Really waiting for someone to make the Fairphone of smart watches…

When I was a child I actually learnt quite a bit about my computer by reading all the settings of Windows XP and customizing them.

I hope this doesn’t prevent someone from the next generation to do the same thing…

Come wearing sandals without socks, fight the system ! Refuse to conform.

We have micronised Zinc now, which blocks the sun exactly as well, but doesn’t make you look like V for Vendetta !

Cool ! I can’t wait to not eat them because they’re still processed food 😂

Seriously though, real cool news for people who are vegan for the animals but less so for their health (even if this is a lot less bad for your health than dairy cheese).

Taking garbage collection to a whole new level !

66.6% of all traffic is blocked with no functional impact on anything that I do

Okay. I’m convinced.

I’ll always remember when I accidentally bent a CPU pin and had to manually straighten it with pliers… it was terrifying 😭 (but that CPU is still working perfectly in my computer 7 years later !)

I just checked, it boots in .5 seconds on my Steam Deck. So yeah, there’s a problem somewhere 😅

I agree with the general sentiment, though KDE’s apps do have some real performance issues.

Dolphin sometimes takes 2-5 seconds to open on my gaming PC, whereas Nautilus (Gnome Files) is usually done before I’ve even let go of the click.

Maybe that’s just preloading, but it makes a bloody enormous difference in everyday usage.

I prefer Plasma overall, though.

Is the hypothesis that Windows being constantly broken forces you to learn how to fix it ? Because that’s kinda what happened to me 😆

I’ve been insulted by web developers for saying this before : “If your website doesn’t work on Firefox, your website doesn’t work”

That’s pretty cool !

If I had to do this myself, I would probably choose NixOS, so that I could write up a config on one of the PCs, and the deploy the exact same thing on every single one and be certain the build is perfectly reproduced.

Though I’m sure there are similar tools for other distros, but that’s what I know.
