Ice Cubes have some very visible slowdown when scrolling the timeline on the Vision Pro. I’ve tried everything I can, and I can’t isolate it. The profiler gives me nothing interesting, and I’ve been attempting to remove every view one by one and come to no real conclusion. I have no idea what is going on. My guess is that it’s the iOS micro stutters people are telling me about but more visible but I’m not even sure anymore.
I think #gnome handles screenshots perfectly. All I do is press the prtscn button. One key press and everything I need to capture my screen is presented to me in an easy to use UI. No 3-key shortcuts, divided out into 3 separate shortcuts for each capture option. No 20 years out of date application with a questionable name.
I really appreciate the lack of thinking and effort needed for an action I use all the time. It’s also, alternatively, only 2 mouse-clicks away.
I tried to have a video call on Jitsi Meet last night. It seems calls on the site now require a moderator, and to become a moderator one must log in through Google, Facebook, or... GitHub. Has anyone else seen this?
@paul It’s true. I watched an interview with Tim Cook, not sure where it went, can’t find it now, and he was asked if the 15 mini was a thing, and he said “who knows?”, And turned to the camera and winked.
I have to write this down: I had a rather strange dream last night, but not in a bad way. Usually in dreams it is very hard to read things: numbers and words get all scrambled. (This is one strategy for lucid dreaming) In this dream, however, I remember looking very carefully at a phone number, and being able to read it, in a big Times New Roman font. I only remember the area code: 270. That's western Kentucky, never been there before.
I saw this comment on an article posted on @arstechnica about #YouTube increasing their price for YouTube Premium. And yes, YT does need competition, the problem is most creators want their content to be seen, and hopefully get compensation for the effort involved in making the content, and #Google simply has the cash and gravitational presence to make it happen.
If you want competition, start supporting alternatives, and letting creators know that you won't be watching their content on YT. 💙
@tilvids@jppelt@arstechnica I feel like Louis will eventually be on peertube. He seems to be turning into Richard stallman increasingly with each passing day. It’s a pleasure to watch
Finally, I took a look at NixOS, and the Nix package manager! And while I was very skeptical at first, after a week of use, it’s clear that this is an insanely powerful distribution, that is now at the very top of my list to replace Fedora on my editing rig.
Let’s see why, how it works, and why it’s so good, even though it won’t be for everyone:
@christianselig I’ve been reading through your conversations with admins on Reddit, and is it just me or are they really dogging on Apollo? Like, even if they’re right, they’re offering no help to resolve it, and just singling out Apollo, saying it’s inefficient. What do they have against Apollo?
@GeopJr thank you, it works great on my pinephone. we need more mobile (not adaptive) linux apps.
I noticed (as far as I could see) that there wasn't an issue open about saving your scroll position and having a oldest to newest reading flow, like how other apps do it. Is that something u would consider? I could open an issue
About the whole #YouTube blocking ads thing: in theory, yeah, I want to pay for YouTube to have access to the content. That is a good model, a sustainable one, rather than setting an unsustainable expectation about how YouTube should work for over a decade, which they did. The problem is, I don’t want to give youtube money. I don’t want to give a privacy invading multibillion dollar company money. I would just not watch if there wasn’t a way to get around the bad experiences anymore.
@nantucketebooks yeah that’s how I currently watch. But I’m pretty sure they can outright block all of it if they wanted. And if they’re cracking down on Adblock, it might be next
