Whilst this is nice. I’ve had a color ebook reader for maybe four years. It’s not a new technology.

Anything is better than nothing. This is true. But that doesn’t mean you aren’t wasting your time on something that does the bare minimum.

I think we have different definitions of security. Your definition may be more theoretically secure, in your mind, for the novel and interesting solutions. My definition is about a hardened, time-tested solution.

I feel like a lot of this is driven by a bias towards the unknown. You don’t know all the security issues in something new or even something old that doesn’t get the same level of testing as Linux.

I would trust security hardened Linux over all of the suggestions any day of the week. Better the devil you know.

How?

Duolingo keeps doing mass layoffs, so the bird is overworked. You can help him out by switching to a language learning app that actually helps you learn a language instead of endlessly throwing flash cards at you without teaching you anything! Win win.

This thread is a good example of just how circlejerky and bubble like lemmy has become.

You are correct. Outside of the hard-core users and tech nerds, Ubuntu is massively popular. But you listen to this community, and you’d think the opposite.

This is a good example of how most of the performance improvements during a rewrite into a new language come from the learnings and new codebase, over the languages strengths.

Lol, no, it isn’t. Anyone can set up an apt repository and ask you to use it. Many providers do… You might mean the walled garden of an official singular apt repository is safe.

🤷‍♀️ the snap works absolutely fine with no issues, the flatpak doesn’t exist and the apt is two years out of date.

I’m not on the outrage boat myself tho

I sometimes use a snap

The native apps are functionally webapps, they are not “native”. You should be able to tell that if you “work in mobile”.

A native ui wouldn’t have much or any impact on time to show your dashboard. But it would add an astronomical overhead to the development costs

Nothing glow-in-the-dark is anything that could be described as “bright.” What you probably want is something that is florescent under a blacklight. Someone probably makes something specifically for that, but otherwise, a lot of dyes are naturally florescent

Irc was never searchable, but that was never an issue before.

This “no mans land” you speak of is probably 99.999% of home assistant users. Managing docker is not something that most people want to do or know about.

At the very least I don’t feel like I need more out of Firefox than it has today. If it all goes to shit, then a free Firefox Ala chromium would do fine.

I just want it to be on par with the Roku or it’ll wind up in the trash heap

in the nicest way possible. lower your expectations. or accept the data-selling, or VPN through europe so you can deny the ads.

Look for air mouse. It’s basically a wiimote. Uses gyroscope to pretend to be a pointer device. You’ll need that because you’re basically going to need to use a web browser if you want to go down this path.

It’s not a nice experience but all the nice experiences you won’t like.

I’m making a point, I’m not actually asking you to answer those questions…
