Which protocol or open standard do you like or wish was more popular?
  • Out of curiosity, why ogg as opposed to other containers? What advantages does it have?

    Definitely agree on the Opus part, but I am very ignorant on the ogg container.

  • On my phone I switched to Element X because Element would take up to a minute to sync messages. I'm willing to put up with the reduced feature set, as long as actual messages fucking arrive in time!

    The EU common charger : USB-C
  • I had a similar issue so I went ahead and bought converters. Now I have at least a buffer of one cable I can convert to either USB A or micro B.

    Don't be fooled Billy, it's not really a job, more of a parasitic relationship
  • Where I live a one bedroom apartment starts at half a million dollars. A house is well past one and a half million USD. Guess I'm failing at step one: have an extra house.

    Godot Engine hits over 50K euros per month in funding
  • To be fair, every single project regardless of proprietary or open source has a backlog like that. It's just that open source projects show the backlog and don't have marketing people telling what is and is not in the backlog.

    GODOT ussage this week
  • Before Godot 4 the 3D engine was pretty far behind, think early 2010 teach. With Godot 4 it got an insane upgrade which puts it in par with Unity as far as I understand (not a unity expert), but still behind Unreal (then again, everything is behind Unreal.)

    Unfortunately it takes multiple years for a 3D game to be developed, so it'll be a while before we see actual released 3D games with Godot 4.

    A sex education program causes controversy in Belgium. Schools are burning, the country is worried
  • No, it's not part of Islamic history, it is part of Islamic theology.

    Most Muslims are Sunni, and within Sunni Islam there are 4 schools of jurisprudence. All four of these schools have deemed it acceptable to marry a girl off as soon as she is born, and hand her over to her rapist when she turns 9 years old or bleeds.

    While most Muslims are anti pedophilia, the Islamic sources and clerics are not. It is a huge problem where I'm from.

  • There is a lot more to a game engine than just graphics, although that's an important piece of the puzzle.

    Input, sound, physics, networking, collision detection, path finding, scripting...etc are all important parts that are handled by the engine.

    extension is INCOMPATIBLE with current GNOME version
  • Thank you! I wasn't aware of Plasma Drawer.

    I love the design, but it seems in my machine there are zero animations (not even a fade in when opening it) is this intentional or something wrong with my setup? Not a deal breaker, but a bit jarring with how smooth the rest of the desktop is.

  • To be fair, usb3 has been around since 2008. Surely apple could have afforded to pay 3 more cents per phone to support that.

  • I'll transfer a bunch of audio books to and from my phone every once in a while. Since they are FLAC files I certainly do appreciate the additional speed from having a protocol that's not yet old enough to drink.

    And in case someone missed the reference: USB 2.0 was released in the year 2000.

    extension is INCOMPATIBLE with current GNOME version
  • I'm a plasma user and I would also prefer a fullscreen start menu. Ideally a fullscreen krunner with all its amazing bells and whistles.

    We each have to make the compromise that suits us best. I doubt most people think one desktop or another is perfect.
