Yes , please, yes ! Having the world on your fingertips under the dial knob (ok, I'll settle for synthesized frequency receiver) is a feeling of discovering something not polluted by a countless hordes of opinionated ..persons of no interest. Many teenage nights spent catching voices from the other side of the planet.
They are doing that by polling private servers, which is sometimes less efficient power-wise, and sometimes notifications are being delivered slower than in case of using Google-provided mechanism (FCM). We've been using ntfy for alerting, using our private server and running ntfy client in polling mode, and I do not see significantly increased battery usage by the ntfy client; Android 15.
So ntfy Android app polls a ntfy service. (Which is more efficient than each app polling separately) What does Google's Android library do if not also poll? Does it run a server on the phone? Does it get special signals from cell towers that most apps don't have access to?
It also polls, it just does it as part of the OS. Power saving by the OS can often interfere with apps like nfty that want a long-running background process, especially if they haven’t been opened in a while.
From what you're saying, it doesn't sound like the OS-based polling would be more power efficient, as someone in this chain suggested, just more reliable. Though, I think you can just turn off battery optimization for the ntfy app, in which case I'd expect them to be on par.
If that's right, it seems like ntfy with battery optimization turned off is effectively a "real" push notification system.
I'm using that cheapo LG 24UD58 :) unfortunately they only make 27" now. I really wish they would start making them again. 27" @ 4K is a little bit too low res for me.
Biggest advancements ? Give me a break. Voyagers, Hubble, ISS, James Webb, upcoming Europa mission - SpaceX has nothing on that level of sophistication and cooperation between dozens of countries. I'm very much fond of SpaceX, but giving Elon too much credit does not feel right .
Biggest advancements in launch technology would surely be correct. Scientific research isn’t in their domain and should never be. There’s just too much political influence there.
Perfect line spacing, other fonts have it way too wide between lines, screen feels half-empty. Great font, switching to it . Medium weight would be lovely, though
Just wait until Lennart pushes his idea of doing linking entirely via dlopen() in systemd (see the story from a few days ago). Last bits of sane and efficient means to track dependencies will be gone forever after that. Good luck creating any lean Docker/k8s images without pulling in systemd-based stack after that.
Bunch of bu... rather unsubstantial claims. Just installed fresh KDE 5 + Plasma , running Wayland session, with two displays having different DPIs (96 and 185), and Plasma menus on HiDPI display are blurry until I'm moving a mouse over them, then they magically are getting refreshed with proper resolution. Tell me about how Wayland is great and works out of the box, sure
No. I could go deep into "rare language, weird slang, local dialect" hole, but simple "No" would be enough. Their website is exceedingly non user-friendly, too
IDK if ability to drag a window between screens is something more important than properly supporting different DPIs; but that might be a decent level of ignorance on my part
Eh, I lived with the limitation back in the XFree86 4.0 / beta multihead support days on an array of Matrox Millenium PCI cards.
While it technically works, you quickly discover the importance of being able to organize windows to different physical displays after the programs are already running / the windows have been created.
Requiring exiting and relaunching things to migrate them to different physical screens gets old fast.
