I agree with the idea that the content should be emphasised. Unfortunately the extreme UI padding goes in the opposite direction for me. The fat toolbar in Safari is a good example. I care about the web content but now I have to give up par

Yeah, you kinda have to drink the whole koolaid before it clicks. It’s great when it does though. It only clicked for me when I started using NixOS (on my primary laptop in my case) rather than just Nix.

Cool, but you could also just use software such as GoldenCheetah or rubiTrack.

You might be able to get around this by using the laptop microphone instead of the one on the AirPods. Option + click the volume icon in the menubar during a call and choose the MacBook microphone. Audio should switch to A2DP and sound much

Hmm. If this had a ~14" display in roughly the current chassis size then it would be an instant buy for me. Now I'm not sure - is the 14" still happening? Or should I go for this one?

Aluminium is a much better heat conductor than steel.

Yeah, maybe it's the OS version. I'm running Catalina and I see the scaling options from that screenshot for my external non-Apple monitor.

by lightbulbjim 7y ago
Not true. I get the same scaling options on my 4K monitor as I do on my Retina display.

Try foobar2000 on iOS. It should do what you’re after.

I would say it's more slanted towards desktop use than server use. Generally you want to automate server management with some sort of config management. While possible with Slackware, it's easier with a Debian or Red Hat style sys

Gnome has an “enable Emacs key bindings” option which will enable readline shortcuts. Can’t remember whether it’s in settings or the tweak tool.

Isn’t Ctrl+UpArrow the default Mission Control shortcut? I too prefer the MacOS copy/paste shortcuts, but I find that MacOS and Mac apps mix up Ctrl/Cmd just like other systems.

Obok can grab the books straight from your Kobo using the Calibre plugin. No need for the desktop software.

Nah. My 13" MacBook Pro is 13.3" at 2560x1600 or 227 PPI. My 24" 4K monitor is 24" at 3840x2160 or 184 PPI. Your 32" 4K monitor is 138 PPI, so only 60% of the density of MacBook displays.

This echoes my experience. After over a decade of dwm I switched to Gnome a few months ago and can’t see myself going back. I love the performance and window management aspects of dwm but I really like the cohesive desktop I get with Gnome.

I much prefer the touchpad. It's so nice being able to click the top part easily.

On the flip side a refurbished item was inspected by a human and deemed to be functional. A new item was probably last touched by a robot.
