We've been trying to push FOSS software into peoples lives for many decades now and they still mostly opt for stuff from the big tech. It is very likely that the same will happen again with AI unfortunately.

Thin overhead super low contrast scrollbars that keep disappearing and have a hitbox even smaller than the visual part. I hate how this thing seems to have infected every single software. I've been using computers since I was 10 years

I remember going trough a similar situation when using a netbook. At first they were ok for doing light work and even accessing websites, but as time went on websites and browsers became more and more heavy. Youtube was a struggle, even Goo

Someone else in the comments has suggested that maybe an entity or someone in a country like France where copyright laws are less strict might be able to write and maintain the patch without fear of persecution, but as you said, those guys

What if _someone_ makes an unofficial patch with HDMI 2.1 support? You could at least compile your own damn kernel with the damn thing supported.

And back in win98 and maybe xp days WinRar was a great way to escape file system access restriction imposed by the admin, you could use its internal browser to do access just about anything on the machine, even tough explorer and many other

I'm kind of in the same boat. I used to be an ardent lover of KDE 3 and KDE 3 MOD. Ever since KDE 4 released my interest diminished and once gnome 3/gnome shell became stable at version ~3.2 I switched to it. It was a love and hat

I was just citing it as an example, I wouldn't advocate for such thing nor do I know really how common this happens.

Case in point, if I was running Apple hardware from 2011~2014 I would be out of support for quite a few years already with massively outdated hardware, Apple puts their customers on a MUCH faster treadmill to keep upgrading often. But inste

I think by this point Linux desktop has matured enough that you can say with certain that the biggest problems is application availability. Users want to run Adobe's creative suite or Affinity software (because they have to, even tough

It's a fantastic game to play co-operatively but also competitively with a couple of your friends. Finding silly ways to sabotage your friends and see the reactions is quite fun. And then once you get tired of that or figure out a truc

Oh great, one more ink cartridge for printer manufactures to sell. And, of course, the printer will refuse to work if your hydrophobic coating cartridges is empty even tough all other cartridges are fine.

Wouldn't just about any available headset that costs 10x to 20x less suffice for this?

Even if bringing down Apple's walled garden ends up strengthening chrome, don't you think we should be trying to solve this problem at the source? Maybe the solution is to break up google (usually a messy affair), or maybe we shou

Well, if you have a desktop/notebook with any kind of wi-fi chip you also cant override the protocol as not to mess with the spectrum, but you still get free reign over the rest of the machine. All that to say that if things are proper

I'm just glad AMD seems to have sorted most of the issues with RDNA3 on linux. It's now worth it to consider the 7800 XT as a good upgrade path, if the price is right. Wendell from level1techs/level1linux has shown the 7600XT

Here are my 2 cents, I think we will need some laws specifying two types of AI models, ones trained with full consent (opt-in) for its training material and ones without. The first one would be like Adobe's firefly model where they all

I really appreciate this work, thanks to it I was able to recover all my levels I had made for mm2 before I sold my switch years ago. I didn't have any level codes, all I had was a screenshot with one of the level names, so I had to fi

Too much HDD noise was also a really good indication that your computer ran out of memory and stuff is being moved into swap. I remember some occasions where I would alt-tab from a game in Windows 98 and my computer would freeze for half a
