I really wanted to read this, it seems like a really interested subject. I can even forgive the AI generated images. But after a few paragraphs it became clear this was either fed through an LLM or worse. Please, if you write a technical bl

Phone hardware is a hellscape it doesn’t surprise me at all that they need to keep the number of supported devices small in order to deliver a decent product.

Good point however netcat wasn’t available either.

If you are still using ISDN you could maintain a fork. This is one of the main examples of drivers that were removed.

Still working on my native navidrome/jellyfin client for Linux. Uses Rust and GTK. https://github.com/Fingel/gelly Also built out a .fits parser that uses rayon to decompress in parallel making it about 5x faster

More free PR for anthropic. “Our models are so powerful the govt shut them down”. Insert image of Dario looking like his dog just died. So tired of the nonsense.

From what I understand gstreamer is more about building complex pipelines and plugins, ffmpeg is better at playing some obscure 20 year old video format extremely efficiently so you can watch it compiled for a potato. Different cases really

And just like that, it was forked by Microsoft a few days ago. Handed to them on a silver platter.

So you really couldn't figure out what "Super key" meant, even with context? I feel like you are being hyperbolic. This isn't magical hidden Linux knowledge. Honestly, if not being able to find what applications you have

Pretending like the person I'm responding to isn't being willfully ignorant isn't helping. It's pretty simple to guess what "super key" means just from context, if not, it's a very quick (in the op's

Oh please. The super key is the windows key. You come across as someone who has never used a computer before.

Such as? The only proprietary software I have running on my machine is electron apps, which are essentially bloated VMs. As we’ve seen from this thread, this is still apparently too great of an engineering feat for anthropic to tackle. I do

According to the latest SO dev survey Ubuntu has 28% market share among developers. Considering coding seems to be the one place LLMs have found product market fit, I’m not sure how you can make the argument that the market share is too sma

A lot of us are happy gnome doesn’t support tray icons. We are sick of devs thinking their app is so important it needs a visual presence at all times. If I need your app I’ll bring it to the foreground, we have the technology. Global short

Did you hire a Linux release engineer? Or was the situation the typical team of devs maining macOS that have never heard the term “Wayland” before plus That One Guy who switched to Ubuntu last year and advocated for it? There are companies

Anything that isn’t very simple? Like a llm chat interface? If zoom and Microsoft Teams of all people can do it, anthropic should be able to. Have you considered that maybe their code is just bad?

This isn’t an issue in practice because the software running on Linux is open source. Yes if you want to distribute proprietary binary blobs and have them work forever it’s going to be a challenge, but in that case better to stick with the

Do people not realize that this just instantly torpedoes credibility and respect? I'm dumbfounded.

OK, but what about actually using a GUI toolkit to make an actual application? You can optimize a library to make it comparatively simple to draw a circle on a screen. But that tells me nothing about binding state, signals, styling, widget

This is great, we need more of this. It's high time we began to escape the dark ages of rule-by-Electron. See Bitwarden's recent fumble of a redesign.

dav1d is the av1 decoder and it’s an insane feat of engineering. Written in assembly, it even eschews the normal c calling convention to get even better performance.

What's the deal with the name? Openrsync implies to me that it's an open source alternative to a closed source program. But the original Rsync is GPL? Is this just the pushover license making it "more open"?

What I really don't understand is where the next generation of training material will come from. If websites stop being published and/or crawled, how will the machine continue to be fed.
