  • wdym? I did say the advantage of USB-C was a universal standard. that’s definitely why everything uses USB-C, much more convenient.

    My later paragraphs were focusing on a theoretical cylindrical wall plug (hence the comparison with the euro plug, schuko, uk plug, etc). sorry if just “plug” wasn’t clear.

  • idk, honestly any worldwide wall plug standard would be amazing, I wish the governments of the world focused on issues as simple as these

  • another downside to cylindrical usb plugs would probably be thinness, USB-C ports are quite a bit flatter and suits thinner devices a lot more

  • fair point, makes sense

  • good to be here! honestly the third-party app thing swayed me, there's so many good apps (ice cubes, mastoot, mlem, impressia, etc.)

  • besides weird central/eastern europe chaos, there's also no islands that are highlighted at all in north america, not even the big ones like cuba or haiti/dominican republic. I will probably add those at some point, but that'll be later.

  • ok I fixed it, it should just be "art" (a library to make ascii art) and "colorama" (easier coloured text)

  • oh wait shoot did it just add all the modules installed on my computer...damn... how do I make a proper requirements.txt? that pip command definitely didn't do it...

  • oh yeah that's probably a good idea. When I wrote that section, maybe reviews hadn't released yet or something. Btw, what is improved with the "ACE" models that make them worth it over the SV06 and SV08?

  • oop yep that's probably important. I've added that to the repo!

  • sorry for the crossposting 17 times, that is definitely spam. really sorry about this, should I delete the post?

  • oh and also I should definitely include links to awesome-selfhosted and other similar github repos, that would definitely be good too.

  • that seems pretty cool. I should probably add links to similar github repos as well (e.g. awesome-selfhosted, awesome-[whatever], etc.)

  • ooh yes that's a good idea. I can probably experiment with different colour palettes. maybe even a high contrast toggle option???

  • Originally this was a private project I was working was. The idea was when I ever had to buy anything, I wouldn't need to research anything and can just check the ppt. now that I turned it into github pages, I wanted to share it to everyone. However, crossposting 17 times is definitely spam and I'm very sorry about this. if you want me to delete the post, please lmk

  • I use floorp (firefox fork) because I like having the tabs at the bottom. Makes them closer to the taskbar and a bit easier to navigate.

  • oh damn that's kinda cool

  • yeah, I've been told that this is spam. Should I delete the post?

  • Thanks for the criticism! yeah, there is definitely heavy bias in this. I'll try to add some description to why I chose what I chose. I think I did that well when it comes to the "devices" section (I have written the specs of some of the laptops and compared them based on that) but yeah you're right I definitely need to improve on that.

    Screenshots of the programs are a good idea too. A lot of the desktop and phone apps were mostly based on my experiences with them and I agree that it's definitely quite biased. Maybe I could extend bestof into being a review site as well, that would be kind of cool and interesting.

    oh, and also, bestof isn't yet another suggestion repo, my idea is that it covers a whole lot of different topics from clothing to smart home tech to 3d printers. I've got the breadth of content, but need more depth, as you said! Again, thank you for your time to respond, really appreciate it!

  • yep ok I'll do that next time. Sorry about the crossposting, my bad! Originally I thought that I should share each category of bestof with their respective communities, but now it just looks like spam (and looking at it, it really is imo)!
