that you can try out every current model in person at an Apple store. I don't know how easy it is for you to get to one, but if you have the option I would definitely recommend sending your wife to do that.

I've been where this article describes, so has the author. Excellent article.

I'm afraid that with this sort of approach you're unlikely to get what you're asking for. AFAIK LemmyConnect has a single developer and it's an open source project that isn't paid. As a developer with a small open source project myself I've dealt with this style of request myself. Here are my red flags that you might like to address:

  • Doesn't bother to identify developer or developers
  • Doesn't try to identify project's preferred feature request route
  • Doesn't try to find out if feature is already on roadmap or requested or available elsewhere
  • Doesn't try to find out if feature is relevant to project or to base protocol
  • Takes an arrogant attitude with 'LMAO'/'LOL' etc
  • Claims feature 'trivial to implement'
  • Doesn't ask what would actually be needed to implement feature
  • Considers themselves 'a customer' (or appears to)
  • Doesn't offer assistance

I see. So for comparison what do you see for this when you access lemmy via a desktop web browser?

That's not how it works.

  • You need to set up an account on a Lemmy instance and log into it using Connect.
  • You can then subscribe to specific communities with that identity.
  • If you want to have different types of feeds, set up different identities, ideally on different instances.
  • 'All' is basically 'new' for everything that anyone on that instances subscribe to
  • 'Local' is what's new for that instance
  • 'Front page' is what you are subscribed to
  • If you check top right there are various sorting algorithms such as 'hot'/ 'active'/'top'

Could someone explain to me what the difference is between 'gaming headphones' and regular noise cancelling Bluetooth headphones e.g.

I don't really understand how that can work well. In the UK speed cameras are on stretches of road where people may exceed the speed limit by significant amount, e.g. motorways (freeways in American). You wouldn't have them at a junction where people would stop. I can't recall ever seeing a red light camera here although I'm sure there are some somewhere.
