Very minor anecdata I would like to share: I have discovered Veritasium like most others, at the time when they weren't "clickbaiting", when their videos actually had the thing that they discussed right there in the title. I

They will apparently (at least) offer new input types such as tag fields. You can find a few references of the pro features in the documentation and guides.

I have opened a merge request on Refined Hacker News ( https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news ) which is a pretty great HN extension for Firefox and other browsers. Thank you to OP Edit: I'm pretty please

I understood it like you did. She--the author--even wrote that she had translators for all the languages supported by the app, hence the 50-to-30 chars kerfuffle.

The screen is apparently a 16:10 display, plus approximately 70 (not sure about the number) pixels on top: thusly, when an app goes fullscreen, the OS just blacks out those top pixels and puts the app in the 16:10 area (unless it uses the n

It appears to work for Netflix, but not YouTube videos. Are there restrictions in the implementation? Edit: following this¹ (without installing any driver though) was enough to make it work for YouTube, apparently. Thanks for the info! [1]

I'd been using Firefox ever since the Phoenix days. And somehow, sometime, I moved to Chrome like everyone did... until I had enough of Google, and came back to Firefox right at the start of the Quantum days. Haven't left since. F

Pipewire (which is being released in mainstream distros since this summer) has mostly/entirely fixed these issues. On my particular end (Arch, for gaming) it's 100% perfect with no latency Edit: Pipewire is a new system AND a &quo

There was concern at one point that the laser component of Starlink woulldn't burn up during atmospheric reentry. I don't think many (if any) satellites currently in orbit have that laser module (which will be used for satellite-t

In case it wasn't a rhetorical question, Crew Dragon does not have an airlock that would allow for a suited astronaut to leave the craft while maintaining atmosphere inside it. Plus, a big thing missing is a manipulator arm, such as Ca

by jvzr 5y ago
It is! A new version, in fact. It includes Proton. (I'm not sure if SteamOS v2 and below were already Arch-based, but it's interesting to know that v3 is, given that the Steam Linux Runtime is mostly Ubuntu-tested)
