Computers still look like that if you try hard enough.

Agreed, it's such a poor summary of the article that I can't tell if it's an intentional strawman argument.

everett ,

I agree with this, but in open source there's an extra layer of complexity: the "I don't care about market share" dev attitude that's sometimes admirable and sometimes frustrating.

Ah yes, the developers' dumping ground. App menus bad, five miscellaneous buttons (and also a menu) good and m i n i m a l.

Same deal here, with years of Xfce and MATE in between. (And a couple of months of GNOME 3, so I could know for sure it wasn't for me.)

I mean, this sounds like a joke that went over everybody's heads.

Nah, it's these three.

Sharper text for reading more comfortably, and viewing photos at nearly full resolution. You don't have to discern individual pixels to benefit from either of these. And stuff you wouldn't think of, like small thumbnails and icons can actually show some detail.

Not for everyone, but if "collection of perl scripts" sounds like your jam, GnuPod still works for a CLI option.

This door is already open, as GPS location is easily faked. Android, for example, has an easily-accessed developer setting for manually specifying a device location.

I was given a sous vide machine as a gift, only a power button on the device and no way to control it outside of an Android/iOS app over Bluetooth or WiFi. Not something I'd ever buy for myself thanks to the lack of manual controls (even though the experience of using the app is honestly very nice), but I've been preparing myself for the day it just stops working.

Windows doesn't have sudo, Windows has a thing they're calling sudo.

I don't understand what you're trying to say here. (I wasn't the one who downvoted you, by the way.)

Ubuntu used to be naked people!

everett ,

Sorry, that was the best link I could find at that moment. Since the word "ubuntu" means something like "humanity towards others," Canonical really leaned into that concept with their tagline "Linux for human beings" in the early days. This involved shipping some controversial wallpaper images and using less risque shots from the same photo shoot on things like the CD-ROM cover.

Thoughts on BOOX Tab Ultra C? (shop.boox.com)

Does anyone here have a BOOX e-paper tablet? I'm a big fan of e-paper devices—I love my Pebble smartwatch, Kindle Paperwhite, and Light Phone II. I've been eyeing the Tab Ultra C for quite a while, and I am considering the pros and cons. Mostly, I intend to use it for browsing the web and maybe some light note taking and...

The color screen of e-readers is too dark for me and substantially lacks contrast. It's very noticable. The layer for pen recognition already makes the screen darker, but the color display is adding a lot more to the darkness and lack of contrast.

There were a handful of reasons I returned mine, but this was the biggest one. Color eink isn't ready yet, and the limited color palette wasn't even the worst part... it was the dark screen. Needing to use the backlight so often is just disappointing, and turning it on negates all the good stuff about eink, making you feel like you're using a really shitty tablet. Maybe things will be better in a generation or two, but if you need color you might as well get a conventional tablet.

Mark the spam as spam.

everett , (edited )

Unsubscribing is the polite option, but this obviously isn't what you signed up for. I wouldn't unsubscribe, just mark as spam. If enough people do and they start having deliverability issues of important emails, maybe they'll change their ways... but probably they won't.

edit: They're probably not sophisticated enough to have separate lists, so you may have unsubscribed from everything, at least if you mark as spam you can find their important emails in your junk folder.

You don't have to look at the car's main media screen. A simplified list UI is replicated onto a small window that temporarily shows up next to the speedometer.

I approve of the original version.

The vast majority of people have no idea who he is. That doesn't make them stupid.

The meme, which wasn't well-written, is suggesting that the cost savings of switching to Linux isn't significant to most people. It's saying

Most people

  • don't care enough
  • have enough money

rather than

Most people don't

  • care enough
