  • TIL the color "chartreuse" is named after a liqueur

    Jump

  • Oof. Thata a lot of strong stuff. It's 55% alcohol iirc. You drink that every month? Wow i am living dry at the Moment 😂

  • Introducing Theme Builder

    Jump

  • I just want to have the vscode theme "Abyss" - but WITH the Types underlined! I hope that works with the builder.

  • thoughts on the Firefox logo redesign? (rule)

  • Because it's washed?

  • Major incident declared over giant hole at Shropshire canal

    Jump

  • Took me a minute to understand what I am looking at. My brain said "the boats were derailed" and that was a little too strange to be possible.

  • What Youtube channel has maintained high quality standards over the years?

    Jump

  • Nice to see Frank Howarth there. Those video are pure relaxation. Setting YouTube to Wellness-Mode even. And technology connections of course.

  • Not sure if I'm just old and bitter now or movies have gotten worse

  • I think his films are just very specific in taste. If you fall into his specific target demographoc the movie is amazing. But it can also depend on the day or it depends strongly on things one has heard about it beforehand. When I first watched Eternal Sunshine I was incredibly awake. There were so many things and strange details that didn't make sense that my brain was working hard to make sense of it. Later everything clicked and fell into place in an awesome way. I absolutely loved it.

    But I know so many people who didn't like it one bit.

    His other movies are also that way. My other favourite: Adaptation. I didn't like the Netflix one. Or didn't understand it or didn't care. Don't know.

  • HDMI Forum is unwilling to disclose the 2.1 specification for open-source (Linux): according to AMD, they had submitted a functional, HDMI 2.1-compatible driver [for linux?], which the Forum rejected.

  • 💸 (and control) is the reason.

  • Latitudes

    Jump

  • I find that so crazy. I'm German and for us Italy is always the sunny south where it gets much too hot for us. The USA iseems more like us climate-wise. I'd always thought New York would be a little like Berlin. Crazy to see how far south most of the US actually is.

  • What song would you sing ag karaoke?

  • Stephen Wolf? Love that band!

  • What’s Hiding Inside Haribo’s Power Bank and Headphones?

  • I hate that every known company has to suddenly exploit their "brand recognition" and expand into unrelated areas. It's completely logical from a short-term-profits-from-uninterested-in-anything-besides-profits shareholders but destroys the value people ascribe to a certain brand in the long run. My favourite example: Marshall. They've been known for loud and DISTORTED guitar amplifiers for decades. They shaped the sound of so many famous bands. Their amps would last a lifetime and sound great! So someone thought "Hey let's make shitty headphones and Bluetooth speakers that will - by nature - not be durable, will have to excell in an area that Marshall never was interested in: amplifiers that do not distort the source material and that sound neutral. They had to rely on completely new technology like Bluetooth (which changes it's standard over time) or be dependent on shitty Internet companies like Spotify (who decide suddenly to brick devices by not supporting them anymore). It's almost the complete opposite of everything Marshall stood for IMHO. The only thing they have in common is that they make sound. The effect is that people buy products that break, decay or deteriorate on timescales much much shorter than the original brand would be expected. The thing that Marshal will be known for in the future is these speakers or breaking headphones with OK-sound quality. But a few management people will have made a lot of money of course.

  • New to Linux which OS to use?

    Jump

  • Thanks! Yeah I prefer the gnome one. I think it's heavier resource-wise but for people expecting an OS to look "like an OS" (people who prefer not to use a terminal) it's great. I think I've used KDE Like 10 years ago but I am not sure if it was KDE.

  • New to Linux which OS to use?

    Jump

  • Just a question: why fedora KDE? I've used fedora for a few years but always with gnome. Really liked it. What would be the advantage with KDE? Or what actually is the difference ?

  • Österreich geht gegen die Shrinkflation vor

    Jump

  • Es gab jede Menge Unterteilungen. Die relativen Unterschiede waren halt deutlich größer. Von 200g konnten die Hersteller halt nur auf 150g oder so runtergehen. Das fällt halt sofort auf. Wenn die von 200 auf 195, dann 187, 183, usw stück für stück runter gehen blickt es halt niemand mehr.

    Ich weiß noch genau, wie das damals verkauft wurde - wie immer: "Mehr Auswahl für die Verbraucher". Wir waren damals ja alle total unglücklich unter diesem Diktat der wenigen packungsgrößenauswahl. Immer die gleiche Lobbyscheisse .

  • Here comes a new JPEG challenger

    Jump

  • It also has the coolest abreviation/name out of most image formats.

    .jxl sounds a lot nicer than web-pee or avif.

    Also Junkie XL made that famous remix of Elvis' "A Little Less Conversation" which is a banger.

  • Modern Phones

    Jump

  • There are some phones with pretty clever zoom systems. But they lay sideways and the vie angle gets reflected 90 degrees by asmall prism.

    Or do you mean retractable to enable a larger sensor?

    Also: gas discharge flashes would drain the battery so so quick unfortunately. But yeah i wish i could at least connect a larger flash to me phone that would be triggered by the phone.

  • Thank you! Nice to know I'm not crazy :-)

  • Regarding windows. Does NTFS support this? Like COW and other advanced stuff? Or am I doomed if the underlying FS is NTFS?

    At work I have to use windows (11) and i always have the feeling file-related stuff (copying, moving, doing stuff in large git repos) takes a loong time compared to my own devices thst run linux with btrfs.
