Try being over 30 sitting at a desk your while life and then try and use a 13” screen. Eye strain is a huge deal.

My opinion on this changed drastically when I started interacting with people outside of tech and not my own age. A device you struggle to see is miserable.

Thanks for this! I'd been following several other attempts and making HLS/transcoding servers but they had all pretty much given up before making something real. Kyoo looks great, and awesome post. Can't wait to hear more about your adventures.

It is always funny to Me when Apple zealots come into threads blaming everyone but Apple that software broke. Complaining Java doesn’t follow Apple standards or some crap. Then 9 days later Apple issues a fix because they did indeed break it.

If you do not want to use key combinations all the time, and just want real quotes always.

macOS latest: Settings -> Keyboard -> Text Input area, hit edit next to input sources "use smart quotes and dashes", you can turn it off or choose which quotes you want to use.

previous macOS: Settings -> Keyboard -> Look around in here, there is a smart quotes & dashes or Replacements area you can choose the real quote characters.

That would be pretty anti-competitive of them given they would have to unblock their own ads to make money

I like my framework and the 2 mini pc made from upgrading the internals. The slots are pass through thunderbolt 4 just like laptops with only USB’s ports. Not sure why they offended you. Get 4 usbc inserts and pretend they aren’t changeable if that’ll calm you down. Battery life does suck though I’ll give you that. It’s good overall at the cost though

If they would lower their prices to be competitive they’d get a lot more cash. We tried to switch to Gitlab and at every turn they acted like We just weren’t worth the $$. Seems they want nothing but big enterprise accounts and they push everyone else to free

Scrolling would require the presenter to constantly reference a screen He/She/They may not be able to see.

tebruno99 — Fri, 30 Sep 2022 15:47:09 +0000

I thought google announced a long time ago that Stadia was a failure and they were taking it enterprise only or something. This post doesn’t make a lot of sense to Me, I’ve not talked to anyone who thought Stadia was still an active consumer product

You don’t have to use the sdk install and probably don’t want to if You’re developing Qt OSS software. Target the distribution or build it Yourself. https://wiki.qt.io/Get_the_Source

tebruno99 — Thu, 28 Apr 2022 20:22:35 +0000

I understood that it cost Gnome $150k for Gnome to settle and obtain their own exclusive right of usage instead of doing the right thing and fight the patent.

tebruno99 — Fri, 22 Apr 2022 04:24:39 +0000

No one has sold me out in the 2 years. I think they know and scan for it before sales.

tebruno99 — Thu, 14 Apr 2022 18:26:42 +0000

Gnome developers actively discourage fixing things yourself even though they often use that as a reply to bug reports. Fixes are often rejected as "not bugs" so most just give up and move on.

Sounds cool. If they can fund it & have fun doing it could be neat.

All desktops started at Zero and competition will drive others to stay ahead or fall behind
