  • A government funded utility that utilizes regional GIS and aerial mapping would go a long way. Google’s got the upper hand on directions and traffic reporting though, so that would take more time to make effective. A lot of that is genuinely due to the number of users that exist on the platform though. I think if you tried to implement similar location data analysis for government infrastructure, people would be up in arms at the idea, despite being perfectly happy to provide the same data to Google.

    It’s unfortunate that Google is as prevalent a default service as they are, but it’s hard to ignore how good a service they offer, and how long the development period has been to get them there.

    I use Wayland exclusively, but unfortunately I don’t think I have an answer for you since I’m not entirely familiar with this idea. Is your concern just for the configuration of a universal set of hotkeys configured within the compositor rather than a desktop environment?

    I wasn’t aware that x11 facilitated this. I’d have figured keyboard mappings are abstracted from the compositor and left to the DE to handle, aside from core binds that allow dropping back to tty










  • Except we do. Canada’s military isn’t large, but it’s quite modern. We’ve been a significant part of training Ukraininian forces on how to use NATO equipment. I think you’re a bit confused.

    And while I don’t agree with our participation, Canada hasn’t been a peacekeeping corp in a long time either, having been a player in the war in Afghanistan and Syria. We’ve pretty consistently assisted American troops in these areas. Canada is a member of NATO, and a developer of arms and munitions as part of the indistrial military complex. We aren’t reliant on an island across the ocean for our own protection.

    Can confirm there’s also no such setting on a Pixel running “stock” Android. Inclined to believe this is a feature specific to (potentially) something like Samsung’s OneUI. Doesn’t appear for most people that there’s an easy way to disable it.

    Personally, I like it better than the one that used to appear next to the task switcher, but I can understand the annoyance.



  • The GPU notwithstanding, there’s actually a pile of scientific usecases that this kind of power and portability would be very useful for. The dual network ports also provide a nice means of connecting to lab equipment that primarily communicates over ethernet, while still maintaining an easy way to have a reliable connection to a network.

    It’s almost definitely not targeted at this use-case, but I could certainly see it being looked at for it.
