  • Not completely though. A while ago I've had a wave of these comments on a 3 year old post of mine. They got deleted after I've reported them at least, though I don't know if that action was done by a mod of the subreddit or site-wide admin.

  • Same. Not being able to move the taskbar, alongside all the other downgrades to it and the start menu is what got me to check out Linux as a desktop OS for real, and not just out of curiosity. So far, I don't see going back.

    And I was even one of the few dozen people who loved Win8. At least there the points that got criticized were due to sweeping and bold changes. Win11 on the other hand feels like the same as 10 but with arbitrary features removed in the core part of the OS.

  • Not to mention that most sites will put their main content into a container with a limited width anyway, since overly long lines are awful to read. So unless you're using the browser side-by-side with other content on a low-res monitor it's a net benefit. And even if it's not I usually find the extra vertical space to be worth more, as you said.

  • Personally, these services are all a bit sketchy anyway. Mostly because they advertise themselves as the magic bullet to remove all your unwanted personal data from the internet, but ignores that this removal relies on the cooperation of the third parties in possession of your data. Most notably, this won't work if your data has been exposed in a data breach.

    To me it very much feels like VPN ads. Technically a working product, but advertised in a very dishonest way.

  • This particular issue was caused by a breaking change in Plasma 6 and bad handling in a specific global theme.

    The general security concerns that were being brought to light however apply to all versions.

  • I just got the (first) completionist achievement after 60 hours plus however many I spent on the demo. I might try a few of the challenges and try to win with the final stake at least once, but after that I think I'm done.

    It's an absolutely amazing game and has secured its place in my deck building hall of fame beside Slay the Spire and Wildfrost.

  • I've been really looking forward to this one since watching the first short clips. Also helps that Pseudoregalia really got me into the mood for some more Metroidvanias recently.

  • Most games are great because they provide something unique or are polished to perfection, so it's wild that they've made something that manages to be both their first attempt. Really looking forward to whatever they decide to do next.

  • Huh, when I first checked out Hyprland under 535 drivers, it was barely working under Wayland, whereas Gnome and KDE worked at least decently well. Might have to check it out again now that some time has passed, although I still hope that the next beta driver will finally fix most things.

  • I wish that were the case. It's obviously not a thing at all in Gnome (yet), but from my experience and what others are reporting, VRR is also pretty broken on KDE Wayland for NVIDIA GPUs. It works fine 90% of the time, but at certain loads it starts rendering frames out of order. As far as I can gather this won't change until there's proper esync support across the whole render chain for NVIDIA, starting with the drivers.

  • Good idea. If we do this and also add some sort of positive label on devices that work locally and are interoperable it might start a positive feedback loop: More people become aware of the issue or simply want the device with the better label when choosing in a store, leading to more manufacturers producing more devices that aren't cloud-dependent.

    Right now I often see the opposite happening: Manufacturers who don't even put on their packaging that their system is really just Zigbee under the hood for example.

  • I think the first one can be circumvented by just using a DP->HDMI adapter. But yeah, those other points are why I'm a bit hesitant about swapping to AMD myself.

  • Or you might want to use G-Sync or other forms of VRR on a multimonitor setup, which you can't do under X11 and is broken on Wayland.

  • It simplified cleaning a lot when all you have to clean is a single large pane of glass

    Alternatively, a combined oven+stove unit where the knobs are on the front panel and can be pushed in when not in use. That way you have a single pane of glass and knobs that aren't an annoyance when cleaning.

  • Although a good guess, this looks more like the work of someone who's in way over their head and barely knows how to use git. Probably just downloaded the repo as a zip instead of cloning it through git. At least that's the vibe I get from their commit history and other repos.

    So basically, this person did the right thing on accident.

  • Someone already explained it, but here's a ranking of the different methods which are commonly used in terms of security, from bad to good:

    • No 2FA
    • SMS/Phone-based TOTP (TOTP = the normally 6 digit code)
    • App-based TOTP
    • Hardware-token-based TOTP
    • Hardware-token (Fido2/WebAuthn/Passkeys)
  • I was going to recommend chairs like these as well. Super comfortable, doesn't really get dirty, doesn't get hot in the summer and can be outfitted with a blanket in the winter. Usually not too expensive either.

  • Yup. I obviously don't hate the people doing this, quite the opposite if anything, but it's so silly that it's a thing in the first place.

  • Played it a bit so far and the controls are really unique. Definitely needs a lot of learning to get somewhat competent, but also very powerful when mastered. I'd be surprised if this isn't going to become my favorite platformer of the year.

    That said, the tutorial level (1-0) feels rushed. Very confusing pacing and camera transitions as well as bad audio mixing. Thankfully I haven't seen any of those issues again in any of the proper stages.

  • It seems to me like you're comparing the costs for building one at the most out there location possible. Putting the questions aside if building anything in such locations would ever be profitable enough for something to be build, or if fast-charging is absolutely necessary: This absolutely isn't true for the majority/average location, where your solution is the one that prohibitively expensive, not to mention that a good chunk of people wouldn't even need a charging station at all when they can charge at home, maybe even using the solar panels already on their roof.

    There may be some limited space for hydrogen ICE cars on the market, but it won't be the solution that'll see widespread adoption and support by car manufacturers as long as there's a much cheaper and comfortable solution for 99.9% of people on earth (number made up).

    Though if anything, I predict that specialized EVs with swappable batteries (which already exist) that can then be charged slowly with solar will become viable as they're much cheaper and efficient in those areas.
