  • Valve’s Steam Machine Gives Linux Gaming a New Living-Room Push

  • This reminds me of the early PS3 days where some universities would buy loads of consoles, because the Cell processor was a great bang for its buck (thanks to Sony subsidising them) and they’d just jailbreak them and put them in data centres.

  • Narrator: Rust has indeed already proven a very valid alternative.

  • Heh, the name wasn’t chosen to reach a huge audience anyway. If I get too many users, I might lose my zen over trying to support them 😂

    But I’m happy to have a few folks along who don’t mind building their IDE from source.

  • Thanks!

    As for the motivation of the fork, basically two reasons:

    • Even though you can disable AI features and configure the layout, the teasers and some UI elements remain as they try to draw you in.
    • I want to use their UI framework and editor for a different project too, so I want to be able to start that from a trimmed down base anyway.

  • Hehe, I suppose it might to some extent 😅 But well, I don't wish to control how others do their coding, and it would be silly to ignore other's code altogether because they used a different method than the one I prefer.

  • Yeah, if you don't mind the UI clutter/teasers, it doesn't make much of a difference. For now, the most noticeable difference is that the default layout is more old-school, with the project layout and the git panel on the left-hand side again, though even without this fork you can configure it to be like that too.

  • Nothing wrong with them! But since I want to build another tool on top of it (for fiction/novel outlining and writing) I figured this was a good exercise to become familiar with the codebase. And since I still do some Rust development, having control over both my IDE and my writing software seemed an added benefit :)

  • I'll aim to sync changes from upstream about once a month. But given that I don't have prebuilt binaries or anything, for now I expect only people enthusiastic enough to build from source to use it :)

  • Working outside

    Jump

  • You must be someone who hates working from home, because home is the place where we should all feel relaxed, right? What about working in the garden? The garden is certainly a relaxation spot, but god forbid you get some rays of sunshine while you work.

    I understand the desire to pity people who work at the beach. But then again, I pity anyone who ended up living near Silicon Valley. Think of all the money though!

  • might be a form of Jevons Paradox

  • Have you tried disabling the file indexing service? I think it’s called Baloo?

    Usually it doesn’t have too much overhead, but in combination with certain workflows it could be a bottleneck.

  • So many successes

    Jump

  • I think it’s good for people to have children. At least one and preferably no more than two.

    If we contain population growth, the riches already created are for the taking for generations to come and the planet finally gets a rest.

    It does require a reckoning with the capitalist elite that would like to produce anyway, but I feel that may be coming regardless of our feelings towards children.

  • Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it

    Jump

  • Your comment is fair. I try to follow my own philosophy, so I picked a side and stand for it. I feel strongly about it, so that’s why I may use hyperbole at times.

    Yet I understand it’s not everybody’s opinion, so I try to respect those people even when I don’t necessarily respect their positions. It’s a tough line to draw sometimes.

  • So I’m the literal author of the Philosophy of Balance, and I don’t see any reason why LLMs are deserving of a balanced take.

    This is how the Philosophy of Balance works: We should strive…

    • for balance within ourselves
    • for balance with those around us
    • and ultimately, for balance with Life and the Universe at large

    But here’s the thing: LLMs and the technocratic elite funding them are a net negative to humanity and the world at large. Therefore, to strive for a balanced approach towards AI puts you on the wrong side of the battle for humanity, and therefore human history.

    Pick a side.

  • As someone who dealt with psychosis in the past (diagnosed bipolar), I’ll happily say that psychosis is not a valid excuse to push bullshit onto others.

    If you need others to point you to specifics, you need to rethink your life choices and stop using LLMs.

  • That’s why you should go work at big corporate enterprises. Then you have both job security as well as the ability to spend as much time as necessary on getting things right. And you might even learn to say no to middle management.
