The name came from the bar in Whistler, BC… might give a little more insight into the development team…

Oh yes, I’m well aware but couldn’t remember what names connected to the proper OS. I’ve always had the joking idea in my head that the names came from a project manager who didn’t actually do anything except daydream about where their next paid vacation was booked lol

Really Impressed

I was always on Linux since Varsity but two years ago when I bought a gaming Laptop, it had Windows 11 on and worked great. I thought I would give it a chance and it was great especially for gaming. Luckily a lot of the open source software I was used to were available on windows. I also liked some of the Linux tools like the...

Also on Mint, only real issue I’ve encountered was trying to get my old gaming mouse working… What a cold med fueled rabbit hole that was while home from work for a few days. I think I understand the issue now, which is there is nothing written into the distro itself to support more than a 3 button mouse, so I would need to write in custom USB inputs after mapping them from the device. Wanted it bad enough at the time to actually go and see if input detection was able to see the extra mouse buttons, and it could, so I finally launched a game and tried rebinding to buttons to test it, and it just worked… I think I rebuilt from a snapshot about 4-5 times in the whole process trying to make sure I hadn’t messed up something else up while trying suggested fix after suggested fix, and remembering I had issues with the initial setup of the mouse software on windows thanks to .NET Framework 3.5. I don’t need extra mouse buttons for my DE badly enough to go through the whole process of custom inputs if it works the way I need it to in game, but it’s nice to know I have a “rainy day” project if I need one.

I did that but lost my headphones jack with connected built in quad DAC, a reliable fingerprint reader mounted on the back of the phone, and front facing camera that wasn’t crammed under my screen causing an annoying dead spot…

You’re on the phone that died on me and I felt the exact same way, if you find something you’re happy with let me know, so far I’ve HATED my Pixel 7 Pro experience but 50% of that is probably a combination of more recent updates to Android than I had been running on my LG and the specific PixelOS features or lack there of in comparison.

Evangelical app 'Bless Every Home' is mapping personal information of immigrants and non-Christians in a bid to conduct door-to-door religious conversions and “prayerwalking” rituals targeting them. (newrepublic.com)

It puts a lot of features at the fingertips of the faithful, including the ability to filter whole neighborhoods by religion, ethnicity, “Hispanic country of origin,” “assimilation,” and whether there are children living in the household....

Or, you forget the underwear, and they’ll wish they forgot to knock on your door!

I haven’t used anything other than Nova on my Pixel 7 Pro since I almost immediately realized I couldn’t find a way to turn it off in Pixel Launcher. The whole ad campaign that they ran around personalization was a complete joke, feels like an iClone and I hate it.

Sadly yes, I’ve been exploring a few alternatives in case it starts looking like a data mining nightmare but nothing so far, maybe I’ll give total a shot

For the S24 Ultra -Can you hide the punch hole camera on the home screen? -Can you vertically scroll in the app switcher? -Are the quick tiles as bloated and useless as the Pixel phones? -Does multitasking work with animation scale disabled? -How curved are the screen edges and image/colour distortion compared to the S23 Ultra?
