Maybe they’re scared that project Cybersyn would actually work

Upvote stuff I like such as positive news, shitposts, windows bad and Linux good posts.

Downvote rarely, only if the post is factually wrong or misleading and I’ve spent the time to confirm. “Person shreds other person” is a shit headline and unless he hit a 10 point debate combo with a knockout I’d Downvote.

g-push

git push origin `git branch --show`

That’s a porn name for a company.

Soon Linux will be big enough that stores will offer a selection of operating systems. It might be possible already to ask for a custom built PC deal with a discount for no bringing your own OS or having them install it for you.

Maybe nothing broke, they just support genocides in general.

I personally really like lifting weights and running an the gym. You can do it all at home but having a barbell, squat rack, bench press, weight plates, dumbbells, treadmill, pull down machine, rowing machine and so on at home would take a lot of space at home.

Having it at a different place also helps a lot with motivation IMO, there’s a strong “at the gym I work out” effect instead of being at home where I can take a break and “continue later”.

This could mean that it’s the year of thy Linux desktop 🤔

I’m up for installing Linux on my last phone when it’s added to the list of devices that have official/unofficial support. I’m not going to install anything until WiFi and mobile data is supported tbh.

I tried installing Ubuntu touch for fun a couple of years ago but it didn’t boot. I just want to get to a point where I can install the OS and send bug reports.

I’m very open to being an early adopter of mobile Linux phones. I’ve been unable to because of a couple of factors. I last seriously checked about half a year ago so take this with a pinch of salt.

• Limited support for specific models. This means that the phone will work as a computer but won’t have the correct drivers for gyro, sim and whatnot.
• Lack of extensive driver support. Phones turn off components to save power, this was not supported the last time I checked and halves the battery life compared to stock android.
• Waydroid support incomplete. Many apps will work but some apps will bug out. Waydroid also has performance issues so it’s not as good as WINE for example.
• Not big enough community. A lot of models are maintained by a single dev that checks in every blue moon.

To get a Linux phone to be competitive on performance we’ll need to get driver APIs and component lists open sourced so it’ll be easier to gather the appropriate info and make drivers.

There has been tons of progress though, Gnome and KDE have really strong touch support now and the apps scale decently.

It’s coming but now fairphone is the only phone that openly supports Linux mobile distros and is open sourced.

Important note: This release can only be upgraded to if you’re on 10.7 or later. Make sure to update to 10.10 soon or the process might become more manual.

It’s the other way around. Windows will stop supporting kernel level anti-cheat because of Crowdstrike

I do it for a lot of different reasons (example in parents):

• Game was good (Obra Dinn): To show appreciation
• Emotional or great story (Witcher 3): To digest
• Very hard game (Celeste): Bask is the victory
• Grindy game: Finally done so I can relax

It’s because a lot of the way humans go about their life is based on traditions. Getting everybody to switch from a system that already works pretty well is just a hassle.

Examples:

• English spelling is faaar from phonetic and children take longer to learn how to spell than in Spanish for example. (though, cough, enough, plough instead of something like thouğ, koff, enaf and the US plow)
• Metric system adopted globally would streamline a lot of global industries that have no cater to each system.
• Driving right side everywhere. Sweden switched but asking India to switch makes way less sense.
• Date formats. Arguably the best if everyone uses ISO 8601 but nobody does.

The MS style guide, which most C# code follows, says so.

I personally hate it and I prefer the java/js style. The braces are also horrible. Here’s an example.

public class ExampleEvents
{
    public bool IsValid;
    public IWorkerQueue WorkerQueue { get; init; }
    public event Action EventProcessing;
    public void StartEventProcessing()
    {
        static int CountQueueItems() => WorkerQueue.Count;
        // ...
    }
}

C# disagrees

It’s a common practice but not required. Python behaves like JS where it just runs whatever you wrote. If you don’t want it to run when importing the file you can put the main() inside the if so it only runs when you run the actual file.

You can use it when developing a function or a class to run a simple test without running the whole program.

But fuck Hitler’s mom just to be safe

I go on protondb and see if people regularly have problems. If not I check to see if someone has the same GPU. Then I try whatever trick they have there. Then I try switching to an X11 session instead of wayland.

If there’s a launcher like rockstar I search for that specifically.

You’re allowed to use the solar on the roof before buying from the grid which will save you tons on most days. The UK grid operates on marginal pricing so if you buy from the grid the highest price provider dictates the price.

This essentially means that you pay the peaker plant nat gas price for electricity where every MWh hits pretty hard on the bill. To recoup the investment in the UK, especially with the interconnectors inside the Eurostar tunnel, is pretty easy and a decentralised grid allows the UK to skip building a lot of power lines for energy that’s used locally.
