The crispy aliasing of the audio has always felt cozy to me. It’s also a bit of a signature of the system, like the wobbly polygons on PS1. I appreciate that there are ways to change the sound, but it feels a bit rude to label it broken or defective.

It would be interesting to show the effect of the feature in a video. I can appreciate the theory, but a video would sell it better.

Boyscouting works because you don’t need to get permission to fix tech debt when it is bundled with something else. 98% of those tickets you file to fix warts will never be addressed because the business demands that time is spent on features that make money.

Wholeheartedly agree. This issue comes up in job interviews and forces people into faking confidence in spite of not knowing. Honest people be damned if they give the impression of anything less than absolute confidence.

Just an anecdote, but the Arc A380 on my kids’ Fedora gaming PC has run everything on our Steam library just fine. A mix of older and more recent titles. I’m sure there are games that don’t work well, but it was cheap and it’s been rock solid.

I might be a minority here, but I don't really consider the Android OS a feature I want. As a Remarkable 2 owner, I've come to really appreciate the long battery life and purpose built OS. There are no "app" distractions, and it has become an essential part of my daily work flow for note taking and e-book reading.

I wish Daylight success, but at their price, its not a compelling offer for me.

I had to do a double take regarding the single click "issue" because later in the article it is mentioned that scroll bar behavior was changed to accommodate users with RSI.

So what is it KDE? Do you care about RSI or not? I'm no longer a young person anymore, and appreciate any features to prevent RSI. I think its silly to relent on the single click due to "new user pressure".

At least there is still an option for it, I suppose.

This is a great use of the format. I love to see novel uses of existing technologies.

Hard pass for me due to the electron based client.

This is great! I always felt like cut was really handicapped by lack of negative indexes.

Is it so far fetched that there are people, especially in groups, who act in extreme ways? I’m sure they are saying exactly “ We cannot let them have freedom, we must control everything they do”, because it is optimum for them to do so.

I never understood how some people seem to not know that Lenovo and IBM are not the same company. When Lenovo, a completely different company, bought the rights to manufacture IBM products in 2005, the Think* brand was no longer IBM. The author states, eventually, his point being that Lenovo lost it’s mojo, but it never had any. The Thinkpads people remember with mojo were the IBM ones, and some Lenovo branded ones after the handoff, but that’s really just residual “mojo” from the old teams and processes. Lenovo was never good, and really isn’t now, and has a long record of bad behavior.

Download the videos and share with Plex. With the Apple TV app, it is as easy to use as Netflix. There is a lot of great content on YouTube. Honestly it is a shame that it’s not safe to leave it running unsupervised.
