I am telling you again and again that other distros already do this.... there is nothing special about being able to install Spotify from the get go in a unified installer together with packages, you can do the same on Gnome or KDE with the

It isn't really, as long as you don't care about power consumption, physical constraints and money. Basically desktops <2025 (and hopefully >2027). DDR is optimized for latency and stability at the cost of bandwidth whilst G

> Omarchy lets you install commercial apps as easily as any other app. Including things like Spotify, Claude Code, Codex, steam and even Windows itself (as a VM). All from the same menu and mechanisms. That's just undeniably useful.

The only "commercial app" it themes automatically is Chromium. Obsidian you have to manually theme, the rest is just DE stuff that other distros also automatically theme. There's just nothing about Omarchy that makes it speci

I wouldn't exactly call Omarchy "good taste". Not that it's terrible, but pretty much the only reason it caught attention is because of the creator.

Yup, this. It is actually one of my test cases for LLMs: take the weekly discount PDFs of all the big supermarkets and process each of them, creating a nice table per supermarkt, converting discounts like 1+1 and only listing discounts that

LLMs are still absolutely horrid at analyzing PDFs so the results they are getting must be chock full of errors..

5G mm is vaporware. Virtually no one uses it (especially globally) and it is expected to be stripped out within a generation or two.

Haha yeah, I do realize that "hidden gems" are effectively arbitrage, where you are underpaying relative to the actual (market) value of the item.

This always makes me ambivalent about enthusiast blog posts. Like on the one hand, cool that the knowledge gets spread. On the other hand, whenever one gets popular, another hidden gem skyrockets in price or becomes semi-permanently low in

Right now, if you have video clips in Spotify enabled, your lockscreen controls will display 'Artist' - 'Song' - 'Video Available', instead of 'Album Name'. If you disable video all together, it just

You do realize you can do the exact same thing on macOS? Just alias sudo to whatever you want. BSD I assume you can do the same with doas. No desktop system is safe from your attack, unless you take specific precautions like chattr on the f

Only some places. Netherlands is €45-60 for 1 gbps (we don't make 4x-6x the money Spaniards do), unless you live in an area that actually sees multi-line competition. We do have an interesting sidegrade: 5G Klik & Klaar from Odido

Less optimized, but for the same or less money you get 4-12GB more. Apple can't optimize away that gap. Androids launched ≥2026 got a serious haircut in either memory or other features though. We'll see in 2028.

Yeah, it is a really weird one. Especially iOS is optimized to the gills, there is no real desktop running to speak of and app developers care just a little more than on Android, yet somehow an iPhone can't keep a few apps in memory, y
