  • The 95% who don't trust the 5% who do. If there is a backdoor in open source projects it gets known very quickly.

    Apart from that, open source projects usually are not for profit, they have no reason to add random unneeded data collection features for example.

  • Could they please explain why a laptop should not be able to scale content on third party monitors without lowering resolution? Why it shouldn't be able to connect to more than one monitor? Why we can't have a toggle for (insert random unneeded feature here, like only minimizing programs when clicking on the red x button that should close them). Why their tablets and phones aren't able to send things via Bluetooth? Etc.

  • Witcher 3. The story is insanely good, just remember: your decisions matter (but don't look anything up).

    Some people say it's hard to get into it and to be fair it is a bit complicated first but you don't have to use all mechanics, and it's well worth getting into it.

    It just got an official mod creator (yes, that game from... 2015? (graphics from 2022 since there was a huge graphics update) still got a new update in 2024) and the community still is strong so it'll get even better over the next years.

  • The previous systems also worked fine in other parts of the world, but pretty much every country came to the conclusion that it's simply smart to switch to the metric system, giving up their own with seemingly random conversions.

  • I think we can agree that the freezing point is super important when it comes to the weather.

    So where would you place the second mark (you have to define two spots) so it "makes sense for the weather" (I don't see how it makes less sense for the weather than Fahrenheit, at least Celsius tells you if it'll snow or not while Fahrenheit tells you nothing) while still making sure that it can easily be recreated?

  • Just give me a performance slider so I can slow my phone down myself when I need it.

    Anyway I have an android, battery lasts 2-3 days with normal usage (like 3h SoT per day for 3 days usage) so I don't think I'll have to worry about battery - and batteries are getting better with every new model, we'll eventually reach a point where they're a non-issue

  • The fixed points (for 0 and 100) are much more logical though and can be used to accurately recreate the scale anywhere (well.. it'll be slightly off on higher altitude since boiling temperature changes but it's still not far off).

    0°C = water freezes (= it's snowing)

    100°C = water boils

    meanwhile:

    0°F = the coldest night Mr Fahrenheit experienced, thinking it couldn't get any colder than that

    100°F = Mr Fahrenheit's own body temperature (he had a slight fever apparently)

    How would you recreate that??

  • No, just download Raspbian (Debian for RaPi) or any other popular distribution on your main computer and copy it to your RaPi's SD card. Oh and if your mouse "lags" - you can increase your mouse refresh rate in settings.

    Also while the setup obviously works and does its job (and is really fun to use) it's probably not better than a laptop. It's more of a thing you use because you can...

    ...anyway, if you already have some of the parts it's the cheapest you can get, and it is just as practical as a laptop. I already had a pi4 with case, a keyboard and a mouse, so only was missing a portable monitor and a powerbank (but buying a powerbank never is a bad idea anyway).
