Oh... You're totally right. I was just able to reproduce this.

Maybe that's the reason I sometimes get a green dot when I am unlocking my phone.

Tyvm for sharing this. IIRC, it's possible to change the camera icon in the lock screen to something else. Since I never use this button (I am one of those weirdos that use the camera control button instead), I think I'll change to something else.

Thank you for sharing this.

I don't have the camera app in my app grid, but sometimes I see the green dot and have no idea what is triggering it. I even disabled the camera permission for all apps and started to turn it on from scratch only for apps I find necessary, but didn't know what was triggering it.

I am not why this logging thingy isn't enabled by default, but I am very happy it's possible to turn it on.

I think the way macOS and Windows loads stuff after login is a bit different though.

Since most macOS installations use FileVault by default, the login screen looks like it loads only stuff related to the login screen and not anything from the OS. Windows on the other hand, seems to load more stuff in the spinning thingy screen that appears before the login screen.

For instance, if you disable Filevault on macOS, the OS seems to load before the login screen, and then when you input your login and password, it loads to the desktop instantly. That would be a better comparison to a Windows machine, I think.

That said, I am not sure if this is how things really works, but that's how it looks like to work for me. Sorry if I spread any misinformation here :)

I don't mean to say your experience isn't real, but that isn't what I encountered at all with my last 12 years "waiting for Ubuntu to get good" (I am quoting myself here).

Every time I tried to install it to test if it was good, something broke for no reason. This happened to me on many PCs and many versions of Ubuntu.

The last time I tried 24.04, the installer crashed in the middle of the installation and I couldn't finish it.

If someone wants to test Ubuntu, I'd say you should try it, but do not get surprised if something very basic seems broken since that's my entire experience with the distro. I'd recommend Fedora instead.

Damn, I wasn't sure if I cared about another postman/insomnia like tool, but I saw the cute dog logo, and it sold the tool to me. Maybe I am just silly, but that got me. Congrats to the team for developing it!

This is so nice! Congrats to the team for the achievement!

To commemorate, I am running `brew install --cask zed` right now! :^)

If you want to check an application that runs on Electron and is quite speedy, try Obsidian.md. I didn't even know performance like that was possible in an Electron app. Unfortunately this example is the exception instead of the norm.

I think I might’ve jumped the gun. The Mullvad website is not working for me, but I think it’s my ISP…

Not sure if these channels are suitable, but I really love some music theory :^)

I love to watch Adam Neely's and 12Tone's channel about music theory. I don't understand everything they say, but the topics are usually very interesting. I also enjoy 8bitmusictheory and, as you can imagine from the name, it's focused on game music.

I hope you enjoy them :^)

edit: oh, forgot to say, but `my mechanics` is truly amazing!

The last update seems to have happened in 2019, unfortunately.

I think they already do. Just like chrome and firefox block sites that are considered insecure.

I don't think they need a VPN for this.

Maybe I'm being a bit naive, but the telemetry is supposed to help the VSCode developers to improve the product, right?

It feels a bit strange when some of us want the benefits of what this telemetry may give (a better product, perhaps?) while not willing to conceive information to improve it.

Maybe it's similar to how ads work. I use an ad blocker, but because I feel ads make the product worse, not better.

I am not sure if my pov makes sense though.

This looks pretty nice! Funny enough it seems to work better on Firefox than Chrome on my computer. I am not sure if that means Firefox is getting nicer or if Chrome is getting worse. I wonder if this is also happening to other users, specially on other OSes (I am using a mac).

I am not sure how most people think about it, but I prefer inferfaces like HN's and Dan Luu's blog (https://danluu.com/). They are very simple and the most important thing is the content. I just feel I don't get to waste time with things I don't care.

I remember most if not all cracked games used to have virus on their executables. People always said that you shouldn’t care about what the antivirus said, but now I am wondering, why the antivirus alerted about viruses? Does anyone know? Were they really safe or not?

This is one of the best HN posts I've read in a while. It feels so close to home, and I think it's amazing that people are sharing their feeling about this topic.

Sometimes I feel the same as OP, but then, when I encounter a post like this one, I remember that most people aren't going to do super-duper gigantic world-changing stuff and that's ok. Really!

Don't beat yourself because you didn't create RCT using assembly by yourself. As others said, people are so different and we all live under different circumstances.

The thing that I always try to remember when I feel like I am "nobody" is to do things that I enjoy and that matter to me. I don't need to change the entire world to feel accomplished. I can do what I feel is important and be happy with the impact it makes on my own life and other people's lives.

Don't worry OP, you're not alone. :)

People seem to be very positive about Bitwarden. I've been using Lockwise from Mozilla. Any thoughts about it?

I've been using it for a few months to sync between Win, Mac and iOS and it has been working pretty nicely.

Not sure what were the author's references, but "The Cool MIT Professor" reminds me of Daniel Lemire (https://lemire.me/blog/, even though he's not from MIT) and "the weird dude who writes HTML" reminded me of Dan Luu (https://danluu.com/).

Both blogs are amazing and you should consider visiting them if you're interested in performance stuff.

First I would like to thank you all that have commented and gave me their best advice.

I want to reply to all your comments, but I feel I still need more time for introspection and to think about what was discussed here.

The best thing about HN is there are so many beautiful, intelligent people with different perspectives and that helps a lot when trying to change my own perspective about life.

Agreed. I've suffered from depression for so long and most psychiatrists I visited just told me to take some pills that made me feel numb and didn't fix the underlying issue.

Now I've been working with a therapist since January alongside with some pills and I feel so much better. Not only the depression symptoms are mostly gone, but I feel I know so much more about myself and now I can understand what made me feel like I did before.

Anyway, if you, dear reader, are suffering from depression, I recommend you to visit a therapist with an open mind.

I feel like most people here don't like Windows 10, but for those who like it or even don't care about their OS, WSL2 works pretty nicely for many applications.

While using Linux on my desktop computer, I had issues with font rendering, low fps animations and firefox/chrome stuttering while scrolling through pages.

I understand there are probably some (hidden) fixes for these issues, but after countless times trying to solve these, I just gave up.

One of the main issues people complain about Windows 10 is about mandatory updates. I know every circumstance is different, but for me, it's working well and I have no issues with it. I guess if you're someone who is having issues on your current OS but needs to work using UNIX tools, you should give Win10/WSL a chance.

I hope so. I just noticed their beta period ended.

I am not sure if they changed anything from how it was previously in the beta.

I don't think the new design is bad, it's just different. It's fine tbh, but these top bars are pretty bad on a big screen.

Hopefully they'll change that soon enough.

Do you mind to share which browser you're using? It's working fine for me on Firefox.

It is even worse when there are no Apple Store nerby, only Apple certified resellers, which is my case.

The last time I had a problem with my MBP's screen, it took almost a month to be fixed.

A failing keyboard is enough reason for me to wait for a version which they fix all these issues. Even if it only breaks for a "small percentage of users", it wouldn't be nice to wait almost a month without my work machine...
