I don't think it's a popular opinion among people who actually use Linux. But I did hear it as an argument against using Linux or an attempt at explanation why it's not more popular.
I'm all for reducing your phone usage and "living in the moment" but taking photos is actually something I try to do more recently, not less. Obviously, I'm not watching events through the phone screen while filming them, but if something worth remembering happens I will quickly snap a picture first (double press the power button, single press the volume button, done), and then put the phone away and enjoy it.
I realized that going through old photos actually brings me a lot of joy and often reminds me of moments I had completely forgotten. And mind you, I'm only approaching 30, I can only imagine this will be even more important when I'm older.
So yeah, I disagree with this one, but of course I realize this will be different for different people.
They did! I'm on GrapheneOS now. I postponed the switch for over a year and the sideloading news convinced me to do it on the first free weekend. I'm very glad I did it.
Just wanna say that plantuml exists. Despite its name it can be used for more than just UML. I know nothing about D2 though (yet) so can't tell how they compare.
It's not that simple and transparent actually. Wikipedia doesn't really need those donations to operate. They have money reserves for many years of expenses. I don't have a great source right now but this article looks decent. I didn't read the whole thing though.
For me it makes the text MUCH harder to read. Basically, instead of just quickly "scanning" the text I need to stop and consciously decipher words with this character.
When I read words I know I don't read them letter by letter, I just recognize the entire "shape" instantly. The thorn throws this mechanism off completely for me.
That's true and a bit of a bummer but I think those videos are still great. I don't care that much who makes them as long as the quality is good.
