  • Is it bad that I'm not graduating on time?

    Jump

  • Some people graduate in 3 years, some in 4, some in 5+. It really is different for everyone. Unless it is exceedingly financially difficult to afford these two additional classes, you’ll probably be okay.

  • Do any of you guys own a blog?

  • M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location

    Jump

  • I should have clarified that I was referring to “Restart” rather than “Shut Down” because I’m not aware of how frequently people actually “Shut Down” their devices. My intention was to ask: How often would you need to physically press the power button when the functionality of turning the device on and off is accessible through software?

    On another note, I think the amount of attention posts like this get is a pretty clear indication of how deep Apple hate truly runs. I'm fine with Apple, more of a Linux person myself, but stuff like this makes me shrug my shoulders. Only Apple could garner this much attention for putting the power button in a weird spot on a tiny desktop that nobody complaining about it would buy even if it was on top of the device.

  • Unless your computer has issues, can’t you just power off from within macOS?

  • Using a Firefox fork makes any difference?

  • JPEG XL support in Waterfox is nice.

  • iPhone 16 is here, but I’m hyped for just one reason: RCS on iOS 18

    Jump

  • The fact that iPhones are getting this before Android phones without Google Play Services tells you all you need to know about the nature of RCS. Android has lost all of its intrigue and fun in favor of becoming GoogleOS

  • What file systems are you using on your devices and why?

    Jump

  • Filesystem compression is dope.

  • Royalty-free blanket patent licensing is compatible with Free Software and should be considered the same as being unpatented. Even if it's conditioned on a grant of reciprocality. It's only when patent holders start demanding money (or worse, withholding licenses altogether) that it becomes a problem

  • JPEG-XL is in no way patent encumbered. Neither is AVIF. I don't know what you're talking about

  • JPEG is Dying - And that's a bad thing | 2kliksphilip

    Jump

  • No, there aren't any licensing issues with JPEG-XL.

  • Unless you count android at least

    Jump

  • YouTube serves VP9 video (and more recently a lot of AV1) and I think the Pis only have hardware accelerated decoding of H.264/5 as it stands today

  • I got average monthly ratings for games on Wine AppDB, and seems like something happened in 2016.

  • Minecraft is arguably & measurably more performant on Linux, full stop. Anything using OpenGL performs better on Linux, check any Minecraft benchmark online.

  • What life hack is so simple yet so effective, you're shocked more people don't know about it?

  • Also, a lot of towns/cities remove those romantic locks regularly anyway.

  • It is a modern successor to formats like WebP & JPEG. WebP was barely competitive with JPEG

  • iPhone users, what's stopping you from switching to Android?

    Jump

  • As an Android user, I'm considering switching to iPhone due to how much worse the Android experience is becoming without Google Play Services. I'm using a custom ROM with microG, which potentially means no RCS since it is only available through Google Messages which doesn't work with microG.

    As much as it would suck jumping ship, at the very least, Apple is still a consumer hardware company first & foremost while Google will always be an ads company. Android exists to that end & that end alone.
