This is it. It doesn't replace the higher level knowledge part very well. I asked Claude to fix a pet peeve of mine, spawning a second process inside an existing Wine session (pretty hard if you use umu, since it runs in a user namespa

Calibri always has a cheap look to it when I see it, just because I'll assume someone didn't change their default font. I think I felt the same about TNR when it was the default too, but Calibri has quite a bit more character that

This is cool, but also broken. If you click "raw" after pressing y without reloading, the link is still to a tag/branch.

That's the 30% vibe code they promised us. Cynicism aside, something seems to be going wrong in our industry.

MinIO the corporation is not the sole licencor of MinIO the source code. They could sue and probably enforce compliance, but they can't just revoke the license like it is an overly restrictive commercial EULA.

AI being a useful component in our futures (depending on how much as a society we'll shun slop) and the current scale of AI investment being a line-go-up bubble are complementary, not exclusive. It really is just dotcom all over again.

Hynix also started selling consumer SSDs with "SK Hynix" branding like 2-3 years ago. I guess we'll see how long that lasts.

Seeing the decline of GitHub in Actions is technically correct, but Actions was always broken. We tried getting self-hosted runners to work super early before there was a proper ephemeral mode (just an officially unsupported race-condition-

The worst thing about League was that Riot added it retroactively after years of effort to patch Wine to work with League's weird quirky code. It was the only game that I always remember having a custom Wine build in Lutris even as far

Or you could miss out on like... 5 games. Competitive games on a controller would be a much larger trade off than dual booting to me.

Cheating creates two problems. Obvious cheats aiming to upset other players and subtle cheats that don't want to be noticed as such. Now, I'm not saying it doesn't matter if people cheat as long as nobody notices or that comp

I don't doubt it, but I actually really hate that the build system is a bunch of bash scripts, github actions and assuming the previous stage builds fine. Especially when the custom image forkable repo has an action commented out to sq

RMS famously had no problem with dual licensing. The definition should. None of the GPL licenses protect from bad stewardship focused on maintaining commercial viability of some product either.

To a degree. But the corporate interest is spread across enough organisations that it's much harder for the Linux kernel to reject a patch solely because it's good for business, whereas a lot of corporate open source projects - ev

There's really no need. I was looking for an Android app for a particular purpose, and Claude just regurgitated the app's marketing page, including the claim about Play Store ratings (which was wrong or very outdated). Getting int

The Winlator-releated ecosystem already works pretty well, there just isn't a good frontend or integration for it yet. That's what is really exciting here. Gamehub is a proprietary app by a Chinese controller manufacturer with som
