Back during the WoW days (the flying mount expansion), every time I would walk home from Uni I'd think: "This would be a lot faster if I turned into a crow and flew over these houses".

I played a Druid.

There is no amount of money you could pay me to get used to Windows Updates.

While it is good to be cognizant of this, playing AAA games for the same amount of time as the inference (a few seconds ?) is the same as this, right? Since they use the same GPU on consumer hardware.

Don't know why, but this title just made me realize that King Arthur and Robin Hood are both brands of flour.

Depending on what you're using it for. For companies it feels like the tide is shifting toward using k8s and not caring what actually runs your containers.

Surprised I don't see this one, but slave trade chocolate (which unfortunately is most chocolate).

There are some lists out there, but we try to avoid all chocolate unless we are sure it isn't harvested with slave labour, even partially.

I've worked with both s76 and framework's support and they've been great. Community support for framework is also especially good (for Linux)

Annoying thing about moonlight and sunshine is that you can't use your existing controller configs easily.

Can anyone recommend one? I honestly haven't played one since slay the spire, and loved it. My wife didn't enjoy the music after a few hundred hours so I stopped playing a few years ago.

I mean going from Unilever to CeraVe which is owned by Nestle might be a sideways move at best.

Drag a selection box around it, or use ctrl. Or right click.

I think your brain probably wanted to say "home remedy".

People said this about Linux before the steam deck and well, here we are.

My partner has always commented that she wanted basically a dashcam but for while walking the dog, so this seems to fit the bill.

To basically catch e.g. if a cyclist hits you or something.

If this can handle routing 10g this is a great choice to use as a router. It's actually quite difficult to find a gateway that's around this price and ISPs (at least here in Canada, or my part of Canada) are offering internet over 1Gbps at the same price as gigabit, but their routers are awful.

An opposing viewpoint here, from a couple of rice snobs -- I've spent 30+ years (my entire life) with a rice cooker so I've never questioned not owning one.

Ours broke (the gasket did, after 10 years), and the company that made it no longer exists (Sanyo), so we tried just cooking rice on the stovetop for a year before we bought a new one. It's now been 2 years without a rice cooker, and we don't plan on buying one of those fancy Korean ones I've been eyeing.

We found the rice tastes better (a bit of burning at the bottom adds flavour), and we don't need another appliance taking up space. The only thing I miss is the keep warm functionality, but now we just freeze the leftover rice and microwave it (or make fried rice with it).

And now we have more counter and cupboard space to buy other gadgets, as we're cooking enthusiasts.

For large amounts of rice we luckily have a pressure cooker.

I was really confused at first (new to this community), but they seem to be asking about a FOSS mobile keyboard for Android.

I use sunshine and moonlight. It's designed for games but works far better because of it, as in if it's good enough for games, the latency will be far better than other RDP protocols.

It doesn't do clipboard sharing though.

Even Intel has these. I think this patch set goes a bit further and takes into account the silicon lottery differences between cores (according to the patch series)

I'm using the patch set on my framework 7840u and didn't notice a difference though, though this is really YMMV.

If you're a tinkerer it's kind of addicting. I thought I'd give it a try just to see what it was like, and ended up staying up all night customizing it, and now about a month later I don't really want to go back to KDE (been using KDE for almost 20 years)

So I don't get it, I have my entire boot image in a signed EFI binary, the logo is in there as well. I don't think I'm susceptible to this, right? I don't think systemd-boot or the kernel reads an unsigned logo file anywhere. (Using secure boot)

What kind of edits are we talking? Firefox can add signatures and text now in its built-in pdf reader.

You didn't have to tweak PIPEWIRE_LATENCY or adjust the latency in guitarix? In my setup the latency isn't great out of the box.

That's.... Stored in the EFI partition or changeable in userspace?

I've used Linux for over two decades (red hat to Gentoo to Ubuntu to arch) and I must say it'll be a tough sell to get me back to an RPM or a debian based distro solely due to how god awfully slow the package managers (dpkg and rpm) are.

Since Docker came along and brought with it the ride of Alpine and APK, it made me realize that system upgrades on a modern processor, fast internet, and an SSD should take seconds, not minutes.

Or just pay Kagi. If you're not paying they're gonna have to get their money somewhere, and search is expensive.

I suppose if you really like tools, Makita counts as an entertainment franchise.

I updated my AMD framework BIOS using fwupd last weekend with no problem on arch.

This is a problem with a ton of electronics nowadays, and unfortunately the general solution is pretty low tech -- just tape over it or they sell specialized stickers for this too.

The steam deck won't pull past 3A anyway (all usb C cables are rated for 3A), so unless you're using a USB-A to C cable, you should be getting full speed, unless the cable is damaged.

A lot of people thought this was the case for VMs and docker as well, and now it seems to be the norm.

There are people reverse engineering the glasses right now (I have a pair):

https://github.com/wheaney/XRLinuxDriver

One of my longshot projects is to convert my framework laptop main board to exactly this. I basically use the glasses a lot more than the screen at this point (it's more convenient at night before bed)

I wonder if there's a federated solution for this, which means that you just need a techie friend who can self host this for you

Spreadsheet

Curious to hear what it's like making parts with a spreadsheet. Is it like coding?

I use openscad a lot, and just tried using spreadsheets -- adding parameters to each property in a part still seems really clunky, compared to editing a scad file in Emacs, which I vastly prefer, especially now that there's AI code autocomplete.

Hibernate is it's own challenge in Linux right now as lockdown mode doesn't work with hibernate (and I think a lot of distros use lockdown mode by default for security). I had to patch the kernel to enable this: https://gist.github.com/kelvie/917d456cb572325aae8e3bd94a9c1350

Only somewhat related, but I'm pretty sure that photo is from the law courts in Vancouver, Canada, and the spelling makes me suspect it's AI generated.

Wonder if there's enough interest on lemmy for a replacement for the esphome subreddit.

I think you're confusing a window manager with a tiling window manager.

Well, first lesson I just learned is that github.com apparently doesn't have an ipv6 address, so you'll need something like nat64:
