Apparently running an update on Fedora. My flatpaks were broken on Fedora 40, so I thought it’s a configuration issue on my part and did a clean reinstall when Fedora 41 came out. Issues were not present… until I ran an update.

I’d suggest switching to open source apps or apps that work on Linux, maybe check up on the compatibility of games you play over at ProtonDB.

That will make your transition smoother.

Last update 27th Oct 2024? Trinity is still kicking around? I have so many questions…

Will there be Wayland support?

What is the purpose of it?

Does it even use later versions of Qt?

How lightweight is it (how much RAM and CPU does it use on a cold boot?)?

~/Projects

They’ll do it in 3-4 years, claiming it’s revolutionary, while they’re just catching up to the competition.

By “Developer of the Newpipe app”

Hmm…

Unverified

It’s a “No” from me. I’ll stick to Freetube.

For those unaware, being verified means it is packaged by the official developer/team.

MATE-Compiz

Explain yourself

All I want is a performant and modern Emacs that has the same speed and startup time as neovim while not requiring the daemon, which also has the stability and capabilities of neovim (things like super easy language integration and lsp are a godsend)

New slop just dropped

And I’m interested because you wouldn’t make an article if it wasn’t interesting slop, right? Right? (Insert Star wars meme here)

from OpenAI

Oh, nevermind then. Don’t care.

Similar story, though I was intending to send something kinda inappropriate to someone. I almost sent it to my mum because common contacts pop up when doing a share, so I pressed my mum, but then while moving my finger down I realised my mistake, and just did the best save I could. My finger remained pressed down on screen, essentially holding down the “share with mum” button, while I came up with the solution to hold down the power button until the phone restarted. Halfway through the bootup process, I realised I probably could have just pressed the power button so my phone would go to sleep instead and that would have fixed the issue.

Removed by mod

I actually forgot the /s. And I guess I wasn’t clear enough. This is less than a drop in the pool for them. An image build that takes them around 15 mins including setting up the VM for the build, takes me around the same time on a machine with a 6-core Ryzen 5 at 2.375GHz, with 8GB RAM. So because they’re running it on their high end hardware and it still takes that long, they aren’t allocating that many resources to the VM, meaning that it costs them basically nothing.

TLDR: If any of this was a cost that had any significance to their bottom line, it would have been restricted and/or monetised.

Nvidia is Sauron confirmed.

I’m actually continuously running github actions that I don’t need running, just because I can, and because it uses up their resources.

That’s something I really like about Ublue: they use Github actions, so if you build a custom image, you’re using Github’s processing power for it. So, go do that. Make hundreds. Bleed Microsoft dry.

Yeah, there was a period in time where people were discussing Helium-3 as a source of fuel that we could very easily and efficiently farm on the moon, which was seen as a key step in becoming a space-faring species. Okay, so we know where the fuel is and we can get there, so companies can start using Earth fuel to send helium-3 extraction machines, which can then be used to collect fuel for them to use in further missions and eventually, a small amount of helium-3 will be used to fuel a mission that returns with massive amounts of it, so we have a fuel, and now we can start exploring space even further, with people. It was the clear direction to take.

I was thinking the same thing! But it would be running from a Debian VM so I’m not sure how realistic that is. And I doubt it would have access to android apps.

If AI is just autocorrect on steroids (it is), I wonder if actual good old autocorrect will see any improvements

Safe to say I don’t have a career as an artist, unless it’s abstract art. Still, I was going for more of a penguin-like body intentionally. I didn’t fail at the task, I just found an approach that requires a skill I haven’t trained yet.

It was just about time for this to be made public. It was like an open secret for everyone in the know.

You can also add the fact that Apple blocks all ads and trackers… except their own.

Tech Self sufficiency? On the hardware level, it will take a while. In the software level, I don’t think it will ever happen. Yes, the desktop and software suite they use, and the distro they’re packaged in are Chinese, But…

the Linux Kernel, the GNU stuff, the systemd stuff, the Freedesktop specifications, Xorg if they still use it, wayland protocols and wlroots, are all developed by people from The West, so if they really want independence, I want to see them replicating all that work from millions of people across the last 30-40 years.
