Just a guy doing stuff.
There are some apartment buildings with shared Internet connections that are just open and public; It’s crappy but cheap if someone can’t afford individual connection
I’m not familiar with ports, does it provide an easy way to install packages of a particular version? Is it OpenBSD only, or just a system of installing things?
I’ve got no dog in the race as of yet, I’ve bounced off of nixos a few times because of the general lack of consistency from one package to the next in terms of configuration options made available in the Nix language.
Genuinely curious about how it compares. The nix package manager seems fairly promising, even on non-Nix systems, if I could ever convince myself I needed it
What in the stroke did I just read
There’s also an app called Shutter that works quite well
I can imagine that getting confused with Guix (pronounced geeks)
Somehow there’s never time to do it right, but there’s always time to do it again
I switch between this and Shutter on a regular basis depending on what I feel like using that day.
I’m sorry, my goal wasn’t to be a bother. My initial comment was intended to be friendly and funny - I’m not trying to patronize or be antagonistic. I learned a couple of years ago that I have autism, so I should have learned my lesson by now and stopped trying to be funny; It never pans out the way I mean for it to.
Hope I wasn’t too much of a drag on your day, and I hope it gets better for you.
With that said, a genuine question with no jokes: Can you help me understand how 2016 counts as recent, given the context? It was almost a decade ago, and I’m having trouble comprehending how it counts at all as recent since in tech “recent” usually means “in the last 2-3 years” unless you’re comparing to something from a much longer time ago like the 90s.
It was a lighthearted jab at calling 8 years ago recent; Not a political statement about Apple or operating systems.
8 years is a ton of time in tech, CPUs from 2016 are ancient. Single-core CPU performance has doubled in Intel’s laptop chips since then, and modern laptop CPUs from Intel are often 12-core, versus the top end 2016 MacBook Pro having 4 cores.
Not trying to start any fights, was just poking fun at the choice to call 2016 recent
I can read, and a 2016 MacBook pro is not even a bit recent; It’s from 8 years ago :-)
Just a bit of light-hearted leg pulling, nothing to get worked up over
I hate to break it to you friendo, but 8 year old hardware isn’t recent. It may still be usable, but that doesn’t make it recent. It’s ok though grandpa, let’s get you back to bed
The dual GPU problem has actually for the most part also been solved; Optimus rarely poses a problem these days
Most of the complaining I see is that they’re not going open source, they’re going “source available”
Java devs gotta be able to read the whole name of their WidgetFactoryBuilderRepositoryConstructorFactoryRepositoryBuilderFactoryRepositoryManagerBuilderFactoryRepositoryFactoryFactoryFactoryBuilderFactory
What would an operating system need yank registers for? Maybe if you get a good text editor to go with it, like Evil Mode 😉
It has one bearing: it puts them in the same location together
For those I just commit with the message “ngl there’s a lot of changes in here”
Can’t forget the intermediate step of PHP 9: PHP borrow checker
I’ve used a Z Fold 4 for two years now and it’s been the best phone I’ve ever had. Desktop versions of websites, on my phone, without feeling cramped. Two apps side by side, both roughly the size of a usual phone screen. Huge screen for retro emulation using a Bluetooth controller. All with still having a small screen for one handed use and more traditional scrolling.
Games like Hearthstone, Gwent, Chess, Baldur’s Gate Enhanced Edition, Roller Coaster Tycoon Classic, feel way more playable.
At this point, using any other device feels limited and cramped in ways that a big screen doesn’t.
My only complaint has been price, and I only got mine because my company paid for it
