  • Cinnamon is nice. But then I meet KDE…

    Honestly, if you’re happy with Ubuntu, don’t worry about what other people think. A lot of the (valid) complains of Ubuntu require research to understand why to be outraged.

    I personally only use immutable now (bazite, aurora and steam OS) and I wouldn’t have it any other way now.

    This doesn’t say it’s difficult, just says there are others which are less difficult. Even if you accept everything at default, windows installs take much longer.

    I’m not sure why you even think this is an attack on windows really. You keep saying windows is for those who want easy to use, so why not include the whole process?











  • Well, the problem is that every would need to have their own server with notifications waiting to be pulled (imagine your phone goes offline) and they need to be beefy enough to answer potentially thousands of requests per second. Almost impossible for small devs.

    There’s also additional battery need, as it’s many calls and payloads, and if a server is slow it can affect all the other notifications. Plus more area of attack.

    Not impossible, but I don’t think it’s the direction things will go.


  • Imagine you have 20 apps that can send receive notifications from remote (messaging apps, offers, updates…). That would require each app to be active in the background and pulling updates. That’s a massive battery drain.

    Instead, the apps send the notifications to Apple/Google, and the OS checks for all of the apps. The apps don’t need to be awake (the OS could show the notification or wake the app) and there’s only one service checking for the ml notifications.

    It’s a massive oversimplifying and probably I made some mistakes, but that’s my understanding. Hopefully somebody can correct me.


  • One of the state laws that Tesla complains about is Cal. Veh. Code § 24011.5, which says that companies “shall not name any partial driving automation feature, or describe any partial driving automation feature in marketing materials, using language that implies or would otherwise lead a reasonable person to believe, that the feature allows the vehicle to function as an autonomous vehicle.”

    So Tesla accepts they mislead the customers but that’s their constitutional right?

    I would love for somebody to honestly defend/show a different interpretation. It sounds so bad I can’t on my own understand how people still defend this.
