yes, I agree, that's why I qualified it, because I don't think what users really want is freedom either, unless the lack of it happens to get in their way

if you release the artwork you generate, you aren't playing around in private either.

by asddubs 4y ago
I'm honestly not really sure that's true. People want safety, but I think when it comes right down to it, they want freedom (aka the thing they want to do to just work) even more

That's based on the assumption that Serenity will never get to the point where it is truly useful and able to be used as your primary operating system. And I can understand that assumption, but it's also never going to happen if n

the videos are all fairly self contained. usually limited to trying to fix a specific bug, or implement a specific feature. the livestreams are just q&a, focused on (but not exclusive to) technical questions. just pick something that so

I feel that what they meant was, why is this even possible to do

they used to have a yellow background, then a blue button with a white "advertisement" text in it, and it just got more and more subtle over the years. Now it's two characters of text

thinkpads having middle mouse buttons is pretty much the one reason i won't consider other laptops like the framework or a macbook with linux
731.
by asddubs 4y ago
I think I prefer Fn/Ctrl but just because I've basically only used thinkpads for the last decade or so, so I'm used to it

AFAIK debian recently voted to include proprietary drivers in their installer by default. Don't know all the details off hand though
733.
by asddubs 4y ago
last i checked, mint (unlike LMDE) just expects you to do major version upgrades by reinstalling, which is pretty annoying.

I personally hope AppImage wins over snap, it seems to be the best of its class, and isn't so centralized. It would still need to be paired with a package manager for updates, of course
735.
by asddubs 4y ago
they seem to have fixed that at least. I had the same problem with a computer I updated immediately, but not with one that I waited a bit on. Incidentally you can fix this by copying your .mozilla directory in the correct place in the snap

does arch still sometimes just break requiring manual intervention on updates? that's what turned me off last I used it, especially coming back to a machine you haven't used in a while trying to update it, but that must've be

give everything that is supposed to be js-only a class called js-only (or whatever) and then just do: <noscript><style>.js-only { display:none !important; }</style></noscript> this won't work on failed

I thought the point about being able to just put the rest of the system on the fpga was interesting. especially in light of his plans to potentially get an asic (which i also seriously doubt will happen for a niche product like this). I gue

I've only tried this with one .deb, but I've been running a 7ish year old version of a program I don't like the new version of, so far without problems. Originally a jessie package, now on ubuntu 22.04

by asddubs 4y ago
i can understand the argument for new code, but what do you want people to do, recode the entirety of the linux kernel in rust? the kernel is allowing rust for new drivers

seems like the non magic solution here would be block scope. I guess it would still be slightly magic in that each iteration gets its own scope, but at least that's easier to wrap your head around than just a special case

that only really works for responses to your comments and top level comment chains though.
746.
by asddubs 4y ago
it works if you want to read a thread exactly once and then never come back to it. if it's an ongoing discussion that you want to visit even just two times, you'll just end up reading all the same comments again and struggle to fi

my personal guess is probably, although andreas always insists that there is no plan in response to these sort of questions, so don't expect official confirmation or a timeline

just to clarify potential misunderstandings: this is for opengl compatibility using CPU rendering. although obviously having this sort of thing will be useful for transitioning to gpu support independently of having drivers written

if a laptop screen gets damaged in the woods, and no one can tell the difference, is it even damaged?
