As a 10+ year GIMP user, yes it’s that bad.

I still use it because it’s the only relatively full featured photo editor that works on all my platforms, but… Yea.

What does ‘modems in mobile phones’ mean? Isn’t the whole thing a modem strapped onto a screen? What am I missing?

My imposter syndrome kicked in full swing. I was ready to learn a CSS best practice and feel uncomfortable about it for the rest off the day.

I don’t get it, isn’t this a pretty normal way of using media queries. Granted you’re more likely to see the widths defined in px.

Khan academy can solve this for you, if you want.

So what killed him?

Bees… Do both?

Amazing. I’m not OP and have no use for this info, but it was fun to learn it still.

I think for most web apps it doesn’t make sense to allow the width to get so wide, except when the content being displayed is a columnar list and even then it’s a pretty marginal benefit.

What I’ve done is limit the max-width to some amount of px/chars and allowed the remaining space be empty, with an exception for when displaying tables. Even with tables, the bigger width is only beneficial if either the contents of the columns are large enough, or there are very many columns to show. The solution in my mind is limiting the column widths to the longest content.

Yea, Chinese people understand when you do that, but they first look at you with this confused look thinking ‘he wants two chopstic pieces?’ and then realize you have a vocabulary of a two-year-old.

Source:lived in China long enough to learn yo ask for things, but not long enough to learn the countable nouns.

Wouldn’t that line of thinking imply that women don’t have any agency about anything? Whatever they decide can be framed as a reaction to internalized fear.

Not to mention that gender roles also affect men.

Don’t need windows if you live in a basement (and use Linux).

Sounds talaxian.

I have been wondering why my maintainer doesn’t remind people to donate more often. I set up a small recurring donation, so I don’t have to remember, but I think it’d be okay to regularly remind people.

Also look into donating to your instance maintainer. They literally pay for the server costs, so it’s fair.

I feel like there are some missed opportunities

• Sensors that don’t work because a proprietary driver is missing
• Having to add repositories to get wifi working
• Voice assistant that only works if you know terminal command parameters by heart
• More tool windows
• More xorg.conf to get displays working
• A flame war about the relative benefits of obscure infrastructure componemts
• 7 package managers, 3 if which are needed to install 90% of needed software. The remaining 10% somehow still needs to be installed via shell scripts
• Completely new UI in each version, still looks like it was designed by german ocelots in the 90s

OP is clearly boasting about how smart they are.

The company behind Home Assistant also maintains ESPHome, so I’m sure hardware hacking conversations are welcome.

The cost of the scroll wheel cannot possibly be more than 10€ and the pcb cannot be more than 1€ battery is about 4e and display can be 7-8, chip is 2-3e and passives, connectors etc brlow 5. The manufacturing costs of the thing are likely below 40€, even in small volumes. Assy costs are probably about 20% of the total.

Part of the high cost may be investments in moulds for the casing and r&d cost.

Unfortunately my love for cats is rivalled only by my allergy to them.
