I’ve looked it up and it’s even uglier and I can kinda understand why they did it this way Basically, for their “integrations” they aren’t using any official APIs. Instead they just use the websites and automate them via the Playwright framework. So for each user they have a VM running with a Chrome browser to access the services. So now they have the problem that they need to get their users session cookies into the browser. And the easiest solution for that is having the users access their VM via VNC and just log into the automated browser.
This is such a hacky solution that I’m actually in awe of it’s shittiness. That’s something you throw together in an all-nighter during a Hackathon, not a production ready solution

Not that far off actually, China started producing the first sodium ion battery powered car in series this year

I can confirm that Hyprland also works from GDM

This might sound a bit heretical, but you could carefully pick and match a variety of software and configuration to your individual needs, turning your tiling wm into a fully functional desktop environment, or you could just install a tiling wm into an existing desktop environment and get something useful with like ten percent of the work.
I know that I have done the former multiple times, only to fall back to existing desktop environments again because it’s just a lot less work and often works better, since you don’t have to take care of getting things like screen sharing or media buttons to function.
Especially LXQt and Xfce make it very easy to run a tiling window manager, but you can also find extensions/plugins for KDE or Gnome to make them tile. I’m personally running Gnome with the Pop Shell extension right now

Damn, who’s cutting onions here ;_;

• Transfem: Born in a male body, identifies as female
• Femboy: Born in a male body, identifies as male, likes to behave and/or dress in what is traditionally seen as feminine

Also the Apple Pippin. And third-party Macintosh clones. And the Twentieth Century Macintosh. And the Apple III.
Especially before Steve Jobs took over Apple again they had what feels like more flops than successes.

Honestly, I already thought that The Force Awakens was underwhelming

Yeah, I’m making a lot myself too, but I sadly don’t have the storage space for large amounts of food. And the homemade goods are often more expensive, unless you can get veggies on the cheap from a farmer

It gets even worse when a number of anime aren’t even licensed for your country so you can only stream them via VPN. Looking at you Crunchyroll

If I could actually get those for 1000$ I would do that. Just spent 260€ for a new 16tb one…

It’s kind of depressing to see the EV prices available in China and compare it with the prices available in Europe. Hell, there are only three sub-30000€ EVs available on the German market, after two models were discontinued last year

“Dammit, for some reason I can’t kill all the children, a few of them always survive, I must have a leak somewhere”

Yeah, that’s why I added “according to some sources”, I can’t speak Korean, so I can’t verify it

Yeah, same for me. I’m actually on my second foldable with a Z Fold 4 and I just love the concept. Mind you, I tend to read quite a few Mangas and books on the go, so this concept is pretty much perfect for me. Combined with my glap controller it also makes for one awesome mobile retro handheld.
I have to admit that it’s not all roses though. My first foldable was a Z Fold 2 and exactly one year after purchase the inner screen suddenly died on me. Started with a few dead pixels and spread out from there, til the whole screen started flickering and was unusable. Samsung refused to acknowledge it under warranty, pointing to a small dent on the hinge where I dropped it shortly after I got it, since Samsung’s official case was terrible.
I vowed to never get another foldable afterwards, but I got back anyway because I just love the form factor. Still, this time I got insurance in case of any other display damage.

I’m pretty sure Kim knows at least. He grew up in Switzerland after all and speaks Korean with a Swiss accent, according to some sources

That’s not really what that blog post is talking about. Lua isn’t actually particularly old as far as programming languages go and one of the most commonly used scripting languages in game development, due to it’s easy embeddability. And it’s a perfectly fine language in that regard.
Their problem is that they built their own visual scripting language on top of Lua called BlockBuilder. And that comes with quite a bit of overhead, since the way they’re doing it needs a number of additional heavy operations. And Lua is a full blown programming language that comes with a lot of functionality that they don’t need for that use case, but still need to account for.
So the complaint is, that they used Lua instead of using a simpler and constrained language

That’s a rather rose-colored view of the game. One thing is certainly true about Spore: It’s absolutely unique in its genre and we haven’t really seen the like since.
But it certainly had its flaws when it came out. The main one being that the further into the game you got, the more lackluster it felt. With the space exploration endgame feeling rather empty and basically the same every playthrough, with how you developed your creature having very little impact.
There was also the whole DRM controversy which everyone complained about. The game had to be activated via EAs online servers and you could only activate it five times total. And changing your PCs hardware was seen as a new PC which needed a new activation

The Austrian show Gute Nacht Österreich. It was the same concept as Last Week Tonight or the Late Show. Well, they did a show about then right wing populist Chancellor Sebastian Kurz’ networks and connections. The topic of the show had been announced a day before, but they had suddenly shown a different one, apparently due to pressure from the upper management of the public broadcast.
Only due to massive public pressure could they show it the following week and afterwards their show mysteriously didn’t get renewed due to budget cuts, despite being very popular.
They had only come back later after Kurz was ousted because of a corruption scandal

Yeah, I’m still stuck on Google Keep, since it’s the only one that’s integrated with the (even worse) Google home
