Why do people brush their teeth first thing in the morning?
  • Cuz my mouth and throat feel disgusting in the morning. Eating or drinking right after brushing doesn't bother me either.

  • Ice Universe: Guessing from the 79mm width and some other information, the S24 Ultra is likely to be a flat screen.
  • Good. I can't think of the curved screen as anything other than a nuisance.

  • Connect 1.0.59 Released
  • I'm really liking the great leaps in improvements and bugfixes!

  • What DEs are people using?
  • I just use GNOME with a few extensions. Works fairly well for me.

  • Avatar: The Last Airbender: Quest for Balance Announced - IGN
  • Maybe that's just how the game is 🤷‍♂️

  • Avatar: The Last Airbender: Quest for Balance Announced
  • Doesn't look good enough to be a proper Avatar adaptation. Everything looks too stiff and the animations are weird. The fire effects look less like fire and more like red/orange blobs.

    The backgrounds and town architecture look nice, I guess. Assuming you look at them from a distance.

    I'll wait until the reviews come out before I make a final judgment on the game, but I don't exactly have high hopes from what I've seen.

  • What are your thoughts on the upcoming COSMIC DE?
  • And the GNOME project doesn't just use C/C++ right? It uses Javascript for developing all sorts of components and Python for scripting/misc utilties. That's what I meant by more memory-efficient.

  • Inheritance
  • You know, I've always read that COBOL projects still get maintained to this day because the costs of rewriting these projects just are too high. I wonder if there's a cutoff point where maintaining them starts costing more than the rewrite. I just don't see how organizations can justify maintaining these projects without these kind of changes forever.

  • What are your thoughts on the upcoming COSMIC DE?
  • I'm incredibly interested in COSMIC DE! For multiple different reasons, actually.

    1. Rust - I'm very interested to see how performant/memory-efficient this DE will be compared with other DEs. Also, I wonder how the Iced toolkit will evolve and be adopted in other projects.
    2. Benefits over GNOME - I'm looking forward to seeing how much out-of-box customizability and features come with COSMIC over GNOME (which I'm currently using).
    3. Maintainability going forward - Since the DE basically started from scratch and is using a much better language for robust software, I wonder how much easier and faster it would be to maintain the desktop environment. This potential improved maintainability could be huge in overtaking other DEs sometime soon.
  • It’s not just Apollo: other Reddit apps are shutting down, too (from The Verge)
  • Yeah that makes sense. I guess I'm just a little surprised that I haven't seen any official announcement from Infinity yet.

  • It’s not just Apollo: other Reddit apps are shutting down, too (from The Verge)
  • Does anyone know if Infinity for Reddit is shutting down too?

  • I like this significantly better than Mastodon
  • Yeah in general, I like forums better than the format Twitter is in. I like topic-based discussions more than discussions spawned from short, potentially out-of-context messages.

  • uhhh... what do I call the "subreddits"?
  • I just thought they were called "communities". At least, that's what the Lemmy UI shows.

  • Jerboa UI improvements v2
  • Yeah that looks great!

  • it will improve :)
  • Yeah hopefully it becomes better. The biggest problem for me so far is the choppy scrolling.
