This templating feature looks neat!

If you need advanced modifications, Inkscape is surprisingly capable!

We’re at an insane level of stupid. I had to buy a new smartphone in an emergency yesterday, and the onboarding runs as follows :

1. “What browser do you want to use?” Firefox
2. “What search engine do you want to use? (Non skipable)” Ecosia

This results in installing two separate apps : Firefox and Ecosia

I think it’s the same deal as search engines : people have been made too unaware of what is on their devices. Every service needs its own app or people will just not dare to “tinker”.

Same ! About the difficulty, it perfectly reproduces my initial Hollow Knight experience, which was my first ever metroivania so I was always lost and struggling against early bosses.

I bought a second hand surface pro 7 recently and I’m quite in love with it! With a few GNOME plugins it’s a quite capable tablet AND a quite capable laptop on the go.

After having a similar feeling as yours I went for NixOS.

My thoughts then : if it breaks I can rollback, and the unstable channel is quite comparable to what arch offers.

Now : I’ve moved to stable channel, because it’s updated enough and allows me to only deal with breaking changes twice a year. Moving to NixOS was time consuming (but fun) because it required to rewrite all my dotfiles and learn something new.

Wow, a lot of great things! :D

I’ll be optimistic and say that someone at OpenAI loves working with Rust as much as you do and pushed for it 😄

I love the trackpads on my steam deck, but I think the best part is steam input. Having so much control on their behavior and being able to map various kinds of menus make them so powerful!

The same trackpads with shitty software wouldn’t be half as useful.

It’s at least misleading 😛

But I have to agree that for any non-math people this would convey the right idea, whereas “quadratic improvement” would probably not mean anything 🤷

Worst bugs usually hide in the most trivial causes 😭

TBH I’m not sure wider adoption would worsen things ? Gaming distros would probably ship bullshit anticheat modules by default while the others would not, or at most provide some documentation on how to opt in.

I think it’s quite similar to the situation with NVIDIA proprietary drivers? (I don’t own a graphics card so I’m not super aware on this topic)

I’ve just installed kopia on my home server. The web interface is super simple and it has exactly all the features I want (encryption, differential & retention tweaking).

It works with S3, so I pay less than a cent per GB for a cloud provider from my country. This pricing works best for me because I only backup about 20GB of data.

Back in ~2010, my first dual boot was an Ubuntu. It was fairly easy to run WoW from Linux and it gave me a solid >15fps while Windows ran at less than 10fps.

I was very young at the time but still aware that this was super impressive with extra compatibility layers. That definitely took part in selling Linux to me.

That’s exactly the solution from the article 👌

In the curl git repository most files and most content are plain old ASCII so we can “easily” whitelist a small set of UTF-8 sequences and some specific files, the rest of the files are simply not allowed to use UTF-8 at all as they will then fail the CI job and turn up red.

I think it’s worse at conveying the intention and should be a compile-time simplification (I’m too lazy to check if compilers would do it though).

I opened the topic while knowing there will be a ton of super enthusiastic and well-constructed answers. I’m not disappointed 🍿

I like the vanilla experience with no fear of breaking with an update.

Although as I’m still nerdy I do a lot of per-game tweaking for steam input and a few launch scripts for non-steam games. The desktop utility from steamgriddb is also awesome if you manually setup non-steam games.

I don’t think France tried to break E2E yet? Some political groups repeatedly submit law projects through the democratic process, but as long as it doesn’t pass I think the best we can say is that France is against.
