As I said, I briefly used gnome in the far past and just remember being weirded out by the design choices that felt very “Apple like” . So them pulling an “Apple” and doing the “we know better than the user” doesn’t feel out of place.
I was gonna say that it was a third party extension, but then I thought that gnomes users would infer that pretty easily.
Yeah, Cosmic looks really nice. Their app store interface needs a bit of modernization work, but otherwise, it looks well polished.
2 other responses I got confirmed that such thing happens and you say otherwise. Doesn’t Gnome breaks third party extensions that provides users basic functionality that should be in gnome in the first place but the devs don’t want to implement? Is the meme wrong?
Gnome devs : we broke the toilet extension. Your pokemons have nowhere to shit and piss.
Pokemon trainers : why the fuck is the toilet an extension. Shouldn’t it be part of the DE?
Gnome devs : we believe the toilet feature is unnecessary, so it wasn’t and will never be implemented.
Note : I’ve barely used gnome in my life so it’s based on memes I’ve seen about gnome.
Or Facebook or Twitter.
For them to peggy back of a competitor work would be a bold and very risky move.
The article is basically : We have our own inferior adblockers so don’t panic when UBO stops working.
This is stupid cause it will simply cause Firefox to be banned. The devs should just host it somewhere else and teach the user to run external extensions.
I can’t really give you recommendations because you’re from Canada and I am from a shitty third world country, so my needs and available choices are likely vastly different from yours. My only source is AliExpress, and I mostly don’t care about the Android box being certified by Google so Netflix & co. work (at least I believe that’s what the Google certification is for) because I sail the high sea.
TL;DR: Better to ask local groups.
That said, here’s my recommendation based on my own limited experience:
A Xiaomi box would be a good choice if you want a product from a big international company.
A Mecool Android box is also a good choice since they are Google certified and have decent hardware like DDR4 RAM and somewhat decent CPUs. Just avoid the boxes with the AMLOGIC 905Y4 CPU (which uses the weak ARM Cortex-A35 cores) and only go for the ones with the AMLOGIC 905X4 (ARM Cortex-A55 cores). Otherwise, they both have the same GPU (Mali-G31 MP2) which should suffice for an Android box.
A more specific recommendation would be the Kinkhank G1 which has an AMLOGIC 905X4, 4GB DDR4, and 32GB of ROM and is Google certified.
AI is overhyped but it still doesn’t change the fact that it’s impact is still gonna be huge, mainly in terms of how productive a single human can be.
AI on its own is still too dumb even with all the new improvements like huge contexts reaching millions and mixture of experts,etc. but they can be of tremendous help as a personal assistant, especially for disabled people. The fact that it can understand natural speech very well and act accordingly is a major breakthrough.
I also discovered that AI that have access to internet and do a search for what you’re asking them tend to answer vastly better than their offline counterpart.
Connecting and deconnecting cables can cause damage. It’s best to have a dedicated hardware.
Plus, you can literally turn your mini PC into an emulation box to play retrogames (snes, megadrive, ps1) and the new generation of “retrogames” (ps2, ps3, wii, nds). And if the hardware is good enough (modern amd APUs and 16gb ddr4) you can even play switch games on it.
The hardware they use on these TVs is complete shit* anyway, so your actually better off not using them for anything other than a TV. Buy an android box or one of those mini PCs instead.
*every time I saw the specs of these “smart” TVs a few years back, I would internally scream. I don’t know if it has improved since, but I highly doubt it.
That movie with Jack Nicholson playing a general and screaming “you can’t handle the truth” to Tom Cruise.
If you guys like hiking and stuff, there’s this cool open source app called trail sense on f-droid and it’s just so much feature packed…
I don’t hike, so I only use it for it’s pedometer capabilities and a hypothetical situation where “I might get really lost” but the amount of features it has for hiking and survival is crazy and so I think deserves to be more known.
Ngl, such titles always amuse me.
How far can we go? Let’s blame the CERN!
It’s beans worthy quality content.
Thanks for the TLDR
