It wouldn't be a bad option to have. The calls app has only two display settings.

Multiple calls can't all have the same time and duration.

The comment and username in isolation probably wouldn't have elicited that response from me. In combination, I took you for a delusional ultra-fan. I think anyone who genuinely thinks AI is a wonderful thing for everyone probably enjoy

Freedom is slavery! AI owned by a few companies is more likely to put the majority right back to serfdom. You're a privileged fool to believe that freedom is the likely outcome of the current stampede. With a username that appears to c

Unless one wants interoperability with other people who use Apple and "Samsung" (because they don't know the word Android refers to an OS). It's a de facto standard now, whether you like it or not.

Indeed. I don't use most of the stock AOSP apps on Graphene because the UI is so awful, but there are decent alternatives so it hasn't been a bother. I'm looking forward to seeing their work.

I'd rather see AI being used to generate new games for old platforms (console emulators) than these faux-retro things with mixels, inconsistent graphics styles (some blocky bits, some curves), and rotation of squares. Constraining the

I'm on Linux, too. Perhaps because I use Mozilla's deb repo?

Above the "safe paws" screen I get a "Welcome to Firefox" dialogue (in-browser not a system window) where it asks to agree to terms, the bottom of that allows disabling telemetry before continuing. Those screens you list

I'm always baffled by vitriol like this. The alternatives you mention wouldn't even exist without Firefox, and what bloody swamp? What forced extensions? I just started a two fresh profiles to test your claim (one in Firefox, one

That's not ever how it should be done, and the average person certainly won't work around that. However, I'm fine with telling Mozilla once per install that I'm not interested in using the generative AI, or summaries, et

Your response sure looks AI-generated.

Tried Tidal? The one gripe I have with it is no remote control, as in using phone to change what's currently playing on the device connected to my sound system, without it thinking I want to start playing on my phone. Apple Music pays

Fuck Spotify. Even if you don't care about the ethics of Daniel Ek's investments, the platform itself is crap. One of the lowest paying to artists, not paying at all unless they hit a threshold, and the catalogue is filling up wit

The main reason uBlock on Firefox works better is because of CNAME de-cloaking. All the tracking shit that appears to load as first-party, but isn't, can be correctly detected and blocked on Firefox. On Chrome it cannot, and with Googl

Have you seen what people are doing with hoverboards + wheelchairs? Carer- & user-operated variations. Not professional solutions, but certainly fill a need.

I hope you also tell her it's a liar. Sure it's useful for some things, but when it doesn't know, it'll just make shit up. It also peppers its answers with references now, but checking those refs will frequently show the

Careful, don't cloud deletions sync, i.e. remove the previously offline-only files from your devices?

I was talking about alternatives like Sqlite. It might optimise complex querying, but writing to it is slower than simple appends.
28.
by Walf 1mo ago
Text or text-like (e.g. text content with simple control char delimiters for metadata) would be far superior than the slow-down from Sqlite's safety mechanisms. Optimising logs for read, at the expense of write, is a bad pattern to me.

I think that's conflation. Having high visibility of an area so that cameras can be consulted for evidence can be, as you attest, a good thing. Being tracked over an indeterminate length of time, profiled, and maybe one day punished fo

Perhaps you'll feel differently if you, or someone you care about, happen to be one of the lucky future misidentifications.
