I’m mainly using duckduckgo for 7 years now. If I can’t find something with it, I try startpage, which sometimes helps.

Then just download it e.g. from github: https://github.com/rsms/inter/releases

For a fair comparison you should at least use the same font and font size. Did you try that? It will still look different on windows, maybe better, but I think you can get pretty close. I use the “inter” font on debian xfce and it looks very clean (the font is probably in your repos as well).

Rust. It’s so good, it can’t be popular enough.

good one :'D

But of course everyone decided it is just easier to nag all the users with a big splash screen.

Nope, the thing is, you’ll very rarely find a website that only uses technically necessary session/login cookies. The reason every fucking website, yes, even the one from the barber shop around the corner, has a humongous cookie banner is that every fucking website helps google and other corporations to track users across the whole internet for no reason.

Bringing more modern tools and features into C++ is good. Acting as if that would make it equally suitable for new projects or even equally safe as languages that don’t (yet) suffer from carrying around a ton of legacy garbage nobody should use (both in terms of features and std items) is ridiculous though.

Kinda sad how that guy destroys his reputation so late in his life. I mean he actually contributed a lot to the field of software development, but just refuses to accept that C++ days are thankfully over. The language has grown into a complete abomination, but all the experience we gained during its long history (good and bad) are extremely valuable for designing new languages from now on. One can’t rescue a design by just adding things to it (regardless of the kind of design), that’s just a simple truth. Thus, a backwards compatible C++ can never become even half as good as rust is already today (and there’s of course always room for improvement). But that’s not because bjarne did something stupid, but because humanity as a whole didn’t know better back than. He could just accept that, embrace new technology, retire in dignity, be remembered as highly admired and appreciated. Instead he acts like a butthurt idiot, trying to defend that cars shouldn’t have seatbelts, because if everyone drives carefully, nothing bad will happen anyway. Pathetic.

I can recommend debian testing. I’m using it on laptop and desktop for several years, always running “apt update && apt full-upgrade && apt --purge autoremove” and it never broke. It’s not officially a “rolling release” but practically it is.

Afaik there are two location permission levels in android, one that only allows GPS which is often really slow and inaccurare and one that uses cell and wifi as well which is quick and accurate. Maybe OsmAND is not allowes to use the accurate location on your phone?

I’m on lineage microG and I’ve got the opposite experience! Some apps really struggle with getting my location while OsmAND always works like a charm. I also use organic maps for quick routing, because the map rendering is MUCH faster and it consumes less battery power.

Id say it’s experience by the programmer that is at fault, and that’s due to this bootcamp nature of learning programming.

You are getting downvoted, because this is factually proven wrong by studies and internal analysis of several huge companies (e.g. google/android and microsoft). A huge number of exploitable bugs are preventable using memory safe languages, nowadays even without performance costs (Rust).

Apart from that your point is orthogonal to the point of the post. You can have better trained coders and have them use better, safer technologies.

We could also just train every driver more thoroughly including mental training and meditation to make sure they are more calm and focussed when driving and we maybe wouldn’t need seatbelts anymore. But:

1. Is that a realistic scenario?
2. Why not use seatbelts anyway, so there’s a higher chance of not dying if some driver didn’t sleep well that day?

Obviously not. Building a modern browser engine from scratch is an immense undertaking, so it’s definitely possible that it will never be usable as a replacement for every day webbrowsing. But for now I won’t give up hope :)

“trustworthy AI”

Why? Why can’t we have even a single decent browser? Servo is my last hope.

It’s not a rolling release though, right? I mean mint is nice, but I am absolutely pleased with my experience using debian testing as daily driver for years while it just stays perfectly up to date and never breaks (as opposed to arch or even manjaro).

Debian (testing branch): Add normal firefox to the repo. Firefox ESR is total bullshit that makes zero sense to use. I always install it either as flatpak or from the unstable repos using apt-pinning (which works great though!)

I love it and use it all the time, especially calc. But one thing I’d really like to see is a fix for the fact that the icons up top look absolutely horrendous on high DPI screens, no matte the icon theme used (svg or not).

“improvement” lol xD

I hate that BS with a passion. Never find anything I need and always spend way more clicks than needed for simple tasks.

Hahaha so true

I tried jerboa, voyager (formally known as wefwef) and eternity and settled for voyager. It just feels very smooth, has all the functionality I need and looks clean. No reason to look further for me.

All bluetooth headphones should work.
