There has to be millions of IoT/embedded crap that runs some long obsolete OS version or whatever. Consumer stuff indeed shifted a looong time ago.

Silver lining is, they should be done with the IPv6 migration by then.

Ackchyually, the Y2K bug was pretty different. A lot of software, for various reasons, took to representing dates as a two digit number. This meant going from 1999 to 2000 would make that software try to understand dates going from 99 to potentially various of other values, like 00 or 100.

We're gonna have a different form of that on machines with 32 bit processors relatively soon. Past some time on Jan 19th, 2038, the epoch time, a count of seconds since Jan 1st, 1970, is stored as a 32 bit signed integer. At this time, it'll run out of positive values, will overflow, and cause the internal clocks of such machines to go back to 1901. It probably won't happen again after that, as the maximum date represented by the largest signed integer a 64 bit machine can store is 292+ billion years

Noto for desktop apps. Inter is nice too. Roboto was a long time favorite of mine too.

Iosevka for monospace. Hack and Fira Code/Mono are great as well.

Iosevka is so great. Not everyone likes the narrow look. I've tried other fonts a couple of times since I stumbled on it a good handfuls of years ago, but I always come back.

Nobody here old enough to remember rules 30&31 of the Internet lol?

For the first systement, yes, there are a lot of women on the Internet nowadays. But there also are a lot of men pretending to be women, and a lot of creepy men, so I'm guessing a lot of women just don't mention it or pretend not to be one just to get some peace.

It all boils down to stereotypes, IMHO. Every time you're making such statements as "all X are Y" when talking about groups of people based on one criterion, you're stereotyping. Such broad generalizations are rarely useful outside humoristic tropes, and even then...

Well damn. Interesting. Thanks!

And it works fine with multiple monitors at different scaling ratios, or does it scale them all the same? That's the actual part that didn't work correctly for me, back then.

The second Google bought them out should have been the moment you started to be on the lookout for a potential way out. It's unfortunately really on brand for them. There's not a lot that survives acquisition.

Whatever works for you haha. Admittedly, I'm the kind of guy that's running a 34" ultra wide + two 22" monitors on top, and is looking at replacing them with a single 42-43" 4k monitor right now just to have the equivalent of a bezelless 2x2 grid of 21" monitors lol. And they're all budget/business monitors. So I may not be a reference on display quality... I'm obsessed with having tons of things on screen at once. The ADHD object permanence issues ("out of sight, out of mind" is my default state) might have something to do with it...

I'll have to check it out again then, if display scaling got better since.

I'm curious. What do you prefer, some larger res with resolution scaling? How's the scaling situation on DEs/WMs nowadays? Last I tried it, it was pretty abysmal. Admittedly it was years ago, but it used to be that mixed scaling wasn't possible, so if my laptop was higher DPI and needed scaling, I'd need to run any external monitor with display scaling as well. I've avoided high DPI/display scaling on purpose for a while at this point because of it, and tend to prioritize usable pixel real estate.

The overwhelming majority of the population lives in a narrow ~100km band over the southern border. How do you not have a decent transit system when its so concentrated?
