I’m still unsure if you mean sharp as in clear, crisp high resolution / not pixelated / not blurry or “better” design / ui(x).

If the first check (fractional) scaling settings / font anti aliasing / smoothing options (I don’t use Gnome so don’t know where), if the latter, one is a small team of probably underpaid devs (Gnome), the other one of the wealthiest companies in the world (Apple) so I’d sure hope Apple’s UI is “better” than Gnome’s (though looking at Windows it doesn’t seem like having money equals good design, lol).

Yeah, if your cool with slave labor, unsafe & unhealthy work conditions, supporting dictators and almost every other crime under the sun buy cheap non-fairtrade (or similar) shit.

I think the 98% of people not in nerdy privacy communities like ours would be shocked about this so it is something to write hone about.

Shit, I hope Hetzner doesn’t fuck this up.

I wholeheartedly agree with all your points! You are not your job (even if you love your job)! Set clear boundaries, have hobbies, friends, take walks in nature, do some sports/pottery/gardening/whatever, try different things, til you find some you enjoy.

Ohhh, it’s SeqeuiaiaeuoahahaiaView in the terminal, that’ll come in handy.

Love ncdu, so good.

And rightly so, devs need to eat.

PoE2 came out in early access on Friday and with a bit of tinkering (had to switch to Proton 7, for others it runs with DX12 not Vulkan) I can play on Linux woth no problems. What a time to be alive! 🤭

Is this working for you via Optanium? For me Optanium can’t find a suitable release 😿

German here, did Erasmus exchange in Istanbul, Turkey while at art / design school. While the university there was to, uh … practical? advertisement focussed? capitalist? for my liking it still was one of the best things I’ve done in my life so far. Met so many cool people from different backgrounds, learned a lot about social skills / relationships, the music, the food, it is (was? It was like 15 years ago, before Erdogan) an amazing city. Can def recommend.

We will see if this will have in impact at all, or can you name something that has (or will likely) changed for the better because if this?

Lol, the hardcoded linebrakes, haven’t seen that for a while, what a glorious mess.

Tumblr is is such a goldmine sometimes, thanks for that.

Well, they’re going on my big list of “throw money at orgs to make this hellhole a bit less shite” I’ll check in January when I know my earnings for 2024:

Ah, didn’t know it converted to gltf, interesting. Yeah, bit it looks like we could really use a file format that is designed to translate between 3d program s and game engines …

I hope “Bitcoin Man” will have to pay dearly as compensation for the council’s time he wasted.

Ah, so it’s (mostly?) about animation? Because from my very limited unprofessional tinkering I was blown away how amazing just throwing a .blend file into Godot works (as opposed to eg in Unity)

This sounds cool, no AI bs, no random buying of stuff unrelated to anything, Mozilla and Unity could learn a thing or to here.

I think it’s about time FOSS points out the fact that making software is a lot of work and while it’s cool if some want to do it for free / as a hobby we need projects to be financially sustainable. Sure its nice if government orgs or companies sponsor open source projects but I feel it would be better if the community™ could pay most of the costs. I know thats utopian but I think most people don’t realise how much work goes into all of these projects and (as evident by that graph) a lot of them seem to be up for paying for a good product that doesn’t spy on you.

It’s only second prize so can’t be scam
