My own baked potato
  • Potatussy

  • Are all phone calls voip (voice over Internet protocol) now?
  • I'm pretty sure landlines are mostly VoIP now, at least in Canada. Every home phone plan I could find (with picurest of old people of course lol) were VoIP based, which also allows small competitors here to at least have some phone options, because the big companies don't have to sell bulk prices of their cellular towers to smaller competitors.

  • Advan X-Play launches with a similar design to Asus ROG Ally but with slightly better specs
  • So that they can say they have a better screen on the marketing, because they know damn well the actual UX will be inferior, so they need a selling point

  • Then he redemptioned all over john
  • I want to go back in time to when I didn't know it so bad, the first half is slow, but when it starts oh does it get GOOD. Everything is so good in this game, even if I was spoiled the ending, it didn't even affect what the ending made me feel. >!Like I'm really not the type to cry in front of movies and stuff, but after a 50 hours adventure, i actually felt sad.!<

  • Me too
  • Hahaha that makes it even more humiliating if it happens

  • De-Googled Android operating system /e/OS V2 brings Android Auto support, UI and privacy enhancements - Liliputing
  • Love the project, but I would really like if they stopped looking like a bootleg iOS. Stock android is fine, especially after Material 3. Also the name is annoying to type in an URL bar.

  • GSMArena | Sony Xperia 10 VI review
  • In 2021 I ordered from mi4canada, they were legit at the time, shipped in about a week

  • Me too
  • I wonder how often it happens but I don't want to have this in my browsing history...

  • Merging Dock with Panel | Ft Cosmic
  • Ok, as much as I do not like the esthetics of the new cosmic DE, this is really cool, and it looks like a very good middle ground between Plasma's over complexity and GNOME's over simplicity!

  • Every time I search for a USB key, I end up finding the ones flashed with OS ISOs! I don't have a normal key anymore lol
  • I got a 128GB dual connector usb-c/usb-a drive, and installed ventoy on it. I have my normal files and for my ISOs I simply put them in the ventoy folder. It works really well.

  • Upstreaming Linux kernel support for the Snapdragon X Elite
  • Oh wow, kind of like apple puts an M chip in iPads now, maybe a throttled version of a Snapdragon X chip could be used to make a phone. Didn't think of that but that would be very cool

  • Exclusive first look: Here's Chrome OS running on an Android phone
  • I didn't know about termux x11, I will check it out thanks!

  • Exclusive first look: Here's Chrome OS running on an Android phone
  • oh, if that means i can use native linux apps on there like on regular chromeos, that would be so cool

  • Proton Mail Discloses User Data Leading to Arrest in Spain
  • How is proton being dishonest here? I'd like to read your point. They never pitched themselves as a way to protect yourself from the law, they always clearly said they are a confidential email provider, meaning they don't know what you are sending and receiving. It works like a doctor meeting, the information is very confidential, but not anonymous, it is tied to you even though nobody except authorized parties should be able to access this info.

  • Why is head hair different from other hairy parts?
  • It's how this question started loll

  • Why is head hair different from other hairy parts?
  • Yeah, but why is it much thicker and less dense? Same for beard and leg hair and every other hair I can think of as well, so for protection? From what (I can think of rubbing maybe)?

  • Why is head hair different from other hairy parts?
  • This post is made semi-jokingly, but it's still a real question of mine btw. In other words: why is ball hair all fucked up when head hair is so smooth?

  • Why is head hair different from other hairy parts?

    Why is my hair smooth and soft compared to the other hairs?

    Benefits of resolutions beyond 1080p
  • 1080p is just fine, but it's not good and definitely not great. If you've tried a high DPI display like the ones on MacBooks, you'll know what I'm talking about. Using a computer at 200% scaling just makes everything so much more pleasing to look at, especially the text. The pixels are gone, so everything looks sharp and smooth. I really cannot wait for 5K 27" monitors with high refresh rates to come out. This will likely be an instant buy from me, except if it's like 2 grand.

    General high DPI with the same relative UI scale as 24" 1080p, but with much sharper visuals:

    24" 4k 27" 5k 32" 6k

    And the good thing is you can always set your game to use half the resolution and it will look as if it was the lowdpi equivalent, because the pixels are simply grouped using 3 neighbors, no fractional scale BS.

    My laptop has a 3072*1920 screen that I use at 200% scale on Linux, and I wouldn't buy anything that doesn't work well at 200%. Apple seem like the only ones who understood this with MacOS that is designed to be used at 200% on basically ALL their retina monitors. this is why they have weird definitions, because they need to hit 200%, and based on the size of the display, a standard resolution won't reach exactly 200% and the UI will be too small or too large.

  • I suddenly have a massive cursor with some GNOME apps. Does anybody else have this?

    cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/17545984 >Hey there, I don't know if any of you noticed something similar recently, but I have noticed my cursors have gone HUGE, like 2x what it should be at least. I think this is related to the affected apps using a beta version of Libadwaita 1.6, but I just wanted to confirm here before I create an issue in the repo. I use 200% scaling, GNOME 45, Fedora 39. Does anybody else have this problem?

    Huge cursor with 200% Scaling (Libadwaita 1.6?)

    Hey there, I don't know if any of you noticed something similar recently, but I have noticed my cursors have gone HUGE, like 2x what it should be at least. I think this is related to the affected apps using a beta version of Libadwaita 1.6, but I just wanted to confirm here before I create an issue in the repo. I use 200% scaling, GNOME 45, Fedora 39. Does anybody else have this problem? Thanks!!

    How it should look (in Pods, firefox and most other apps)

    !

    How it looks in Ptyxis

    !

    How it looks in Adwaita Demo (latest update, which bumped the libadwaita version to 1.6)

    Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer Revealed

    Rockstar has revealed the GTA 6 trailer earlier than expected, probably because it was leaked on Twitter. I think it looks amazing!!

    I can't wait to see what the community does with the images and what we will know almost for sure before the release
