Very minor anecdata I would like to share: I have discovered Veritasium like most others, at the time when they weren't "clickbaiting", when their videos actually had the thing that they discussed right there in the title. I learned tons of things. Each new video, and each title, made me eager to discover that thing.

But around the time they implemented their "clickbait" titles and thumbnails, it had the opposite effect on me. They all just *seemed* like so many other videos: bland and tasteless. The content itself hasn't much changed, but the allure certain has diminished for me. I've stopped watching their videos.

Compare that to Curious Droid, or Practical Engineering, which still use descriptive titles, sometimes questions, but always exactly about the subject.

They will apparently (at least) offer new input types such as tag fields. You can find a few references of the pro features in the documentation and guides.

> If I could go on Twitter and only see stuff from people I follow I'd feel the same as you about it. But they make it almost impossible not to be barraged with other stuff too, and not just ads, but hate and insanity that I tried hard not to follow. Those are the things that drove me away.

The only sane way to use Twitter is through a 3rd-party client: no ads, none of that Notifications spam and other recommendations

I understood it like you did. She--the author--even wrote that she had translators for all the languages supported by the app, hence the 50-to-30 chars kerfuffle.

The screen is apparently a 16:10 display, plus approximately 70 (not sure about the number) pixels on top: thusly, when an app goes fullscreen, the OS just blacks out those top pixels and puts the app in the 16:10 area (unless it uses the new API and requests access to these pixels)

Government numbers in France show 80.2% today ("The figure gives the share of the population over the age of 12 that are fully vaccinated (all required doses")

We crossed 60% on July 29, and 70% on August 20

GreenWithEnvy is such a NVIDIA-focused utility

Pipewire (which is being released in mainstream distros since this summer) has mostly/entirely fixed these issues. On my particular end (Arch, for gaming) it's 100% perfect with no latency

Edit: Pipewire is a new system AND a "drop-in" replacement for any of PulseAudio/Alsa/JACK (just add whichever package you want and it will replace that particular audio stack with Pipewire's replacement)

There's a boulevard in my city named after him. According to autocomplete, there's at least six another french cities having such a boulevard.

The big store "Galeries Lafayette" is also named after the street in which the first store was opened.

Also, those are old bridges/columns/whatever. The French are not erecting any new structure bearing his name or symbol.

I remember (barely) from a diver friend that colors disappear below 20 meters (everything appears blue, unless a bright light is shone), and sun light disappears completely below 70 meters. You'd assume that an optical system with flood lights could theoretically work, but then it would be pretty simple to monitor for light at these depths (for counter-intelligence/retaliatory purposes)
