I mean, it’s certainly better if they’re dipped properly, but each individual LED is still far too bright.

A scooter with a ring of single LEDs on it drove past me once - I guess they were some sort of cosmetic thing - and they were still dazzlingly bright in full daylight.

LED headlights are godawful astigmatism or no. Whoever invented them should be made to stare directly into the sun for the rest of time.

I say that Emma Stone should divorce her husband and marry me instead.

It really depends how basic and how “general public” we’re talking. At work I’ve had multiple people email me their credit card details in plaintext. That might fall into the “beyond help” category.

A few points I think are important:

• Use an adblocker

• Use a password manager

• Don’t connect things to the internet that don’t need to be connected to the internet

• If it needs to be connected to the internet, keep it up-to-date

I think that covers the basics without impacting convenience too much. While I personally think that your TV is something that doesn’t need to be connected to the internet, I imagine most laypeople wouldn’t agree with me and do it anyway.

While this article has some good points, it really is sad, and kind of ironic, that the first paragraph of it is bullshit clickbait that completely undermines the rest of the text.

A tale as old as time. Banning media you don’t like is a lot easier than parenting your children.

arch seems the coolest, with Wayland, kde, hyperland customization

While I have no experience with Unreal Engine, so I can’t give an informed recommendation, I just figured I’d point out that you can do this with every distro

Kokomo

I work in ecommerce, so the answer is “ours”. I get far too many calls saying “Do you sell x”, or “How much is y”, and because of how terrible our website’s search function is, I can’t just say “use the fucking website, that’s what it’s there for” like I desperately want to.

We all know they use Signal, anyway.

I still use Firefox despite Mozilla because fuck Google.

I tried Librewolf, but YouTube (yeah, I know) ran like crap on it for some reason.

Me saying “RIP” was an attempt at hyperbole. That being said, shoehorning AI into something for which a big selling point is that it’s user-made is a gigantic misstep - Maybe they’ll listen to everybody, but given that they tried it at all, I can’t see them properly backing down. Especially when it was worded as “pausing” the experiment.

If they thought this would be well-received they wouldn’t have sprung it on people. The fact that they’re only “pausing the launch of the experiment” means they’re going to do it again once the backlash has subsided.

RIP Wikipedia, it was a fun 24 years.

Have you tried printing on a raft?

I can’t imagine anybody would prefer work-sanctioned “fun” to the same amount of PTO and the money the activity would have cost.

Yeah, I didn’t consider that the exchange rate in 2012 was really good. With the new price and today’s exchange rate, it would be $180 NZD, which isn’t the end of the world, but feels kind of wrong because electronics generally get cheaper the longer they’re on the market.

That being said, it isn’t just Kindles. Kobos used to be ridiculously cheap, and now they’re the same price as Kindles if not more.

It’s crazy. I bought the then-current basic model Kindle for $90 NZD in 2012, which still works. I recently started looking for a new eReader with USB C and without the rubberised coating that slowly turns back into oil. The cheapest I’ve found is over $200.

On the one hand, it’s about time - APT was released in 1998, and it wasn’t even the first package manager.

On the other hand, I’m sure Microsoft will find a way to make it shit.

It’s still in active development, but you might want to keep an eye on Plasma Bigscreen. I’ve been looking for a similar setup to you, and it seems to tick all of the boxes, at least for me.

I only learned about it recently, and I’ve been too busy to try it in that time, but I’ll edit this post with my impressions once I get the time to have a play with it.
