    Isn’t “half one” used as a short form of “half past one” these days, I.e. 01:30? That has been a source of confusion for someone used to the Germanic way.

    Grey laptops that share some ideas in their outline while being distinct enough to not get lawyers from Cupertino on their necks?

    You can go even further if you open the MIDI settings thing (I don’t remember the exact name, it’s in Utilities). There you can set the per channel volume with 2 digits, giving you…

    Why is simply asking permission controversial? If the implication is that what you’re doing would be rejected by 99,9% of users if they were asked, then you should reconsider eithe…

    Opt-in would still allow for that.

    Why talk someone’s hobby project down like that?

    I find that the crowd here isn’t all that privacy absolutist (ala EFF). The views I see on stuff like telemetry or ad tracking tend to lean towards that either being inevitable, or…

    That could also have been avoided by not rewriting in Electron, which I truly think 0 users wanted, whereas the old app warranted nominations for the Apple Design Award. It’s still…

    Explicitly opt-out sadly. It bothers me quite a bit to read that we’ve normalized telemetry as much as we have. If you’d asked more or less any random hacker 10 years ago if any of…

    Except you dont, not in termos of unchanging UX. Gnome reinvents itself too often… I’m surprised XFCE isn’t pushed more as an option.
