I absolutely love the videos on this channel, this one being one of the best published yet. I’m literally blown away by the level of detail and clarity. I think I’m going to watch it more one time…

I’m so excited for Cosmic!

You are only starting to think that NOW?

E2E is their flagship feature and pretty much only selling point. I’m really not surprised they don’t allow to just disable it.

Huge thanks to Vaxry and all contributors, Hyprland is great!

I didn’t expect this to be something I would actually use but I was mildly excited to try it out just out of curiosity. Then it asked me to log in. Login to a fucking terminal emulator. I have no words.

I’m very excited for COSMIC!

I was sure I’m getting baited when I clicked the link but it’s one of the rare cases when it actually turned out not to be a clickbait.

This feature literally found and isolated “important files” and now they are deleting those files. Just because it was never available in the US doesn’t mean it’s irrelevant.

Yeah, so basically Google invented a feature that finds your important files and deletes them. The future is here!

Of course I’m exaggerating for humoristic effect but in all seriousness I think the whole action is extremely poorly executed. I would be surprised if there weren’t some cases of people actually losing something important because of this.

Wait, so Google just moved around important users’ files on their devices without being asked to do so. And now they decided to just delete those files together with the feature? This sounds pretty crazy, even for Google.

Good job Cosmic team!

I really hope Cosmic can be the first DE to close the gap between tilling window managers and DEs we have today. Very excited for it!

leap forwards in tech

It’s a shitty smartphone without a screen.

I would actually say it’s VERY complicated but in daily work you probably need like 5 commands and those aren’t hard at all.

I see. For me it’s mostly programming stuff. As long as the issue in question isn’t very obscure then DuckDuckGo is doing fine. However, if it’s mentioned in a single 5 year old GitHub issue then Google is pretty much the only chance to find it in my experience.

I’m seeing comments like this all the time and I’m always baffled. I’m using DuckDuckGo as a main search engine but I have to fall back to Google quite often because DuckDuckGo is just worse for me. And any other search engine I tried was even worse that that. It’s true that Google results don’t feel as accurate as they used to, but I genuinely haven’t found better alternatives. What do you recommend?

I see that Framework and System76 were already mentioned. I would add Slimbook and Tuxedo Computers to the list.

I was just in a market for a Linux laptop and I really wanted a Framework but it’s not available in my country so I settled on Slimbook Executive 14 instead. I have it for around a month now and I’m very satisfied.

Is your dock powered by your laptop? I didn’t even know this was possible, all docks I’ve seen have their own power supply and actually offer PD to the connected device, not the other way around.

Off topic but I’m surprised by the amount of smart tv hate in this thread.

I have a Philips TV with Android TV. I use it for YouTube, Twitch, Spotify and occasionally for other streaming services. I actually really like the experience. Everything is a few clicks on a remote away, the UI is clean, it works reasonably fast.

I’m not going to argue about privacy though, that’s definitely terrible.

FWIW I never experienced any of the above besides the tracking, that’s there for sure.

Yeah, there are reasons to criticize snaps but the fact that it takes a lot of space in some UI is not really one of them.
