text clarity on windows is so good, can I get the same on linux?
  • For a fair comparison you should at least use the same font and font size. Did you try that? It will still look different on windows, maybe better, but I think you can get pretty close. I use the "inter" font on debian xfce and it looks very clean (the font is probably in your repos as well).

  • Which communication protocol or open standard in software do you wish was more common or used more?
  • But of course everyone decided it is just easier to nag all the users with a big splash screen.

    Nope, the thing is, you'll very rarely find a website that only uses technically necessary session/login cookies. The reason every fucking website, yes, even the one from the barber shop around the corner, has a humongous cookie banner is that every fucking website helps google and other corporations to track users across the whole internet for no reason.

  • Teenagers. (I'm 17)
  • That's actually good. You've probably got more free time to work on lemmy than most adults. Impressive that you apparently got the skills too, so congratz! Also for choosing to learn rust! :)

  • A Nigerian woman reviewed some tomato puree online. Now she faces jail
  • Hahaha wow! That's your comment about this? Incredible!!!

    Sure, if someone writes something on the internet that some business owner somewhere doesn't like, lets just torture them. Makes total sense!

    In case you are actually this dumb: Her comment was a so called hyperbole. People like using these, often for humor reasons, especially on the internet and sometimes they are used to clarify something that's actually subtle. Nobody reading that comment actually thinks that she seriously means people would get killed by that stuff. And if they would, she should still be allowed to express what she thinks on the internet.

  • who would win: evil corp edition
  • Apple is exactly as shit as every other tech company, because they have to be in order to win the capitalism game.

    But yeah, they sure have got a lot of zealots...

    The foundational tenet of "the Cult of Mac" is that buying products from a $3t company makes you a member of an oppressed ethnic minority and therefore every criticism of that corporation is an ethnic slur.

  • True Story
  • I'd say at 1000 lines it usually makes sense to extract some parts into other files. But sure, I guess most obscurities have positive aspects. On the other hand, nothing is stopping you from writing a separate file with only function signatures next to your python scripts. It's just not required, because why would it ;)

    Real-world CO2 emissions of cars are 20% higher than indicated. For plug-in hybrids they are 250% higher.
  • In germany we had subsidies for hybrid company cars, so companies bought hybrids. But: If employees would charge these in their home garage, they would pay for the electricity. If they get gas, the company pays. So they are practically just regular cars with a ton (probably literally) of extra weight. Unfortunately there's barely a single law related to cars in germany that makes any sense (apart from just randomly gifting tax payer money to car companies). It's like gun laws in the US. The area-wide corruption is immense.

    Ferrari's first electric car will literally roar, CEO promises
  • And there you have it! The absolutely most pathetic kind of fragile masculinity. When adults are stuck in the "car makes wroom wroon"-age and are dumb enough to believe others would admire them for that behavior.
