  • I just find it hard to imagine people will buy a worse computer instead of keeping the one they have, but I'll happily admit it if I turn out to be wrong.

  • Real Struggle 😔

    Jump

  • Well, that's a good point. However, if I wanted to export a CSV with only one decimal place, it would be mighty annoying if changing it to one in Excel didn't save it like that in the CSV. Unless there was another option to control that.

  • Yeah thanks, I didn't understand the original problem but I've got it now 🙂

  • Ahhh, the excel format keeps the precision but changes the display to 1 decimal. When exported to CSV, only that 1 decimal is exported, so you can't bring back what isn't there. But the original file still has it.

    I understand now, thanks! Definitely a coworker problem not an Excel problem then.

  • Yeah but we are talking about a widespread drop in the average, which I'd think would be more influenced by people upgrading (or not) rather than gear dying.

    I didn't even realise 32 was standard, I've really only seen 8 or 16 for normal consumer grade stuff.

  • But wouldn't people just stick with their current PC instead of downgrade?

    Especially because they very likely can get a better CPU with the same socket, and a better graphics card.

    I find it hard to imagine a scenario where you would go to less RAM instead of keeping what you have.

  • Fuck LLMs

    Jump

  • Why would the average drop? People already have the RAM so wouldn't we just see it stagnate?

  • Real Struggle 😔

    Jump

  • Maybe, by why wouldn't Excel let uou increase the number of digits in a CSV? The data is currently in Excel, and more digits isn't incompatible with the CSV format.

  • How do you ramp off being an open source maintainer?

    Jump

  • If you're open to it, I've seen maintainers go to "maintenance mode".

    Write it high in the readme so people see it, and write what it means: basically that you're not accepting PRs, you're not developing new features, but you will do bug fixes and basic maintenance (dependency updates, etc).

  • AMD say the Steam Machine is "on track" for an early 2026 release

    Jump

  • Early 2026! Which since we are already halfway through the first quarter of the year, that means it's only like 4 years away in Valve Time.

  • Nextcloud/OneDrive Files-only Replacement

    Jump

  • In my experience it's not quite the same. Using webdav through the distro account seems that it's fully online. And folder access or file access contacts the server.

    The virtual file experience is more of a hybrid. All the folders actually exist on disk, as well as shells for every file. If you try to open a virtual file, in the background Windows will seamlessly download it for you. At that point the file is actually on your disk. This way regularly accessed files on on your hard drive and seldom accessed ones are not, saving local hard drive space while providing an experience almost like if all the files were actually on your drive.

  • Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?

    Jump

  • I just finished RoboCop: Rogue City.

    It was enjoyable, but I did have to look up how to beat the final boss, where I realised I had missed an entire game mechanic (upgrading your default gun using boards you find around the place). I thought you just got to put upgrades into the board, I didn't realise you were supposed to change the board to newer better ones as you found them.

  • Nextcloud/OneDrive Files-only Replacement

    Jump

  • On Windows, Nextcloud seems to tap into some Windows function to provide files on demand. Is there any Linux cloud file service that can do it?

  • Built to peak: Coal power expansion runs out of room in China – Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air

    Jump

  • When I say "we" are blameless, "we" includes the government "we" voted in.

    Our government could have easily applied regulations to imports to counteract this.

    It reminds me how we introduced pig farm welfare regulations. Almost overnight, the pork industry collapsed and was replaced by an import industry from countries without the regulations. The government could have easily said you also can't import pork that wasn't raised in those welfare conditions, but they chose not to.

    I see this the same. Surely we could have regulations around the emission history of products regardless of the country of manufacture.

  • Built to peak: Coal power expansion runs out of room in China – Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air

    Jump

  • Isn't that my point though? That everything got offshored to China, then we complain about China's emissions.

  • Built to peak: Coal power expansion runs out of room in China – Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air

    Jump

  • I honestly think we should.

    If I'm a massive climate polluter, say, I use a lot of coal to produce steel. If my company decides to set up a subsidiary in China to make it, then claims they just reduced their climate emissions by 90%, I would say that's a bunch of bullshit, all they did was move where the chimneys were.

    I'm an advocate for having carbon credits decided based on supply chains not based on borders, otherwise all we do is move our pollution to countries that don't care.

  • Isn't that like saying I'm morally fine for knowingly buying stuff made with slave labour because they aren't my slaves?
