So could an hdmi cable, there a lots of different hdmi specs as there are usb c specs. The problem is the lack of standardized labeling not the cables shapes. USB-C for everything would personally be my preference
I think I’d shoot for something like this for maybe a project 2 or so. I’ve messed a bit with cpal already because I wanted to mess around with doing some basic dsp stuff so I’d love to do a full easy effects replacement with this included. Or alternatively include something basic in the settings project I mentioned a bit higher up
This is some sage advice thank you. I’m guilt of always starting something super difficult and then going back. My first couple qt projects were forcibly scoped because I had actually end users I needed to keep in mind and that helped immensely.
These are all some very good ideas. I particularly like the ffmpeg idea. I do think a file manager is on the horizon for me eventually as well, I’ve always wanted to try making one
I’d love to do something this big in scope eventually maybe a couple projects down the road but I’d definitely want rust to be at the level of my main languages before I delve into that depth. I also would want to avoid the gimp development times it seems it takes forever for stuff over there
I think this a pretty good idea. There’s a few other ideas below as well that are like settings tweaks or ui for them, it might be cool to build out something kinda like what opensuse has with a bunch of settings put into a graphical app.
Yeah that’s fair. Many many many of my coworkers heavily rely on excel so I can understand this. I just really don’t like using it personally. It’s like vscode too much stuff thrown at me at once when I don’t need like 99%. Just let me write a script
Genuinely what do you need in excel you can’t do anywhere else? For me sheets are just glorified visual data storage. If I need to do complex stuff I can probably do it faster in polars or pandas than I can in excel
Arm Steamdeck? Sign me up! Arm on Linux ftw. I also have high hopes for the snapdragon x elite 2 to finally push me off macOS. Tangent on that I saw some reddit thread (yeah yeah reddit) and it mentioned that x elite 2 might support dgpus everyone said “but why though”? Well the answer is so that you can disable it and have killer battery life and then just enable it later for performance. Why wouldn’t everyone want that?
Hello Gen Z here no the fuck I don’t. I do ultimately think AI has some tiny modicum of value but absolutely is not worth the cost. Also fuck AI generated content specifically I could rant about that for ages. Also I really despise AI for making search engines worse. It now takes me multiple searches to find what I actually want and sometimes I have to prompt an llm just to find an article that’s helpful. Hell Reddit is the only useful place and that’s a hellscape of bots, nuked comments because of api protests and power hungry mods. So no I don’t like AI particularly much at all but especially not generative content.
I’m tired of paying taxes to people who don’t appreciate it, why can’t that money go to the things I actually want? If anything the Trumpites should be happy to be able to continue without the “damn libs”anyway
Edit: added quotations around damn libs because I imagine someone could interpret this literally
Really im just waiting for ladybird. I use safari on my apple devices because of battery life and Zen on Linux and Mac devices for ublock and foss. I’m ngl every time I use a chrome based browser though I’m reminded how websites are supposed to work everything is about 1 billion times faster. I sure hope ladybird will allow me to finally not browser hop / hate my browser. There’s no need for new browsers that aren’t foss at this point.
Privacy sure Linux has it beat. Security? Simply untrue, particularly by default, unless you put a lot of time into configuration, in not exactly sure where that narrative is from it’s completely false. macOS for example has way better app permission isolation that Linux does unless you use only flatpaks. Also the open source system scanner that gives devices a cybersecurity score that I’m forgetting the name of at the moment can be used to prove this correct without going into extremely long detail. Compare the results from macOS and Linux by default and it’s pretty solidly in macOS favor. I use both but this idea needs to stop being spread simply because people have a vendetta against closed source. I love Linux probably more than macOS but there are still reasons to like and use macOS.
I have windows specifically for one game with shitty anti cheat, I don’t like it but it is what is is.
