Godot is going to see a massive migration, I can already feel it. No huge company behind it, waiting to do a rugpull.

i hate that it's very often like this
BlendOS Will let you install virtually any package format through containerization, but it shows up just as if it was a native app. It's pretty neat to see and I hope more distros adopt this

I feel like I'm missing out on what "HURD" is, I'm ready for the downvotes lol

Same as previous models, it's an antenna gap (for mmWave I believe)

You can scrub shorts on mobile (might have to pause it first), but not desktop for some reason...

“Starting at” is the Biggest Lie in Tech (RAM and storage upgrade costs)
I agree. If you want super fast storage, totally fine! Just don't remove the option to expand later.

China-based Supply Chain Cyberattacks Hit Thousands of Android Devices
To be fair, you should always think twice about devices like that. At the very least, put them on their own VLAN, or at least have Pi-Hole running

The fall isn't really the issue, you would probably be injured but not dead. That is, unless traffic is moving at 70 mph beneath you, in which case you're almost guaranteed to not only immediately die, but forever traumatize potentially dozens of drivers. I would say the value of stopping traffic is pretty high, and the trucks probably stopped before the police were ever even called if I had to guess Edit: clarity

Why are batteries in phones always measured in mAh instead of Wh like for example notebooks?
Reply in thread
I don't find that to be a particularly compelling argument though. If you go to buy a lead acid battery for solar usage, for example, they give you the capacity based on a 20-hour discharge (or, 1/20th C rate). The same could absolutely be done for primary batteries

macOS Sonoma Launching This Week With These New Features

Admittedly, NixOS fixes this with a single config file that can rebuild your system in minutes, then the built-in backup tool can restore your files. So yes, absolutely. That being said, that's limited to a few declarative distros

Should I buy a Pixel or a Samsung?
Reply in thread
I would also suggest looking into GrapheneOS if you're looking for something new. I've been running it for 6 months on my pixel 6, and I have really enjoyed it. Apps just work, you can still use Google Play services in a sandbox, it's smooth and gets good battery life. The only downside that I have run across is the lack of Android auto support, but everything else just works

in Australia, when we pay taxes, we get a receipt. The receipt shows what our taxes were spent on

I mean sadly you're right - people like to hate on our defense spending in the US, but who does the world look towards when Russia invades Ukraine? It sucks that it needs to be this way, but if we don't have a strong deterrent to other countries then we're just asking for problems. Look at how aggressive China and Russia have gotten recently, with China inching closer to an invasion of Taiwan. Who's going to be laughing when the US is there to help Taiwan?

[RANT] I pay $70/mo for this privilege
I'm lucky - I'm in a Midwest town as well (between 1500 to 3000 people) in the US. A couple of years ago, fiber got installed. I'm getting about 900Mbps down and 99 up, no data cap, for $84/month. Before that I also had Mediacom, and the data cap was infuriating. So glad I could switch!

This is understandable, I still have a Win10 install on a separate disk in case I want to run VR on my Oculus CV1. Otherwise it's all Linux babyyyy
