How does snap compare to flatpak etc.? I use opensnitch and eventually found the appropriate blocking rule for every time a snap is launched or appimage from some random mount path for the process. Not sure what's wrong with using the

This is particularly true if you use external audio hardware. Will it work? Has Apple changed something underneath that stops the drivers loading? Do I need to buy the software again to use it reliably (eg. Parallels)? I ended up ditching m

The Finder titlebar now is in a massive font and truncates at the END of the file path and ellipses the text at the END. It should be at the beginning or middle. Eg. in directory /Users/rich/Library/Developer/CoreSi

Amazing that anyone uses Google Drive with the horrendous user interface. Honestly File Manager in Windows 3.11 is easier to use. You can actually find out how big a directory is in File Manager!

I think with lyrics most people don't give them a second thought and don't realise what the person is singing about. Most people can't even tell you which instrument is being used in a part of a song. This is different to vis

I don't have a degree but my ears are pretty good at detecting the complete flatness of bass dynamics and destruction of all peaks as soon as the bass is played. Horrendous. Was the degree interesting?

The one thing that baffles me with SEO is how it's just guesswork yet is a massive business. It's like promising to someone that you'll get their name listed sooner in the phonebook without any control over the phonebook itse

I had the first version of that album and it's mastered and mixed horrendously. One of the worse albums I have ever heard - I emailed the mastering engineer and he said "McCartney wanted it like that..." and that he think he

I have a photographic memory and notice it is getting worse with age. Do you find anything helps? A successful memory might be good for successful people but it might also be a curse to be surrounded by a sea of people who need to be consta

Accidentally hearing a tune is also the case for lawsuits, eg. Coldplay / Satriani from years ago.

But some of his lyrics are terrible: how many times can you say "in"? In this world in which we live in... And "someone's knocking at the door, someone's ringing a bell, do me a favour, go to the door, open it and l

I think ear training helps with that. I found listening to fusion helped because you were introduced to many scales you didn't hear in everyday music, so soon heard the differences. There's nothing more grating than hearing people

I have 11809 files in my repo. Opening a git tool (GittyUp) on this repo takes minutes but seconds on Fossil (on a Pi4 with USB3 NVMe). I use Windows + Linux machines + Pi and share between them so don't use the Pi4 exclusively but hav

I use Fossil at home since it's just me. The single file approach takes up less space than the comparable git tree. Fossil has the ability to push to git, which I do periodically just for curiosity.

You can also run x86 32bit binaries on the Pi with box86: https://box86.org/ Surprisingly performant and very impressive.

You are using lots of words that do not mean a lot to me. It is indistinguishable from marketing-speak. "decentralized, user innovation and privacy-first future" Why would you want a decentralized desktop? Are you somehow referrin

Yes, the flat icons for Google products are indistinguishable from each other now. The other fad is tonnes of whitespace in UIs and no edges so you're just staring at a white light all day. This is widespread on Windows 10 + 11 (see th

Run the desktop client on a Pi in a VNC session at home and automatically receive the identical messages - no problem! Not a proper solution but a hacky workaround possibility.

Not sure about the menu, but using Mate (which is GNOME2+ effectively), by default the menu was a weird menu in the style of Windows 11 where you had to type to find anything. But you could replace the menu with a different menu button from

"neglected to verify that was actually the case" This seems very true. They decided that "apps" should abandon all of the useful toolbars because they were too "distracting" which is why gedit ended up being a

What's with the modern obsession of using web rendering for everything? It's actually insane.

Sorry, did you just say you liked gnome 3 yet told us that the file manager isn't great? I use mod + left/right to move my windows on Mate. Alt tab still works fine. Mod + r shows the run box which shows all the same entries as th

I use the Pi4 passively cooled using an aluminium enclosure. If the form factor is not important to you, the Pi400 runs far far cooler (and faster) because it has a large heat spreader inside it. For the NVMe, I got an Icybox NVMe enclosure

I would also ask that the "what's changed" or "changelogs" for updates from Google (YouTube) apps, Netflix and Slack etc. are consigned to the dustbin forever and ever. "We fixed the tubes that bring you cat vi

I run a Pi 8GB booting from a USB3 NVMe. It runs a PiHole, plus acts as a WireGuard server so I can VPN into it permanently on my phone and actually get useful adblocking on the go. I also run a Navidrome instance on it and use Subtracks on

This is very interesting - is that just a general acupressure spikey ball? I am looking for one on Amazon, if you had the link? Also, reading up on the vagus how is the vagus stimulated via the foot? Reading on wikipedia on the vagus nerve

I used this when I was running a donated 486 with only 8MB of RAM in about 1998? I was poor. Fond memories.
