  • AMD Announces New Desktop Zen 3 Chips With 2 New APUs and the Ryzen 7 5700X3D

    Jump

  • AM4 has been around for so long and is owned by so many people, there's still a big market for those who want to upgrade without replacing their motherboard and RAM at the same time.

  • Ubisoft Exec Says Gamers Need to Get 'Comfortable' Not Owning Their Games for Subscriptions to Take Off

    Jump

  • Ever since they started the Epic/Uplay exclusivity stuff, it's made it easier than ever to avoid buying their games.

  • #129 Hello 2024 · This Week in GNOME

    Jump

  • Dor Askayo is joining the team to continue their work on variable refresh rate (vrr) support in Mutter

    Hell yeah, hopefully this makes it in time for Gnome 46.

  • Tesla Cybertruck gets less than 80% of advertised range in YouTuber’s test

    Jump

  • Traveling at high speeds just takes a lot of power regardless of fuel, but ICE cars are so inefficient in city driving it makes highways look good in comparison. 25-50mph might be more efficient, but every time you brake that kinetic energy is turned into waste heat, totally negating the benefit of driving slower.

    EVs on the other hand have regenerative braking systems. Rather than using friction to slow the car down, they just use the motors by applying resistance to the wheels. The kinetic energy is used to charge the battery while slowing the car down. You get the benefit of slower speeds without much braking loss, so this is where EVs shine.

  • I hate Tesla and especially the Cybertruck as much as the next guy, but this was a highway test and that sounds like a completely normal result.

    I own a Bolt EV which is rated for 259 miles of range. On the highway, that's more like ~220. That sounds bad, but the other side of it is that I get ~300 miles of range during my normal work commutes through the city. This is just how EVs are, the estimated range is based on a mixed test. EVs are backwards compared to ICE, you'll get ~20% less range than the EPA estimate driving highway speeds and ~20% more doing purely city driving.

  • What's your favorite music player on Linux?

    Jump

  • Navidrome’s web player is actually pretty good and I could totally live with it if third party clients weren’t an option. Supersonic is more performant when loading 1800+ song playlists though, and infinite scrolling instead of the paginated web library is really nice.

  • I stream from my Navidrome server, Supersonic is great.

  • Do any of you have that one service that just breaks constantly? I'd love to love Nextcloud, but it sure makes that difficult at times

    Jump

  • I'm absolutely at that point with Nextcloud. I kind of didn't want to go the syncthing route, but I'll probably give it a shot anyway since none of the NC alternatives seem any better.

    Jump

  • This is probably what I'm doing wrong. I'm using linuxserver's docker which should be okay to auto update, but it just continuously degrades over time with updates until it becomes non-functional. Random login failures, logs failing to load, file thumbnails disappearing, the goddamn Collabora office docker that absolutely refuses to work for more than one week, etc.

    I just nuke the NC docker and database and start from scratch every year or so.

  • Amazon plans to make its own hydrogen to power vehicles

    Jump

  • I’m skeptical of hydrogen for consumer vehicles, but it makes total sense for something like this where refueling stations can be built on-site. If they can solve the refueling problem, there’s no reason to have 200+ expensive batteries for a fleet of electric forklifts.

  • What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"?

    Jump

  • I daily drive Fedora, but I’ve used Arch, OpenSUSE, Debian, and more. Once you get used to how Linux works, distro doesn’t really matter that much aside from edge case distros that operate totally differently like Nix. I chose Fedora because I like the dnf package manager.

    The only distro I don’t like is Ubuntu. I had to setup a Linux VM at work so I figured Ubuntu would be a good choice for that. Firefox is painfully slow to open because of Snap, so I uninstall it and run “apt install firefox” which Ubuntu overrides and installs the Snap again.

    Fuck. That. Deleted the VM and installed Debian instead.

  • Plus, Nix’ docs are horrendous imo

    I’ve been learning Nix recently and I can 100% agree on this. Their community forum is excellent though.

  • Relative size comparison of social media platforms (December 2023)

    Jump

  • I think I got Snapchat and Vine mixed up or combined in my head. I've never used either one, I thought it shut down years ago, but what I'm remembering is Vine shutting down.

  • Relative size comparison of social media platforms (December 2023)

    Jump

  • I'm surprised that the fediverse is as popular as it is, I would've guessed <500k. That's awesome. I'm also shocked that Threads is apparently that popular, I completely forgot it existed immediately after it launched. I also didn't know that Snapchat still existed, so maybe I'm just out of touch on social media stuff.

  • There's still room for improvement, but Linux gaming has come a long way in a short time.

  • a commercial version of WINE

    That would be CrossOver by CodeWeavers. They're actually a huge contributor to upstream Wine and have worked with Valve (and I think Collabora?) several times over the past few years. I'm kind of tempted to buy a copy of CrossOver to support them even though I'd never use it, lol

  • Publishers who do this make shit games anyway.

    As someone who really wants to see desktop Linux grow, I try not to think like this because I know others care about these games...but goddammit if I don't completely agree with you on the inside. I do not understand the obsession with these games products, they're exclusively designed to keep you playing and paying for as long as possible to avoid fomo for digital garbage.

    There are a tiny handful of non-live service games that still use anti-cheat, and most of those have already enabled support for Proton. Dragon Ball FighterZ is literally the only exception that I can think of, and even that's playable offline IIRC.

    Jump

  • That's a perfect way to put it. From constantly relying on ProtonDB to occasionally checking areweanticheatyet.com.

  • Mindlessly watching glxgears is the greatest experience a GPU can render.

  • It took a lot of work, but I've created the definitive Linux distro flowchart

    Jump

  • I totally agree, that's a way more important factor when you're starting out with Linux.

    Gotta be Gnome though
