"There is always money in the banana stand" is from the TV series Arrested Development.
Personally I prefer to turn incoming video off during meetings, as I find it distracting.
Just checked, and it's in dark mode for me as well, so that must have been added/fixed in an update. But I was recommended to try Liftoff in the meantime, and do prefer to use that right now.
They might be cheaper elsewhere in the world, but here in Denmark, a Surface Duo 2 costs over 13k DKK, which is 2½ times as much as I paid for my Samsung S22 - and that was for a bundle including a Galaxy A8 tablet. I don't feel like I would get enough extra usability to justify that cost difference, and I would be too afraid of breaking it.
Phones were already too expensive and prone to breaking without introducing foldables, so I don't see the appeal. If it wasn't so slow and expensive, I think I would have considered the original surface duo, as I prefer durability over a seamless screen. The new one with the camera bump, I don't like the look of.
While I love using a terminal, there are certainly things that I prefer a TUI or a GUI for. But they should be navigable using the keyboard. I can move files around much faster using Total Commander or Midnight Commander rather than using the terminal.
It's certainly happening a lot faster than I expected. It will be interesting to see how the stability of rust drivers will be. Prior to reading the write-up of why the GPU drivers for the M1 silicon was written in Rust, I could not see how it would be beneficial to introduce a new point of failure by adding Rust support in the kernel, but now I think it's a good idea to slowly migrate in that direction. It just means that I will have to teach myself Rust sooner or later.
I use Alpine Linux, btw.
