As an alternative for Electron it's not as important, so I cheer the effort. But... For me that means it's not really "native". Native as in CPU native is just to say it's reasonably fast and efficient. It's ni

I would guess that maybe just less games would be made.

I agree, but at the same time I feel that we are losing some of this common folk knowledge. It is strange, because we are in this information age, however it's full of noise. I'm not saying that it's bad to know how things ar

With every similar news I feel dumb. Because my parents and my grandparents used to say same things. It was easy to dismiss all the advice as grumbling, but I really should refresh air before sleeping, humidify air in heating season, eat mo

I hear you. In my office people have two 16:10 displays each. Everyone puts them side by side, making a long ribbon. A few people will setup main screen horizontally and second one vertically. Since I've got those with miniscule bezels

Remember that your computer is really made of multiple computers that run bare-metal code or can have their own OSes. For example Intel CPUs have Minix running inside of them.

I had once an update that broke the system. Here are the instructions I used to recover: https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/1080595?hl=en In short you need a pendrive and another computer with Chrome to

Thank you! Why such a useful thing was not copied by everyone (especially by YouTube and Netflix) is beyond me. I have to give Apple the credit for those tiny details.

One thing that I would love to have on mobile is an adaptive (?) video seeking. So you touch the "video cursor" and then move: the x axis is for seeking, but y axis is for sensitivity. Moving a finger along the bar (y = 0) is as t

Exactly. I think that, other than high profile OSS projects that receive donations from multiple companies and have salaried maintainers from said companies, only monthly donations work. But this way only one or two key people can live off

In many software jobs it's not possible to bring your own tools unless approved. Even if they are free and open source.

No, I'm reinventing ChromeOS. I started on this project with my father in mind, to make it easier for me to maintain his computer. My father would not run NixOS, but maybe I'm wrong. This will give a single image and very little t

As my old ARM Chromebook gets nearer to it's EOL I start to look for how to install Linux on it. I'm wondering if postmarketOS could be used to do this. Has anyone tried to do something like this or where should I look? I'm s

It seems that it would pay out a lot for them to do a few simple heuristics by hand. For example: if just bought something do not show a thing from the same category. At most show a thing from accessories category, which I think they do.

It is possible that there is a second device that does a sniffing part. This device may be a relay for the second device. They could be connected via Bluetooth, hence the Bluetooth dongle.

It was not always like this. In first albums it was quite smooth, for lack of better word. He started experimenting with voice straining a bit later. I always wondered if he "destroyed" his voice by this. Host that rag.

From what I found around 160 mln laptops were sold last year. Apple sold around 18 mln, in other words around 11%. HP, Lenovo and Dell sold each around 2 to 3.5 times that. Can you say then that Apple dominates laptop market? Rather that th

Am I the only one more excited about Librem 5 than about previous efforts at the time? When Openmoko shipped, I haven't even yet considered buying any smartphone. Then when Ubuntu Edge was a subject I had a phone, but thought about the

I was eyeing Lazarus, because it is close to my particular crossplatform toolkit ideal. I think that UI toolkit should use native widgets and near zero cost FFI. So any toolkit that draws for itself is not within my ideal. The most problema

So what makes UI agnostic composition engine different from other composition engines? Your answer means just a yes or "your question is irrelevant"? If the latter what I meant is a difference between Wayland and X. Wayland is a d

By UI agnostic composition engine do you mean like Wayland? So every app is supposed to paint itself?

But isn't it also a problem? We not only want to do things contained within a program, we also went them to cooperate. Don't we also want accessibility? I think that middle ground is needed, but currently pendulum is inclined in

On one hand I applaud, but on the other strict POSIX shell seems overly limited. My personal grudges: - no local variables (even dash implements them) - no process substitution [0] so one has to use temp files, temp named pipes or possibly

Thank you for your response! I remember that NILFS2 was in the middle order of magnitude in case of bugs from the presentation about filesystems fuzzing from 2016[0]. That certainly makes it more robust than BTRFS, but it's hard to com
