Wouldn't it put Firefox on a pickle? Say Chrome gets bought out of Google's hands, would they still bother to pay half a billion to Firefox to stay as the default search engine? Could Firefox survive being financially independent?

I know this question is a year old, but I'm just discovering that this community is on lemmy so I guess it's better late than never!

So it is not just a cosmetic mode. With the classic mod, your slider head click timing is a lot more forgiving than on normal lazer. You can try it yourself: if you click on a slider somewhat early or late it still registers as a great or 300. This is how it's done on the classic version of osu!

I don't know why it started this way, but maybe it was because Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan (the ds game osu! is based on) also registered acc like that too.

IIRC, the pp (performance points) system now awards you for playing without classic mode as it is, well, more challenging this way. So take that in mind if you want to climb the osu! leaderboard.

I went into void as my first DIY distro, mainly because I wanted to mess around with window managers and it was a very good experience. Runit made my underpowered laptop boot into linux in like 4 seconds, crazy fast. XBPS package manager was always really really fast too. I like the fact that nearly everything you need is in the official repo, instead of having to delve into the depths of something like the AUR. I also managed to make a contribution to the repos with the help of the community on the IRC chat rooms which were very noob friendly. Overall just a solid experience.

Definitely overkill, but considering the chip is going into flagship phones it's almost to be expected. Really going off topic here, but with this much performance, I really think the next step should be to make x86_64 apps compatible on these phones. Wine on ARM is getting pretty good with projects like FEX and Box64 being capable of getting console-like performance on full blown desktop games with these newer phones. Idk, I feel like features like Samsung Dex could actually become a serious desktop replacement if they could implement more office solutions from PC's programs. We're at the point where I think it would be feasible to do, imo.

 

Artículo viejo pero más relevante que nunca en nuestra lengua. Yo estoy de acuerdo con lo que dice, dentro de cien años lo más probable es que quede como una reliquia del pasado. Teniendo en cuenta además lo flexible que es la RAE con el uso del idioma, tampoco creo que vaya a haber mucha oposición al cambio.

Maybe using whatsapp web is worth a shot? I saw a while ago a webapp apk of it on f-droid

Super mario maker's "x" bubbles that show where people died in the level really gives the game a nice touch. Makes you not feel as bad for dying in an easy obstacle lol.

When an app supports linux, it can do so by either:

  • packaging it for popular distro repositories,
  • giving instructions on how to build the app from the source code

or

  • package it on distro-agnostic, package management solutions like flatpak or appImage.

These last ones are sandboxed environments. That means they have their own dependencies isolated from your system, so they dont have to deal with every distros pecularities at the cost of using more storage space. This is very useful for developers and in your case benefitial for the user because you can have both steam and zoom via flatpak on mint, arch or any obscure distro that has flatpak available, without any major problems.

Oh yeah. My initial plan was to install termux on it and use it as a server for a simple webpage I wanted to make, but the official rom i had was 32bit and the newer termux releases only support 64bit os.

I was going to give up, but while digging for more info I found out that for some reason the chip on my moto g4 was 64bit but not the OS. So I searched in the depths of the xda forums for a 64bit rom, which resulted in way too many dead links and dubious sources. Ended up using some obscure anime themed custom rom that crashed whenever I wanted to open the camera or use the flashlight BUT, it installed and ran termux nicely.

Overall I got what I wanted, but there wasn't any good quality rom I could find as they all had some sort of flaw. Hope you get better luck though! Those phones are still perfectly usable if not for lack of software support

For the moto E4, Motorola has a guide in their support site to unlock the bootloader. I used it to be able to flash a 64bit rom for my moto g4 plus and the process was pretty straightfoward, although you do need a pc to use the adb command line tool.

As Google tries to hinder ad-block extensions with their new platform Manifest V3, it seems to me Chrome or any Chromium derivatives are no longer a viable way to browse the web safely. So it got me wondering, how much big of a task would it be to still suport Manifest V2 on newer releases of Chromium? Maybe implement some legacy option for backwards compatibility with older extensions. I think it would be a great alternative to have, but I haven't seen anyone coming up with something similar.

I know it is an old post, but I have the same cpu in my hackintosh and also encountered this same error, but later on fixed it! Turns out I was following the instructions of coffee lake cpus instead of kaby lake (very intuitive naming scheme, intel) for the config.plist. If you're still interested I can share you my EFI folder, see if you can fix the error
