Not sure what to think of that large space use across the bottom on a widescreen display.
That’s one reason why I downgraded from windows 11 to windows 10.
In standard KDE, the standard “start menu” at least is quite thin.

I was wondering about that when sensationalist science Youtubers started spreading the footage like wildfire.
Finally supporting PWAs on Desktop? Bringing back battery APIs and Network APIs so we can develop powerful apps than run on firefox.
Edit fixed typos.
mRNA? Oh boy the anti vaxxers are going have have their heads explode.
Great news though as that’s a pretty common cancer.
Been there as a kid in the 90s. Sitting in the back my my parents Toyota Carina with my 2 siblings, while we were towing a caravan.
That car had a 2l, 4 cylinder petrol and got through the Alps and Pyrenees. Iwas more comfortable touring that way than going by tent only. Now I’m in Australia where I’m gobsmacked by how much shit people “need” to go camping. All while I’m exploring the same locations and actually spending more time camping in the bush as I tour on a tiny, economical 125cc motorcycle.
Almost to prove a point, I took that little thing to Cape York and will take it RTW next year, partly to show that you don’t need much.
We already had that in the 70s and 80s. Those were RoRo trains.
You put your car on a drive on ramp. Go into the comfy cabin, maybe even a sleeper cabin for over night journeys. Get out at the other end, drive your car down the carrier and explore the area that you’ve journeyed to with the vehicle that you own. Look up the 89s ABC film about the Ghan railway closing down.
I live in Australia and love seeing the distant from my home centre of tue country. Unfortunately long distance trains here have become a lifestyle luxury experience rather than transportation. Same goes for bicycles amd motorcycles.
You’re proving my point exactly. The imperial system is so convoluted that even people that INSIST that EVERYONE should use it, don’t understand its units.
Just because most people don’t have to deal with a certain conversion, doesn’t mean that none do. There are enough engineers that design stuff which is related to problems on these variations in scale. They waste hours in productivity in needlessly complicated conversions (because fractions). Not to mention the mistakes that get introduced like the famous Mars lander that crashed because of imperial unit conversions.
Not only are the units incredibly inconsistent, you also have the issue that Brits and boat people use variation of some of the same units. US Gallons vs British Gallons, mile vs nautical mile. MPH, vs knots. That barley corn that Holzkohlen mentioned defines shoe sizes, unless of course, you don’t wear shoes.
Didn’t you see the meme: “There are 2 types of countries, those that ise the metric system and those that landed on the moon.”?
It’s also usually shared by the same idiots that don’t realise that barley corn is an actual measurement in their beloved imperial system.
Ask any of these smart arses how barley corns are in a foot or how many feet are in a mile and suddenly you hear excuses. Not to forget that the inch defined by the meter.
Indonesia is just bizarre. They’ve got the most draconian and nonsensical laws. The only step up is a full on fascist country like China or russia.
Other than being cheap, I don’t understand why so many digi nomads want to live there.
Louis posted a video on a much bigger problem that Google has with ads. These campaigns seem to completely neglect.
In short: it’s fake views. That’s were advertisers pay for viewed ads, but the view happened to a bot. Ad block at least doesn’t discourage advertisers since they don’t pay for unviewed ads.
Überall auf Lemmy und super aktiv auf r/Place 🌈🇩🇪🍞🐘🚒🚄🌭
What co2 emissions does a train produce per passenger km? Compared to a car? That’s also only when you don’t have an electrified line. Electrification is more doable than one might think.
Example: the trans Siberian railway which traverses a huge and poor area has overhead power.
The future really is to promote Mastodon and Lemmy. I didn’t understand for a long time that you can interact with all instances from any server.
That’s what’s missing in the info that’s commonly available. I seriously thought until recently that each instance is like a phpBB board where you can use a common software (Tapatalk) to interface with different servers, but you meed a separate account for every single instance.
There’s just so much wrong with this article. The whole website seems to be geared towards people who celebrate tech without understanding any if it. I.e.: tech bros.
Which is why I’d expect to see this article quoted on satire groups like: “did silicon valley reinvent the bus again?”.
I’ve been using Vivaldi for a while That’s run by a team of ex Opera Browser engineers.
Maybe doubling down will help . . . Getting this platform to disappear 100%!
Yup. While I have a sceptical opinion of Ubuntu, it did find it sad that it didn’t gain any traction. A possible contender is still Tizen OS. It’s essentially an entire OS build around Chromium, while not owned by Google. Samsung use that a lot in their smart TVs.
Sure, it’s not as performant as running native Android.
But boy have we seen some massive improvements in browser tech and performance increases on mobile devices. Developing web-applications is certainly a ton easier than native Android and IOS. Wrapper toolchains like React Native aren’t helping much.
Unless you really need calls to some device APIs, there isn’t too much left that a Browser can’t do compared to what the native OS permits. I’ve been developing web-apps for robots and also developed equivalent native apps in Android. In the browser you now have access to some impressive 3d capabilities, which are extending further (BabylonJS). You’ve got the ability to interact with files via tool-chains that are not too dissimilar to what you see in native Android (Google has been clamping down file-system access to app devs quite heavily in recent releases). You can also gain decent API access to the devices battery and GPS status. Add some nifty UI libraries and you can provide a more pleasant experience, faster than with an actual native app. Even video streaming works remarkably well since you can interact with multiple cameras, microphones and even the screen (Google Meet does that).
It’s now that we’re seeing PWAs (progressive web app) to gain traction. I’m using Voyager for Lemmy, which works lovely in Windows and my phone.
In the browser you only miss on some native capabilities on some hardware component and a few legacy systems. Mainly serial communication and native UDP support. Although the last one will see some more improvements with HTTP3, which is gaining traction.
Activision is big enough. Microsoft is big enough.
We need less mega-corporations, not more. Competition fuels innovation.
Reading through the comments, almost everyone missed the elephant in the room. The big problem with long term support is not on the phone or chip manufacturers.
…::: It’s GOOGLE! :::… Just compare the history of Android with Windows. Windows 10 is still supported for another 2 years, yet it was released in mid 2015. Every Windows 10 capable device is still receiving updates till then.
Contrast that with Android. Android 6.0 came out in October 2015. Yet very few devices from that era are supportable today. Why? A large part of that is based on Google’s never ending -> breaking changes <- and random new requirements that make older devices incompatible.
This got me personally when I bought a Sony Z3 with the intention of having a “future proof” phone. It was openly advertised as being a dev device for Android 7, so much so that a preview release was downloadable for it.
Only for Google to drop a new requirement for the GPU to have minimum OpenGL ES 3.1, while the GPU only had the instructions for 3.0. WTF?! I might add, the specification for 3.1 was only released to the public 2 years prior.
I seriously hope that some alternative to Android will establish itself again. We had Windows phone, which Microsoft utterly butchered. IOS is not an alternative as that’s tied to one manufacturer.
