Majority of the usual users wouldn't even notice (save for possibly faster page load). JPEG XL has mostly only benefits - backward compatible, can be converted without loss to and from, has better compresión thus smaller sizes and less

yes, because 0,000001% population swim with phones and need water proof... seriously, splash resistant is more than enough for almost everyone...

I never understood the need to concentrate all the offices in the single focal point of the city. And currently with WFH it seems to make even more sense to distribute office spaces in local "co-working" spaces and in the end mix

air travel pricing is weird AF. save from the direct vs connecting flight (as in this case), long haul, intercontinental flights are quite often to and return ticket priced quite similarly (it usually makes more sense to buy return then one

But email is the same as xmpp or DMs on "social media" - you can comunícate with various instances. the problem arise with groups (so mailing list, multi user chat or "communities") - in case of email you have mailing li

I never used those? I usually preferred keyboard shortcuts so laptop (MPB) with hands on the keyboard + occasional use of touchpad for "movement" was more than enough?

This is beyond annoying. But this is directly a result of the dumbest and the most popular metric - number of users on the platform (which is directly fuelel but dumb VC environment)... it doesn't matter if you are profitable or not, b

I did use a lot of gestures (especially in browsers, Opera from 10-15 years ago?) but with trackpad you have virtually the same? Single tap=left click, two-fingers tap = right click, cmd+tap = middle click. Two fingers swipe left/right

Ah, YMMV. I don't do any graphics/precise movement - mostly coding/shell/typing) and in this case trackpad is simply excellent - movement is precise and it's perfectly handy/accessible.

Why would you need a mouse when using macOS trackpads? Before switching to MBP (about 10 years ago) I couldn't fathom using trackpad but then after a couple of days of usage I was so hooked up and it _felt_ so natural than I can't

I'm from Europe, so probably that's my surprise. Most of the cars around here are still (I hope we will never reach what's in the US) mostly city-compact cars (VW golf size) so visibility is quite OK and rear mirror + sensor

AFAIR the CPU/APU size is quite small. What takes quite a lot of space is battery. And because things are less and less optimize we need more computing power which needs more juice. What's more - bigger screens require more power

My annoyance with it is that this mentality is exported outside. I'm "totaly cool" with Americans driving tanks on the roads and killing each other, I'm not fine having to deal with this shaite outside of the USA...

by ktosobcy 3y ago
Nah... it's like with dumb SUVs - do you think that everyone wants them? Or the demad was created because it was better for the makers to make them (with relatively lower increase in cost they can charge more for the end product)? Tied

I'm sorry but what? I replaced my previous mobile (OnePlus3) because of the battery - after about 4-5 years it became quite difficult to get through the day on single charge, and in the world where everything is getting more "elec

Well, I tried building pixelfed and ran into problems. I tried to follow reported, docker related issues on their github but without much luck. There was a momentum and even PR to create an image but it somewhat got stuck. tl,dr; not skille
