by the way, out of curiosity, is this something content producers add to their videos or something youtube autogenerates? I've seen SmartTubeNext skipping ads and other bullshit and I was wondering where the feature came from.

And that's true for a limited subset of people lucky to work in a field where the two aspects overlap.

That's not work, that's life. The opposite of working is not idling, it is spending your time in activities that realize your self without being constrained by the survival struggle.

I have a couple of sparse swap files handy for when I know I'll need them. And it happens with some very specific and predictable use cases. Usually it's when I need to load some big timeseries csv files from pandas and parse a da

Get a good amount of swap on ssd, the default 2GB on most distros is not nearly enough to save you when you really need swapping. IIRC you can even make it sparse to not occupy disk space when you're not using it.

I believe it's a generational thing. We, in our late thirties, didn't have so much video content, we studied from books, learned from written content. Younger generations adapted to use videos as a learning aid, sometimes as the m

The comparison here is not Amazon vs Zalando, it's Amazon vs the typical marketplace seller, which is either an italian small business or a chinese seller or european dropshipper shipping directly from China.

Sure it does not naturally provide a better service, but does the better service this come from its dominance position or dominance is a consequence of that? I mean marketplace vendors could offer the same level of service customer expect f

by aulin 5y ago
Market dominance exists because they offer a better service to the customer. It's not like Amazon has always existed in Italy and always had a dominance position. They gathered their position because they offer a better experience and

Doesn't seem this will hold any ground if Amazon decides to fight it... FBA products have a clear competitive advantage: free shipping for Prime customers, fast and reliable shippings, easy returns, a networks of lockers so you don&#x2

Yep, they made it gradually less discoverable, leaving an option in system preferences first, then removing it and allowing to enable it from cmdline, then removing it altogether. I believe it went away completely with Big Sur.

For most people not using macos 4k is overkill and 1080p can be enough not by itself but because the other two major OS (windows and linux) have antialiased text with subpixel hinting. I.e. they can exploit the pixel internal structure to d

Ok, I understand it cannot be comparable with a 5k iMac. But is text good enough? with €5k+ I can build a pretty serious linux rig with a couple of 4k monitors and keep the macbook air m1 just for mobile use. It's a shame that my 10+ y

by aulin 5y ago
that's a different issue altogether, this one is about macos not supporting 2k and 4k monitors native resolutions, that one was about antialiasing. At some point, when Retina was introduced, Apple decided to completely disable their su

by aulin 5y ago
can you confirm they work in retina mode with macs? e.g. anyone tried 27UL500 and can confirm text looks good?

by aulin 5y ago
at least linux has subpixel antialiasing so text still looks crisp on perfectly good full hd monitors...

I mostly agree. But that's only true for the very small subset of GNOME's own applications for which the little set of actions provided by the hamburger menu is enough. I doubt they ever had the strength to push for a osx-style gl

Would you mind expanding on what does MacOS provide to the user category you describe that e.g. Linux+GNOME doesn't?

I meant more battery quality than battery life, they usually include a small supercapacitor that tends to fail abruptly. I've had ones that lasted for years and others failing after a couple of months.
