I’m not sure about ATMs, they often ran OS/2.

Windows CE often ran media centres or UI panels in things like John Deere tractors or the Fiat 500.

It was also the OS that ran the Dreamcasts UI.

Very important russian airfield attacked. The air defence can’t do s#1t about it and all that’s needed are a few missiles from the 90s!

That guy builds drones like no-one else’s business.

I wish Australia and more countries would invest into small businesses that can build these kind of drones.

The cost to to effectiveness ratio of these is just insane. Ukraine has proven the effectiveness of loitering munitions.

Edit: Fixed typo and grammar.

Thanks for looking into it. It’s just standard TA with mods. I’m sure it can be made to run even more if you buy the steam version.

Linus mentioned in one interview that Steam does amazing work for Linux adoption on the desktop.

The problem is simply that standard Linux software is still a lot of work to get going and maintain. Work I just don’t have time for.

I tried wine recently to see if I can get Total Annihilation to work. I played with Wine in the mid 2000’s and gotten office 2003 to run on Suse then.

OMFG the mess when I recently tried to just run a simple exe that doesn’t even need a full installation.

Adobe sadly don’t just make Photoshop which is a remarkably good product. Even more so with their new features. I use Lightroom and nothing that exists for Linux comes close. All that needs some serious GPU integration.

DaVinci resolve is amazing and a real alternative to Premiere. The problem I see is binary compatibility. Even Linus admits that the Linux desktop has a problem with that.

I do have high hopes for web tech to evolve enough to make cross platform a thing again. Maybe ChromeOS will help there. VS Code is a good example here. With WebGl Vulkan in the browser and OpenCL that should become viable soon.

I’ve had the “fortune” of reading quite a few pieces in religion class.

I don’t remember any brown substances in that violent fairytale book that many claim to follow, yet few read and even less understand.

It does have a lot of “colourful” sections especially in season 1. I’m not surprised if there are passages about 💩.

If there are any pointers I’d happily use them in discussions with evangelists.

I know someone that would use a microwave to heat up food. But would literally run away from it whenever she used it and only come back after the set time passed.

I buy a lot off eBay. Not that they’re perfect, but at least they’re not owned by Bezoz.

Sharing is caring

Have you used a gpu intensive application in a VM with good performance?

Adobe software quite heavily relies on cuda or OpenCL.

Not sure what to think of that large space use across the bottom on a widescreen display.

That’s one reason why I downgraded from windows 11 to windows 10.

In standard KDE, the standard “start menu” at least is quite thin.

I was wondering about that when sensationalist science Youtubers started spreading the footage like wildfire.

Finally supporting PWAs on Desktop? Bringing back battery APIs and Network APIs so we can develop powerful apps than run on firefox.

• You can add a permission request prompt for APIs of concern. Make Firefox a kick-ass browser again.

Edit fixed typos.

You’re proving my point exactly. The imperial system is so convoluted that even people that INSIST that EVERYONE should use it, don’t understand its units.

Just because most people don’t have to deal with a certain conversion, doesn’t mean that none do. There are enough engineers that design stuff which is related to problems on these variations in scale. They waste hours in productivity in needlessly complicated conversions (because fractions). Not to mention the mistakes that get introduced like the famous Mars lander that crashed because of imperial unit conversions.

Not only are the units incredibly inconsistent, you also have the issue that Brits and boat people use variation of some of the same units. US Gallons vs British Gallons, mile vs nautical mile. MPH, vs knots. That barley corn that Holzkohlen mentioned defines shoe sizes, unless of course, you don’t wear shoes.

Didn’t you see the meme: “There are 2 types of countries, those that ise the metric system and those that landed on the moon.”?

It’s also usually shared by the same idiots that don’t realise that barley corn is an actual measurement in their beloved imperial system.

Ask any of these smart arses how barley corns are in a foot or how many feet are in a mile and suddenly you hear excuses. Not to forget that the inch defined by the meter.

Hungary, have you finally over-stepped it?

I’ve been using Vivaldi for a while That’s run by a team of ex Opera Browser engineers.

METAs apps effin stink! They’re buggy, have annoying habits and I can’t do a lot of the stuff I want. The most annoying part of them is their instance on their handcrafted image selector which vaguely sorts content by date.

I’ve got 20 years of images on my phone. If I want to post an image to a comment that I took 10 years ago, I’ll be sitting there scrolling like a numbnut to find it. On web-apps I can just use the file browser or even Android extension to find the image I want in a way that makes sense.
