Oh... You're totally right. I was just able to reproduce this.

Maybe that's the reason I sometimes get a green dot when I am unlocking my phone.

Tyvm for sharing this. IIRC, it's possible to change the camera icon in the lock screen to something else. Since I never use this button (I am one of those weirdos that use the camera control button instead), I think I'll change to something else.

Thank you for sharing this.

I don't have the camera app in my app grid, but sometimes I see the green dot and have no idea what is triggering it. I even disabled the camera permission for all apps and started to turn it on from scratch only for apps I find necessary, but didn't know what was triggering it.

I am not why this logging thingy isn't enabled by default, but I am very happy it's possible to turn it on.

I think the way macOS and Windows loads stuff after login is a bit different though.

Since most macOS installations use FileVault by default, the login screen looks like it loads only stuff related to the login screen and not anything from the OS. Windows on the other hand, seems to load more stuff in the spinning thingy screen that appears before the login screen.

For instance, if you disable Filevault on macOS, the OS seems to load before the login screen, and then when you input your login and password, it loads to the desktop instantly. That would be a better comparison to a Windows machine, I think.

That said, I am not sure if this is how things really works, but that's how it looks like to work for me. Sorry if I spread any misinformation here :)

I don't mean to say your experience isn't real, but that isn't what I encountered at all with my last 12 years "waiting for Ubuntu to get good" (I am quoting myself here).

Every time I tried to install it to test if it was good, something broke for no reason. This happened to me on many PCs and many versions of Ubuntu.

The last time I tried 24.04, the installer crashed in the middle of the installation and I couldn't finish it.

If someone wants to test Ubuntu, I'd say you should try it, but do not get surprised if something very basic seems broken since that's my entire experience with the distro. I'd recommend Fedora instead.

Damn, I wasn't sure if I cared about another postman/insomnia like tool, but I saw the cute dog logo, and it sold the tool to me. Maybe I am just silly, but that got me. Congrats to the team for developing it!

This is so nice! Congrats to the team for the achievement!

To commemorate, I am running `brew install --cask zed` right now! :^)

If you want to check an application that runs on Electron and is quite speedy, try Obsidian.md. I didn't even know performance like that was possible in an Electron app. Unfortunately this example is the exception instead of the norm.

I think I might’ve jumped the gun. The Mullvad website is not working for me, but I think it’s my ISP…

The last update seems to have happened in 2019, unfortunately.

I think they already do. Just like chrome and firefox block sites that are considered insecure.

I don't think they need a VPN for this.

Maybe I'm being a bit naive, but the telemetry is supposed to help the VSCode developers to improve the product, right?

It feels a bit strange when some of us want the benefits of what this telemetry may give (a better product, perhaps?) while not willing to conceive information to improve it.

Maybe it's similar to how ads work. I use an ad blocker, but because I feel ads make the product worse, not better.

I am not sure if my pov makes sense though.

This looks pretty nice! Funny enough it seems to work better on Firefox than Chrome on my computer. I am not sure if that means Firefox is getting nicer or if Chrome is getting worse. I wonder if this is also happening to other users, specially on other OSes (I am using a mac).
