I was secretly hoping for a 'proper' earthquake when I was living in Japan. Obviously I didn't want anybody to get hurt or anything to get damaged, but I only ever got to feel a few ~M3 earthquakes which were just slight bump

People were freaking about the July megaquake prophecy and nothing happened. Trying to time it is silly, just chill and enjoy your stay, you'll probably be fine.

It doesn't matter, your options are either X11 or a Wayland-based compositor, both of them come with their respective headaches that a regular user has NO IDEA how to fix.

This post shows that she does, if she is unfortunate enough to own a device with NVIDIA graphics, because without this fix Wayland will be broken. Of course, this is only one example of probably hundreds where an average user would have no

Meanwhile Grandma says: "what's a wayland?" How can anybody seriously argue Linux is an OS ready for ordinary users when you have to do crap like this? Complete delusion.

Send the older generations then. Why should Gen Z be forced to pay the price of the previous governments' poor decision making? Namely, in Germany, nurturing a authoritarian regime by decimating green energy initiatives in favor of Rus

I had a VPN before but used it less. Now my devices are connected pretty much 24/7.

by cedws 11mo ago
Last I checked, many of the top free VPNs on the App Store were dodgy no-name ones that probably funnel traffic through Russia. Well done UK government you saved the children.

Maybe they count like storage manufacturers. 512 kilobytes instead of kibibytes :)

Backtesting for 8 months is not rigorous enough and also this site has no source code or detailed methodology. Not worth the click.

Android is a much more successful platform than the Linux desktop.

Nope, it still sucks. It's no good as an OS for general users. The average user has no idea what it even means to have an NVIDIA GPU, let alone be able to diagnose why their screen scaling is all fucked up or understand why they see st

I don't use Linux on laptops or desktops, only servers. I've been through all that pain. The userland has a long way to go to be a good OS everyone can use.

The best thing Valve could do is nuke Wayland/X11/Xwayland from orbit. Wayland is a mess that apps still don't support and doesn't work with NVIDIA GPUs. X11 is ancient and screen tears. Xwayland is the worst of both wor

I’m imagining that xkcd meme about internet infrastructure and one of the thin blocks holding the whole thing up being LE. Is there any good argument for short lifetimes? The only argument I know of is that short lifetimes are supposedly be

We need a new commercial OS. Surely there’s a way to monetise it without ads, spyware, and LLM garbage.

Yep, I had the high end "Developer Edition" a while back and it was a terrible experience. Very hot, build quality was poor, touchpad was small, speakers were terrible. I don't think I could use anything other than a MacBook

Advertisers will freak out about having their ads on a YouTube video with swear words in the first five minutes but will put their ads alongside an LLM that can be manipulated into telling you how to make a nerve agent? Seems like it was ne

I think the author is too hard on themselves for not knowing things, probably coming from shame. I can only speak for myself but learning to shrug that off just how to say "I don't know X" or "I forgot X" is very fr

Ah got it. I'll try again tomorrow, it's possible I was just being stupid.

I don't know much about Linux internals - how difficult would it be to reimplement KVM? I'm guessing a big undertaking.

Can it be made to be directly executable with a shebang line?

I don't necessarily disagree with these points (especially with Actions being an unstable POS) but it's not very encouraging to see such language from the lead of Zig. I would reconsider future donations to the Zig Foundation if I

Ah ok so this is more of a S&box SDK. I misinterpreted this announcement and thought they were basically just releasing S&box for people to fork.

by cedws 11mo ago
I've been following S&box for probably over 10 years at this point. It's been obvious for the last 5+ years that the vision isn't "Garry's Mod 2" anymore but maybe something else, like a Roblox-like metaver

The GOV.UK project is a rare success story for IT in the UK government. They need to take that team, give them big incentives to stay, and give them more projects. Why are we outsourcing to international companies that don’t give a shit whe

The episode with Zelensky exposed him as a complete idiot. I can maybe tolerate grifters but fuck the whole 'love and peace bro' act while implying Ukraine should make peace with invaders who have ruthlessly killed civilian men, w
