What does ‘modems in mobile phones’ mean? Isn’t the whole thing a modem strapped onto a screen? What am I missing?

Amazing. I’m not OP and have no use for this info, but it was fun to learn it still.

I think for most web apps it doesn’t make sense to allow the width to get so wide, except when the content being displayed is a columnar list and even then it’s a pretty marginal benefit.

What I’ve done is limit the max-width to some amount of px/chars and allowed the remaining space be empty, with an exception for when displaying tables. Even with tables, the bigger width is only beneficial if either the contents of the columns are large enough, or there are very many columns to show. The solution in my mind is limiting the column widths to the longest content.

I feel like there are some missed opportunities

• Sensors that don’t work because a proprietary driver is missing
• Having to add repositories to get wifi working
• Voice assistant that only works if you know terminal command parameters by heart
• More tool windows
• More xorg.conf to get displays working
• A flame war about the relative benefits of obscure infrastructure componemts
• 7 package managers, 3 if which are needed to install 90% of needed software. The remaining 10% somehow still needs to be installed via shell scripts
• Completely new UI in each version, still looks like it was designed by german ocelots in the 90s

I mean, I am fine with my hobby website being taken down if it starts to consume an unreasonable amount of bandwidth.

They don’t need to give a free tier and I am not entitled to getting anything out of them. Since they have decided to offer one, I do expect to be consulted before sending a bill worth a ferrari.

I just checked I have no payment method on file. Should protect me.

OP is clearly boasting about how smart they are.

We used to, here in Finland, but I think now they crush them and reform them into new bottles. The things cost 20c/piece, so everyone returns them.

I feel personally attacked.

I have tried making a framework once, and was annoyed with myself for more than one of those reasons.

“Unintentional encapsulation in hawks has been known to occur, with decapsulation being messy and the packets mangled.”

I use gimp daily, but it is still far, far behind photoshop from when I was studying and that was pre 2010.

The biggest problem is the UI. The only major improvement was the transition from multi window to single window with tabs, around 2012 or so.

It feels like using a hammer with a purple dildo for a handle. I can do it after 10 years of getting the hang of swinging around the wobbly thing. Meanwile the rest of the world transitioned to battery driven nailguns and I’m still swinging my dilmer with a slightly more rigid handle.

I’m not sure if you are joking, but in this case armor does not mean body armor, but tanks.

I have found Linux to have excellent HW support for all older hardware. Only notable exception is fingerprint readers. Granted, it’s been years since I tried gaming.
