@morrick@appdot.net I have had the same cell carrier since 2004. They had amazing deals during their startup-rebel era (an actual cell carrier — not MVNO pseudo carrier). Eventually they stabilized and the investors wanted profits after several years of customer acquisitions from the established competitors. They lost the underdog feeling I loved. However, I still *like* (not celebrating) them and they did eventually give me a special-deal cell-service contract. Super cheap.

@morrick@appdot.net I think the 914 shown in the video thumbnail looks hideous, to be honest. It’s interesting, because not every premium car model looks stunning. This includes me not admiring the design of exactly every Lamborghini ever produced (although I like the vast majority of them!). Note: I wish I could search Mastodon to find my previous replies to you, regarding car discussions. Sorry if I end up repeating myself. UPDATE: Mastodon on the web only found an unrelated Porsche mention.

@morrick@appdot.net For most of my life I have had a special eye for Porsche and Lamborghini, since getting posters I put up in my room as a little kid, starting in roughly 1990 or thereabouts. One of the posters depicted a Porsche 911 and the other being the Lamborghini Countach. Both were red. I think Boxsters are pretty cool as well. Maybe I’ve told you already: there’s a game I had for my PlayStation (1st gen), Porsche Challenge, which is where I discovered that the Boxster model existed.

@morrick There are alternatives: to write once and still look great on multiple platforms, natively compiled and the UI adapts to each platform. Looks, responds and behaves properly. I just fail to see why big corporations like Adobe become so lazy all of a sudden with the UI development. I don’t think the users (designers) have become so stupid that they get visually lost when switching between Adobe products on Mac vs WinUI. Maybe it locks the user into an Adobe-specific workflow.

@ahltorp @Chancerubbage @gadgetgav @jacob Yes exactly. This kept being a thing for both the original iPhone, iPhone 3G and the early iPod Touch models (1st gen and 2nd gen). I still have the iPhone 3G and 2nd-gen iPod Touch and they both can’t run iOS versions newer than iOS 4.2.1. Neither handles real multitasking: force-quit with UserDefaults save and restore code is a must. Done properly, the user will *think* it’s multitasking.

@jamesthomson This is why I have used a lot of private browsing to read articles on completely legit sites. I simply click on Accept all, read what I need and close it, hoping the browser won’t leave any trail behind on my device. The only downside is that the tracking will be 100 % enabled on their side, in the logs and maybe some database or they will sell my data to third-parties. So … no, it’s not ideal. I just find it practical if I absolutely want to visit the website.

@unknownuniverse @thelinuxEXP I’m not a game dev in Unity, nor Unreal engine, but games are usually made in C++ and C#. Just think how many game platforms game devs need to support: PS5, XBOX, Win 11 and sometimes Android + iOS. They can do it because the code compiles on multiple OSes without rewriting the whole game. Native Linux support isn’t rocket science, but their boardroom investors demand market share. I’m confident your F1 one day will be on Linux natively.

@unknownuniverse @thelinuxEXP If this was about making full-scale desktop software like Office or Photoshop for Windows 11 vs Qt apps for the KDE that Steam uses for their Steam Deck, then my answer would be a confident ”no!”. However, games are often extremely portable, with only Direct X being a bad, proprietary citizen. Switching to only supporting Metal and Vulkan would give us Windows, Linux and Mac-native games, 100 % bypassing the critical Windows dependency.

@unknownuniverse @thelinuxEXP I have used Linux since 1998. Gaming never took off until Proton came along, so there is no other way to solve this. The sheer amount of gamers means that hardware manufacturers and exhibits will all start focusing on Linux gaming. Microsoft technologies will transition to being an Enterprise-only OS. But, does it need 70, 80, 90 % market share before Linux-native games become first-class choices? I don’t know. Sales profits will decide.

@unknownuniverse @thelinuxEXP I know what you mean, but the mere thought of having 70 % of gamers on Linux means that Windows starts to become a lower prio for Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, Rockstar Games and even more so for indie devs. You start to feel like you are looking at the wrong audience. The big game companies will respect and see the Linux platform as the primary platform and thus they start relying less on Direct X because the performance will be lower.

@unknownuniverse @thelinuxEXP Doesn’t matter that it’s Proton, because it drives market share. Once you hit 30, 40, 50, 60 … maybe even 70 % market share in the future, no one will bother with Proton. Most people are using Linux for gaming at that point, so they better make native games to satisfy the *main* audience.

Advice that help developers avoid spending half of their day fixing layout errors or debugging unexpected behavior from something like NavigationSplitView.

@stefano @openmeteo @grunfink @FediFollows Thank you for providing the service! It’s a great initiative and I think this brings value to the Fediverse in such a way that new potential users will make the leap to create an account on Mastodon or any of the others like Pixelfed, etc.

@dimillian Perfect! That one is the most critical of all things for me in the app. Highly appreciated time spent on fixing it! 🎉

@anderseknert@swecyb.com It’s obvious we’re not in a situation where John Connor needs to save us from SkyNet. (TLDR; Sällan jag ser andra svenskar på Mastodon 👋🙂)

@_inside Two weeks ago, I went into the $HOME folder’s Library/ and deleted old simulator runtimes worth 200 GB (two hundred gigabytes) of data, totalling more than 3,5 million files. Here is one of the Empty Bin dialogs I managed to capture. EDIT: There was more than just runtimes: cache and just leftovers all the way back to Big Sur, as its the M1 Mac Mini. I cleaned up 1/5 of internal storage (1 TB flash).
