  • Rust-Written Redox OS Sees Initial Wayland Port

    Jump

  • Yeah that's the (public) policy, but there's nothing stopping them from saying "we're Google, we have a literal army of lawyers at our disposal, and you can't prove shit. Even if you could prove shit, we would find a way to keep doing what we're doing through some loophole that you can't afford to fight us on"

  • Why won’t Steam Machine support HDMI 2.1? Digging in on the display standard drama.

    Jump

  • I used to find it took forever to start showing a picture compared to HDMI on my PC. Getting a new GPU so maybe that will improve things.

  • Microsoft's Attempts to Sell AI Agents Are Turning Into a Disaster

    Jump

  • Azure and Teams. The former makes them waaaaaaay more money of course. Other than that it's been a trainwreck. Gamepass was relatively novel but increased the price so much as to make it unviable for most people, that's before you get into the plague of issues with it like controller compatibility, which is itself a problem of Microsoft's own making.

  • Rust-Written Redox OS Sees Initial Wayland Port

    Jump

  • Yeah I'm a recent convert to less permissive licenses and was disappointed to see that redox was MIT. At the same time I know if I was to make anything worth open sourcing I couldn't fight big tech if they decided to make use of it in a non-compliant way.

  • Python / Anaconda installation

    Jump

  • I work professionally providing some of these tools and I get lost with all the variations so you're not alone. You generally don't want to mess with the "system" or "preinstalled" version of python on your system as it has a chance of breaking things. Anaconda or similar tools will package their own version so if you mess those up you can just delete it and reinstall it without breaking anything else. Virtual environments are definitely the way to go but get 10 python developers in a room and they'll give you 10 different virtual environment tool recommendations.

  • The VPN panic is only getting started

    Jump

  • The irony of the chancellor announcing today that they are promoting innovation in the UK tech industry while simultaneously implementing the innovation-crushing OSA is fucking baffling.

    Hey small group of people who want to communicate online to organise things, you'd better be monitoring everything that's been said on your forum or face a crippling fine that you cannot survive. Oh cool you've moved to Facebook and now everyone needs a Facebook account to interact with you in any meaningful way because god forbid you read emails.

  • FACTS

    Jump

  • I'm only really aware of him as former (?) leader of private discords who have to pay to talk to him so this article made that idea even more ridiculous and funny than it already was!

  • PSA syncthing-fork has changed owners

    Jump

  • It's an Android client for syncthing. It is only one of the available android clients, not syncthing itself.

  • Windows 11 to add an AI agent that runs in background with access to personal folders, warns of security risk

    Jump

  • I have to wonder how many windows devs are aware they're just making windows worse.

  • How to start as a not very tech savy person

    Jump

  • Mint is honestly your best bet. I installed it for my parents on their aging laptop and they're allergic to the terminal and they're getting on great with it. Requiring a password for administrative actions is generally a good thing for security but you could disable it (unfortunately the only way I know how is via the terminal!). I'm biased here because I'm a techy person but I've used Windows, macOS and Linux professionally for years and I always have to troubleshoot things. Windows, in my experience, has always been worse than the others because while Linux has very technical or terminal-based solutions a lot of the time, Windows official support generally tells you to "just reinstall or restore from a system restore point" which is such overkill for most problems. That or registry edits.

  • Windows 10 is done, and this is a bad thing for everyone (not just Windows users)

    Jump

  • I don't know how you got to "the author is crazy" but he's making the well-trodden and I would have thought uncontroversial environmental impact argument, so yes windows 10 dying is bad for everyone.

  • Trump gets royal welcome in UK as he makes historic second state visit

    Jump

  • Not cheap to the UK taxpayer of course

  • What's it like being a user hearing about developer drama.

    Jump

  • Tried it on PopOS and wondered how anyone could use it at all. Installed fedora on a different machine and it's flawless. Probably just the age of PopOS at this point.

  • Support for hardline anti-immigration policies linked to ignorance about migration figures, poll suggests

    Jump

  • Where's the shocked Pikachu meme...

  • You might not need tmux

    Jump

  • One of my primary use cases isn't covered by this article and that's a consistent user experience from one terminal emulator to another. I have personal and work devices, and I don't have control of what terminal emulators I can use on the work device, so tmux is the only way I can work with consistent keybinds and a consistent experience across all terminal emulators with nothing but a single git clone of my dotfiles. Yes I get stuck behind in features but I kind of couldn't care less about terminal notifications or title renaming (the examples used in the post). I'm always in the terminal, I don't need notified to come back to a terminal I'm already using.

    If I'm wrong please tell me but it's worked for me for years without too many issues across tons of terminal emulators from iTerm to gnome-terminal, xfce4-terminal to windows terminal.

  • Petition to Repeal the Online Safety Act

    Jump

  • I think the act has merits, there's just not enough exceptions. The wording is so vague it considers a Minecraft server used by a group of friends who know eachother in the real world as being the same as fucking Facebook.

  • Just received an email from feddit.online saying they've geoblocked UK IPs due to the Online Safety Act

    Jump

  • I'm just waiting for all UK users to be banned from anything that isn't Facebook or X. It's absolutely ridiculous and a huge win for big tech as it locks us in to their platforms and their platforms only. Those of us with a bit of tech knowledge will work around it but it's infuriating.

    Ubisoft Says Monetization ‘Makes The Player Experience More Fun’

    Jump

  • Prince of Persia sands of time, Beyond Good and Evil, Rayman, Splinter Cell, etc. They were very prolific back when they and the rest of the industry understood that you couldn't just bet all your money on a single title all the time, you had to have some dog-shit movie tie-ins and terrible Barbie games to keep the lights on.

  • Does anyone else find HiFi Rush highly overrated?

    Jump

  • I loved hi-fi rush. I loved the soundtrack, I loved how satisfying the combat system was while still being challenging to pull off consistently well. I always felt I was incentivised to vary my combos because of the DMC-like style meter. I loved the old-school 3d platformer feel as that was nostalgic for me. It was also just such a joyful game. Ok the story has down beats but overall it's a really happy game. I absolutely loved my time with it.
