Reasons are usually just newest kernel/mesa/etc. Most of the time the difference is very small, and often inconsequential. However, every now and again there is a major development that might make it worth it (IE: The graphics pipeline that all but made dxvk-async obsolete)

The Jetbrains suite of IDE's. Particularly Jetbrains Rider. The platform ~~they are all ~~ many of them are built on is open source though, and you can get free licenses for all of their products if you are using them to develop open source software!

If you need to remember something for the next time you go out, put your shoes somewhere odd. When you go to leave, you'll remember you moved them, which will remind you why you moved them.

They are for sure talking about the ARM servers from Oracle. You get 24gb of memory and 4 cpu cores that you can carve into virtual machines.

Issue is that the free stock is very limited, and there have been some claims of people having their free service resources reclaimed by Oracle.

Still, if you can get one, it is probably the best you can get for free.

Hate to break it to you, but Battleye already has proton support. Devs need to enable it. Ubisoft knows this and has done nothing.

If I have to have a prime subscription to get the game, it's not free IMO

Otherwise a great idea!

True, but he mentions .NET development is Windows first, and even mentions that you have "some IDE's that work with it, like Rider". He kind of said it without mentioning the specific IDE.

Rider is the real MVP anyways.

Honestly, I enjoy the humorous colour names.

MySQL (and by extension, MariaDB) has an even better option:

mysql --i-am-a-dummy

No need to split tunnel. Mullvad has options in the app to allow local networking. Just have to enable it.

even shamed one user in my team to switch from Windows to Mac …

It's so strange that Windows users don't see how welcoming our communities are.

Lemmy was created because of reddit fucking BS

Lol, no.

It looks pretty well cited to me. The fact that it was written anonymously doesn't really take away from that.

Few thoughts:

  1. What is being made? Can't really care about it without having some idea
  2. What makes this company's version of it worth our interest?
  3. How is it better than the FOSS solutions that in this day and age almost definitely already exist
  4. Why are we to put our faith in this group for pay once software when their two major products are SaaS?

I can't find the video, but I remember someone at Ableton said they pretty much had the same view of Live piracy. If someone pirates it, they weren't willing to spend the money on it, but perhaps they will be willing to in the future.

I just installed 11 recently. There isn't a skip button anymore. I had to enter fake sign in details for it to give me the "offline" option.

So it seems like their point may still stand.

Thanks! Not quite as wild as I was expecting (kind of surprised this was enough to push them to delete their account)

I disagree that it being a monolith is immediately a problem, but also

In fact you scale a monolith the same way you scale micro services.

This is just not true. With microservices, it is easy to scale out individual services to multiple instances as demand requires them. Hosting a fleet of entire Lemmy instances is far more expensive than just small slices of it that may require the additional processing power.

Cyberpunk had some really strong characters/acting/writing. I'm finding it hard to get excited by other games lately because they just don't measure up the same.

What makes Debian a pain to use on servers?

How do you mean? Like, how is this different than someone saying "I don't get the point of Linux"?

I’ve previously been against trying Arch due to instability issues such as the recent GRUB thing.

But you used Manjaro? 😂

Go for it. If you use archinstall, it is incredibly simple to get up and running. The difficulty around Arch is quite overblown except perhaps when talking about people brand new to Linux. Even without archinstall, you are just following a guide in the wiki.

Do you have any sources for this?

is there not?

Should probably figure that out (and perhaps share it) before making the claim, no?

It seems they already know how the community feels 🤣

I'm going to have to disagree. I just remoted in to check it out. I have 2560x1440 resolution images weighing 2.9 MiB in there. It's pretty clear that these are full size images.

FYI: Flatpaks can share some dependencies and duplicate files.

Most people want stability (low change) for servers. Arch is typically run where plentiful software updates are welcome. It's not that you can't/shouldn't use Arch for servers, but it isn't the most conventional suggestion.

I really appreciate Open Source Alternative To for this (although their theme seems a little broken atm).

If you are worried about VPN's, why are you not worried about seedbox providers?

The GitHub says they plan on adding other fediverse connections in the future.

Won't speak to Webstorm, but hard disagree when it comes to Rider. VSCode/Zed really fit into an entirely different category from Jetbrains IDE's. Lightweight editors vs full fat development environments. There are use cases for each.

Wow, that is surprisingly not bad given the size of the instance!

Been playing through Stardew. The wiki is a godsend

As someone hosting their own instance, I'm actually super interested to see how it all plays out.

You can say that speaks volumes about the character of the author (though you are the one assigning said "shame"). You were asking why this report deserves credence. The points raised in the report have citations such that you can decide where you fall on the presented issues.

The underlying intelliJ platform is, not the entire IDE. I did edit the post though, as I realized not all of them are built on that platform.

If you are working on open source, you can still grab free licenses. You just have to renew them each year (completely free, just requires proof of FOSS contribution)

I believe this all boiled down to issues with ownership (SquareEnix / Nintendo). Seems they've worked something out, though!

Surely they can't survive after this, right? Like, people can't be okay with this.

That was a rephrasing of the statement, not an answer to the question. He's asking why it matters. What is the "good measure"?
