I actually went back to a light gray theme for my new Linux machine after I've been stuck with Windows's options of "flat pure black with hairlines" and "flat bright white with hairlines" for too long.
I don't actually need dark mode that much (except for coding) if a bright mode theme is easy enough on the eyes. Windows 10 is just so ugly that only the dark mode is halfway palatable.
If only the old themexp.dll hacks still worked I could have a decent looking desktop on all of my machines...
True. It's just the automated transfer that doesn't work.
I didn't bring up F-Droid's very existence as an argument because iOS also allows a form of sideloading these days. Android still makes it a lot easier but Apple isn't entirely out of the loop anymore. Baby steps, I guess.
I'm the spirit of fairness I will nitpick you.
Firstly, porting apps over between Android devices works seamlessly only if those apps come from the Play Store. Android has no provisions for auto-transferring e.g. F-Droid and its apps. So it's no wonder you can't transfer your iOS apps (which might not even have Android versions). But it is true that auto-transfers of Play Store apps between different Android spins is seamless.
Secondly, whether and how easily you can modify or replace your Android is dependent on the phone's manufacturer. A Pixel is a very different beast from an Xperia in that regard. Still, Google do provide AOSP and are very mod-friendly on their own devices. Apple very much aren't.

Soon they will launch their new product, Copy of New Teams Classic (work or school) (2).
GTA 6 will be the most important release not only in video game history but in the entire history of computing. If Alan Turing has known his work would lead to GTA 6 he would've died with a smile on his face.
Now that we are approaching the historic release of GTA 6 we can sleep easy for the launch of this, the greatest possible achievement of human culture, marks the completion of all our aspirations.
We can do no more, nor do we have to. We will have achieved all there is to achieve. GTA 6 will not only revolutionize everything, it will also obviate the need to improve upon anything because a world with GTA 6 in it is impossible to improve upon.
God weeps. Whether it's tears of joy because his creation has finally surpassed him or tears of grief as it is no longer possible for anything to soar to greater heights is unknowable. But we do know this: If you don't preorder immediately you will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.
There are some good games mentioned already but I'd like to pitch in Planet Crafter. No enemies, no time pressure beyond an oxygen/food/water system, just you and the long-term goal of terraforming a planet by yourself.
The award for almost-but-not-quite-relaxing goes to Hardspace: Shipbreaker, where you can fall into a comfortable trot after you figure things out – and then the storyline makes you want to strangle someone with their own necktie. But the gameplay can be very relaxing.
Or maybe Jadzia would wink at the camera and write down "Rick Berman's career".
CUDA was there first and has established itself as the standard for GPGPU ("general purpose GPU" aka calculating non-graphics stuff on a graphics card). There are many software packages out there that only support CUDA, especially in the lucrative high-performance computing market.
Most software vendors have no intention of supporting more than one API since CUDA works and the market isn't competitive enough for someone to need to distinguish themselves though better API support.
Thus Nvidia have a lock on a market that regularly needs to buy expensive high-margin hardware and they don't want to share. So they made up a rule that nobody else is allowed to write out use something that makes CUDA software work with non-Nvidia GPUs.
That's anticompetitive but it remains to be seen if it's anticompetitive enough for the EU to step in.
True. "Suck it up" works in some occasions and in others it makes everything worse. It's a terrible default approach to teach your children because they can end up never learning how to deal with stress in a healthy fashion.
The result is usually someone who builds up stress where other people don't (and then acts accordingly) and who has absolutely no ability to comfort other people when they need it. Few parents want their children to be lonely assholes.
Of course it's harder to teach someone nuance. Identifying when it's okay to be vulnerable and when you need to tough it out by yourself is difficult. But if you're not capable of both you're lacking essential tools.
"One of them is responsible for unspeakable atrocities and the loss of millions of lives. The other made some tweets that negatively affected stock prices. It's hard to tell which is worse."
Not even very surprising. The dark and/or broody scenes tend to be a lot less serious than they look. To give an example I saw: At last year's Wave Gotik Treffen (a huge goth event) there were plenty of posters for broody bands – and in between them there was one for the German Hevisaurus spinoff advertising their new song about bubblegum.
And then someone went around and put googly eyes on all the posters. That's also pretty on-brand for the scene.
