> Certainly no 'nasty toxic smells/paints'. There are manufacturers that provide laboratory analysis of their bricks to prove the quality.

The problem is, that the GOOD part sellers (like CADA) are always put into the same spot as these cheap aliexpress rip-offs... I think LEGO has done a great marketing job here... never buy something that is not LEGO, it might be bad quality

That's what I think. And even if the quality of the parts was less good, it's just not worth the LEGO price in many cases. The video I linked shows the difference.

I don't think that LEGO is better. They also have slightly off color, non fitting parts. Especially the "glass" parts are worse than Cada or BlueBrixx, but I'm not trying to convince anyone. I think that everyone can pic

So, this is something LEGO is desperately trying to preserve: The opinion that LEGO's prices are reasonable due to better quality and more creative design / higher quality engineering. The quality in all terms is not better at all

LEGO is indeed pretty expensive these times. Not every set is that bad, but the most cars are not only expensive, but not even the best sets on the market... There is a lot of comparisons, but the most convincing one maybe the LEGO Ferarri

pretty neat stack... I chose other projects in some cases (e.g. ntfy vs gotify) but all in all it's pretty complete. Thanks. Did you consider watchtower to keep the dockers up to date?

Understand your Environment deeply, not only the basics (Version Control, IDE, Tools) Don't avoid annoying things - try to be the one who can solve anything Learn how to automate repetitive tasks quickly (e.g. shell scripting + tools)

I think the complexity of your infrastructure is not helpful - so I would start in reducing it. I personally use one single server (Fujitsu D3417-B, Xeon 1225v5, 64GB ECC and WD SN850x 2TB NVMe) with Proxmox and an OpenWRT Router (Banana Pi

Very convincing pitch > Perhaps a viable compromise would be to insert a new layer above libinput. Since I think this probably will never get integrated in libinput, this might be the best solution for everyone - also opt in. Unfortunate

You're right, after tinkering around I also found settings that are ok. But that's only part of it. There are so many things that just work better on macOS, e.g. the "tap-to-stop" or "vertical-scrolling". I als

It is NOT a hardware issue. I used Hackintosh on my T460s and the macOS experience was nearly as good as on a MacBook Pro (hardly noticable difference). Switching back to Linux / Windows was the usual "meh" experience.

I just meant to point out the complexity of the transition Linux has gone through... The transition from X11 to Wayland is still a thing and most Environments / Window Managers still use code from both technologies. However, you are ri

That's what I think is the problem. And exactly the reason I thought cosmic could get this right. There is a lot of promising decisions in this project, but maybe it'll take a while to work as expected :-)

Noticing a problem and having smooth / improved scrolling are two different things. I think you can only notice the difference if you've ever used a macOS device with a trackpad for more than 2 weeks and then switched back to eith

While is may be true from a user perspective, this "kinetic scrolling simulation" was removed, because it could lead to unexpected behaviour. Example: If you where scrolling in a window, the driver kept sending scroll events for a

It isn't... You can see this in an open source JavaScript implementation of kinetic scrolling by Apple called PastryKit[3] using a magic number momentum * 0.9. The problem is, that on modern Linux environments, there is no clear respon

Yes, exactly. The device that comes closest to what I would say feature complete is the HiBy M300 for 200$. It has Android 13, modern specs and most important support for OMTP headphone remote control (Sony A306 does not have this). But the

I have 3 of them myself. The only thing that made me drop it in favor of the Nano is the lack of fast-forward / rewind via headphone remote AND the fact, that controlling it via remote always lights up the display. This is a no go when
