Linux all the way, for loads of practical and ethical reasons

The USB spec requires one master and one slave device, which is usually decided by which type of connector each side has. USB OTG can bypass that restriction, but I’ve only ever seen it done with micro USB or type C.

Ist es wohl nicht mehr normal, gegen Nazis zu sein?

The thing it can do best is bewilder developers with it’s strange choices

Integer underflow

It’s a decent language I guess. My main criticism is that the constructor paradigm just isn’t well suited for RAII. I always find myself retrofitting Rust’s style of object creation into my C++ code.

I love documentation like this. No need to be formal when a simple analogy works too

TIL Pulsar exists

Die kommunistischen Parteien die ich bisher gesehen habe, distanzieren sich nicht weit genug vom “Kommunismus” der Sowjetunion. So was werden die meisten Deutschen nie wählen. Wäre schön, wenn ich irgendwann mal meine echte Meinung auf den Wahlzettel bringen kann, aber so lange es keine besseren Optionen gibt, muss ich leider strategisch wählen.

Lemmy is one of the healthiest fediverse communities. It’s starting to get to the point where it can emulate the hours of infinite scrolling people do on reddit. Whether that is a good thing is debatable.

Where is the piped bot when you need it

How do they work?

It being free is only barely enough incentive to use it. If they ever have effective anti-adblock and force users to watch five ads before every video, I’m gone. I will never give any money to a monopolistic company if I don’t have to.

Stock gnome feels a bit slow to me, but I love using it with custom keybinds for launching applications. Making good use of workspaces and multiple monitors makes it even better.

Compare the legacy Wikipedia design with the new one. Limiting the line width makes it so much easier to read, cause you don’t loose your place as often when you jump to the next line. This is especially infuriating to me, cause some languages still use the old design. I always loathe using German Wikipedia cause of this.

I agree that it can be bad when lines are excessively short, or when designers make no adjustments for desktop browsers.

Flat UIs with a few shadows in the right places can look geat

That’s not mobile first, it’s mobile only. Pretty much half of my web design course was the professor ranting about designs that don’t adapt to the device they are being viewed on, and how to do that right.

Single page apps are cool when they are done right, but such a huge hindrance when navigation is based on buttons and js.
