Not in the toilet
Not in the toilet
I doubt DND (Do Not Disturb) hides those notification icons on any phones. It’s purpose is just to mute the sound and vibration of most of them.
You also need to buy that TV to test that
To be fair, that’s not much of a thing with windows
but who would have thought something that sounds as simple as wanting to RDP across 4 monitors would be so damn difficult.
The ubuntu unstability surprised me (not that I would recommend it anyways), but this didn’t. Isn’t RDP a proprietary protocol of Microsoft? Probably not too many use it in the Linux world
No one encrypts their emails, yes. As a protonmail user I don’t do it either, because proton’s software does that automatically for me.
With the email system, end to end encryption is only beneficial to you, it doesn’t have a disadvantage for you. It’s totally transparent, meaning that it works without affecting how you do things normally.
Where do you turn it off?
Didn’t know it’s possible, but I also don’t understand why would you do that
But most of these are not must haves. Like, SteamDB?
I honestly doubt that WSL runs at native speeds. WSL2 literally runs in a VM, and IO performance is known to be worse even compared to WSL1. Maybe it’s just not directly noticable. Do you run a graphical environment in it? If not, that could help a lot too in not noticing it.
That’s very weird as with docker on windows you technically run your containers in a linux vm, and besides that, in my experience windows is not nearly stable enough to be useful for running services.
All while I have been deploying selfhosted services for myself without problems on Linux for years. My only problem has been the constantly overloaded system, but that’s no surprise when you run heavy services on the 10+ year old portable hard drive system disk. Windows would only perform worse in that environment.
I don’t want to pay for the hardware either. I have an old 750 Ti, and you would be surprised how many (not new) games are running perfectly fine on it. Amount them those like the last deus ex games. I don’t remember the framerate I had, but neither do I remember it as an unplayable laggy mess.
When I read that CS2 barely manages to run on a 2060 or some other powerhouse (in my eyes at least, but honestly for some reason I have the impression that 20xx is not much of a leap from let’s say a 1080 Ti) I can’t think anything else but that the game is a totally wasteful garbage technically.
The point is not that, but that modern games are super wasteful with computing resources.
If I was already playing CS1 with 30 fps in low, I guess this would be 10-15 fps if it even starts up, right?
About the other points.
I see your point, personally I prefer WebUsb, WebBluetooth and such to be completely missing, so it’s much less likely that a bug allows access to these to a site.
Bluring camera background seems to me very specific to webcams, and even if chromium based browsers will do it for you, I think you are better off with running OBS and it’s virtual webcam functionality, as it has been made for that purpose (video processing), and it can do much more if you want (including cropping, ways to improve video quality, or even do greenboxing). Introducing background bluring to the browser would mean more requests to add this or that effect (even if it should actually be the task of the web app), and I think it’s hard to maintain even a single such effect (that does not blur everything, but only certain parts of the image) if your devs don’t have extensive experience in video processing. This would be a feature that if introduced, either would break once and stay that way for quite some time, or would take significant development resources to find the problem and keep it working.
For me Firefox haven’t crashed once in a year or more, even though I’m a heavy user: using it every day for multiple hours as a “tab hoarder”, with quite a few addons.
I also rarely restart it, as I don’t turn off my computer completely, so the Firefox process is usually as old as the time of last system reboot.
I think you may have ran into a rare bug, that has got persisted in your browser profile.
You may create a new browser profile (e.g. on the about:profiles page) and set your things up there, and most likely it’ll be stable.
I think there’s also a “refresh Firefox” button somewhere where average people would look for it, but I don’t know where it is. But be aware that this will delete everything in Firefox, where’s if you create a new profile, the new profile will start with a clean slate and you can switch back and forth between the old one if you find out you need something from there (e.g. old passwords that you haven’t transferred, a specific about:config setting if you use those, addon settings, …), or even have them open at the same time.
You can use it via web perfectly fine
Except when they demand your phone number for access. Pathetic service.
And the developers of those ad libraries that the dev uses, too. Have a look at my other comment in the same thread (but slightly deeper)
I haven’t yet looked into the lemmy client, but they don’t necessarily have to call any function in that library for it to be active.
On one hand, there are the class variables in Java. When a class variable (a static one) has a value assigned at the place where the variable is declared, and the assignment is the result of a function call, afaik that will run when the class is loaded, which is basically every time the app is run. Same with static blocks.
On the other hand, on Android an app can have components that are automatically run in certain conditions, and which can be added by any programming library you have added to your project.
One such type of component is the BroadcastReceiver. These are mostly run on certain events broadcasted inside the app or through the whole system, but now I don’t find whether any of those that Boost reddit uses are started by systemwide broadcasts.
The other is the ContentProvider. These are started every time the app’s process starts, but otherwise unconditionally. It’s common for ad and tracking code to misuse this kind of components for being active as much as possible. Looking at the Boost reddit app, along others it has the following:
Are the advertising libraries completely removed from the paid version, or is it just about not placing ads on the UI?
It’s not weird when they are saying weird things and you want to find out about their motives.
