Ladies, gentlemen, none of the above. We have come full circle. The mainframe + Terminal combination is back

Is this the one with the competing standards? Are we having a meta meme now?

Oh, snapdrop is back? The site has been unreachable for years to me

I guess, the browser is kind of the replacement for the OS in OP’s case, which is again, a nonfree OS/browser.

AFAIK macOS doesn’t care if you add another partition in diskutil and install Linux on that through the usual live ISO’s. But please make sure you:

• Don’t delete your main OS (make a Backup!)
• Install Linux with (U)EFI compatibility
• Don’t touch any recovery partitions
  • Don’t mess with the Mac’s EFI/ESP partition

to be fair, the first colour picker isn’t too bad, it it?

Answering the question you meant to ask, blueray is a physica… just kidding.

LocalSend is basically like bluetooth file sharing over WiFi. Bluetooth, especially the fallback 2.0 is notoriously slow and short ranged. The situation got better with BLE, 5.0 and Long Range. Still, both devices need to speak BT. Ap*le’s iOS is well known to ignore BT file sharing capabilities while implementing own proprietary solutions. On desktop, the situation is still bad. I once tried to send a file between two Windows machines via BT, and it was a horrible user experience. LocalSend (and similar) fix this by implementing cross platform apps and using readily available API’s to share files with few clicks and reasonably high speed between a plethora of devices. I guess, if you don’t have the aforementioned problems, you won’t need LocalSend et al.

Really great software. Works like a charm most of the time, the apps are quite okay, sends files locally. The first low-barrier solution to share stuff between wildly different devices since e-mail.

HiFi is filled with traps full of snake oil. A speaker can only sound “so good”. imo a pair of used passive speaker boxes in the range of 100…500 bucks will get you “very good” sound. People will disagree with my opinion, though. I believe it’s all about subjective preferences, convenience (smaller speakers need a bit more tuning and tricks to sound like the big ones), and brand tax.

If you’re happy with the current situation, why not keep your speakers until you hear a pair that gets you a sound profile you like better?

Did you try Adobe InDesign, and how did it fail you? I believe it’s the absolute industry standard for doing any layout stuff, which creating presentations essentially is.

EDIT: Alright, I see. No linux counterpart.

wait, what? I’ve had a GIMP 2.x for at least 15 years now. they can’t just… increase the number?? it’s part of the program’s name now

[Completely unrelated to the content] How the heck is this post managing to crash two out of my three lemmy clients?

Libertinus Serif (much nicer Times New Roman-ish serif text font. Huge amount of glyphs, open source font license, great to read on display and on print)

Lato (Sans font which imo compliments Libertinus Serif really good. More for short texts, headlines etc. I wouldn’t recommend it as a UI font. Also permissive font license.)

AFAIK if you buy any computer from within the last 20 years, there’s a good chance you can get a 6.X Kernel running on it. 32-bit support is fading out, though. If you buy a 64-bit computer, you’ll be able (with sufficient RAM and hard disk space) to install any modern distro on it.

Late stage capitalism is in my blood 😎

Guess they’ll need a sustainable business model first. I could see an Apple Watch for Android under certain circumstances:

• Subscription based in some way, like iCloud Drive for Apple Watch or whatever
• Limited set of features on Android while getting full set of features on iOS
• Limited to more expensive Pro or Pro Plus Max or Ulta Pro models to account for lost sales of iPhones on the way
• Standalone functionality with Wifi and eSIM capabilities
