  • [Trinity] The K Desktop Environment

    Jump

  • I actually went back to a light gray theme for my new Linux machine after I've been stuck with Windows's options of "flat pure black with hairlines" and "flat bright white with hairlines" for too long.

    I don't actually need dark mode that much (except for coding) if a bright mode theme is easy enough on the eyes. Windows 10 is just so ugly that only the dark mode is halfway palatable.

    If only the old themexp.dll hacks still worked I could have a decent looking desktop on all of my machines...

  • openSUSE Tumbleweed Begins Rolling Out KDE Plasma 6 Desktop, But No Wayland Default Yet

    Jump

  • Garuda's gaming spin should. At least mine runs on Plasma 6 + Wayland and I didn't do anything special to get there.

  • [Tumbleweed] Latte-Dock gone in zypper and local?

    Jump

  • I think Latte-Dock has been unmaintained for some time now. It's a dead project and maybe doesn't even work properly with Plasma 6. So it's a good time to drop it.

  • What are the community's opinions on media published after the show, such as comics or novels? Which ones do you recommend?

    Jump

  • I think all of the ATLA comics are solid, especially the ones illustrated by Gurihiru (but then again I absolutely love Gurihiru's style so I'm totally biased). Some aspects are a bit weird (like the forklift in The Rift) but the comics match the tone of the show fairly well.

    A particular mention should go to one from the Lost Adventures, the one about Private Wang Fire. A true Fire Nation hero!

  • What are your thoughts on Flatpak/Flathub?

    Jump

  • On the one hand I like the basic idea, on the other hand I think that some fundamental problems aren't fully solved yet. There big use case are passkeys and direct password manager integration – neither mesh well with the idea of software that isn't allowed to talk to most of the system.

    I'm certain that this will be resolved at some point but for now I don't think Flatpak and its brethren are quite there yet.

  • Microsoft Rebranding CBL-Mariner Linux Distribution To "Azure Linux"

    Jump

  • True, although that made people think that Windows 2000 was the intended successor to Windows 98 – me included. Not that I minded; in my opinion Windows 2000 was straight up better than Windows XP until XP SP2 came out. Anyway, Microsoft spends far too much time getting cute with version numbers.

  • Someone needs to be reminded that anticompetitive practices are illegal

    Jump

  • CUDA was there first and has established itself as the standard for GPGPU ("general purpose GPU" aka calculating non-graphics stuff on a graphics card). There are many software packages out there that only support CUDA, especially in the lucrative high-performance computing market.

    Most software vendors have no intention of supporting more than one API since CUDA works and the market isn't competitive enough for someone to need to distinguish themselves though better API support.

    Thus Nvidia have a lock on a market that regularly needs to buy expensive high-margin hardware and they don't want to share. So they made up a rule that nobody else is allowed to write out use something that makes CUDA software work with non-Nvidia GPUs.

    That's anticompetitive but it remains to be seen if it's anticompetitive enough for the EU to step in.

  • Microsoft Rebranding CBL-Mariner Linux Distribution To "Azure Linux"

    Jump

  • They could've sold Windows 2000 as Windows NT 5 and Windows Me as Windows 2000; that would've kept the "NT X" versioning scheme for the professional line and the year-based scheme for the consumer line.

    But the versioning scheme for the NT line is all kinds of weird in general. Windows 7 is NT 6.1. Windows 8 is NT 6.2. So we've established that the product name is independent of the version now. That means that Windows 10 is NT... 10.0. Windows 11 is also NT 10.0.

    Okay.

  • Gemini: Who negatively impacted society more, Elon Musk or Hitler?

  • The parliament has spoken against "chat control" as well AFAIK. The Commission, however, is probably still trying to find a way to eliminate privacy in whichever way they can.

  • My son uses Arch... How do I know? He tells me... Constantly...

    Jump

  • True, but those are not the people the men's is making fun of. It makes fun of perfectly healthy people who decide they need gluten free everything because they heard that gluten is bad and they can't do any research on how and why. Same with vegans who are only vegan because it's trendy (and who probably cheat every other meal because a vegan lifestyle actually requires a fair amount of effort and learning about nutrition).

  • Apple Vision Pro Owners Are Struggling to Figure Out What They Just Bought

    Jump

  • I find it to be fairly similar. Most people I know either don't care about VR or bought/borrowed a rig and ended up not using it much. It's typically seen as kinda nice but not nice enough to really bother with.

    In terms of interactivity, most see VR as little better than the Kinect – and that didn't exactly take the world by storm, robotics labs excluded.

    I think most people are actually happy with their regular screens so it's hard to sell them on something that does more.

  • Apple Vision Pro Owners Are Struggling to Figure Out What They Just Bought

    Jump

  • I dunno. People said the same about 3DTV and that never took off even when more affordable models became available.

    I don't think VR/AR has a killer app so far. There are some neat things it can do but nothing that makes people chomp at the bit to get their hands hands on it.

    VR gaming is nice but most gamers don't consider it sufficiently better to a regular monitor to buy a VR rig. For screen replacement it gets worse because the constraints are even harder - smaller budgets, weaker host hardware, lower expectations that are already exceeded by traditional screens.

    Apple might pull it off but they have one hell of a battle ahead of them.

  • Apple Vision Pro Owners Are Struggling to Figure Out What They Just Bought

    Jump

  • The problem is that demand will have to be generated first – something HTC, Google, Microsoft, and Meta have failed at so far.

    So far it seems that VR/AR is behaving somewhat similarly to 3DTV: Some enthusiasts are really into it and a market exists but most people aren't excited enough to spend any extra money on it. They'll have to find a way around that if they really want mass-market adoption.

  • Apple Vision Pro Owners Are Struggling to Figure Out What They Just Bought

    Jump

  • Given that most non-enthusiasts I know would consider 500 € to be way too expensive for a TV, prices will have to come down a lot for that use case. Especially for families where everyone would need one.

    Apple is definitely no contender in that market; their prices would have to go down by 90-95 % to interest the mass market and they're not interested in that kind of thin margin market segment.

  • This Week in Learning Linux

  • Not in my opinion. The ports are barely adequate and I think neither RAM nor storage are user-upgradeable. The silicon is nice, yes, and they got rid of the touch bar. But I still think it's forcing too many tradeoffs to be worth it. (And, as usual, their base storage is tiny and their SSD upgrades are way overpriced. Hence the lack of internal slots is a real pain.)

  • The preceding ones (iBooks, MacBooks, and aluminum MBPs) were okay for their time as well but not at the same level as the unibodies. Still, it's been a long time since Apple hardware was worth getting excited about.

    Mind you, this is purely from a computer perspective. I never cared about their phones so I don't know how their quality holds up. I do acknowledge that they're unbeatable in terms of duration of support, though.

  • The unibody MBPs were solid for the most part. From 2008 to 2012 Apple actually made really good, decently priced, upgradeable, virtually indestructible Unix workstations; I'll give them that.

    Too bad they then made the Retina generation of MBPs, which dropped most of what made the unibodies great and turned them from Unix workhorses to overpriced prosumer devices. And that's where they lived ever since.
