Finally, two political heavyweights are on the case.

According to a recent survey.

Did they learn nothing from The Simpsons?

[–] aleph@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

Yup, same here. I've also used it to write shell scripts and figure out unique ways to configure my system that I would have been hard pushed to achieve via a web search. It's incredibly useful.

It's clear that the M3 MacBooks are noticably slower with 8GB or RAM than with 16GB for various tasks, though, including photo & video editing, and 3D rendering.

Sure, 8GB gets the job done but why are Apple selling "professional" grade laptops in this price range that clearly require additional memory to reach peak performance?

That's no justification for selling a >$1,000 MacBook Pro with only 8GB of RAM, though. It's specifically marketed as a professional-class machine.

Because a significant number of people still interact with the desktop via mouse rather than keyboard shortcuts.

Hell, I use hot keys for most things but I still often prefer to quickly minimize a window with the cursor instead of reaching across the keyboard. The first thing I do with a vanilla Gnome installation is get Tweaks on there and restore window buttons.

Technically, Endeavour does have its own repos but they only contain a relatively small number of non-essential packages. But yeah, other than that it's basically pre-configured Arch with great defaults.

Lol omg. I tried long pressing everywhere except the page number icon, which I only tapped, and nothing happened. I'm clearly having one of those days.

That's cool, though. I haven't been able to find any FOSS app that has this feature before.

Thanks, that does look nifty, but unfortunately I was thinking specifically for Android.

[–] aleph@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I just figured that out, thanks!

From what I can see, there's no way to rearrange the order of pages, though, right?

Darn, for a minute there I thought this app might allow you to add pages to rearrange pages in existing documents like Notebloc. So few scanner apps offer this, but it's super useful.

Edit: BTW I was talking about Android, plus if you read the comment chain below, this one does! Just long press the page number icon and drag to move.
