Agree as well. Some of the hostile responses here are so insane I have wonder if they’ve even worked anywhere at all.
There’s so much to hate about Teams and Microsoft. Them trying to make the work status feature not completely useless isn’t it.
Yup. I’ve heard this first about Home Assistant, but software like this often inadvertently acts like a pacifier for tech enthusiasts. We may have our neat solution for the moment and be content with that, but that doesn’t help anyone else, or us in the long term. Things will get worse with no push-back.
Disclaimer: That’s not to say that we shouldn’t advocate for those tools in the meantime as well. We just shouldn’t lose track of the actual problem.
Even if it’s only a thing that needs to be done once: Either the one-day delay has to go, or Google.
There’s nothing redeeming about their plans.
Fully agree on that. Always better to start fully fresh, even without such problems.
That said, it’s still important that it will ship pre-installed. That way app-developers who block GrapheneOS cannot excuse their actions anymore by saying that it was your decision to use another OS, and therefore not their problem.
I’m actually enjoying catppuccin as well, really nice theme.
Funnily enough, I actually do use true black as my wallpaper and only have a fixed taskbar on my second non-OLED monitor in order to prevent any amount of degradation when im just using a browser on that second monitor.
If you don’t have the OLED yet, I’d wait a bit for it. Thanks to their intense contrasts, having a true black background can quickly cause eye strains, even more so with even just light astigmatism.
It’s kinda why OLED-Themes on phones haven’t taken over either, and the effect isn’t even as pronounced there as it is on a big monitor.
I wish it was only limited to support forums. I’ve seen a Linux kernel driver where the Issues sections was closed and you should go to Discord instead. No thanks.
Even worse, those stats are also probably just a leftover from a giant spike coming from Singapore around that time:
That one eventually got cleaned up, although a lot of the spillover into other countries remains.
I did some math at the time, and it must’ve been about 1000 fake machines for every real one. And considering this was kept online for several weeks despite making news: Yes, stop using statcounter.
Depends. This happened at a German conference and I assume that this person is most likely German as well. Probably shouldn’t think about getting anywhere close to the US though.
There’s still the possibility of facing prosecution in Germany. Not sure how probable that is though.
Em dashes, weird quote marks are always a giveaway
In a random comment or blog? Sure. In a professionally proofread document? No, adding those might as well be part of the job description. After all, the LLMs picked also have to have picked that behaviour up from somewhere.
Anyway, OP should have included the source, but it can be found pretty easily: https://bsky.app/profile/sanders.senate.gov/post/3m7izwntr322z
What I don’t understand is why the person that owns the device wrote the following in their blog post:
How could a simple IP block disable a vacuum cleaner that is supposed to work offline as well? - Source
This seems like that device was sold to him as “offline” capable. Where does that claim even come from? From a cursory glance I don’t see that product advertised that way anywhere.
Now, I’d be totally in favor that such devices working offline should be the norm, but then again, the person writing the blog should know how these devices currently work.
Adding onto that, the app StreetComplete makes contributing stupidly easy. You basically get a bunch of quests generatef around you with missing or potentially outdated data that you can fill in by answering simple questions. Basically Pokemon Go, but infinitely more useful.
Over the last year or so NVIDIA massively improved their Wayland support. May not be perfect, may not be as good as AMD, but it usually cones with lass drawbacks than the X11 experience.
Oh please, stop the act, we can see your shitty referral link.
What’s extra funny is that I already did all of this, and yet, I’ve been informed that my developer account is subject to deletion because I’m not active enough. Since my game does not get regular updates I said F this, let them delete my account. It’s still available for sideload on itch.io anyway. Jokes on me for believing that.
So yeah, it seems like Google is actively hostile towards building a library of software/games that just work and intentionally only wants live service garbage apps on their platform because those make more revenue.
This, so much. Looking back, it’s just insane that pretty much every program you don’t regularly use will beg for updates on Windows. There are some bandaids like WinGet now that I appreciate, but it’s still nowhere as seamless as when the OS and the whole ecosystem around it are designed with a package manager in mind.
A huge chunk of the time I have to spend on tinkering is probably already saved by me not having to wait for updates.
It’s also less waste if one of your charging methods breaks, as you can just swap over to the other method and might even find ordering replacement parts unnecessary.
Though ideally I’d also like to see more than one USB-C port for even more redundancy.
My current toolkit (as a 3D printing hobbyist) on Linux currently includes:
And then there are those people that put a whole damn song as their notification sound.
They’ve basically set up Pavlovs conditioning experiment and inserted themselves as the test subject.
Slightly off-topic, but has anyone ever checked if the tri-counts given here are actually correct? The first one, sure, you can count that by hand and it seems to be more or less correct (since we can’t see the backside). The thrid and fourth are too hard too count, so we just have to believe that. The second one though? I don’t see how that can be more than 300 tris or so.
