Do you like connect it to TV/Monitor and use it that way with mouse and keyboard? I don’t think it would make sense to use it otherwise unless you have an Android tablet.

Or if you just do that for fun I guess.

Seems about right for Android 8.1.

Tildes. And maybe Hacker News.

Jokes aside, when I run few Electron apps and Windows 11 VM, my Debian setup struggles. I might need to finally upgrade to 32 GB of RAM because of that, lol. Well, or at least 24 GB, I don’t have much money right now, lol.

That’s hardly a bad thing unless you can’t use the most common way (e.g. paying by credit/debit card) in shops.

There was only one time when Microsoft cared about having consistent UI and even did a lot of research on how to make operating system easier for people that didn’t use computers before. It was when they developed Windows 95.

I see that Fedora uses Btrfs, so it should be able to take file system snapshots, which are sort of an alternative to the immutable thing, isn’t it?

What does that even mean? Did they integrate Gemini to all their core products?

That said, I use Gemini occasionally, and it seems useful to me, although I still take the information it generates with caution, and I prefer to read documentation for whatever I want to do, because I don’t want to blindly follow what LLM’s generate (that’s just asking for problems).

There’s a reason why modern browsers have multiple processes. Each tab and extension is sandboxed for stability and security reasons. There are also memory mechanisms that free up memory when other non-browser processes need it, but I am not an operating system expert/engineer so I am unable to explain it in details. Google Gemini it up.

Also Firefox tends to use similar amount of RAM as Chrome, and it’s silly that it’s only Chrome is being making fun of for that.

Of course it doesn’t meant that modern web is fucking shit, but you cannot only blame modern browsers for that. It’s just mostly bloated JavaScript bullshit.

By the way, I wish there was some alternative to modern Web which works like basic HTML + CSS, maybe even without using two languages for two different things (website content and stylesheet). If we had this, we could even have lightweight Markdown/WikiText/You_name_it viewer if exported to that format on the fly (by an app not JS).

I was always wondering why there’s no real audio-based interface for blind people, instead of trying to describe what’s on the screen. Have this ever been tried out?

Programming for accessibility is one of these things that I always fascinated me, and it makes me sad that support for it no longer matters for a lot of software developers. Maybe it’s something I am going to try to do? Is there any documentation where to start with that?

Huh, that’s a pretty good idea. I already have a Raspberry Pi setup at home, and it wouldn’t be hard to duplicate in other location.

I don’t 🙃

Why not make Ubuntu a GNU/ Redox distribution at that point?

Dude (Dudess?). You are so young. This doesn’t matter in a long run.

I really wish they had easier way to switch to newer version. It works for me, since it’s not that hard to edit sources.list (or debian.sources nowadays), but I don’t get why they don’t make a tool that does a release upgrade like on Ubuntu. Could even list changes made to the sources file during execution for that matter.

I’ve switched to Linux because at this point it’s easier to deal with problems on Linux than using Windows and getting it to usable state.

And if something doesn’t run on Linux… I use something else, easy as that.

I remember having 10 inch netbook. It was okay for a while, but I would never want to go back to 10 inch display on a laptop. It’s just horrible to use. 13 inches is ideal for me =)

I have never used Limewire, but if they had distributed binaries that you should pay for, it is a copyright infringement, even if you could technically compile it yourself. There are applications that do this and it’s compatible with GPL license.

Then I don’t know what are you smoking. From the taskbar, window decorations to system settings - it’s very similar to how Windows 10 is designed, although with much less padding (by default, but it’s a good thing).

There are also some settings for the taskbar to behave more like a Windows 11 one, if that’s what you want.

Also as for icons they look much more modern than what’s on Windows, at least for me.
