  • Blender 5.0 Introducing HDR Support On Linux With Vulkan + Wayland

    Jump

  • Blender 5.0 already huh? I think I started using Blender at 2.4.x. I think the it took half a decade for the version number to go to 2.7.x. Blender has been developing at an incredible pace since 2.8.

  • Godot 4.5 Beta Released With Better Wayland Support

    Jump

  • However, since currently the Godot launcher is bundled together with the Godot Engine version and all that updates together, late in development of a project you'd want to avoid auto updates since it may break your project at unfortunate times by introducing feature incompatibilities though feature depreciation or regression bugs that causes issues for your game.

  • Huh. I never really thought about what you wrote about airbnb, but it hit me hard now. My partner actually works for an Airbnb and they have an enormous amount of property and apartments in rural areas which could've housed families. And to think there are many more of these businesses doing the same thing.

    I rarely use airbnbs, I prefer hotels, so I haven't done a lot of contribution there but still, this has convinced me to never use one. Unless, the stay is in their house, or in a small house in their garden etc, which I actually have been in some years ago.

  • I hope I live long enough to experience this scenario.

  • "You need to try Linux"

    Jump

  • Correct, Tumbleweed is the one I started using.

  • I switched from Fedora to openSUSE recently and it has been painless. Would recommend to anyone who are looking to get away from US companies and US jurisdiction. Edit: note that it uses RPM package manager though, I don't know yet if that is problematic or not. If someone knows then please elaborate on that.

  • Fedora 42 installer defaults to btrfs? What's everyone's opinion or experience on that?

    Jump

  • I was pleasantly surprised to learn this with openSUSE as well last week. It already saved my buttocks once when I messed up something with the greetd config file. Recovering from the latest working snapshot was easy. OpenSUSE is a very nice distro. Bought some merch to support them a bit.

  • Tony's Chocolonely

    Jump

  • Ah nice. I had made the assumption that this was American based on the name and wrapping. Guess I will give this a try the next time I'm out for some chocolate 🙂.

  • Atomic Linux Distros: What Barriers Stand Between You and Making the Switch?

    Jump

  • I just haven't bothered reading up on what atomic systems are yet. I get the gist of it, just not enought to really understand how it affects my current workflow if I were to switch.

  • Sway 1.11-rc1 Released With Many New Features & New Wayland Protocols

    Jump

  • Alright, I think I understood some of those words. Happy to see Sway being worked on. I did a clean install with openSUSEway last week and slowly but surely I'm starting to get it into the state I want from it. Hopefully this will be my final desktop environment.

  • To join or not to join? Norway is edging closer to the EU

    Jump

  • We probably would not stand to gain much. Our ex-prime minister Solverg is advocating for it because we would have a seat at the table and influence the economy that affects us more. Some economists say it would be beneficial economically for similar reasons, in addition to making the Euro our currency so trading with other European countries would be more stable and predictable, since now you pay less or more depending on how they fluctuate. The Norwegian Crowns (NOK) is not doing so well the past 10 years and there are worries that it will not recover again etc. I like the NOK currency myself. Depending on what business you are in having the crown become worth less could be a good thing.

  • Amazon alternatives

    Jump

  • That's nice. Will check out this one.

  • Confirmed: Microsoft stops new data centres worldwide

    Jump

  • We've all had our fun now with watching companies and investors throwing billions on these LLMs but after all that we have something which does not solve billion dollar problems.. They've already scrubbed all the data out there and let's be frank here, the LLMs still suck. It feels like chatting with these LLMs is like overcoming an obstacle, I end up doing web searches myself most of the time anyway. These LLMs can't think or reason, let's stop trying to fake it and start using these models for something useful. Medical is the obvious one. Surveillance and military will probably be where the shift will be to primarily. There will be interesting things with pattern recognition for sound and images, but that's about it.

  • To join or not to join? Norway is edging closer to the EU

    Jump

  • I dunno. We like being able to make our own decisions and self-govern. I'd be surprised if the majority voted in favor of joining the EU even now. As the article states, yeah it seems the common citizen want to distance themselves from the US now, but we live a pretty good life already and there are many unknowns regarding what joining the EU will mean for us in the long term. I don't wanna join the EU just to spite the US, however tempting that is right now. Though I believe signaling the middle finger to the US government is important, -- I will do it in other ways in the short term at least. I have started moving all personal products and services out of US companies and into the EU etc.
