  • What GitHub alternative do you use?

    Jump

  • I actually forgot the /s. And I guess I wasn't clear enough. This is less than a drop in the pool for them. An image build that takes them around 15 mins including setting up the VM for the build, takes me around the same time on a machine with a 6-core Ryzen 5 at 2.375GHz, with 8GB RAM. So because they're running it on their high end hardware and it still takes that long, they aren't allocating that many resources to the VM, meaning that it costs them basically nothing.

    TLDR: If any of this was a cost that had any significance to their bottom line, it would have been restricted and/or monetised.

  • I'm actually continuously running github actions that I don't need running, just because I can, and because it uses up their resources.

    That's something I really like about Ublue: they use Github actions, so if you build a custom image, you're using Github's processing power for it. So, go do that. Make hundreds. Bleed Microsoft dry.

  • It's almost 2025, what futuristic things did you think we would have had by now or accomplished?

    Jump

  • Yeah, there was a period in time where people were discussing Helium-3 as a source of fuel that we could very easily and efficiently farm on the moon, which was seen as a key step in becoming a space-faring species. Okay, so we know where the fuel is and we can get there, so companies can start using Earth fuel to send helium-3 extraction machines, which can then be used to collect fuel for them to use in further missions and eventually, a small amount of helium-3 will be used to fuel a mission that returns with massive amounts of it, so we have a fuel, and now we can start exploring space even further, with people. It was the clear direction to take.

  • Google is preparing to let you run Linux apps on Android, just like Chrome OS

    Jump

  • I was thinking the same thing! But it would be running from a Debian VM so I'm not sure how realistic that is. And I doubt it would have access to android apps.

  • If AI is just autocorrect on steroids (it is), I wonder if actual good old autocorrect will see any improvements

  • Plasma 6.2 is out and it look so much prettier even if it's just a bugs fix update, thanks you KDE devs

  • I'm a simple man. I see Tabliss, I like.

  • asking lemmy to 'Draw a duck and share your art'

    Jump

  • Safe to say I don't have a career as an artist, unless it's abstract art. Still, I was going for more of a penguin-like body intentionally. I didn't fail at the task, I just found an approach that requires a skill I haven't trained yet.

  • Similar issues here, but this time with steam i.e steam launches, the window appears, doesn't fully load and crashes or closes with no error messages (running it from terminal) and then it keeps on restarting and trying to launch again, always unsuccessfully. It's been happening for the last few days.

    Now, Lutris suddenly requires umu and an update to the steam runtime to launch a game with Proton, so I can't play my games. Very annoying and weird.

  • What's the most useful thing in the room you're in right now?

  • I used to have a bottle of water but I drank it, so... bed?

  • Thousands of Linux systems infected by "perfctl" malware since 2021

    Jump

  • Maybe not related but I had an issie with wireplumber where it would suddenly take up any free CPU resources and use them up, jacking up my cpu usage up to crazy high numbers, often to 100% at times where the expected cpu usage would be at 20% at most.

    I haven't experienced this in the last week or so, so maybe it was fixed in an update? I'm on Fedora, btw. I just wanted to share, so I can find out if anyone else had the same issue.

  • Aren't System76 essentially rebranded Clevo laptops? Where do you find Clevo machines at an actually good price?

  • Okay, I've wanted to do the same thing for ages. Time to follow up my words with action!

  • [KDE] I know you miss it, too

  • Same. But I still miss the XP-rience, from the booting logo (the equivalent of Plymouth) to the Chess Icon for the accounts, to the iconic wallpaper, bar, popup menu and window decorations.

  • Switch emulator Ryujinx shuts down development after “contact by Nintendo”

  • Yup. I've done it myself when I switched to Gitlab. It's really straightforward.

  • Beware Hollywood’s digital demolition: it’s as if your favourite films and TV shows never existed

  • If only. I'm a student living in student accommodation. I can't set up a NAS because hosting things on the network is against their policy, and I also wouldn't feel comfortable having that type of hardware in my room. And if electricity bills skyrocket because of me, I'll be forced to pay them.

  • What's a safe place to buy storage online? I've seen horror stories of an sd card in a drive enclosure, and modifying the storage to make it appear larger than it is.
