A few feedback bits: * At Dublin ferry port, only port 5 was clickable. * Card payments should be an option. Nobody would use cash like this. * Banks aren't open at 10PM. In fact, banks are hardly open at all. * You can change money at

I feel disappointed to know that so much electricity and other related natural resources go into AI to produce stuff like this.

> "Templates, hot module reloading, a simple SDK, and AI guidance help you and your team rapidly vibe code MCP Apps with ease." Excuse me while I go vomit. If the future of the web is vibe-coded slop, I want no part of it.

How much electricity (and associated materials like water) must this use? It makes me profoundly sad to think of the huge number of AI agents running endlessly to produce vibe-coded slop. The environmental impact must be massive.

It's way more complex than "no self control". Social media is addictive by design and is peddled at such scale that it is literally impossible to ignore. It's also backed by billions upon billions of dollars. Pitting the

You are not acknowledging the fact that the companies producing these addictive apps are very much doing it intentionally. They are specifically making it as engaging as possible because that's how they make money . And they have bill

Do you consume heroin? If not, why not? Unregulated social media is digital heroin. And allowing it to be run by billionaires with thinly-veiled agendas is like cutting the heroin with rat poison.

I know submissions are not meant to contain modifications to article titles, but would it be so bad to have added "at 6mph" and/or "minor injuries" to the title?

For desktop use? Windows XP. It's got the right balance of aesthetics and practicality. Windows ME also works, but is more utilitarian. Anything after 7 is just absolute garbage.

I feel like the true scandal beneath all of these big government contracts is not necessarily the money spent, but actually how poor the services received are. I have worked with many "big agency" developers and can tell you categ

If we're talking about mass adoption of Linux then there really has to be no concept of even "picking a camp". The vast majority of users - even techy people - will not understand what a window manager is, never mind be capab

Looks like an awesome project; thanks for sharing it. On my next attempt at a Linux desktop I'll most certainly try it. I'll also create a feature request for resizing/stacking of rows.

It's not the only thing, although it is a big one. Honestly Windows just feels better to me and works the way I want it to. It might help that I've always used enterprise versions so I've never had to deal with the awful bloa

It's not. You can add quick launch icons and drive shortcuts natively (right click > Toolbars > New Toolbar). I only use Taskbar Tweaker to replace the Windows Aero-style tooltip with the standard jump list right click menu. The

I'll consider switching to Linux when the GUI becomes as configurable as Windows 10 or earlier. For example, this is my taskbar layout: https://i.ibb.co/1GqKH27L/taskbar-layout.png To my knowledge, it's not

My experience of Linux (and Mac OS) has been the opposite; they are extremely painful to make usable. Yes, I have to disable a lot of stuff to get Windows the way I like it. But that's still exponentially easier than having to add, ins

Does anyone else not really "get" these media managers? Personally I still find it much easier to grab media from a torrent and watch it on a computer using VLC. It requires zero setup. I do have the benefit of a PC connected to m
