As much as I like Firefox/Librewolf, Vivaldi still has the upper hand in UI/UX. Workspaces, more feature-rich sidebar, one-click access to recently closed tabs right there in the tab bar, speed dial, tab stacks and other QoL stuff that makes just enough difference for me that I can’t really daily-drive any other browsers. Until FF reaches feature parity (it’s getting close, but still isn’t quite there yet) I don’t see myself migrating anytime soon. Quess I’ll just need to rely more on AdGuard DNS and Vivaldi’s built-in adblocker if uBlock becomes neutered on Chromium…

0·5 months agoWindows 11 is easier on the eyes and easier to use. We took the best elements of Windows 10 and refined them to create a soothing place to work and play.
Nah, no, hiding basic stuff behind bazillion clicks in nested menus deeper than hell is not “easier to use”.
Wake on approach. Lock on leave.
Windows 11 can automatically wake up when you approach and lock when you leave.
Why would I want that on a desktop that needs to do work even when I’m AFK? My PC doesn’t even have a password on it—because if a stranger gets access to it, something has already gone horribly wrong and a burglar seeing my furry pics is the least of my problems🤪
3D spatial sound
This technology makes it possible for you to perceive the sources of sound in games. 3 It requires compatible headphones and is available on both Windows 10 and 11.
I don’t use headphones and I already have a bangin’ good surround sound setup with 18" sub and tactile transducers.
Smart App Control
Exclusive to Windows 11 is Smart App Control. It provides a layer of security by only permitting apps with good reputations to be installed. Only available on the latest version of Windows 11.
Why the fuck would I want that? I and only I get to decide what programs have the priviledge of getting installed and what don’t. I bet M$ will deny “good reputation” to harmless code injection mods for games (SKSE/OBSE et al, ENB) because these are basically hacking while allowing data-stealing privacy nightmares like Discord app.
KDE Connect is awesome. And completely cross-platform, and FOSS.

Yeah, you need a DNA test to ID someone who’s gone through a turbofan. I’ve seen pics of an aftemath of such incident. You can’t even tell the species from remains that have the consistency of tomato juice.

Oh, who am I kidding, human cops do exactly the same shit…
0·5 months agoElder Scroll series. Skyrim for the modding and eyecandy potential, Oblivion for the madness that is spellcrafting (also Shivering Isles is the best ES DLC), Morrowind for the true alien fantasy.
Thief II is the quintessential first-person sneaker.
Independence War II still has one of the best flight models and a great story.X3: Terran Conflict is the best first-person strategy game.
Half-Life 1 and 2.
Il-2: Great Battles is the best WWII combat flight sim.
DCS is the best jet combat sim.Elite: Dangerous is the only space sim with actual 1:1 scale galaxy, including many real-life stars and is the best life-in-space simulator with flight model as good as I-War 2 and decent enough on-foot parts (even though there is some jank and glitches).
Just for kicks entered the same thing to Brave search and it’s AI seems to give a much saner answer. Google search is an absolute joke these days.
He literally is having a blast in all of his videos🙂
At this point there’s just a few pieces of software that keep me on Microshitty’s teat. Foobar2000 being the biggest one—there simply ain’t no good alternative for Linux, and I’ve tried them all. Freesurround, actual dB scale volume control via Jscript, waveform seekbar, precision spectrum analyzers, modtracker player are just some of the essential plugins, as is ASIO (in addition of bypassing all OS audio stack shenanigans it has the accidental benefit of not only auto-muting , but also auto-stopping auto-playing videos on websites that might slip through uBlock).
Also, Paint.net is so good for converting .dds files. Never got .dds to work properly with Gimp.
That’s a very silly morals indeed.
But on the instructions of Judge Chris Hehir they were restricted in the evidence they could bring regarding their motivation for taking part in the protest and mentions of the climate crisis, and told they could not mount a defence of justification.
Kangaroo court.
Nice! Too bad they got caught, though.
No sympathy for cryptobros and trading bots.
0·6 months agoYeah, sorry, no. Even if I had the space, when I get home from work at 1900 the last thing I want to do is more work. It’s not like you can just plop some seeds into soil and do nothing until the harvest is ripe—I know, we had a decent family garden when I was a wee lad. Took a lot of work to keep it going.
If I worked 4 or even 6 hours a day—sure, I could add some homework to my day. But not when working 8 hours+commuting. And many people are working even longer days.
They’re not jets. They’re ducted fans. Different things. “Electric jet” makes as much sense as “electric V8 engine”.
Velcro, or maybe Van Der Waals force, or maybe whatever the hell makes gauge blocks stick to each other.
Seems like that Jamaican town has some…
…serious beef with that musician😎
YEEEAAH!!!
Downvotes shall list better headphones.
Moondrop, Truthear, 7Hz.
And from the old guard Shure, Ultimate Ears, Westone.
How does one find out what chips are in what USB sticks? Manufacturers don’t make this information available. At best you just find read and write speeds, usually just the max possible read speed and nothing else.
