I recognized majority of the languages on the list but couple of them I am hearing for the first time admittedly like Blade and Crystal. I am not a programmer, so I guess that might be the reason.

Use nicotine as the client instead. It's arguably more user friendly and also stuffed with features. Most nix distros have it in their repos. You just need to share stuff on Soulseek(primarily music though some people share films as well).

Soulseek is filled to the brim with music, especially flac versions of songs.

management getting a notification

Isn't that a giant privacy violation? Why does anyone need to know when you come or go?

Pocketcasts has a app(read:web wrapper) for Windows if someone has their Plus variant. But sadly, subscription model for podcasts is useless way to go.

That shouldn't prevent electrified trains. By that logic, my village daily saw power cuts yet an electrified rail track runs cleanly next to it. The power cut happens in the towns but unless the national grid fails, trains should keep working.

Native gestures as in the gesture navigation system on Android?

Blackout as in the city lights going out or the whole state grid failing?

I have a noob question, is backporting any of these camera features possible for Google to older Pixel phones or is there a technical limitation?

I do agree about diminishing returns on high refresh rates. I have my current phone turned to 120 Hz and it gobbles up battery quite much.

Till 2019, <1 % of total rail in US was electrified according to Wikipedia? Is this true; considering that US was a world leader in terms of rail transport upto WW II, why the abysmally low numbers? I know that privatisation of rail networks and car centred cities makes life tough for rails, but 1 % is abysmally low for a developed nation.

In contrast, China is at 75% and India is at 93% respectively and both of them also have giant railway networks.

uBlock Origin Lite is a Manifest v3 compatible extension and was intended to be the successor of uBlock Origin on Chromium based browsers.

However, it is not at feature parity(and will likely never be due to restrictions in Manifest v3). One restriction is no element picking on websites and then adding them to custom filters.

I just meant, that having a higher powered refresh rate screen that can easily be toggled on/off is more refreshing than more on device AI, IMO.

The companies stopped giving chargers so they can sell them later to customers as an extra accessory and make more money. This wouldn't be a problem if there was a uniform standard. But USB PD isn't used by majority of manufacturers. My 33W charger can't charge my Samsung device fast which only draws maximum of 25W because previous is based on VOOC thing.
