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

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.

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

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!

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

I’m pretty sure Kim knows at least. He grew up in Switzerland after all and speaks Korean with a Swiss accent, according to some sources

Yeah, I’m still stuck on Google Keep, since it’s the only one that’s integrated with the (even worse) Google home

Yeah, they are part of the European Economic Area, but not part of the EU proper. Same as Iceland. The main reason for opposing full membership for the longest time has actually been fishing rights, which are often more strict in the EU

Yeah, if the attacker is in a position to do a MitM attack you have much larger problems than a ssh vulnerability that so far can at most downgrade the encryption of your connection in nearly all cases

You could get an android tablet that can run LineageOS and install that on there without GApps/microg, so without any Google services. That way you can have a Google free tablet that’s also properly optimized for a touch workflow.
If you still want a tablet with a proper GNU/Linux distro you basically have two choices I know of right now: One is the Pinetab 2, it’s not too expensive, but the hardware is a bit limited, both in terms of processing power and display. Software support can also be spotty.
The other would be buying a x86 tablet and installing a regular Linux distro on there. I personally had some luck with the Microsoft Surface tablets, but you can get cheaper ones too. Just check on whether Linux will properly run on it beforehand, especially the cheaper Chinese ones based on Atoms often have driver issues or don’t even boot Linux at all (my biggest enemy on cheap devices: 32bit UEFI with 64bit OS. It’s nearly impossible to boot Linux on those). There’s also the Librem 11 but in my opinion it’s overpriced for the hardware

And for the love of god don’t go for latest, just stick to the release tags
