No point in taking apart the ignorance in display, but I found A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson to be eye opening, science history for laymen.
One related item surprised me. Long before we arrived at the Earth’s age, proto-scientists, natural philosophers or what have you, were puzzled. Even a couple of hundred years back they couldn’t explain the age of the Earth given their observations, thinking a few million years couldn’t be possible. Turns out, they were right, just not thinking big enough.
Blurry apps come from xwayland compatibility. Firefox and alacritty (or other terminal like wezterm or kitty) have native wayland, with no blurry check Archwiki for example HiDPI. With Spotify, live with it or use spot (gtk client). Hopefully next gnome release incorporate something like plasma, and then ctrl+ native in spotify increase its size.
I dunno why I hate web apps so much. But I found a Firefox extension that keeps me happy on my m2 Mac mini. Running asahi on it and it’s got all sorts of weird restrictions. addons.mozilla.org/en-US/…/app-for-spotify/
Lmao it’s not framework’s fault if linux can’t handle hidpi well. The display ain’t broken, linux is. Btw I have a display of the same resolution on my laptop, and I have had zero issues on plasma at 125% scaling (most apps of my apps are wayland-native) and gnome works great after setting it to 125% via dconf too.
New idea just hit me like a ton of bricks. Growing up in the 70s and 80s, cryptids like the Nessie and Bigfoot were, at least, plausible. Places like the Bermuda Triangle were feared and paranormal visitors like ghosts and poltergeists were a common topic in pop culture.
All of that died overnight with the proliferation of the internet and digital cameras. Sure, those beliefs are still around, but you’re not going to see mainstream TV shows about them.
This new round of BS, ideas like Atlantis, alien pyramid builders, ocean faring civilizations living in mud huts and yet building wonders on other continents, all that, are the replacements for easily debunked ideas like Thunder Birds.
While we’re at it, sovcits were a joke in the day, but they actually seem to be gaining traction. Guess people need crazy ideas to believe in, to feel “in the know” and superior. Funny how education removes that need…
It’s a bit odd, but I don’t have more than a passing familiarity with the N64’s library and I still got it on the first guess. If you know the N64 library inside-out and you can’t place it, it’s the Japanese cartridge for a famous worldwide release.
I’ve been saying the same for tv commercials. I’ve always hated them but they were built into the episodes, now they jump scare mid sentence and come back to another speaking.
I sail quite often but the wife likes the convenience, so.
The absolute lack of any kind of consistency with layout or alignment makes me cringe too.
My guess is they’re all built by different teams that didn’t reuse any of the code written by the other teams. Ideally you’re supposed to have a design system with standards for this, but I think all the good developers left (or were fired from) Twitter when Musk took over.
