bionade24··on Fleet, a Lightweight IDE from JetBrains
You never started any Java-based IDE, did you? You can smack tons of plugins into VSCode, enable them all and it still loads faster.

Not using any of the above mentioned anymore, so I'm not teaming for one site.

bionade24··on How trains could replace planes in Europe
Planes don't have to pay any fuel taxes in Germany and other things. The government-owned train company "Deutsche Bahn" increased the prices shortly after government lowered taxes on train tickets. For fuel and electric, trains still have to pay full taxes. So not suprising that planes a cheaper with better tax conditions.
bionade24··on M1 Pro and M1 Max MBP owners complain of crashes playing HDR YouTube videos
It's sad that they don't provide context like MacOS crashes with Safari but not with Firefox or Chromium-based browsers. Would be interesting if it's actually the UMA memleak problem reported not long ago.

Notice: I don't know if any browser besides Safari can play HDR content on MacOS.

But if I understand you correctly, only the player, not Windows entirely?
bionade24··on M1 Pro First Impressions: Core Management and CPU Performance
I definately have to pay more for a similar to a maxxed out Macbook Pro 14" specced Ryzen driven Laptop in Germany. Due to current graphic card prizes Desktop is even worse. Can't say that I feel robbed buying a MBPro when Linux runs on it while I felt that immedeately buying a Tigerlake Notebook.
bionade24··on Why did the web take over desktop and not mobile?
I thing one main missed point here is that the web-as-app shift on desktop happened before computers were super-mainstream and daily-used. It happened when most of its users were fine with new techniques to get stuff done.
bionade24··on Docker Desktop no longer free for large companies
When it's actually 100%ly compliant in it's APIs, especially regarding podman-compose and the socket API.
bionade24··on NetBSD Booting on the Apple M1
Be sure that apple doesn't try to sue you for that in any way. Fighting against them on court could already be your end.
bionade24··on Sailfish 4
It's once way easier to handle a real Linux box which can be backed up in the same way. Bash/Zsh scripts work and I can compile much more software for it than termux on Android supports.

Additionally, the user interface is swipe-focused, with little bars where yozu can swipe that are that thin that they only trigger you subconcious, while not registering them actively with my view. It's the best unser interface design I've seen so far and recent iOS/Android design changes support the decisions they made years before Apple/Google.

How about Wayland ? Or does it need Xwayland?

Google trends indicate that Excel is harder to use without a manual than word, nothing else.
bionade24··on Did Windows 10 slow down with each feature update?
Ripcord is the most advanced, SailSlack for SailfishOS and lots of CLI clients.
bionade24··on Goodbye C++, Hello C
The statement was made about a float pointer. Still float precision is a problem beginners run into, too. So maybe it'll will help one reading it somewhen.

float a = 0.1f * 0.1f; assert((a - 0.01f) < 0.0001); <-- Works assert(a == 0.01f); <-- Will fail

bionade24··on Did Windows 10 slow down with each feature update?
There are Slack clients out there, which use a hundreth of the official one and they can run on these old machines, too. The problem aren't more ressource itensive features not possible before, but delivering a services we have for decades with way worse ressource usage because you can.
bionade24··on Google is officially releasing Fuchsia OS, starting with a first-gen Nest Hub
Having a smart speaker with a display doesn't make sense for a bling person imao.
bionade24··on Google is officially releasing Fuchsia OS, starting with a first-gen Nest Hub
They haven't worked on the base stuff of Android and ChromeOS. Both use Linux software abandoned by upstream, e.g. ChromeOS uses upstart and have their patched non-mainline kernels. This requires lots of extra work, then even doubled since they have 2 platforms. Wanting to have one mature platform for both makes sense to me.

Edit: name spelling

bionade24··on Wikipedia is up (2001)
And wikibooks. I think they're are actually multiple websites, so if I had to decide, it would be web.archive.org. Yes, this would mean nearly all internet sites, but without CGI backends.
bionade24··on Why Generation X will save the web
+1. I was born 2002.
bionade24··on Use Alacritty instead of Termite
I retried and it now works fine on all my new and old machines. Seems like the bugs are solved.
bionade24··on Use Alacritty instead of Termite
I believe it was about copy/pasting with wl-clipboard, which didn't worked. May have to try it now again.
bionade24··on Use Alacritty instead of Termite
RiR wouldn't be a meme and so controversial if the Rewriters didn't often rewrite common tools strongly opinionated, excluding everyone from a potential merge discussion of new features.
bionade24··on Use Alacritty instead of Termite
When stepping away from KDE to sway, tried diffrent terminal emulators, but especially compared konsole, termite & alacritty. Back then (October 2020) I found alacritty to have really slow startup times on high-end machines (and got confirmation that's it's not my fault on IRC). Even massive Konsole started up faster. It also treats Wayland badly. So I settled with Termite, which I really like so far. It's sad that it's discontinued, but it's a shame that alacritty should be _the_ replacement for it.
bionade24··on MH370 pilot made many turns and speed changes, new report reveals
I guess this was a bandwith problem when most of today's commercial air planes were designed and later on no one considered it. Probably will come sooner or later.
bionade24··on Apple AirDrop shares more than files
Seems like Apple completely ignored that inside a country the first three digits are guessable and the hashed string has a defined length, which makes hash cracking a lot easier.
bionade24··on .NET MAUI: .NET Multi-Platform App UI
Try QtQuick2 if you want to target mobile, too. QtWidgwts for desktop only.
bionade24··on I bought 300 emoji domain names from Kazakhstan and built an email service
Besides lots of other adresses i have forname @ forname-surname .de as an adress easy to understand. I totally understand your problems, I have this even with people who already have forename and surname on their screens, it's ridiculous.
