which I regarded for how light and well optimized Windows 8.1 was

I don’t think I’m alone in saying “light” and “well-optimized” are not words that fit the Windows 8.1 experience.

Mediocre in almost all aspects is the best descriptor for 8.1 and honestly that’s pretty generous given how bad 8.0 was

I use refind also, there should be a setting somewhere to let refind scan entries from other EFI partitions. I have that setup and just created a second EFI partition for my Linux setup, so that Windows has no idea Linux even exists. I even have everything running off of the same drive (my laptop only has one nvme slot) and I haven’t had any issues.

As far as I can tell from a quick search it seems like it’s closed source.

sigh The search continues, why can’t I just have folders in the app drawer in lawnchair :(

Edit: according to a closed issue on the lawnchair GitHub, app drawer folders have already been in nightly builds for ~6 months, so hopefully it’s in the next beta release.

Doesn’t W3C already maintain the ActivityPub protocol?

Edit: nevermind I misunderstood this

Kitty has multiplexing built in so it can also replace a lot of what tmux does (unless you’re using tmux over ssh)

Probably performance - the Java server takes up a lot of memory and CPU for what it does. The base implementation first started in 2011, so it wasn’t exactly designed to be multithreaded or parallelized because most games were still largely single-threaded at the time. Rewriting it from scratch in a different language probably helps with that

OP mentioned having used Linux for 4 weeks. If they are interested in learning more about Linux, I feel like even Arch would be a better next step.

I love NixOS and have been using it for over a year at this point but sometimes when things don’t work I feel like I’m banging my head against a wall. I’ve been using Linux for ~7 years now.

It’s not magic, it’s adoption rates. I’m not saying the money or resources are useless, but as it is right now, I think more people would benefit from actually trying to use rust in more large-scale projects (like R4L, windows, android, redox, servo, etc.) and using that experience to inform actual language development. I don’t think it makes sense to do a full revamp of the compiler until projects like those are actually proven. In the meantime it makes more sense to allocate funding/dev resources to those projects (or at least the open source ones)

Someone already did that a bit ago with a bunch of fireworks and I think it worked?

revamp Rust to produce lightweight binaries, have a stable compiler and for it to be way quicker in compilation

It really isn’t that simple though. Rust’s compiler isn’t stable because the language itself is still being improved. This type of thing will only improve as adoption increases and real-world problems get ironed out. You can’t just throw money and devs at it and expect the problem to be solved.

It’s also not like the developers don’t care about compile time, but the nature of the language (strict compiler checks which catch things before runtime) will inherently lead to something slower that other languages’ compilers. There are probably still improvements they can make, but it’s not as simple as just deciding to rewrite/revamp it and expecting massive speedups.

Signal is private in that other people can’t intercept your messages, including signal. The signal app is open-source so you can be relatively certain it’s not tracking your decrypted messages, unlike closed-source apps like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger or any other private social media.

Signal is not anonymous from an account standpoint, because you need a phone number to sign up, even if you can choose not to display it in your account.

Dots!

They don’t work for discord in hyprland unfortunately, it only works when I have discord tabbed in (I tried passing the shortcuts in the hyprland config file)

AFAIK kde’s way of doing it is kind of hacky because it was called something like “legacy global keybinds” in settings but I switched off KDE a few months ago so I don’t remember the exact details.

Can we get actually working global keybinds in Wayland next? Or is that a chromium/electron problem?

Me going back to hollow knight, celeste, modded minecraft, and dead cells instead of buying new games

I’ve had a OnePlus 9 Pro since around when it came out in April 2021. Around 6 months later I installed AccuBattery and started trying to keep my phone between 20-80% battery. I still charge it to 100% sometimes, like when I think I won’t have access to a charger or will be out for a while, but generally I stick to it. It is also good to do a full charge (<15% to 100%) once every few weeks because it helps the battery stay calibrated and give accurate percentage readings.

In the 3+ years since then, my phone’s reported battery health has gone from a little over 90% to ~83-85%. I also almost exclusively use the 65w fast charger that came with my phone (I’m impatient) so that might be hurting my battery a bit more also. Here’s the graph of battery health over time that AccuBattery shows me

It really depends on what you’re printing, how strong you need it to be, and/or what axis you don’t mind looking uglier because of layer lines.

In this case OP might have been able to print it on a side with minimal supports, but the idea is that printing it at an angle turns things that would have been overhangs (which are hard for printers to do because of the melted plastic sagging) into upwards slopes. The alternative is adding support material that is intended to snap off (i.e. The block at the bottom of this picture), but those would be hard/impossible to remove in models like OP’s that would have supports inside the holes.

Step 1: Add ads into [insert app of choice here] that are really annoying

Step 2: Make people pay to get rid of them. Bonus points if it’s a subscription

Step 3: People hate your app but it’s the one that’s installed by default so they use it anyway

Step 4: Profit

You also probably want to put the resin printer in a well ventilated area, as resin printers can also release particles into the surrounding air (and you really don’t want to be breathing that in)
