  • Rust bad Jai good

    Jump

  • Loooolll! I love them raising a stink about forking I'm another language. Go for it! Nobody cares and I'm sure it'll reach feature parity by the time paru is updated. 🙄 And then mentioning Lunduke saying something negative about Rust. Isn't he some wacko conspiracy/Linux YouTuber? That all made for a good laugh.

    Anyway, I really like Paru, but I've switched back to yay until they get a fix. Really not a big deal.

  • What is your development environment?

  • Doom Emacs on Arch with Plasma.

  • Jordan Peterson’s School Isn’t Accredited. Smith Offered Alberta’s Help | The Tyee

    Jump

  • Fuck off Smith. Go clean your room.

  • Arch-based distro EndeavourOS gets a new Ganymede release

    Jump

  • EndeavourOS is great! It's pure Arch with a few of their utilities included (which are easy to remove). I like that it provides a good set of defaults for a fully configured desktop system, so there's no fiddling with installing every thing else you need after the initial OS installation.

  • Summit for Lemmy

    Jump

  • I believe source is here

  • Epic CEO wants Valve and Steam to stop requiring devs to disclose generative AI usage

    Jump

  • That's why I used the word "decent" instead of something like "good".

    Valve (along with Itch.io) also removed several LGBTQ2S+ games recently due to some complaints from payment processors, and I think that's terrible. (your first link is not working at the moment, so maybe that was mentioned there?) GoG, on the other hand, released some of those removed games for free.

    Valve is absolutely not perfect and they have done other bad things before, but when you're competing with Epic, or EA Origin, or whatever Ubisoft calls their shit, it's easy to see why they dominate the market. GoG is probably the only other company that also behaves "decently", has a good product, and is in a similar space with Steam.

  • Epic CEO wants Valve and Steam to stop requiring devs to disclose generative AI usage

    Jump

  • Another example that Steam doesn't maintain dominance via market abuse, but rather by being decent in a market where the competition is downright awful.

  • Ford tells protesters to 'go find a job' as controversial housing bill passes at Queen's Park

    Jump

  • Yes, one of those many jobs that the job creators are creating from their reduced taxes that they're definitely not using for their own benefit after mass layoffs.

  • Steam Deck LCD 256GB model on sale until December 1st!

    Jump

  • Steam Deck LCD 256GB model on sale until December 1st!

    Jump

  • 256GB ought to be enough for anyone!

    I run most of my games off an SD card and it's been fine.

    (It seems people have not heard of the Bill Gates 640KB quote and/or my delivery is off)

  • The CEO of Microsoft AI is unimpressed by the negative criticism of Windows AI.

    Jump

  • This is the worst! I can't stand it when I open up some software and I have to click through some bullshit tour of new things I don't care about.

    It's one of the reasons I'm happy I took the time to learn emacs. The UI has been consistent for decades and it works the same across all platforms.

  • Steam Controller

    Jump

  • Touchpads on the Deck are really great for on screen menus for things like ability bars and whatnot.

  • Steam Hardware Announcement

    Jump

  • I'm looking forward to the Frame. I have no interest in giving any money to Meta and Valve has been great with Linux support. I've seen people complain about the specs, but if it's a reasonable price it looks pretty good to me!

  • Could somebody recommend me a reliable and safe email service to use instead of Google and Microsoft ones?

    Jump

  • I've started using Disroot recently and I'm satisfied so far.

  • Real talk, which would you rather have: Megaman 12, or Megaman X9?

    Jump

  • Megaman or X?

  • Song of the Day: Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd

    Jump

  • Fantastic song and my favorite Pink Floyd album. Great album art too.

  • Wayland and Sunshine (Streaming Games)

    Jump

  • I run Sunshine on Arch-KDE-Wayland with a 4070Ti and stream at 1440 to another PC running the same thing. I haven't checked frame rates in a while but it seems to be running fine for me.

    Does the Thor run Linux with the standard Moonlight client? If you haven't looked yet, double check Moonlight's settings and make sure the frame rate, resolution, and other settings look ok.

    If you're streaming a Steam game, also make sure Steam doesn't have it's recording enabled. I think Valve enabled it by default some time ago and that tanked my frame rate at the time. There's a "Game Recording" section in Steam's settings where you can turn it off.

    Sunshine also has logs in the Troubleshooting section on its web client. Maybe see if there's anything fishy in there too.

  • Alberta premier ‘cannot double-talk’ about Ottawa depending on her interests: Chrétien

    Jump

  • Typical conservative MO. When things are going my way it's all about how great I am and everyone else is useless. When things aren't going my way, it's all about how everyone is getting in the way and we all need to work together to achieve my goals.

    Alberta separatism is even stupider. If they think getting a pipeline is hard now, imagine having to cross international borders. Even if they went south through the USA there will still be complications.

    Good on Chrétien for calling this out publicly.

  • Just Talk To It - the no-bs Way of Agentic Engineering

    Jump

  • "Agentic Engineering". No, it's called vibe coding. AI bros are so desperate for legitimacy they make up fancy sounding titles for themselves.

    But this isn't engineering. Engineering takes rigor and discipline and process and understanding... A lot of it is extremely boring too. The code itself is probably the easiest (and I'd argue least important) part of software engineering. These guys are burning down forests to poorly automate the easy part.

    I'm not saying that coding is easy in an absolute sense, but only relative to the rest of the discipline. A good engineer knows how to design/architect a system, understand tradeoffs, balance customer/user requirements with business needs, set up proper testing and releases, properly document everything, etc.
