Windows doesn't have global menus, it defines an API to get the workspace coordinates, which allows apps to know the area available to the window (i.e. not covered by the Start Menu)

GNOME as a platform (and by extension, all of their associated projects which unfortunately includes the Wayland protocol) has such a bizarre worldview - it's like they think they can treat the Desktop OS, with all of its user expectat

Windows has all the same facilities, it's just a different userbase (and I guess, less Win32 hackers than Linux hackers around).

My experience shipping the Slack Desktop app was similar - the Linux bug reports were always insanely specific, detailed, and sometimes literally had the fix to the bug in the report! A huge contrast to the macOS and Windows users (who natu

You realize that the cost of completely switching your phone and ecosystem is not limited to the monetary price of the hardware. Right? Especially versus the cost (monetary or otherwise) of installing another chat app?

Yep. This phenomena isn't generally true outside of the US and it is 100% because of the abuse that is iMessage aka Blue Bubble Bullying. Having a phone that doesn't open iMessage is basically a guarantee in the US that you will b

This is the tradeoff of SQLite, it is extremely fast, as long as you only mostly have one user. With WAL you can get multiple readers, but it doesn't scale the same way that e.g. PostgreSQL does

This is similar to the Apple GPU trick where unified memory means it's easier to load large models into GPU space, but as others have said, the AMD APU built into these chips is _really_ underpowered, even compared to other RDNA APUs l
