It’s subtle, but they changed a lot of minor things, I think maybe because it’s using a different UI framework. Scrolling is worse (the scroll bar acts nuts and the scroll wheel usually doesn’t work very well, I these days tend to use the keyboard to scroll the middle plane) and the frame on the right doesn’t reset between stories.
It’s little things, but it makes reading through the days news a bit tougher.
I live by nextcloud news, but I don’t like the new interface.
The other nice thing is it syncs with apps on every platform.
Imo the future is federated and self-hosted. Maybe not for everyone, but for me.
I’ve got a 2013 MotoX, and it’s been many a moon, but I’m pretty sure I was able to get LineageOS onto it. It’s a small, thin phone with voice recognition built in. Quite distinct looking from any Moto Gs we’ve bought. Took Motorola forever to port Android M to it, and then the port was actually really shitty, so it was nice to eventually find a port.
I think I found the good version on xda. OTOH, I don’t think it was a cdma phone. I think the one I had supported LTE
I’m running nova, and the thing that sets it apart from rootless (as I recall, it’s been a while) is that you can set up whatever search engine for the search bar you want. I don’t use google, I only use my own searx instance on brave, and nova let me set everything up exactly the way I wanted it. Most other launchers assume you want google, and I think they assume you want chrome too.
I always debloat my phone, the difference is too massive to ignore.
My last 2 phones were a Galaxy S9 and a Galaxy S10, and I really found the samsungs to be insufferable at first, but with a strong debloat removing a bunch of ‘features’ nobody asked for and redundant apps, as well as changing the launcher (I use novalauncher, but rootless is also great and also FOSS) had a notable effect on the feel of the phone. I recall that some of the “features” specifically slow down responsiveness to button pushes because for example it ends up waiting on a home button press to see if you’re going to do a double or triple press.
If you mess it up too much, a factory restore will undo everything you did anyway, so don’t worry too much about it.
I’ve used the same technique on a number of different phones as well. My dad loves his LG phones, but it comes with a bunch of stuff he didn’t want, so we were able to disable it. His latest phones are rugged china phones, and he swears by them, especially once we were able to get rid of a bunch of stuff they added that you really don’t need.
The particularly hilarious part of this is that moments later Hasbro ditched Larian.
It’s pretty funny that most of the top games are like 10 years old or more.
Incredibly, in spite of the fact that I’ve been paying for 25 years, I very rarely go for any of the alternative endings, other than the developer ending if you beat lavos the first time.
Chrono Trigger. I’ve played it on so many platforms it’s a bit mind blowing
I find it hilarious that the first argument for 4k screens that resonates with me is better quality MS-DOS gaming.
Regardless of what the numbers are saying, it’s a tough industry right now and I don’t think a lot of people are buying a lot of games of any kind since everyone’s so jaded about the destructive practices of the industry. It isn’t going to be about a plucky little underdog coming in and changing everything at this point, it’s about an entire industry that has lost the faith of its customers.
The most important thing for everyone to remember is that if you don’t fully own the thing such that you can install and run it without asking permission, or if it isn’t simply free and open source, then it can go away at any time.
I think the fact that it doesn’t have the same gravitas GTA has is part of the reason why it’s so good.
Gaming journalism has been dead for so long the body’s nothing but bones.
The key to “AI” is having a human there to take algorithms and apply them to the right problems.
This is what most people don’t understand because many of the demos are quite impressive and narrowly tailored to prevent the fact from being obvious unless you know what you’re looking for.
COMPILE ERROR - LIBRARY CALCAREA.H DOES NOT EXIST
goddamnit you acid tripping LLM…
About 200 pounds.
Honestly, if you’re running public facing services, you should run the latest everything you can. There’s a risk that stuff breaks, but at least you’re not having to worry about patched exploits.
The most important risk you face is if somehow mains voltage ends up contacting somewhere you get electrocuted and die.
There are 2 purposes of an earth ground: First it can be used as a reference for certain signals, such as microphones. Second, it can be used to protect against turning yourself into a sparker.
There is a clear separation between mains voltage and system voltages so it’s typically not going to be a problem, but if a little wire ends up contacting the power supply case it can become energized and things start to get really bad.
Most of the electrical code where I live focuses on grounding as “Bonding”, which is purely safety related for giving dangerous voltages a safe place to go.
