I have a bunch of issues(some way smaller and borderline nitpicks) with windows, but I guess there’s some big ones:

1. Linux runs smoothly on older computers, even with KDE which everyone talks about as if it was heavy. Windows is a slug in comparison.

2. Linux is free, truly free. Microsoft can’t beat that.

3. Shit just works (unless you are on Nvidia…), don’t need to install drivers and shit like that.

4. most of the software you don’t get from a random website and they all update at once, rather than having each one update itself and only itself

Issue is that Immutable also conveyed a different type of information. When I first heard of it, I genuinely thought it was something like DeepFreeze for Windows

Btrfs is really cool, just a warning: I had a surprise when I found out the subvolumes make a device more of a hassle to mount externally, you can’t just put it on an external HDD enclosure and expect it to work as painlessly as it is with more “traditional” file systems, I had to mount each subvolume manually as GUI file managers only mounted the root.

It’s not complicated, but more than I’d hoped for.

I don’t really understand that argument, and I want someone to correct me:

If you were keeping your battery at the ideal charge (i.e. 20% to 80%) that means you are really only using 60% of your battery during its lifetime. I’ve been using my phone since July of 2021, always changing it to 100%, preferably only charging when it gets close to 0%. Using AccuBattery I get the battery stats and after 2 years and a half, the battery capacity is at 85%.

I still have 85% of usable battery, this is more than the 60% I’d get if I was using the battery ideally. So I don’t really get this argument about taking care of the battery cause it appears it would take a while before the battery is degraded enough to hold less charge than the recommended rate.

Even if a social network loses 99,99% of the user base due to charging to use it, those left are the ones that see no problem paying to use it, so they are more likely to eat up some insane pricing, which would help recoup losses from a smaller user base. Basically whales.

I think the only way to try to kill a social network is by going full scorched earth on it. Remove all your comments, or change them to be an annoying copy pasted comment about why you’re getting off the platform. And even then I don’t think it is helpful, I did that with Reddit but was forced to leave technical posts intact because I feared I might prevent someone from solving their issue.

KDE Connect on KDE distros, just feels part of the KDE experience

I’m running on an i3-2310M with 4 GB RAM without issues, I’m on Linux, tho

It explicitly calls out that there shouldn’t be masks

icons should be clean edges; the layers must not have masks or background shadows around the outline of the icon.

And icons are XML files, or fancy SVGs, I was under the impression it would just pick apart the shapes and force all the fills to be the same color.

I even tried doing some fancy work with dithering, but it didn’t render

Wait, where is it explicitly mentioned? I’ve done a redesign of the icon for a popular Android app. While reading the documentation, I was under the impression that whatever is on the monochrome layer would receive the same color, no matter the fill that was used.

Wait, holup. The second icon has the circle as a slightly different shade of green. How did that happen?

Bottom. It is frankly weird how long it took me to grow used to it, but it is the only position that makes sense.

I’m also liking the slow change from dialogs to bottom sheets

uBlock was already available for Firefox for Android

Alright, so what extensions are you guys looking forward to? On mobile I don’t think about it too much cause most of the websites I use on Desktop I use as apps on Android, so a couple of website specific extensions are useless for me
