Bazzite was assembled, by some very cool people
but then again, why these cool people keep saying things like "cloud native"... is a mystery to me...

Funny enough I had not fully realized this about Steam Deck myself, because I kind of made a special exception for Steam Deck to prevent myself from nerding out on it too much: this is strictly for fun!
(That's why I only changed hostname, replaced the default terminal emulator and set up Syncthing. Oh, and SSH access but that's it, I promise! :D)
I suspect the “cloud native” marketing term in this context just means you can run the same image file in a vm, vps, bare metal, whatever.
...yeah that's what makes it suspicious. Alone it can be a good thing but why rush to mention it for a fricking gaming/home distro? As if running gaming/home distro anywhere else than as close to the hardware as possible was somehow inherently normal or even good.
(The idea of cleanly separating "user user space" does sound inherently good, if achievable...)
Again, who are they marketing to?
Thanks, I think I've already heard about this architecture, although I don't think there was any standard term for that. Maybe it's time to try one of these out one day...
It's still weird that hey would sprinkle "cloud native" all over the place just to confuse people like me. (But then again, maybe I've been living under a rock...)
Thanks for sharing, I haven't read it yet but it looks like there's lot of interesting stuff there. (Definitely not a "14 min read" 😉 )
I moved from (10+ years) Vim to Neovim about last year an I actually used Kickstart, but honestly, while it's nice to give you a start (especially from people coming from other, more "rich-by-default" editors), there definitely is the problem that I don't get to really understand how my own config works. ...which makes it harder to debug problems but also to ask for help.
And problems will inevitably come, especially with such an active ecosystem of plugins.
I've been planning to do a deeper dive into my config--perhaps even rewrite parts of it---so your article is going to be a good source.
Maybe I'm more like a bovine when it comes to digesting.
I graze on stuff, then later I will regurgitate it and slowly chew and process it again. (...and sometimes again, etc.. until I suddenly realize that I've learned something..) The grazing is separate process, and my greed makes it already unpredictable enough. (The thing with Internet meadows is, there's always another meadow nearby.)
Yeah I have bad attention span but all that means is that even if the article is 5 minute I will be googling every other word and and opening every other link, and THAT's far more significant than the length of the article.
After all, there's a reason I did not end up reading the original "14 min article" (which by the way got rated almost an hour by Firefox reader mode, go figure) and went on to post this... :D
How does the estimate help you decide?
I don't get it. If I'm interested in something, I'm interested in it regardless of the length of an article, right?
I mean, maybe I'm not interested in all of it, but then I can just spend, say, 30 seconds evaluating whether the article is any good and whether it spends a paragraph or two on the very topic I'm curious about. Length of the article does not have much bearing on that, it's more about whether I know the terms I'm looking for and can spot them. (Of course, massive length may hint I will spend more time sifting through, but peeking at scrollbar is enough to realize that.)
If the thing I'm interested in is buried in a massive wall of text, so what? I can ignore the rest of the article as much as I can ignore the rest of the blog (or the internet...)
The real unpredictable thing for me is always that even if I'm looking for topic X, I might actually need to learn about W first, and often I'm underestimating the relevancy of W and its own depth. So I could spend 1 minute reading about X but still find myself unable to use the knowledge. That's regardless of whether the knowledge was in a 1h long article or 10 min.
The orange guy is the Kool-Aid Man of Overton's windows.
raising a child is also work to be valued (which you benefitted from yourself, btw).
This.
And it's not a binary thing, it's a scale. Kids who are supported by emotionally stable parents who are able to spend their time together are more likely to succeed in life than kids who are left to their own devices and end up picking up all sorts of insecurities due to the parent being sort of a nerve wreck, and them eventually feeling like a burden all the time.
I will happily support my colleague spending more of his time with his daughters, because then when I'm old, I have higher chance that those daughters being confident, nice and educated adult people who can produce economical value. Only then, part of that value can come back to me in various forms of support, whether it's pension, better social services or just more options. (Unless they move to another country -- but then again, that depends on the relative quality of life in this country, which in turn boils down to the same principle.)
Now, maybe I'm a nice guy here, but none of the above logic requires me to be nice. I could be a totally selfish asshole and still the position works out the same.
Somehow this room gives me Theme Hospital vibes which I never wanted to admit, hadn't I seen the real version. (Now I understand why my doctors were always depressed.)
The more I look into the high-res picture, the more mildly bleak details I notice.
- Torn plastic wrapping of tiny plastic bottles on the chipboard counter.
- His sleeve is mildly dirty.
- The shoes on the shelf seem awkward to access over the chair.
- The whiteboard has permanently marked spots "use me to write" and "use me to clean", both empty.
- That "pizza" is barely an oversized muffin.
- Fire prohibited.
- The mirror is pretty dirty.
- Corner of the steel cabinet is a bit bent.
- The badly attached sheet of paper hanging from the whiteboard; you can't read anything.
- On the top shelf of the cupboard, something is kinda balancing there.
- Cheap plates not perfectly aligned.
- ROTATE:
- ROTATE
- ROTATE
- ROTATE
- The pedal on the trash bin is weirdly bent.
Not that any of this really matters, though.
Most commenters here don't appreciate how sad the image really is: the headset is playing some corporate prefabricated Happy Birthday message, starting and ending with "Loving your work." company motto accompanied with nothingmusic in background.
nit: you mean
yaml.safe_load().In other words, the beak is a "Short Sword of poison +1"?
Who needs table when you are truly "Loving your work.".
I think we have far more that we agree on in this conversation than we disagree on
👍
For better or worse, these folks have come to believe that “slick looking” = thoughtfully designed = featureful and advanced. And that “sterile/boring looking” = amateur UX design = complicated and difficult
Well that's a good point, I'd say if someone's attention cannot be captured by the content, then that's a different kind of audience.
I'm probably the opposite: my favorite chat technology is (you guessed it) IRC. (Not despite, but, among other things, because of its minimalism making it much more accessible, since with clients like control over color themes is a non-issue, as well as over distractions such as pictures, website previews or animations.) It's a learned lesson though, I've just been using computers for long enough that I've simply learned that things that are full of whistles and bells are almost always ADHD minefields, if not outright waste of time. I've learned far, far, far more from man pages in terminal than Stack Overflow (and that's not even whistle-bell-ey thing.)
Human preferences can be mind-boggling. For f-'s sake if there's anything that traumatized me more than having to use threads in Google Chat, it's that I've heard people say they liked it. Yeah, I don't think I've ever recovered from that. It's like clicking the really wrong link on p
||nhub.We can’t break that mentality in the general public by simply repeating over and over that they’re wrong. It just doesn’t work that way, sadly
That's why I'm not suggesting to do that.
The right way is just to do the right thing and let the users find out that (or whether) the stereotype is wrong. It's an uphill battle but IMO that's just how it works; the good forms will win over long time; they just need to be maintained with patience and honesty. That's why I'm against this proposal which seems to be just guessing what some unspecified (but large, trust me) group of users surely want.
It’s an “abopt, extend, extinguish” approach and it works. There’s a reason corporate enshitification pioneered that strategy. We can use it too, but for good :)
I guess my point is that you taking it on yourself to distinguish what is "good" or "bad" -- that's the problematic part. (I see that you did not mean that seriously, though...)
I think you badly misunderstood my take.
Nah I just responded to a minor part (which I might have misunderstood). Sorry ... 😈 🤣 .
I actually agree with everything in your post.
I think a good attitude is "let there be a thousand boutiques" and "let everyone know there is choice, and let's work together the choice is real (ie. as little lock-in as possible)". It's not necessarily bad if there is one or few big ones. I'm perfectly fine with people going to Starbucks (heck, even I used to, before I moved to a place where there's a superior small coffee shop right next to my house).
I don't think the point about "weakness" of small groups is a very strong one. (No pun intended.) What other types of small groups are weak? Are music bands also weak? Maybe not Metallica, but what about your local alt rock band? What about families, are they also weak?
The "weakness" is relevant if we're thinking about the potential of other subjects abusing or exploiting them (an boy do we know how capitalism excels at this game). That's why we should have systems in place which serve to protect them: not just merely on the basis that they are weak, but on the basis that the diversity is good, if not necessary, for the society as a whole.
But back to Lemmy: well, I agree with basically all your points, but do we agree on what constitutes "accessible to newcomers"? We might not.
Personally I think current UI is pretty close to perfect: things like zoom, middle click (to open new tab) just work, it does not run too much Javascript, the text editor is responsive, layout of the page is obvious and efficient, overall there is not too much clutter--for me those things are SO much essential in how welcome I'm going to feel here.
And well, people will often say that maybe my tastes are niche because I'm a tech-savvy user or whatnot, I'm tired of that BS already. I don't think my mom would prefer cluttered, unreliable page which breaks or loses focus the moment you dare to zoom or change width of the window (eg. by flipping phone on a side). (Here I'm not at all describing Photon at all, I'm merely listing things that annoy me on so many other pages, while current Lemmy UI just gets them right.)
If people want change, they should back it up with more than what I see in this thread, most of which boils down to
- "I like Photon more" -- fine (also subjective),
- "I think (it its obvious that) newcomers will like Photon more" -- sure, but kinda arrogant to push that too hard without a really good evidence.
- "The other [insert some big site which is a BS comparison as their success heavily relies on lock-in or marketing] page looks more like Photon, and that means they are good to newcomers, we should mimic that (...lest we perish)!", yeah, let's be a cargo-cult.
...you mean, what if ... what if the cool Linux/FOSS hackers are somehow also very bad at marketing?
