My experience with flatpaks has been mostly good. I tend to opt more towards .deb based apps, with flatpak being a fallback option. With that being said, the Pycharm Pro and Spyder flatpaks don’t run well at all on my system, with Pycharm being too heavy, and Spyder crashing due to Kvantum incompatibility.
**There’s no jailbreak for iPhone 13 on iOS 16.0 yet. ** You can check jailbreak status here: linkThe discord server also will let you know when jailbreaks are released: linkYou’re lucky to be on iOS 16.0 as you’ll have access to both MDC and KFD exploits. These give some of the jailbreak functionality. You’ll want to install Sidestore (to sideload apps) and Cowabunga (to remove 3 app limit) to get access to tweak functionality.
It’s a format that most major image editors don’t support. Basically, if you wanted to do anything with it, you need to first convert it to a different format. It’s the only format that has this problem.
WEBP is 13 years old at this point and lacks the support that PNG had 3 years into its lifetime. The benefits are marginal, and without platform support it can’t catch on. Do your research before calling someone else’s argument stupid.
Despite being a heavy cell phone user for more than 25 years, it only recently occurred to me that vertical navigation on most phones is inverted when compared to traditional computers. You swipe down to navigate upward, and up to navigate downward. I recently spent time using a MacBook, which apparently defaults to this...
This makes sense to me too. The way I have always viewed it is that if you were to lay the mouse wheel on the screen itself, it would behave the way as if it were interacting physically.
You should probably explain what a distribution, a DE, a WM, and a DM are. I feel like this is something that Windows users lack in particular, as they have little control over these features.
What desktop environment were you running? I usually recommend GNOME to people who just want an OOB experience and KDE to people who want to invest into a more personal experience.
Unity was abandoned for a few years by Ubuntu, so I’d assume it’s behind most other DEs in terms of development. Most of what users experience in a distribution is the DE, so using a bad one can ruin it.
That’s really only true of some users. Most people now are used to at least 2 OSs. GNOME acts a bit more like a mobile OS in my opinion, and KDE behaves more like a desktop OS. Ultimately if you’re moving to linux of your own volition, you’re usually going to be more tech friendly than anyone staying on windows.
To be honest, I personally disliked GNOME, but not because it didn’t match Windows. It just didn’t have the level of customization and accessibility that I expected from linux.
The product designer for this needs to be fired. Anyone who’s held a controller for an extended period of time knows these hard corners will kill your hands.
Phones are a slightly different story. Edges do help grip, and ensure product stability (which is essential on a phone). Additionally their smaller form factor means ergonomics don’t come into play as much as a game controller.
Part of it is probably the perceived legal liability, but another is Microsoft sees the user interest in this type of games and wants to make money off of it. That’s why this announcement comes shortly after the release of Antstream Arcade (which has been added to game pass so they make money from sales there in addition to the portion they take from each purchase). It’s some of the most anti-consumer behavior we’ve seen from Microsoft in recent memory.
If you’re referring to forcing Edge, W11 sysreq, and insisting on having trackers turned on, all of these are combatable due to the openness of the OS. Xbox is mostly a closed platform, so it can’t be changed even if you wanted to.
This is completely anti-consumer. A few months ago Microsoft removed free applications similar (and better) than this from their store, only to then turn around and release a paid option because they want more of your money. I wish the developers of these applications had the financial backing required to pursue legal action to a result similar to the Apple v Epic Games lawsuit.
It could be semi-public details. A google search and someone’s social media can give you a lot of information on a person, depending on how safe their internet practices are. Generally all you need are two or three details to find out more personal information if you wanted to.
