For my next phone I might just get a dumbphone. Has to be 4G though because in my country they're turning off 3G and eventually 2G networks. Pic related seems to be one of the cheapest 4G phones in my country so I guess that would be fine.

same size as my samsung aka. worst of both worlds
>too small for comfy video watching, gaming, reading manga
>too big to use onehanded at all times, finger can't reach top of the screen without "the shuffle" where it's easy to drop
never again, my next phone will either be 5.4 or 6.9 inches, so 6.9 inches because small phones aren't real
I know it might seem weird to only want each of the extremes, but think about it, a 6.1 inch phone sucks as being portable and sucks at being a huge-battery-media-device. At least with an Ultra or Pro Max tier phone I can have all day battery and can watch videos really bigly.

I barely use them. You're probably trying to do things in some retarded ass backwards way rather than learning how to actually use linux.

Using a package manager is generally easier than the windows random .exe lottery, but it is different and requires re-learning the way you do things.

>>107849495
flatpaks just ship the system libraries with them, retard. though then so do many windows software packages (which is why to run one .exe you need 200 .dlls)

Any time you run an exe that doesn't ship with a bunch of dlls it's using system libraries just like on linux.

>>107848705
flatpaks and AppImage are a godsend

And honestly, there are a few I'd get rid of if doing so weren't such a massive pain in the ass.

How's HDR and FSR 4 on Mint? I'd rather use Mint than CachyOS.

In evolutionary terms, a "Pleasure Trap" occurs when the organism is exposed to "supernormal stimuli" (highly concentrated sources of pleasure) that did not exist during evolutionary development.
For millions of years, calories and dopamine-spiking resources were scarce, evolution favored the
>"Motivator Triad":
Seek pleasure (food and sex). Avoid pain. Conserve energy.
An ancestor who found a rare honeycomb would gorge on it because those calories were vital for survival. Today, we have engineered substances (processed sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, digital entertainment, drugs) that provide a dopamine hit far more intense than anything found in nature. Your brain cannot distinguish between a natural reward and a concentrated modern one. It treats the "supernormal stimulus" as a survival signal. Over time, the brain down-regulates its receptors to protect itself, meaning you need more of the substance just to feel "normal," leading to obesity or addiction.
Apply the same principle to social interaction.

>>107849894
Interesting! I suppose evolution essentially "locks in" a strategy that works for the present moment but because it cannot see far into the future it can easily create a dead end where the organism is too "successful" to innovate, making it prime for extinction if the environment changes significantly.

>>107849894

Our hardware (brains) is still running "software" designed for a world of scarcity and slow change while our current world is defined by hyper-abundance and rapid volatility.

An iPad because you want to draw, every other use case you should get the Samsung.

it's actually hilarious how adverse g and ic are to ipads in general. I personally know an extremely talented artist who works for a game studio and works/knows tons of people in the industry. a huge majority of them use an ipad + procreate for at least the beginning stages of their sketches or artwork. they'll obviously do post work with different programs but it says enough that it's a comfortable medium for professionals and will serve the needs of 99% of the people who are not professionals which is essentially everyone on 4chan. you got nigs on IC that spend thousands on xppen gear and can barely draw a box in perspective

iPads seems to have a more streamlined software where everything is cohesive.

Samsung's software is all over the place with 10 different fonts for the home screen. That being said Samsung ad blocker is the best I have ever seen. It even blocks ads on apps like YouTube and TikTok.

If you want to draw seriously just get a drawing tablet for pc, not having keyboard shortcuts will hinder you
If you just want to sketch occasionally it doesn't really matter what tablet you get

About GUI toolkits, which data structurs/algorithms do they use to find out which button you clicked or overed based on the mouse's (x,y) screen coordinates?
There can be many buttons you can click in a given GUI and it's 2D, so...

not worth optimizing, the only thing worth optimizing is text.
if you care, you could benchmark.
but I think you will be spending 0.00001% of your time on UI input / collision events.
Maybe 0.1-10% on UI rendering depending on how much text you render.
10000hz polling mouse inputs don't send 10000 events, it only does that if you enable raw input, which is usually when the mouse is hidden in 3d games (and even then, the number of events are reduced in something like SDL2 to reduce stutter).

>(and even then, the number of events are reduced in something like SDL2 to reduce stutter).
But if I make my own GUI toolkit I'm going to deal with raw input and I'm going to need an efficient way to resolve bounding box hits, no?
If the GUI toolking only support click events on widgets, then iterating over all widget target areas might be fine because click events are rare (at worst you'd have 10-20 per seconds if you're really clicking like a maniac), but if it supports hover events on widgets then it's going to have to iterate all the fucking time and at a much larger frequency.

x : int : 42

would be valid in Odin to declare a constant int

x :: 42

would declare the same const, inferring it as an int

x := 42

would instead bind 42 to variable x, again inferring the type
Similarly

let x : int = 42;;

would be a valid binding in OCaml
etc.

Extremely darksided technology.

I used LLM to psychoanalyze my own behaviors and I came to the conclusion I am a Narcissistic, psychopathic schizoid, and that's a good thing! It really explains a lot, basically with the kind of person I am in, even in actual therapy I was never being fully open. AI allows me to be fully open and reach the core in a way you cannot with humans, that is the power of LLM.

First use msconfig to get your app to start up on XP then I need to figure out how to get virtual box Windows xp to start in seamless mode. The end result should be a desktop Icon running the wrapper to boot you app. You also need a shared folder between the VM but that's easy.

The best teacher I ever had at uni (like 5 years ago) literally did not know what git was.
He would teach graphics by explaining a scene graph, (loosely) what and how matrix math works and how it applies to vertex and vector transformations in rendering, the works. He also taught soft computing, which is the reason I know about natural and artificial neural nets, and genetic algorithms instead of just thinking "AI is a python script".
The man was sharp as a tack and seriously experienced, one of those sage types with a long white beard where the length of it is proportional to programming wisdom, but somehow had no idea what git was. One must assume he was just keeping multiple copies of his data over his multi decade tenure.
He also loved the Dreamcast. Said it was the first console that had spare polygons in its per frame budget. I miss that guy.

Depends what you need. If you just need source control, issues, and documentation publishing, run a Fossil instance. It'll let you keep all that under your direct control.
It's up to you what you put in it. If it's stuff which governments want to censor, you'll have to deal with the consequences eventually, ngl.
