Our team created a custom notification solution and managed to implement it in an energy-efficient way, an alternative to Google’s FCM that lets us fully bypass Google’s infrastructure.

FFS, it’s a calendar. It has no business connecting anywhere.

Please, please, please. Can’t wait until I go proper VMs.

Love how when the dev of this felt compelled to link to atl, their browser gave them the link with /-/issues at the end. Really shows the effort that went into porting.

Do literally anything but use foolproof desktop apps in a system that cannot revert to a known state.

No, I don’t thing scrubs / balances resume on boot up, they’d have to be started again.

No blocking and static content.

If it HAS to have user-generated content, then 1) it’s an app, not a website 2) have it untraceable to me from it to me 3) shove it in a jurisdiction that doesn’t care. Still no blocking.

Oh yeah. I’ve started Marvel Midnight Suns, and 4 hours of cutscene later they show how you deploy on a mission: by walking on a rainbow bridge or something. I’m like: “brilliant, now that’s a way to disguise loading with something I’m doing, even if it’s just walking” , and then, at a random place of that bridge, an actual loading screen appears for a good minute. What’s wrong with you.

Can’t believe Nethack doesn’t top the list.

Sounds like 1FA with extra steps.

Laughs in three KDE screen magnifier.

Tell me you’re insecure without saying you’re insecure.

Native Tab Grouping

I’m old enough to remember previous native tab grouping.

Not all, but almost all of them. 1 (one) megapixel display, wider than my laptop, heavier than an extra phone with the best gamepad on earth mounted to it. Steam Deck has a long way forward to even match my classroom gaming experience from 2014, let alone surpass it. Aya Neo Air, GPD Win 4, there’s so much better hardware out there it hurts.

Did it just come full circle by reinventing back the original?

What’s so concerning about the alternative?

Nope, that was about trains. Planes came up later.

Throw in a leg strap, and this becomes the best bang-for-the-buck solution.

Yes, and I’ve personally taken three-day same-country trains before, back when it was the cheaper option. And guess what, non-private planes are also public transport.

If there was a functioning public transport, they could just, you know, meet.
