Remember when only one application at a time could play sound? And then Ubuntu shipped an early build of pulseaudio, and all of a suden no application could play a sound? :P
Makes me appreciate PipeWire so much more.

I've been using LawnChair, and they've dropped the feature for some time. I think it was being re-written from scratch. It just got back in the last month or so.
Way beyond fist shaking here. My brain simply doesn't process the trendy flat UX. It looks like when my kitchen garbage can tips over. A piece of carrot here, empty milk crate over there, sprinkled with onion peels, and some unidentified goop that I only discover later in the evening, using my bare feet, while getting a cup of water...
What's weird though is that I similarly hate the circle android icons. They all kinda blend together like a bowl of skittles. Make them squircle though... instantly recognizable!
People tried to bring more content through bridges. Mastodonians promptly started crying about how it literally puts peoples lifes in danger. Some still have #nobridge tags in their profiles to this day, thinking it matters somehow in an open network.
Nothing? Im as pessimistic as it gets, but it has provided traction for at least 3 competing decentralized alternatives.
Hope not. The new translation tools is great.
For a relatively long time I was under the impression that Servo is pretty advanced, but after the last weeks news, I'm not so sure anymore.
Tough question. I don't think the descendants of european, asian and african settlers are going back home any time soon.
Sure, advertising your secret plans in public might not be the best idea, regardles of the medium.
From the technical standpoint, internet has never been more secure and private. The amount of plaintext shit that was literally flying over the air just a decade ago was terrifying.
Researchers predict that by the year 2050, about half of the world's population will have myopia.
Considering the target demographic, a significant number of potential VR users suffer from myopia already. Why are there no more VR headsets with adjustable focus?
Several vendors offer replaceable lenses, or various addons to fit the glasses in, but the obvious solution used by the early cheap headsets like GearVR - adjustable distance between lenses and the display, is not being utilized for some reason.
Is it a technical problem, economical problem? Are the modern lenses somehow tuned for a specific distance?
Ever since the interview with Lukas Seyfrid (CZ), the chief of the hardware team, it was clear that Braiins is pivoting from the development of mining software, to building their own hardware.
This, I believe, is the first iteration of their effort in form of a consumer product, and while it is unlikely to make you a financial return on the investment, it's small form factor and nice anodized aluminum case can allow pretty much anyone to become familiar with the process of bitcoin mining. Or terrorize the testnet. The choice is yours.
I think I might buy one, just to try the viability of a pure solar setup.
HW specifications:
| Price (pre-order) | $199.00 |
| Hashrate | ~1Th/s |
| Power Consumption | 40W - 55W |
| Number of hashboards | 1 |
| Number of ASIC chips | 4 |
| Cooling Type | Active |
| Noise | 40 dB |
| Air outlet temperature | 40-50 °C |
But really, how much would it make in a year?
If we assume the current price and difficulty stays the same, the block subsidy is 3.125 BTC, median fees around 0.2212 BTC, free electricity, you'd get 0.001 BTC per 12 months, which is roughly 65 USD. A little more than 3 years to break even.
It's not going to break any records, but I'm still excited for what's to come next.

Reminds me of chakra linux. Same principals, except built on top of Arch base, and the other toolkit apps were distributed as self contained image files.
