Anywhere you see piles of snow it should be turned into pedestrian only space (since it's obvious the cars don't need it)

Been looking forward to this one. Might finally be time to switch over. I wish there was a Graphene build for it.

Surprised a Lemmy instance doesn't have it honestly

I would like to see 8K for movies in cinema, especially for remasters/digitizations from existing film negatives and archival purposes.

While I wouldn't say no to it, 8K on a TV under 75" is not going to add much value to the average consumer.

Same. It seems almost too good to be true.

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 4 points 1 week ago

Right, exactly. It also takes 3-4 seconds to load in which time I could have just middle clicked and loaded it in the background. Maybe on mobile I'd use it but only in rare circumstances.

Every platform is going to have someone trying to exploit it.

Reddit turned to shit because the people who own it allowed it to.

What exactly are the AI features everyone is talking about? The only one I've encountered is the "long click to preview link" and it's... not super useful but far from annoying like Copilot.

I upvoted you, but I do feel it's only a matter of time before the open source community outpaces Apple as well. Just a few short years ago the "year of the Linux desktop" was a joke. Now for many, Linux is unquestionably the better option.

Imagine having the option to be-exactly-like-MacOS-if-you-want-but-aren't-forced-to (basically what's happened with Linux and Windows this year). It would be game over for Apple, at least from a software perspective.

Zorin is a good OS but IMO it's a little too simplistic for most people who know what an operating system is.

But as the video gets at, the question of "when will Linux be better than Windows" is solidly "today". MacOS is probably still "better" for someone fully invested in the Apple ecosystem. But Linux is not far behind that either.

Well, the main criticism is probably too few Kelpians...

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 2 points 1 week ago

I certainly won't disagree with that

Been watching DS9 Season two and have been very impressed with the quality. I remembered it being "pretty good" but in my memory it was "the season with "The Circle" trilogy, "Melora", "Rivals" and "The Maquis", episodes and story lines that never really did it for me. I think that made me forget how many really good one-off episodes were also here, to name a few:

  • "Necessary Evil"
  • "Rules of Acquisition"
  • "The Alternate"
  • "Armageddon Game"
  • "Whispers"
  • "Paradise"
  • "Shadowplay"

All bangers!

Also I love how this season ever so slowly drip-drops dominion references culminating with the season finale "The Jem Hadar"
