hopefully fractional scaling in linux becomes more efficient in general. I stopped using linux because no amount of playing witht font sizes could make the gnome ui look decent at 100/200% scale coming from 175/225 percent scale,

Just downloaded this and it seems to be everything I've wanted on an ios safari adblocker. I was using ublock origin lite before. Its completely free like ublock but you can use your own filter lists. Thanks!

I've seen this argument thrown around but I'm not sure I understand how it holds up. Why didn't android just completely copy apple's marketing, then? What did apple do differently,marketing wise, that android couldn'

I was specifically referring to the down sampling that you refer to on GNOME. I don't think I've seen a linux desktop environment where this isn't the case. The result is that when you drag or resize windows (or have any move

It seems like Raspberry Pi has been trying hard to push itself as a PC instead of a tinkering embedded systems board. I'm not sure how I feel about this, since you can get better performing computers for cheaper. That being said, I

I agree. I've been trying to use linux as my daily driver for months but aside from using it for incredibly basic things (like web browsing and watching videos) its been a genuine chore. I've settled on fedora gnome as most likely

While I am disappointing, I'm not exactly surprised. I'm willing to bet that this is in response to the Windows 10 Mail App, which was a lightweight metro app that Microsoft depreciated to try to push people to use it's new o

If it wasn't obvious, using Box-Office numbers as a catch-all measure of film success hasn't been reasonable since we came out of Covid. Streaming counts are beginning to play a larger role. It's why so many large studios are

pdf.js is also available as an extension on chromium based browsers. I've found that scrolling on pdfs on a high dpi screen using the built in chromium pdf reader is extremely laggy so this has always been a must-have extension for me.

Thank you for posting- this is a viewpoint I never considered before. I was told that poor people had no way of affording large investments like houses and instead spent that money on status symbols.
