What a comforting thought that is to know.

EDIT: “Who’s next” is more accurate though.

The problem is that the kind of people that run these types of companies will first see the world burnt to ashes before losing profits and power.

So yes, they will fall, but they’ll be taking us down with them.

There’s a few devices out there that don’t offer NAT hairpin/loopback by default, such as Mikrotik.

The lack of “easy money”. A lot of companies have had accelerated growth due to an influx of investments which were mostly interest-free (or very low interest) loans . You didn’t have to have a good product - just overinflate your value till your IPO, then the value will determine stock price, everyone gets rich.

Now that interest rates are higher, investors want a lot more bang for their buck. Couple this with companies that no longer know how to make good products, now they’re just squeezing shit dry and scheming and scamming their customers to fulfill their one and only legal obligation: make more money for the shareholders.

Godot, it’s the most mature of the bunch. It’s a little different than Unity, but it’s definitely very user friendly, really powerful and has an active community.

Thanks! I like the big gaps, and having two monitors helps.

No, I extracted some colors from the wallpaper and used that.

Very retro with the heavy dropshadow. Love it!

Appreciate it! I wanted to use existing setups/dotfiles, but none of them really spoke to me, so I said screw it and I started from scratch.

That’s what you get from not using curl

Wasn’t Waze bought by Google or am I misremembering?

Fusion 360. I’m sorry, but FreeCAD just can’t compare.

You kid, but I think he actually did.

Hardware… what?

Odourless, tasteless, colorless, uncarbonated soda pop.

It really depends on your use case. My Titan’s MediaTek is enough for me as I don’t do super intensive tasks on it. In a pinch it does the job. If I’m away and need to quickly SSH into my servers, I can do that, no problem. I can make calls and text people and it has a huge battery. Right now it’s as de-googled as it can get with the stock ROM.

The drawback is that due to the wonky 1:1 aspect ratio display, a lot of apps either have bugs or bad usability, because they were created for taller scrrens. To me, it doesn’t matter, as I cut down on smartphone usage and just have a handful of apps.

There are still some smartphones that have hardware keyboards. Unihertz makes a few (I have the very unwieldy OG Titan). There’s also the Fxtec Pro1 X.

Sony still uses multicolor notification LED in their phones.
