Welcome to modern operating systems, apps, browsers, websites… just buy a high-dpi 30" screen :D

This isn’t true, there are other features that “emit code”, that includes: namespaces, decorators and some cases even async / await (when targeting ES5 or ES6).

I didn’t see you that worried when she ignored all brewing political context that lead to the Russia-Ukraine war.

Here’s a good example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47363996/why-does-an-enum-transpile-into-a-function

fair enough :D but it does happen and there are reasons for that: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47363996/why-does-an-enum-transpile-into-a-function

Even that command wont really disable ALL animations.

Not really, because this stuff also happens: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20278095/enums-in-typescript-what-is-the-javascript-code-doing a function call always has an inpact.

Its really not, have you noticed how an enum is transpiled? you end up with a function… a lot of other things follow the same pattern.

Sure, can they consider stopping wasting money / time actually develop useful stuff? For a DE that got €1M from the Sovereign Tech Fund they’re not showing results.

Okay fine, desktop icons can be a design decision, however a “disable animations” toggle on the settings that doesn’t disable ALL animations… that’s just poorly made software, not something you may have an opinion on.

And to add to all of that the user experience is bad.

It does, the “compiler” adds a bunch of extra garbage for extra safety that really does have an impact.

I guess we can take the overhead of rust considering all the advantages. Go however… can’t even.

Yes, systemd is a very good and very well written piece of software while GNOME is a pile questionable decisions that uses web tech to create themes and takes about half a second to load up any window. Also the same pile where you’ve to use 3 different network management UIs to get stuff done. And… where you can’t have desktop icons because they were too hard to get done properly OR where you can’t have a “disable animations” toggle on the settings to actually disable ALL animations instead of just some stuff while leaving others arounds.

Finally, because nobody needs to manage system like it’s the 2000’s nor have duplicate daemons around to do stuff that systemd does in 1/4 of the resources and with less bugs.

Please do not reduce the community effort to “cloning macOS”. It’s insulting to the people working on it…

Well, it’s insulting for people to lose their work because someone did a lousy UX job. :)

Cloning macOS should not be views as something “bad” because for what’s worth we all know Apple spends a LOT in usability research (they’re not as good as they used to be, but still better than the rest).

Kudos for noticing this extra space which could enhance these kind of modals though.

That’s the thing, I’ve basic design / UX training and all the literature on action buttons with dangerous effects tells you to add a margin. Any design undergraduate should also be able to notice that life saver as well… however the GNOME team totally missed it.

This isn’t the first time them failing at basic UX and they don’t like when people try to suggest improvements nor when they later on criticize them.

It seems to be possible to stream audio to the camara and there’s some discussion about getting 2-way audio using WebRTC but it isn’t going anywhere: https://github.com/JurajNyiri/HomeAssistant-Tapo-Control/issues/99

Cameras in general aren’t as easy as cheap plugs to deal with. There’s the OpenIPC project but it seems only to support very specific chips that are sometimes older, hard to find or not price/feature competitive like something such as what TP-Link offers.

For what’s worth TP-Link Tapo cameras (TC70, 71 etc.) aren’t that bad when it comes to privacy, there isn’t much “cloud”. They do require you to use their mobile app and cloud to setup the camera but afterwards you can just run them on an isolated VLAN / firewall them from the internet completely and you’ll still be able to use all of the camera’s features. Those cameras provide a generic rtsp stream that even VLC can play and there’s also a good HA integration that provides all features of the TP-Link Tapo application like pan / move / download recordings from the camera’s SD card and whatnot 100% locally / offline.

I particularly like their cameras because they’re really cheap and decent, while not perfect in terms of privacy they’ve a good trade off when it comes to price but require initial cloud setup. They also have wireless versions, ethernet versions and a cheap PoE splitter will be good for those.

Surface Laptop 3 running Kubuntu, such an improvement over what it was “designed” for.

I’m sure it is an improvement until… you’ve to use Wine to run something Windows only or a VM and end up on the exact same spot as initially but with extra steps and less performance. 😂 😂 😂

🎉🎉🎉

Yet another major release that fails do support basic Win32 APIs available since Windows 95 properly.
