I think there's an entire generation that think that UIs should be bloated and slow and have taken web apps to be the norm. It's very sad.

Lunacy. Change looks like progress to some people. And doubly so if it looks like all web UIs these days - loads of padding, giant buttons, and really slow to load and render.

But it just wraps the native controls...? You're effectively saying that native controls are not for 2022...

A truly excellent toolkit. The code is very readable and the developers are quick to communicate/respond on the forum or stackoverflow. I wish more people used it instead of writing "apps" that are just a giant web browser wi

Perhaps they can identify what you like by what you order??

You're not missing much if you can't get series 2 onwards! The crew of all Star Trek ships now appear to need to have a group hug and good cry every episode and tell each staff member how important and unique they are rather than

I use pbzip2 with gusto because the original bzip2 is single-threaded. I heartily recommend it to all I meet, even those in the street!

This is such a good summary. I went from Linux to macos a decade ago and then have come back to Mate on Linux because my macbook is too old to be supported, and also because macos was really leading the way in needlessly locking stuff down

It seemed to start around the GNOME 3 time when they were "simplifying" apps by removing all useful UI elements and hiding them in a hamburger menu that you couldn't access with the keyboard, ensuring you spent 80% of your ti

The left one isn't even that clear but on the right is horrendous!

Use rclone to grab them instead.

I can't work out why you wouldn't develop a native app anyway - all this scaffolding in a Web UI to imitate native controls (like menus) seems completely backwards to me. Seems just lazy, but in an odd way because writing native a

Next in line, let's hope it's Elite Dangerous: Odyssey! Brilliant when it works and very beautiful, but with odd bugs and reversions that indicate that their internal source handling system is a mess or the code is made of spaghet

Yes yours is the posher model! Mine is a LCD - just dug out the model number and it's TX-49EX600B. I languish in LCD land. (And it's 49" - no idea why I thought it was 42").

Sorry to be vague. I blocked various domains that the TV wanted to use in order to send data back, eg. ichnaea.netflix.com collect-eu-fy2017.myhomescreen.tv x2.vindicosuite.com But it is allowed to access other domains such as: nrdp.prod.ft

I have a Panasonic from a few years ago (cheapest 4K I could find; is "smart" so has Netflix and Amazon Prime Video and other UK streaming services like More4, ITV Player, Disney+) and it does rely on contacting Panasonic for them

Interesting spreadsheet! For a Git GUI for Linux (and Windows), you might like GitAhead which builds under Linux? It's not under active development but has been forked to GittyUp: https://github.com/Murmele/Gittyup

I can't stand the popup menus from a single button, like the single button in Firefox. The Gnome apps seem to have adopted it and it is horrible. I would like a proper menubar so I know what the accelerators are without having to move

Yes you are right. If just connecting to the Pi, port forwarding is fine (and I use this). When adding more devices at home (IP cameras etc.) and not connecting just to the Pi then the Wireguard VPN comes in.

And I even used a Motorola Atrix with the Lapdock - that was underpowered and disappointing too. Great idea for the time but a few years too early. The hardware was nice though.

Why not just run Wireguard on a raspberry pi, set up DDNS to send your home IP to a Dynamic DNS provider (if you're on a dynamic IP), and then SSH to your machines at home using keys (instead of passwords)? Setting up a Pi and running

This is crazy. Is there any reason to learn how to write with a speedy native toolkit anymore??

Yes the lifetime out of my old one has been great, so I am pretty confident I'll get the same lifespan out of my other 2016 one no problem. I'll ponder what device to get next since I might just get a Mac Mini at home. I already h

The touch strip turns off if you don't use the keys for a few seconds. So if you are programming and thinking during debugging, you might want to press a function key to step into/over/continue. But the touchbar has turned of

Yes, it seems bizarre that the dismissal of various other devices as Chinese (Huawei laptops?) doesn't impact Macbooks, which are also all made in China. The Huawei laptops look excellent Apple copies from what I can see.

I have a 2012 going strong too. Battery has been charged and recharged less than my work 2016 but is in much better health. Upgraded it to 16GB RAM and put a 1TB SSD in it. It has worked flawlessly (it's the i7). Do you know if there a

It still seems to hinge around consumer products and communities to support the products. Perhaps the cart has now been put in front of the horse somewhat and they think that a great community (or being involved in issues entirely separate
