Not really because the latency of, say, clicking a web link and the website showing on screen depends on throughput, not just ping latency.

Tabs and breadcrumbs are both useful features though, that almost every other OS/DE file manager has supported since forever

You could use Mos, which also has the advantage that smooth scrolling works the same in every app (speed, acceleration etc) https://mos.caldis.me/

Apart from just running Linux apps, you can use this to run graphical applications remotely on a Linux server, like X11 forwarding.

The "Email Image..." one is infuriating. Who right clicks an image to email it to someone in 2026? And if it's you, could you help me understand why??

>Sure, if you think calculators or bicycles are "superhuman technology". Uh, yes they are? That's why they were revolutionary technologies! It's hard to see why a bike that isn't superhuman would even make sense?

Those icons were incredibly visually distinct, despite being meaningless. I still know exactly what they are for instantly, in my peripheral vision, years after using many of them. Modern icons are not only not comprehensible but not visual

It seems like just such a weird and rigid way to evaluate it? I am a somewhat reasonable human coder, but I can't copy and paste a bunch of code without alterations from memory either. Can someone still find a use for me?

Sure if you just leave all the code there. But if it's churning out iterations, incrementally improving stuff, it seems ok? That's pretty much what we do as humans, at least IME.

Also the resize cursor is completely unreliable, the cursor often doesn't change to the resize one when the mouse is over the correct resize areg. So it's even harder to tell if your cursor is in the right place before clicking. I

This talk is by The Usual Suspects, and it's about one of those 'others' that they targeted.

True but there was specific criticism about how the framerate made it far too easy to see the parts of the effects, sets and costumes that made it clear things were props and spoiled the illusion. Maybe we just require a new level of qualit

>It was always just a compromise between film cost and smoothness. I think the criticisms of The Hobbit when it came out in 48fps showed that it's not just that.

It's not just the framerate mismatch, OLED's un-pulsed presentation with almost instant response time greatly reduces the perceived motion smoothness of lower framerate content compared to eg, CRTs or plasma displays

I don't really see how that would be precise enough, the mouse wheel has a DPI of like 10 vs 400-800 for a mouse. A mouse wheel has like 25 notches in a full rotation and even MIDI CC values go from 0-127, that's 5 full rotations,

Some audio software lets you do this but mouse wheels are incredibly imprecise compared to the mouse sensor itself so this isn't really useful for many types of control which require precise adjustment.

It works great though, what's the alternative? It's visually small, so you can fit a lot of controls in a small space. You can glance at it and know the current setting and where it falls within the range of possible values. By ma

It doesn't provide enough precision for many synth/music effect knobs.

Totally disagree, I have a wrapper I wrote myself for converting things, often for sharing the odd little clip online or such. It produces a complex command that is not easy to just type out, that does multiple things to maximise compatib
