I just need to build iOS apps without any added absurdity. It can run at 640x480 VGA for all I care.

Mac users eagerly recommend importing Linux tools (Docker, Brew) to make MacOS a tolerable dev environment. But they completely miss the fact that Apple makes it illegal to do the reverse: I can not run a MacOS VM on Linux. I can't und

Moderation, either top-down curation or bottom-up mute/block, is not a solution. Either way, you're going to haphazardly create echo chambers, which aren't great at maintaining free speech.

I feel like there was an indirect experiment here: how quickly defenseless humans can be mauled by a struggling cat in an enclosed space.

Achieving tunneled X applications is not hard, as you said it's a solved problem, but I have never found it worth the effort either. 1. VNC has a "stable session" that doesn't collapse when SSH closes. Even between Linux

That's a completely useless comparison that applies almost no where in the world? You need to compare driving vs pervasive transit and bike networks. I doubt New Yorkers or Amsterdammers would accept your efficient car hypothesis. In t

LOL, cars don't go anywhere near 25mph in Boston. They'll average 15mph, if they're lucky. Even with ~70% of the right of way allocated to cars, there's still too many of them for the road to handle. I don't know wh

Also importantly, solutions don't magically appear. Someone needs to do the work and before even that happens, the problems need to be identified and studying.

Politicians are not going to go out of their way to hurt industry unless the public are rabidly screaming for it. These reports are for the public to generate that push.

I doubt you're going to win your argument using RT as an example. We're one whoopsie away from war. That's very different than regular censorship.

At a government level, you can not banish politics without infringing on speech. Your proposal directly conflicts with the first amendment. If Disinformation was simply promoting outdated chauvinism, it wouldn't be perceived as such a

The esp32 vs avr split covers a pretty wide range of needs. esp32 for wifi stuff, horsepower, or just more pins. The AVR is for power sipping things: ATtiny pulls 10nA(!) in deep sleep and you don't need a voltage regulator on a 1s lit

Rust and esp32 was a rough ride for setup. The pthread rwlock thing stumped me for a while because I missed `esp_idf_sys::link_patches()` in main. I eventually found that missing piece and got it going. It's hard to tell which MCU is p

I'm waiting for a System76 laptop with AMD graphics, no numpad(!), and not a 1080p screen. It's hard to talk about price when it doesn't exist.

The "semi autonomous" in the title makes me think of FSD cars. It's amusing to think of the differences in caution for adopting new technology: "might cause a crash" versus "might end the world".

I am a Sway (i3 wayland) user and was forced into a MacBook for work. You're going to find Amethyst (and MacOS in general) deeply disappointing. It tries its best but MacOS is a very toxic place for enabling power users.

Aren't high speed cables shorter? I thought they were limited to something like 18"/45cm?

I discovered that some of my "USB-C" devices only charge with a USB-A to USB-C cable. They won't charge at all with a C to C cable. I'm not sure what the problem is but it's a bit disappointing.

I would add, a stock smartphone with LineageOS or some other de-Googled ROM. A stock smartphone is still going to have Google Play Services, Firebase, and a bunch of other things that could phone home.

I don't know anyone still using MP3s. Everyone has moved on to one streaming service or another. As a parent, I don't feel like purchasing offline music for my kids as it's one more thing they'll outgrow as they get olde

How does Google Maps handle a bus or other transit? You could have 50 people, all starting and stopping every 100m, like it's bumper-to-bumper traffic. I suppose they don't all have Google Maps open but it could be reporting anywa

Yeah, I think the Giant Car problem is what will doom this system in the US. True scooters like these can use the bike lanes in most cities (ymmv) so they might have a chance but they'll be stuck behind regular bikes and e-bikes and so

But we ARE talking about motorcycles here. And sliding out on ice on a bicycle is wayyyy different than a motorcycle. Most people can muscle a bicycle into submission but a light motorcycle starts at 300lbs/130kg. Good luck holding tha

Why should I want a key that focuses a window (app) on a separate hidden workspace that doesn't also cycle to that workspace? What am I supposed to even do with a focused app where all the open work is somewhere else? Every Apple fan a

Linus of LTT is an ascended videogamer. His knowledge ends just past overclocking your watercooled setup to get 2 more FPS out of the latest videogame. He's sometimes entertaining but never informative.

I think mini and micro USB were pretty common when the iPhone debuted but maybe I only higher end phones. You probably got a lot of trash chargers though, like an AC wart hardwired to a uUSB plug or some mini USB to DC barrel jack adapter a
