The affordable Sony Xperia 10 series is really good. My new Xperia runs circles around my OG Pixel, costs basically nothing, is waterproof, has upgradable storage and a headphone jack, and besides Apple, Google and Intel, Sony is the only manufacturer that actually has working bluetooth.

That’s definitely wrong. You should follow danielle’s mastodon, she’s working on elementary all the time.

You need to be able to have multiple nodes in one LAN access ports on each others’ containers without exposing those to the world and without using additional firewalls in front of the nodes.

That’s why kubernetes ended up removing docker support and instead recommends podman or using containerd natively.

There’s no alternative for 0.0.0.0 and a firewall if you’re e.g. using kubernetes.

That assumes you’re on some VPS with a hardware firewall in front.

Often enough you’re on a dedicated server that’s directly exposed to the internet, with those iptables rules being the only thing standing between your services and the internet.

The EU demands that alternative app stores or individual users can do exactly that.

Apple disagrees.

That’s precisely why this is back in court.

It being totally without rules or terms is exactly what the EU demanded.

Why would they need to comply with Apple’s ToS to publish apps outside of the app store?

Even half an hour next to the PA without special ear plugs is enough to permanently harm your hearing.

Seriously, stop being an asshole. Coil whine is a well-documented behaviour that creates a loud, high pitched noise.

As coil whine is at the very limit of what human hearing can accomplish, it doesn’t take much until you’re unable to hear it. So you’re likely too old or went to too many concerts to be able to hear it.

Good ears? the question is when, not where, and the answer is half a lifetime ago.

It’s just like those shitty recipe sites that tell you their grandma’s life story for hours before giving the recipe. Get to the point, who cares about the anecdotes of some writer?

I don’t want to connect with everyone always everywhere. It’s just like small talk, which may be acceptable or even essential in some cultures, while considering rude and wasteful where I’m from.

Don’t SteamVR tools work on linux as well? Not that it’d help in your situation, where you’re stuck with proprietary GPU drivers and proprietary VR tools.

Why so? AMD supports Wayland just fine, while having good enough performance. As a VR dev, AMD still including a USB C port on GPUs should actually be even more convenient for you.

Also note that even a dual boot system is leaky. A kernel level anticheat has enough power to do firmware upgrades on peripherals or the UEFI, so a badly behaving kernel level anticheat could easily take over your entire system in a way that can never be gotten rid of.

So how do you juggle having to see dozens of windows at the same time then?

I’m a software dev as well.

But I often layer multiple windows in the same tile of the screen. e.g. I may have the IDE with the software I’m working on in one tile, the IDE with the library source code I’m working with in the second tile, and a live build of the app in the third tile. But I’ve also got documentation, as a website, in the same tile as the IDE with the lib’s source.

Now when I switch between the IDE with the lib’s source, and the browser with the lib’s documentation, I only want that tile to change. No problem, with KDEs taskbar and window switcher I can quickly do that.

But when using the applications menu on Gnome I get a disrupting UI across all screens that immediately rips me out of whatever I was doing.

Why’d you have to use TC? KDEs dolphin can do all that natively.

Personally, configuring KDE was much simpler and more robust compared to the dozen addons I needed for Gnome, which also broke every now and then after updates.

I tried that, but IMO it’s much simpler and more robust to just configure KDE than to install a dozen Gnome extensions that end up broken after updates anyway.

Unless you’re writing ruby on rails on a 13" macbook, you’ll run into Gnome’s limitations when working.

Gnome is in many ways so focused that it makes a lot of productivity use impossible. You always have to open the menu to launch software, you’ve got no system tray, and worst of all, Gnome apps are so simplified that you constantly run into the limitations when using it productively.

When working with dozens of windows open at the same time across multiple monitors, I’m a fan of KDE. And KDE apps tend to also have all the extra features I need to handle weird situations, files, and edge cases.
