We got solid state to come challenge the car market in a few years. Supposedly both safer and bigger capacity. Just remains to be seen when it actually arrives in the average car. It’s a tech that hasn’t quite managed to get out of laboratories.
It’s not helping unfortunately, it’s just a blanket change in colors by some filter. The taskbar highlight is bad to begin with. Ideally the should use red/orange for warning highlights and used bright white. But a weak pink isn’t going to be more visible even if it was turned redish. It’ll still be weak.
And it does change every other thing on screen, which won’t be good for me since colors aren’t an issue normally, and even worse if it affect screen sharing. Taskbar changes is just straight up bad UX that tries to look good.
My experience with W11 on the work laptop.
Taskbar sucks, maybe because I’m colorblind but I can te what my selected program is and programs with notifications (Teams) look like the focused program. Apparently notification boxes there are pink now. Can’t find any accessibility setting but fuck the colorblind I guess. It feels wrong to click the highlighted icon I for years have learned will mean that I minimize it…
And why all the dots? And why is the notification dot the largest, so I can even tell which window is actually focused?
Outlook doesn’t open with focus, especially the window that is supposed to pop up and warn me of upcoming meetings. Really annoying.
Teams notifications just don’t show if you are in a meeting and that is focused, they used to do that on W10.
Might be a Firefox bug, but there’s a lot of new visual bugs. Github diff view is randomly strongly colored, and randomly changes to the old weaker background colors when scrolling/resizing the windows. And a surprising amount of scrollbars in grids that weren’t there before.
I just wish W11 at least worked with the regular features of W10.
I’m no expert on the grain side, but Netflix had a nice writeup about its power.

I also heard that when you use film grain, you should disable the denoising done on the output to properly preserve detail in the encoding. Which depends on the encoder, but should generally be possible on the ones that do film grain.
But it might not be as good for artistic film grain that doesn’t fit normal “grain” in videos.
Tesla somehow manages to do well(at least prior to the nazi events). Still at a good price in Norway.
But all other manufacturers have dragged their feet with EVs, and that price cost of starting is large enough that they are in trouble. I’m not a huge fan of China, but they did the investment and are ahead exactly because of that (and crazy subsidies). Being left behind is their own fault imo, and I think that applies a lot to EU as well. Eg. WV.
The article goes into the first point though.
Using those services on your behalf is, potentially (in a legal sense) use of your data. By providing some information to a third party, even if Firefox itself doesn’t itself use it. This may come from the fact that you don’t directly agree to terms with the third parties when you start using the browser, with safe browsing for example. So Firefox is in a sense using/sharing private information. And in the changing legal landscape this usage may fall under modern privacy laws, such as the one mentioned in the article.
I agree the old wording was bad, but I do see the reasoning behind the new one.
Github actually does that too, in some cases at least.

My solution to most things, make it a chore.
Like, if you don’t buy it, you can’t drink it. If you have it, put it in an inconvenient place so you you won’t see it or bother getting it.
Try making a list without copying every time you add something. Mutability matters then. Imagine copying 10000 elements, or copying 10000 references to items every time something were to be added or changed.
I’m still a windows pleb, so no Zed for me. Fleet I haven’t heard of before.
I’m also very much one that likes a lot of convenience. RustRover is know from experience with both pycharm and Rider. But my main points are convenient functionality, autocomplete, debugger, code navigation, formatting and cleanup and git diff readily available. RustRover might be big and heavy, but it let’s me focus on writing and running my code without much issues.
The following isn’t any professional advice or anything, I am writing HTML manually for my hobby blog code. I don’t have much experience with HTML outside occasionally reading it.
I write a bit by hand, to layout my blog page, which is using HTMX. Generally I use RustRover since that actually gives details for attributes and such along with autocomplete. And apparently yesterday it asked if I wanted to enable HTMX support, which was even more intriguing. The main articles are however converted from markdown to HTML.
I do want a better way to design with preview of my page but I think it’s a long shot to find something that does HTMX at the same time. Especially since that often means having segregated pieces of HTML mixed into one document at page loading.
I’m not saying there will be mass deportation, indefinite detainment, and possibly executions of unwanted people, but they sure are lining up for it. For example ramping up execution of sexual predators, while at the same time labelling LGBT and drag as being predators, just for existing near children…
Like if Elon is a nazi, then we may very well see a DOGE squad hunt down “un-American” people in the darkest timeline.
I made a super basic blog by hand using actix-web. Basic processing of markdown into HTML and then present it through handmade (and chatgpt assisted) html+css with htmx to spice things up and try to do mimic a single page application. I don’t have much web experience though, so much of it is crude.
I don’t host myself yet, I used Shuttle which procides free hosting for hobby rust projects. It also comes with postgres so I have been looking into how to move from storing articles in files to a database for more consistent article support. Shuttle also supports other things than actix-web, so you don’t havr to use that specifically.
While I said blog, I don’t support new articles without a redeploy yet… And it only has like 3 random articles based on reddit posts. But it works at least.
I guess I should be happy I applied a work discount, which extended my subscription until Oktober 2026 or something.
That data display is really cool, since I don’t know too much about how a specific number is presented like that double.
That unit calculation is also pretty cool.
Because I want to be a God.
It’s a bit of hyperbole, but I was using some program on my pc and was frustrated because it didn’t do things I wanted it to do. Or it had bugs, and there was no way for me to get that changed, so I was left to pray that somehow the creator would find this small problem and fix it. I was envious of those people that could make these windows with buttons that made things happen. I wanted this power that transcended what I could see on my screen, and change how that world worked.
And so, I learned to program. I took the powers to shaped my own creations and ascended.
Then you have a bit more to do yeah, you should look into object oriented programming and classes. Classes are pretty much everywhere in C#. At the beginner level they aren’t as bad as they seem but you need to understand it’s basics. The guide I linked in another comment also has short introduction to using a class for example.
In my case, I had local music synced up in a playlist, and the playlist still did shuffle though my music. (which Spotify didn’t know the artist of given that it wasn’t part of their library.) The broken shuffle was just one of many reasons why I stopped using streaming and went with local music players back in the day.
I sure don’t sound helpful saying this, but it’s mostly about finding the equivalent to the python action/types, and typing them out when making functions and variables. Though 99% of the time, you are completely fine defining variables as var to avoid excessive typing.
I assume you dealt a bit with classes in python, if not then you’re doing double time with both changing language and learning object oriented classes at the same time.
If there is any specific I can try to give some clarity since I also came from Python to C#.
Fork it so i have my version, regardless if the original goes away. (Assuming Github doesn’t nuke all repos of course like they did with youtube-dl for a while)
