I'm saying that social media didn't cause the fears, but that social media ended the millenia of social pressure to just accept everything the way it is. Cities once did the same, by increasing the population density you could han

Not in locations where wild cats exist anyway. If wild cats exist in your area, the bird life has already adapted to them over the past millions of years. Obviously, if cats in your region have been introduced by humans, that's an enti

We're talking about a 21 year old OS as alternative. Back then, Windows would also require significant manual configuration to get it running. Windows may have become more "automagic" these days, but at least in the Windows X

I've got a 3840x2160 and a 1024x1280 (yes, portrait) monitors under windows. The first one at 144dpi, the second at 96dpi. The first at 10-bit 600 nits DCI-P3, the second at 8-bit 300 nits sRGB. Works just fine.

Sway with Wayland has every application render at both 1x and 2x and then has the compositor scale the application. This sounds like a really attractive idea until you realize that a 1.25x 1080p screen means you’re now rendering everything

Why is that broken by design? You'll never see content that's in integer scale of its original source anyway. e.g., many Sony cameras have a 6K sensor but downscale (not binning) the image to 4K. Android btw uses the same type of

Season 3 of TNG is definitely better than at least half of S1-S3 of TNG. Old-school Star Trek never was that good either, it took quite a while to figure out the formula to get good content. Only by the time DS9 and VOY came out did they

The third season of Picard is actually good again, I can really recommend it. A bit weird, but it's definitely evoking much more of the Star Trek feeling than the previous seasons did.
