Hello, tone-policing genocide-defender and/or carnist 👋

Instead of being mad about words, maybe you should think about why the words bother you more than the injustice they describe.

Have a day!

  • They have a good DSP for sure, but those speakers on their own can get louder than any other laptop I've ever heard while maintaining pretty decent clarity (to my layperson ears). The DSP can help with the clarity and quality, but the actual loudness and hardware capabilities also seems better.

    Jump

  • Oh, also speakers. Apple puts decent speakers in their laptops. The FW 16 had worse sound than many phones that I've had.

  • asahi <3

    Jump

  • I use it because Apple is the only manufacturer that understands that laptops need great displays, keyboards, and trackpads. Most other laptop manufacturers fail in one or all of those categories. The new Framework 13 may be an exception to this, but as someone that bought the 16, that was hot garbage. So I gave it up for a Macbook.

    With Asahi, I have a rock-solid Linux experience on a laptop with good build quality.

  • Democrats mobilize an ‘unprecedented’ defense to combat potential election disruption

    Jump

  • Riots for just causes like racial equality and anti-fascism are good, actually ☺️

    But god damn, you must live in another reality if you somehow believe movements for justice are somehow the biggest disruption to elections and not the jackboot thumbs kidnapping people and sending them to concentration camps. I hope you snap out of it.

  • Linux containers the hard way - Marcel Dempers

    Jump

  • Your reading comprehension could use some work. Anyway, I'm sure just telling people that Nix is just JSON is gonna make Nix easier to learn. Good luck!

  • Linux containers the hard way - Marcel Dempers

    Jump

  • I attempted to learn two weeks ago. I know Rust, C, and Python. Nix documentation is getting better, but still nowhere near as good as most other langs. And the LSPs are genuinely useless.

  • Linux containers the hard way - Marcel Dempers

    Jump

  • Unfortunately Nix documentation is sparse, the LSPs are almost useless, and the learning curve is the steepest of any programming language I've ever tried.

    Nix is better if you can understand it, but very few people I work with do.

  • Bazzite's Biggest Update - Deck 44 has Launched & Happy 5th Birthday to Universal Blue!

    Jump

  • Partial HDMI 2.1 FRL support is huge (even if it's from upstream)! I finally have 12bit color on my home theater PC! Content looks amazing now 😍

    Unfortunately, it does flicker occasionally if VRR isn't enabled, but that's why it's behind a debug flag to begin with. I can't wait for Linux 7.3 to complete the implementation.

    Eat shit, HDMI Forum.

  • New Orleans will use AI to answer 911 calls instead of a human

    Jump

  • This will kill people.

  • Hugging Face scraps GitHub repositories without prior consent

    Jump

  • The datasets are stored in a git repository, so even when your opt-out request is "honored", the "deleted" data remains in the repository history.

  • Keychron announces first open-source firmware for gaming mice

    Jump

  • As if ploopy.co didn't exist 😞

    Still happy to see new open source firmware for mice being developed and implemented in new products. More options is always better.

  • The GNU Compiler Collection will reject copyright-significant contributions derived from LLM output, with limited exceptions for trivial changes and test cases.

    Jump

  • Yeah, LLM code is fundamentally incompatible with FOSS licensing because you fundamentally cannot vet the codebases that it was trained from. The fact that this is ignored in most other places speaks to how well the LLM propaganda and astroturfing has worked.

  • Huggingface have scraped the entirety of Github.

    Jump

  • Modern tech companies love using the rapsist's model of consent.

  • LG TVs and monitors said to surveil users and install bloatware without asking

    Jump

  • Linux definitely has HDR. I've been using Bazzite with Steam Big Picture mode as my TV interface for years and can use HDR just fine.

    I definitely recommend piracy, but there are also ways to get streaming services to send full quality streams. I won't recommend them though, because you shouldn't have to do it in the first place for a service you're paying for. Just pirate and use a media server or something like Kodi for a nice interface for local files.

  • Rewriting Bun in Rust

    Jump

  • This should definitely be required follow-up reading, as it puts many of the Bun article's "too good to be true" claims into context.

    The fact that the Bun author didn't know that Zig also has LTO really puts the rest of their claims into question.

  • Installing Steam on the PS5

    Jump

  • The performance PS5 on Linux is actually very good thanks to the better hardware and more stable graphics drivers. It's basically as performant as a comparably specced PC.

    However, the fact that rebooting the system means you have to rerun the jailbreak to boot back into Linux does make it impractical for anything other than a cool gaming toy. But if you already have a PS5 vulnerable to the required exploits, it's fun to do and it's nice to have access to your Steam library.

  • Fish Shell 4.8 Improves History Search, Scripting, and Completions

    Jump

  • Actually, /bin/sh is available on NixOS 🤓

    Yes, it's true that #!/usr/bin/env bash is a more reliable way to get bash, but you mentioned that you wanted a POSIX shell, not that you specifically needed bash, so #!/bin/sh will work on any system including NixOS.

    Also, export a=b does work in Fish. But you don't have to use it if you don't know how it works.

  • Fish Shell 4.8 Improves History Search, Scripting, and Completions

    Jump

  • Basically every non-Windows system comes with a POSIX-compliant shell at /bin/sh. If you're using shebangs in your POSIX shell scripts like you should, using Fish as your Friendly Interactive Shell shouldn't be a problem.

  • Google will make you wave at your computer to check you are real

    Jump

  • They also disable the "accessible" captchas on a whim when they feel like it, so this is also a lie.
