I have to disagree here. I find using Cinnamon is very close to using windows. Everything hardware wise pretty much runs out of the box on all desktops and laptops I have installed it on. Have been using it for years. The one thing I can’t comment on is hdpi. I never owned a high enough resolution screen to have problems with scaling I guess, although I do have a three monitor setup. Immutability might be nice, but I think it’s also personal preference. Windows doesn’t have it so it might be a strange feature to new users coming from Windows.

What if everyone would transfer their PayPal credit to a regular bank account on the same day? Would that bring Paypal value down?

From a purely “vote with your wallet” standpoint it doesn’t make sense, because there’s no money paid. However, one might worry about data/information getting in the hands of a fascist/compromised government. So I think people should judge this themselves case by case.

Crazy idea here: would it be possible to have a model where everyone’s phone is a mini personal instance, syncing with others when the user opens the app? When a phone is offline that phones content would be unavailable too, but that is part of the truly decentralised model.

I agree it feels off, but it’s better than what we have now. Users could allow certain companies’ ads they feel comfortable viewing.

The additional benefit for companies would be that they would have a direct finger on the pulse of the market. If they make a decision and they see a lot of users abandon their ads, it was probably a bad decision.

The obvious downside is that people that can use the money will be under the influence of big corporations more.

Truly fair would be to have corporations pay.the users to allow them to show them advertisements.

No, they’re angry that this game, although it is in the same genre, got no originality or creativity from it’s makers. It’s an almost exact copy.

Don’t comment, don’t upvote or downvote. Use it read only from now. Watch the AI comments shitify the whole site until it’s so bad you’ll want to leave it anyway.

Why are they removing support though?

Friend of mine played enemy territory competitively. They turned the graphics all the way down so grass and smoke didn’t get in the way of their field of vision.

Is it scrcpy?

Shit, I don’t know yet how everything is connected, but I’ve noticed that with the rise of Linux on the desktop, the temperature on earth is rising too! /s

Regarding location for the purpose of determining what language to render the app or website in: the article skips over the fact that users can configure their preferred and fallback languages in the browser. It’s perfectly possible to access that in JavaScript and render the app or website accordingly. You don’t need location information for that. In fact, it totally ignores the fact that some people live (or are visiting) in a region but don’t necessarily speak the language. I find it super annoying when google presents me with suggestions or ads for local businesses when I’m on vacation.

Anything that needs to be configured with YAML, and Kubernetes in particular.

I mean I get the whole Infrastructure as Code hype (although I have never witnessed or heard of a situation where an entire cluster needed to be revived from scratch), but it should be very possible to make a gui that writes the YAML for you.

I don’t want to memorize every possible setting and what it does and if someone makes a typo in the config (or in the white space, as it’s YAML) everything is borked.

Call me old-fashioned but the graphical ui of something like octopus deploy was a thousand times more user friendly imho.
