I’ve been frustrated with Discord already after their stint with NFTs 3 years ago, and now there are ads in the channel panel and the cost of Nitro has doubled. But, none of the FOSS alternatives work well enough to move my friends over there, in my experience. Hopefully this will spark some progress, especially if Discord goes the way of Tumblr/Reddit.
Unfortunately I’ve heard the list is not well-enforced, so the do-not-call list functions more as a list of confirmed working numbers with humans on the other end. That’s why I’ve never tried using it…
I get probably 5 spam calls a week so if that keeps growing, I might have to give it a try…
Oh my God yes. I used a MacBook for work and it was a two-step nightmare to get it to connect to multiple monitors.
First, I had to plug multiple type-C cables in, one for each monitor, since Mac can’t output multiple displays through a dock. And getting it to actually show on all monitors was a finicky process at best.
And then, every time I’d take it off the desk and put it back, all my windows and workspaces would be all jumbled up, on the wrong monitors, etc.
I needed to install Rectangle just so I could have a keyboard shortcut to snap a window back onto the screen, since sometimes they’d be inaccessible off the end of the screen.
Mac support for multiple monitors is not a smooth experience, to say the least.
Just gonna call out that programming isn’t the only “real work” in the world.
Yep, it’s mostly just about consistency across the dev team. This is coming from someone with multiple Linux machines for personal use and hobby projects:
At my first job, devs all had Macs. There was the occasional guy with Linux but he was always had trouble because all the scripts and dev tools were made for Mac, so he had to constantly be rewriting and modifying them to work on his machine, and wasted time doing so. Nobody used Windows for development since it wasn’t Microsoft, lol.
But, when the Apple Silicon Macs started appearing, that’s a different story…
As much as I’m rooting for this meme, the spike was very brief and the stock has been falling consistently over the last day 😔
Interesting, I’ll give it a shot on my next rig. Looks like it came out after I’d already gotten comfy with Manjaro.
Can’t say with my use case I’ve run into any of those issues, though the cert stuff sounds kinda gnarly, especially to happen more than once.
Genuine question, what are your criticisms of Manjaro? I’ve been on it since about 2019, and haven’t had any major complaints.
For me, it feels like the best mix of features I’ve found so far. Pacman, AUR, very up-to-date repos, and Archwiki, without a lot of the major PITA manual labor I experienced with Arch. No shade on Arch, I just don’t have time in my life to constantly be tinkering and fixing basic stuff I want to just work.
Curious why some people recommend against Manjaro now.
Waiting for 9000 X3D. For most people, 7800X3D is more performant than anything 9000 series.
Ok hear me out. I’ve lived in the US and in Europe, and while Celsius makes sense for all sorts of things (cooking, car engines, PC temps…), I think Fahrenheit actually makes a surprising amount of sense for climate, indoor and outdoor.
While Celsius 0-100 is linked to the states of water, Fahrenheit is loosely a 0-100 on “how is this for a human to experience”. 0°F is sorta the limit of “dang that’s really cold” and 100°F is “dang that’s really hot.” And that’s the whole reason we look at the weather report.
0-100°F also has more individual degrees than -18-38°C, and when a couple degrees can make a big difference for indoor comfort (or the heating bill), I appreciate more granularity.
That’s very concerning! Sounds eerily similar to how Google killed XMPP back in the day. Honestly we probably shouldn’t allow any federation with them to stay safe.
There was a really good writeup I saw recently either here in Lemmy or on Hacker News somewhere, can’t seem to find it. In short though, Google adopted the decentralized standard, built it into Gmail so everyone uses their client, then eventually dropped support for talking with other XMPP clients.
Hey uhh… Can I get the collection somewhere
