2·1 month agoI have been using the one I use for 10 years, but the one you sent looks pretty good too. Being open source is a green flag for me too, when I started using mine there were no good open-source qr-readers, that’s why I went with this one.
I recommend using a dedicated qr scanner instead of google lens, because even if it can scan qr codes, it isn’t optimised for it. Sometimes it can’t even detect a medium-sized qr code in a screenshot, and it looks like they haven’t even implemented the full standard.
Here’s a pretty good qr-reader I can recommend: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blogspot.aeioulabs.barcode
4·1 month agoUsually, they use a light grey instead of white, so the text doesn’t become overly bright, but not yellow, that’s usually reserved for highlights or similiar effects, except when in „High contrast mode”, when they use yellow for text/outlines and black as a background
No, it’s just a good to have. I have made this art-piece as a demonstration (it’s a link to this post):
And here’s me reading it without a problem:
Idk, I never managed to use above 5GB without launching a game.
You said that „QR Codes won’t work without the white margin.”. I said that they don’t even need all of the code to work, and that they don’t need margins.
If you’re trying to be darkmode friendly, you should try using something dark for the background with light text, because this only achieves a bad contrast ratio, and it is actually worse for most of the people looking at it.
Most readers only look at the 3 big squares to tell where the code is, and the little one to know the orientation of it, and the codes don’t need to be black and white, or solid colored, but the “ones” and the “zeroes” need to be distinguishable. Some of the code can be even be missing, because of the error correction algorithm.
I know, but I was comparing it with some other distros that have a giant download button in the center of the screen, that instantly downloads the iso
He probably haven’t read the wiki
There’s no hate for anybody or anything, I just realised some distros have marketing, most have at least a pretty website, but for arch, you need to search for the download button when you want to install it, and the only thing that spreads archlinux is the word of mouth(or something similiar in the comment section), and this mostly involves spamming „arch btw”
I say it’s rather a „it mostly works” experience, but as a twist, if anything goes wrong, you can fix it very easily
There is always a third really obscure way to do things
Buying a chromebook is like buying nearly expired milk because it’s cheaper as a lactose intolerant
MacOS is a great os, and it comes with solid hardware. If you use your laptop for anything except gaming, and you can pay premium, a mac is a really good choise. Also, it’s a lot easier to develop apps for iphones from macs, and that’s a thing that a lot of people do.
Not all people can afford a $1000 laptop, and in most countries, it’s considered as a really big price
