  • The Quiet Revolution: GNU/Linux Crosses 6% Desktop Market Share—And It’s Just the Beginning

    Jump

  • So that's 13% of desktop users being on Linux. That's much more than I anticipated.

  • Yep

  • If I've got someone else that's also into it and frequently wants to do it together, then it's waaay easier for me to continue it. Kinda sucks cause it makes me feel like I'm putting the onus on others to keep me involved. I swear I'm not doing that on purpose!

    It's probably a little harder for people with ADHD to stick with something through the lulls because we don't have that intrinsic motivation driving us to be able to experience that delayed gratification.

    When trying to build a routine or a habit, it's like clearing a path through a forest and building a trail. It takes everyone dedication and effort. But for a lot of people (not everyone) with ADHD, it's probably more like a thick-ass jungle. I can do it, too, and it's gonna be a strugglebus. But once it's cleared and the pavement is down, consistent foot traffic is usually all that's needed to keep it clear.

  • I wasted 2h trying to figure out why GTA V only run at 35fps and use 25w of power, turn out my dumb ass set power profiles daemon to powersaving mode and forgot about it.

  • Hell yeah, it's kinda mind bending isn't it? Feels like dragging the mouse through sand when going back to 60Hz after getting used to it haha

  • Epic reduce their cut to 0% for the first $1 million in revenue for devs on the Epic Games Store

  • Source 2 is closed source, however it's absolutely available to third parties. There are a couple non-Valve Source 2 games in development right now.

  • Ubuntu explores replacing gnu utils with rust based uutils

  • I personally don't see the point.

  • Ooohh! Interesting. You've got me curious about that now. I'll have to look into it.

  • Ah, I see! Yeah, a bigger catalog would be nice. You can add more repositories to it, enable Flathub, which provide more options, but something about it does feel hamstrung.

    The Firefox thing is something I know about! You can set a config option in the about:config page to tell Firefox to use your desktop's standard dialogue. It has to do with XDG Desktop specifications, I think

  • Maybe they were putting their hair up? Or taking a sweatshirt off? Or they were headbanging really hard. Or they're not bifocals and are nearsided?

    You're totally right. I'm just being difficult.

  • In Firefox, you can disable the clipboard events. I've done this for the rare case of me copy+pasting a password and forgetting to clear the clipboard after.

    On Android, I've noticed that it's possible for apps to read from the clipboard, to read OTP tokens for example. Since I noticed that a while back, I've always been wary of the clipboard on any device I've used.

  • I putz with Discover sometimes. Though I have no idea how it resolves package updates under the hood, as it often will produce a different manifest than running dnf itself.

    What would you like to see improved?

  • SUSE's Open Build Service absolutely rules, too. I use Fedora personally, but would switch to Tumbleweed any day. I've gone back and forth, eventually settling on Fedora only because of familiarity with Red Hat.

    There are things I miss, big one being Zypper. It's slow as balls but it's usability and ability to dig through packages is unmatched, in my opinion.

  • I'm not a systemd guru, but I do find it relatively easy to work with.

    I've noticed that a lot of it is actually made up of separate binaries and daemons. Is it wrong or misleading to think of systemd as a collection of utilities that share a common DSL as opposed to a strict monolith?

  • 'We can't do computer graphics anymore without artificial intelligence. We compute one pixel, we infer the other 32': Jensen thinks AI is integral to next-gen graphics tech

    Jump

  • With you there. The workload on developers is reduced with these features, to a degree. But, instead of saved effort then getting directed to working on gameplay mechanics and such, to me it feels like many devs just see it as time/money saved, producing a game that looks and plays like one from 10 years ago, but runs like it's cutting edge.

    For instance, Abiotic Factor. That game on my RX 6800 XT runs at 40-50fps when at 100% resolution scaling at 1440p. Why? It's got the fidelity of Half Life 1, why does it need temporal upscaling to run better? (I adore that game btw, Abiotic Factor is so much fun and worth getting even if playing alone!)

    Not saying that's how every dev is, I know there are plenty of games coming out nowadays that look and run great with creators that care. Just feels like there are too many games that rely on these machine learning based features too heavily, resulting in blurriness, smearing, shimmering, on top of poorer performance.

    Just hoping the expectation that something like an RTX 4090 does not become the default cost-of-entry in order to play PC games because of this. It would be unfortunate for the ability of game developers to create and tune by-hand to become a lost art.

  • Jesus. I always assumed there was creepy, evil "rich people doing weird shit" kinda stuff going on behind the scenes there, but this is worse than the masked-bloodpact-orgy-dressup deal I imagined.

  • I actually don't understand the hate Sweet Baby gets. The most I've been able to understand about it is that they use inclusive language or something.

    Is that honestly it? Because that seems like a lot of wasted effort spent hating something pretty dang benign...

  • I'm going to be honest, I truly think there's more value to be able to enjoy things freely in life. People who find delight easily aren't as foolish as you'd think. When I'm salty, those are the people I find myself envying. I'm the one who feels like an idiot when I notice.

    I would rather hang out with someone that allows themselves to feel joy in silly things rather than one who has no patience for mediocrity.

  • Man, I get so fucking bummed out every time I think of them. Can you imagine how excited and proud they were to be a part of goddamb STAR WARS?

    Then all the shit gets dumped all over them and they're endlessly ridiculed for something they likely loved and were happy to be a part of.

    The total lack of empathy and compassion burns a hole in my stomach.
