  • Saab says Canada's air force could have Gripen fighter jets in as little as 3 years

    Jump

  • Because making a fighter jet is a more than a decade long undertaking with existing military industrial design, manufacturing, and test infrastructure.

    Making one from scratch without the existing IP and infrastructure is an even larger and more expensive task.

    It takes the cost (out-my-ass example) from 30 million per jet with a 3 year lead time, to 150 million per jet with a 15 year lead time with an unproven, likely worse, aircraft. And if they are trying to protect themselves from close neighbors' current trajectory turning hostile, they probably don't have 15 years.

  • Does anyone else miss traditional forums?

    Jump

  • I am split on this.

    If you allow it, then you get eevblog sort of posts where there are 1000+ comments over 5 years in 50 pages that switch topics so regularly that every 2-5 pages should be entirely seperate posts and reading them because of wanting to find information on the title topic is completely useless.

    On the other hand, sometimes an issue will become stale and someone will comment with an update or solution to a problem and get chastised for "necroing" and sometimes their comment with a solution deleted.

  • EU court rules entire bloc must respect same-sex marriages in rebuke to Poland

    Jump

  • There are also tons like Italy, Czech republic, Croatia that have civil unions, but I don't know if they respect foreign marriage.

  • GraphineOS being targeted by France

    Jump

  • Aren't they moving their servers to the USA?

    They are literally going from bad to worse if it is true.

  • Bottles 60.0 Launches with Native Wayland Support

    Jump

  • Similar goal, different function.

    There aren't install scripts like lutris, which makes it harder, once in a while, to install certain games that might need a modification.

    What makes it special is that it puts each program in a "container" (hence the name) that is sandboxed from your system. E.g. if you were trying to run a program infected with malware, it would have a very hard time trying to infect the rest of your system, where with lutris and Heroic, that separation doesn't exist so it would have full access.

    It is less targeted at games and more at general programs.

    That is about it. The interface is much worse than lutris or heroic, but it is still a useful program.

  • Valve put up a new Steam Linux Runtime 4.0 with a move towards 64-bit

    Jump

  • I don't think flatseal can set the background permission, but I might not recall correctly:

     
            flatpak permission-set background background com.valvesoftware.Steam yes

  • Valve put up a new Steam Linux Runtime 4.0 with a move towards 64-bit

    Jump

  • It doesn't work fine out of the box. I tried it on Opensuse MicroOS a year and a bit ago and had to search 3-5 pretty undocumented solutions to big problems before being able to play the same games that non-flatpak could.

    Out of the box, proton didn't work at all.

  • Codeberg has reached 210k registered users!

    Jump

  • I moved all my projects from github over to codeberg. It was a seamless transition except for having to modify some links in the readme and a submodule, but issues moved over OK as well.

  • There are many many kinds of laws that are fucked in Japan. Court in general is a whole other cultural world from what I hear and however unfair courts are in the west, in Japan they are even less so.

  • How good are Amazon online shopping alternatives in your part of Europe? Have they improved since the beginning of the year?

    Jump

  • Except for small external sellers selling small things. Bol is quite expensive for those items.

    A lot of small pieces cost ≥30% more on Bol without free shipping than either amazon or the seller's website. I usually try to go to the seller directly in that case.

  • Linus Torvalds is OK with vibe coding as long as it's not used for anything that matters

    Jump

  • As someone who is not a great coder. I can help in cases of double checking in addition to learning.

    I made a USB HID report & device descriptor, it works fine everywhere except it causes KDE settings Game Controller menu to segfault when identifying USB devices.

    I know there is a 99% chance that it is due to my descriptor being wrong. AI found my mistake of carrying over the logical min/max number of bits to the report size and my logical minimum was 1 too small. Haven't had a chance to test yet, but maybe I saved the KDE maintainers annoyance of a false alarm bug report.

  • Fully waterproof sneakers that don't look like hiking shoes?

    Jump

  • Mukishoes is out of portugal and they will also resole your shoes for you for cheap when the soles wear out.

    https://mukishoes.com/product/raw-leather-brown/

    They have a leather shoe that is kind of sneaker style, but oil it up with a leather conditioner and it is waterproof. I live in Belgium, so very rainy and my feet have yet to get wet in them using mink oil IIRC (Definitely buy the wool insole though because they have thin minimalist soles so it gets cold when temp dips <0)

  • Your old android phone is begging to be a cheap home server!

    Jump

  • Except not on most phones, just a small subset of old phones.

  • The Right Is Now Transvestigating Charlie Kirk and His Wife, Erika

    Jump

  • First they tried accusing her of running a child trafficking ring in Romania.

    But I guess then they figured out that probably made the Guardians Of Pedophiles party like her more.

  • Tablet market stalls because there’s not much new to buy

    Jump

  • Time to DIY!

    Waveshare touchscreen for pi, 1200x800 is a good price and for home assistant that is fine. $70/75 for 8inch/10.1inch version. (10.1DP-CAPLCD)

    Raspberry pi 3/4/5 can mount directly on the back of it. For whatever outrageous price Pis are now. (Around here, a 4B/4GB is 60€.

    Wave share PoE hat for $20

    Assemble it like Lego, put it in a wooden frame or 3D print, done. Around 160 USD plus shipping for a full build of a POE battery-less touchscreen display that runs full Linux of whatever flavor. (And is quite overkill as far as power).

    You could probably do it even cheaper with an orange pi zero 3 with a PoE to USB-C converter or a Banana Pi BPI-P2 Pro IoT which has PoE built in.

    It is cheaper than a tablet and strips out the useless things like a battery, camera, really high DPI display, LTE radios, etc... For a simple home assistant kiosk.

    But yeah, epaper displays are 3x the display cost without touchscreen. Though in my opinion, epaper is better for static non-interactive sensor display which can run on battery with an MCU for almost no power because it only has to update once an hour or so.

  • Why go through the trouble to use Arch?

    Jump

  • Placebo is a hell of a phenomenon though lol

  • Steam Frame (VR with Linux)

    Jump

  • What other people haven't quite touched on is that the in-built system certainly won't be powerful enough to run demanding VR games with good frame rates and resolution.

    I also have my doubts about the 6GHz WiFi connection being enough for it, I hope there is also a wired option.

    But it will be awesome to be able to do normal tasks like coding, writing, etc.. outside in the garden, as an example. I think for people that don't have a dedicated VR space, this could be awesome with 6GHz WiFi outside without needing base stations.

  • Confirmed: ICE Is Arresting American Citizens—and Lying About It

    Jump

  • That is completely false about the states, but might be true about the specific citizens

    https://www.axios.com/2025/06/03/immigration-enforcement-ice-deportations-states-trump

    Houston literally had the highest amount of ice raids lol.

    https://www.newsweek.com/map-shows-states-ice-arrest-immigration-2107629

    Texas is one of the places where ice makes the most arrests lol.

    But there has rarely been instances in recent history where gun nuts have used their guns against agents of the government instead of unarmed civilians. They don't like it when they shoot back.
