I would argue with that. Also if you want to find the biggest carbon emitter then look no further then the oceans. We should ban them too. Or at least that was in one study, but who knows. There are hundreds of studies nowadays on this topi

Sorry, if I offended you. I am not against vegans or vegetarians, but you never see a non-vegan one walking up to you and telling you that you are a shit person if you're not one of them. I think veganism and vegetarianism is slowly be

I am fully aware of this. But instead of going vegan or vegetarian we could put our meat consumption back to a sensible level, where we don't overdo it and raise and slaughter more animals that we can actually eat. I'm not against

I love how vegans and vegetarians have this 'holier then thou' attitude. Not like we don't need still a lot of land to grow our crops, but whatever. What will be his next move? Bans using electricity? Orders every employee to

Well my grief with the touchpad was really when it came to frontend work. or even just scrolling through lines of code was a pain as it was too sensitive in every way. This kind of behaviour makes any kind of interaction a pain. Not that yo

In certain ways touchpads can be more precise. With a good mouse with very high DPI, movement will be better, but when it comes to stuff like, pinch zoom, or fine scrolling, then touchpads are much better. Also with gestures you have way mo

For me Ubuntu 18 was worse then 16.10. A lot of properties I used to fine tune the touchpad with xinput were gone or changed. Was very disappointed. So if you haven't made the change yet, then you might want to stay on whatever you

No palm detection by default. Horizontal scroll was so sensitive, that even on the slightest movement triggered it. Taps were too sensitive. And vertical scroll was sluggish. All these things I managed to fix more or less with xinput, by ch

First of all, when there is a manufacturer who can create something decent as a macbook touchpad, then others can do the same. Especially when you are at a price point that is identical to a Macbook's. There is no excuse to cut corners

Can KDE do something about touchpad support whist the underlying X and kernel support for the hardware is absolute rubbish? It was a while ago I used KDE, but from what I can remember there was no option to fine tune touchpad behaviour. I l

I feel your pain. Ubuntu Desktop was my preferred go to distro not too long ago. Using 16.10 was nice and I managed to get the touchpad working in a reasonable way with xinput. Then 18 came along and everything went to hell. All the propert

One of the main reasons I stopped using Linux is the touchpad! It is horrible out of the box experience and the insult to injury is the lack of no good user interface to even set anything. You have to screw around with libinput or xinput wi

I don't know. How would you feel if someone would call you a pedophile on social media, but deleted the comment after a couple of hours? Especially by a person who has a huge following and every word he writes can have a massive impact

I can understand his reasoning in some way. I liked to play around with compiling kernel and install stuff from source to get a very personalised experience. Now I just want to be an end user and have an OS which I install and majority of t

Another example I should mention here to prove the great value of Research. I had a project years ago, was working alone on it. Took months to complete, but the whole application was a small disaster. Lots of small bugs and UX issues. Made

In the end, every complex task is made up by a lot of simple ones. Always do research before starting on the actual development. It will clear up a lot of things on the very beginning. Helps you create milestones (goals), which can give you
