It is on by default in Windows… More likely people have routers with it disabled.

Pro doesn’t reduce ad amounts IME.

It’s all client side. It even mentions infected clients.

Video decoding/encoding should work fine, better than Nvidia as fewer things support nvdec (the vaapi wrapper is enough though).

I’d guess its a solution similar to DASH that dynamically streams different content.

What does a privacy conscious version even look like?

Some things simply aren’t legal anymore like buying crypto without identification.

I have written apps in those toolkits. I can’t say it’s easier than the web of course but it’s not that bad.

Thats not relevant because Cosmic isn’t either.

I don’t have any specific examples off hand but HealthyGamer on YT is a psychiatrist with both a western medical degree and traditional training in India. He often compares the two, where they align, etc.

My view is that if the goal was to effectively make good software they wouldn’t start from scratch.

If they used wlroots the desktop would be usable today with a good feature set.

If they used Qt or GTK they would have feature rich well supported software. (GTK4 could have been an improvement for them, it’s designed around being minimal and having platform libraries implement design choices)

They didn’t take a practical approach imo. You could argue its a long term investment but because of it it’s probably years off of feature parity. The only upside today is… it’s written in Rust.

Nobody loves arguing semantics more than a programmer. VSCode is absolutely an IDE. Jetbrains is entirely plugin based, Eclipse is totally plugin based, and yeah so is VSCode.

My password manager generates an email in 2 clicks, its a useless identifier.

The project is motivated by “I like Rust, lets make a whole desktop in it” not by good UX.

The medical field is largely based on Western culture. Especially mental health diagnoses are pretty arbitrary.

FWIW many modern text editors just let you modify multiple lines at once.

Webextensions get their own webprocess as well as running in the website. I don’t have a link but if you read their source they just pass a lot of data to their process to determine things (last i looked some years ago).

There is a trade off of executing more things on the site vs transferring a lot of data. Either way it’s a heavy extension.

Fedora does not because they can’t support it. If a bug is found all they can do is shrug and point you at Nvidia. If they want to add a feature that breaks they would be stuck and have to hold back other drivers.

The kernel drivers were never an issue, but userspace drivers fixed this many years ago with glvnd.
