recently got asahi running on an m1 macbook pro. loving the battery life that I get out of it

for an entire year's worth of development, I honestly would have expected more. Good to see that improvements are being made, but still, it's pretty small

And Epic Games announced a big layoff coming soon. I dunno what's happening in the industry rn, but it's not looking good

This is nothing for a company like them

I didn't think that the market share was actually changing much? Like it's low but it's still used, especially on Linux workstations with nothing else pre-installed

I use Linux mint on my old Thinkpad and for the most part it works great. I use Kubuntu on my desktop. Asides from from weird hardware issues I had when initially setting it up, works great as well (Wayland too).

I agree with others: Linux mint, fedora, Ubuntu. Honestly, whatever gives you the least number of issues

Bilt is backed by Wells Fargo I'm pretty sure. All of their other communication has been through email, it's just this one thing

Context: I'm trying to get points for rent

I'm guessing that it's going to be hard for us outside of China to have a good idea of just how much has been deleted

Cleaning house which is good. Selling old smartphones is turning out out to be a pain. Got my windows desktop turned into kubuntu! Overall been pretty happy with it

also trying out mastodon again, will see how that goes

Going okay~ My responsibilities at work keep increasing, but at the same time I'm able to influence more.

I'm planning on converting more of my home office space to double as dance practice space. Wanna learn more Charleston & Lindy hop

Haven't paid much attention to this side of things, but this will definitely be an important goal to reach

Need to get more companies to stop selling their items solely on Amazon. I hate when I try to go to a manufacturers website and they only sell what I'm looking for on amazon

Is this going to be a truly new key or just a shortcut?

What are the chances this actually happens?

awesome to hear. haven't lived in CA for a while though

Being able to download your own data would be a start

My team practices rebasing instead of merging, but generally our tasks are pretty separate so conflicts are uncommon. The ones that we do have are not that big.

However I am anticipating more of them now that we're changing build systems

How am I supposed to play an always online video game on the plane

im back

When my current laptop eventually dies, I'm gonna see what framework has before any other. This looks like something that I could upgrade & maintain for decades

my team had issues when IT accidentally changed permissions on the files inside a bare git repo located on a file-share. Otherwise it works okay as people clone and work locally. Not the best solution but we're working around restrictions that makes this the easiest thing to do

Work:

• C/C++
• Python
• Matlab (don't use this one)

Personal:

• Julia
• Rust
• Fortran (trying out something specific rn)

My favorites right now are Julia & Rust. In their respective fields they're a breath of fresh air and I enjoy coding in them so much. If Carbon ever manages to get off the ground floor I'll be interested in trying it out. Regular C++ has too many footguns

I haven't heard of it actually, I'll take a look

Good to hear that the fight is going

This is the unfortunate truth. Mathworks tools are heavily used in the engineering space, so it's an obvious choice for academia to teach.

As much as I try to get my company off of Matlab/Simulink, it's a challenge. Just so much legacy already written in it

learning the shim sham! fun times

PC version. It had some weird bugs when it came to me putting in our income and looking like it duplicated stuff, but at the end it showed everything just fine.

Got my tax return recently, was a good chunk too compared to last year which was nice

I used H&R block this year because my wife is a contractor and I don't understand the rules in that scenario lol

Thanks for the info!

This 100%. Even if you don't like canonical, you can get Ubuntu for free and then later pay for support if you need. They have experience managing fleets of systems.

There's a post on Reddit where a Brazilian state government org is testing out Ubuntu at scale.

I spent 3 days trying to get manjaro to work on my old macbook air 3, and still ran into a borked display sometimes after opening from sleep

I installed endeavour os (online failed, offline worked), and so far I haven't had a single major issue with it

I daily drive both windows and Linux mint. In my experience, it's been getting a lot better but isn't ready for non-technical users who just want something to work. I needed to disable the nipple button on my laptop cause it drifts hard and I had to resort to the terminal for that.

I'm liking mint a lot, but I would suggest having at the least have one windows machine that you can quickly access.

Nothing's gonna be perfect for everyone 👍

How many levees we gotta build

Does this also apply to the Firefox PWA on Android? Whenever I hit the icon a window briefly appears but then it dies

Regular Firefox works though

Great news to hear. It would be cool if they put out more info/news/blogs about the issues they run into

I think I'll keep at least one windows boot available for me to run specific games or software as not everything runs well on Linux yet. I'm excited to see how much better support on the steam deck gets soon

Wow that's a long time! I think I'm gonna go ahead and try it

Interesting for sure, I never would have thought you could build an entire desktop with JavaScript. Getting support for regular Linux apps would be a must for me

Would this allow for users to customize their desktop with their own JavaScript? Not sure if I missed it, but does it handle multiple monitors?

Didn't realize you could host your own, that's good to know

I'm hoping that something like this will start affecting the smartphone market
