I’ve looked it up and it’s even uglier and I can kinda understand why they did it this way Basically, for their “integrations” they aren’t using any official APIs. Instead they just use the websites and automate them via the Playwright framework. So for each user they have a VM running with a Chrome browser to access the services. So now they have the problem that they need to get their users session cookies into the browser. And the easiest solution for that is having the users access their VM via VNC and just log into the automated browser.
This is such a hacky solution that I’m actually in awe of it’s shittiness. That’s something you throw together in an all-nighter during a Hackathon, not a production ready solution

Not that far off actually, China started producing the first sodium ion battery powered car in series this year

I can confirm that Hyprland also works from GDM

This might sound a bit heretical, but you could carefully pick and match a variety of software and configuration to your individual needs, turning your tiling wm into a fully functional desktop environment, or you could just install a tiling wm into an existing desktop environment and get something useful with like ten percent of the work.
I know that I have done the former multiple times, only to fall back to existing desktop environments again because it’s just a lot less work and often works better, since you don’t have to take care of getting things like screen sharing or media buttons to function.
Especially LXQt and Xfce make it very easy to run a tiling window manager, but you can also find extensions/plugins for KDE or Gnome to make them tile. I’m personally running Gnome with the Pop Shell extension right now

Damn, who’s cutting onions here ;_;

• Transfem: Born in a male body, identifies as female

Also the Apple Pippin. And third-party Macintosh clones. And the Twentieth Century Macintosh. And the Apple III.
Especially before Steve Jobs took over Apple again they had what feels like more flops than successes.

Can confirm that I’m still using Emacs

Yeah, I’m making a lot myself too, but I sadly don’t have the storage space for large amounts of food. And the homemade goods are often more expensive, unless you can get veggies on the cheap from a farmer

Nennt sich Braindrain. Junge, gut ausgebildete Erwachsene ziehen wohin wo sie bessere wirtschaftliche Aussichten haben. Je nachdem wo sie herkommen können auch politische Probleme und der Mangel an Sozialsystemen ausschlaggebend sein.
Das Phänomen stellt ein großes Problem für die Herkunft dar, weil volkswirtschaftlich die Leute gerade dann, nachdem das Land viel Geld in ihr Aufwachsen und ihre Ausbildung gesteckt hat, wegziehen, wenn sie zu Zahlern werden würden welche GDP und Steuereinnahmen steigern.
Das ganze gibt es international, wo Deutschland ein riesiger Nutznießer ist, aber auch national, so wie von Ost- nach Westdeutschland oder von roten US-Bundesstaaten zu blauen.
Man kann es den einzelnen aber auch nicht übel nehmen, weil sie halt für sich selber nach einer besseren Zukunft streben. Es ist ein schwieriges Problem welches keine einfachen Lösungen hat

It gets even worse when a number of anime aren’t even licensed for your country so you can only stream them via VPN. Looking at you Crunchyroll

That’s not residential sewage, that’s manure. Animal excrements often aged to concentrate it

I agree with the Runtime being slower. These days Android doesn’t technically use the JVM anymore but the Android Runtime, ART for short, that actually performs ahead of time compilation to native code for the byte code for increased performance. Still, the Java Runtime it implements is very heavy and comes with it’s own overhead, so native Android code written in Java/Kotlin is generally slower than native iOS code written in Objective C/Swift.

The kernel architecture does influence more than just the hardware it can run on though. Microkernels for example are generally more secure but slower than monolithic kernels

Microkernels aren’t better per se than monolithic kernels. Their main advantage is increased security. Only a small portion of the Kernel actually runs in Ring 0, the most privileged level where the code has full access to the computer. Drivers and the like then technically run as separate, less privileged programs that interact with the kernels via messages. This greatly reduces the attack surface on the kernel and prevents crashes or memory access from a faulty driver.
This comes at a cost though. While microkernels are generally more secure, they are also less performant. Each message means overhead and a context switch you don’t have in a monolithic kernel.
The discussion between the two kernel types has been going on for the last thirty years and was famously the source for a long argument between Linus Torvalds, founder of the Linux Kernel and Andrew S Tannenbaum, creator of the Minix kernel.
In the end the XNU kernel isn’t even a full microkernel, but a hybrid kernel, trying to take the best of both world by originally taking the Mach microkernel and then implementing the 4.3BSD monolithic kernel on top of it. There are even project to do the same with Linux, like L4Linux

Overall the choice of kernel doesn’t hold Android back in comparison, Linux is an extremely capable piece of software that runs on anything from small microcontrollers to all of the world’s largest supercomputers. Though Google’s newest OS project, Fuchsia, actually uses a microkernel for increased security. And it doesn’t use Linux because of licensing, but that’s a whole other can of worms

Da sag ich mal nur: Ei Gude!

If I could actually get those for 1000$ I would do that. Just spent 260€ for a new 16tb one…

It’s kind of depressing to see the EV prices available in China and compare it with the prices available in Europe. Hell, there are only three sub-30000€ EVs available on the German market, after two models were discontinued last year

Wohlgemerkt haben die Bauern dieses Jahr im Durchschnitt Rekordprofite eingefahren. Und die Streichung der Subventionen würden sie mittelfristig über höhere Preise weitergeben

“Dammit, for some reason I can’t kill all the children, a few of them always survive, I must have a leak somewhere”

Yeah, that’s why I added “according to some sources”, I can’t speak Korean, so I can’t verify it
