There's `git diff -w`, and most forges expose a setting for that in their diff views.

Just behind the horizon somewhere on the top right, or maybe some of those clouds are already it.

You can see for yourself in Google Maps if you enable the globe view, unfortunately it seems I can't share a direct link.

The resolutions are different, 1920x1280 vs. 5568x3712.

Also possibly different JPEG quality settings.

> it's not easy to add any of them

For most of them there's nothing to add though, you simply publish tools on GitHub/Cargo/etc. and mise will know how to install them.

https://mise.jdx.dev/registry.html#backends has a bit more current info.

What conclusion do you mean? Aqua is just one of the many backends it supports.

For example there's also the GitHub backend which lets you install binaries from releases, no plugin needed at all.

AFAIK it's mostly about stabilizing the RPC API and Lua stdlib:

GDScript has static type hints now, it's still a bit basic but continually getting better.

I think to many people awareness does imply consciousness, i.e. the thing that is aware of the knowledge.

You can use a custom domain with most providers, so when they go dark you can at least migrate to another one.

I feel your pain, but find your idea of "basic" functionality amusing.

That said, `pw-dump` / `pactl` will give you client names, which often match the window titles.

Just checked now: the setting is General & Privacy -> Start Screen Options -> Start with Smart Hub Home.

My Samsung QN90B does that just fine, it's only a few years old. IIRC there's a setting somewhere in the menu to not boot to the home screen. It also doesn't nag me about anything, although I only enable wifi when I want to update.

HDR audio already exists in the form of 24-bit and 32-bit floating point audio (vs. the previous 16-bit CD standard). Volumes are still mapped to the same levels because anything else doesn't make sense, just as SDR content can be mapped to HDR levels to achieve the same levels of brightness (but not the same dynamic range, as with audio).
