   Great point. I was more opposing their discourse and lack of any examples.

   If you need to build something from source (my use-case: Vim, so I can change which language bindings exist in the resulting build) it can sometimes be a lot easier than cloning and using the "raw" C/Make build system. Also,

   It's Mozilla, so most of their users do care. And if they don't, the extension with the same capabilities as Chrome already existed.

   > Of course, Notion is a complex app by itself, but in comparison, the native app for Apple Notes usually takes around just 120Mb for me. Anyone else surprised that Apple Notes takes up 120mb? That... sounds like an electron app to me.

   8 year old _desktop_ computers (that have anywhere from 3 to 6x more watts hitting the CPU) are one thing. Also consider whether your machine has a dedicated GPU. A Chromebook or other budget-to-mid-range laptop from 2015 would have a diffe

   Ironically (because related to Google), I feel that the constant churn of web development is what makes these older devices unusable. I have several devices from early to mid 2010's, and the real reason these devices are annoying to un

   I thought the E is silent in the latter, but I'm a much better speller than pronunciator. Maybe!

    You're being overly pedantic. They meant a GNU/Linux distribution without the Android bits, not an Android distribution. And that's obvious.

    Pretty sure sleep still doesn't work, unless the Asahi wiki FAQ / Wiki is out of date. Bit of a deal breaker for me until then.

    Using Swift UI, or UIKit, has its own quirks. And then you need to shift mental gears with entirely different UI component paradigms. I find most people making this argument haven't worked full time with one or the other. If you'r

    If the deprecated API is used by a library you're using and not compiling within Xcode (for example, IIRC the Facebook SDK), you're SOL. Also, it appears not _all_ deprecated APIs are causing these alerts, making matters worse. If

    Just use Debian testing. I've essentially been running Bookworm for about year now (that's actually the version name used in my apt conf). Ubuntu is pretty close to Debian testing version-wise.

    Good point (embrace, extend, extinguish), but if they try I doubt they could compete with Google on Blink development here.

    You can disable iMessage and still get plain SMS and MMS. The app is called Messages, and Apple's version of RCS is called iMessage. But you are correct that you cannot switch to a different SMS/MMS app.
