What does Windows do? Genuine question, I've not used it since the 7 days. Regarding Linux, that's true for stuff installed through regular package managers and whatnot, but Flatpak is pushing a more sandboxed and permission oriented system, akin to Android.
This has nothing to do with the mobile app, which also has password/biometric unlocking, it's about the desktop electron app.
I carry my things in the front pockets of my jeans: on the right, just my bare Pixel 4a; on the left, my keychain (with 3 keys and 2 small tools, no car keys), my small leather wallet I bought at an artisan market many years ago and occasionally my trusty Edifier X3 earbuds.
Then, in case I make purchases and people hand me tickets (which I've been getting into the habit of refusing in advance, no need to waste paper), I stash them in one of my back pockets, typically the right one.
The layout for my left front pocket is almost always the wallet to my right, the keychain to the left and the earbud case on top of the wallet.
Additionally, I typically wear my analog wristwatch (smallish, very simple and non-flashy, matte grey metal core with lightish leather band) in my left arm and, in sunny days, wear my aviator-style glasses.
In winter, I may use a scarf and/or gloves, but it's often not necessary where I live.
Cool! Thought they weren't common across the Atlantic.
Yeah, distros should, at most, change the default accent color and some pannel icon, but no more than that.
Damn, in what region? Never spotted anything like that!
lmao never seen such peculiar animations over here, that's crazy
Here in Portugal, most display useful info like date, time, outside temperature (with varying degrees of accuracy), as well as services provided by the pharmacy or some general (often season specific) health recommendation.
The use of a bright green sign is, of course, to seek attention, but it's also useful to quickly spot an open place at night, when most are closed and only a few remain opened longer in each town/city neighborhood (called "farmácias de serviço", i.e something like "pharmacies in service"; they usually rotate between themselves each week). Nowadays you can check which places are available at night through a nice website, but the signs remain a useful thing, nonetheless.
The animations are just a culture thing now, I'd guess. Different pharmacies employ different animations, some wackier, some less, though there are very common animations for sure, such as the one where a 3D cross is animated rotating on multiple axis at the same time, making a nice spin back to its original position.
Why? I dunno, they break up the usual info display and help grab attention? I dunno, you get used to it and it mostly gets filtered into the background hehe
Can confirm that in Portugal, pretty much every single pharmacy has one of these, with varying degrees of wacky 2D/3D animations and info display.
Sage eating the cake and nodding multiple times was hilarious.
Truly one of the funniest scenes in the series xD
Poor Komiko, agian.
Frenchie had 0 screen time, which was interesting, it kinda made Kimiko's struggle more real to us, since we were also far from him.
I really hoped Starlight had killed what's her face with the neck jab.
I was actually hopeful of some peace, for a change, since Firecracker seemed to be genuinely moved by Starlight's words. But oh well x)
The breast milk was definitely not something I ever expected, and I was laughing my ass off when it hit Homelanders face.
I'm pretty sure it was hinted at in a previous episode, don't remember which exactly. But yeah, HL's reaction was priceless. Such good acting!
I'm not sure how they are less usable than Discord. "Everyone" (using quotations here because it's not an absolute thing, but it's almost so) knows how to e-mail, it's one of the most fundamental Internet skills. Using Discord, however, is not, for a large amount of people. Sure, most developers either have had contact with Discord at some point or are capable of figuring it out just fine anyway. But seeing as FLOSS really shouldn't just be about developers (as Drew points out too) and as end users should also be accounted for, e-mail as a basis for coordination and support is a very valid choice.
It's pretty much account-less (in the sense that you don't need to create yet another account), it's easily indexable (there are plenty of web UIs for mailing lists), it's convenient and highly asynchronous, not to mention it's a mature and well established open standard and decentralized protocol, with lots of open tools that fit the spirit of FLOSS in general.
Discord, however, is closed, "unindexable", doesn't work offline at all (with e-mail you can read and compose e-mails totally offline, it's heavier (both in terms of computing resources and data transfer) and full of intrusive pop-ups and whatnot (and has arguably distracting money-seeking features). That's fine and maybe desirable for certain types of communities, specially the instant aspect of it, which is a strong and harmless difference between the two, but it's not fit for the base space for contact between developers, contributors and users.
In my opinion, of course.
I have the exact same issue on my Pixel 4a. Tried a bunch of stuff, even installing their gallery app (with network and everything in XPrivacyLua blocked), to no avail. It just crashes when using the shortcut.
My "solution" was to place a shortcut to the normal gallery app on the home screen and train myself to quickly switch to it.
