This sounds like FUD, do you have any references? Genuinely asking. I follow LWN reporting religiously, which in turn follows Fedora development (and associated drama) closely, and haven't seen anything said in this direction. Just had

Other things: since no companies sponsoring its development had any interest in raid 5/6, which is mostly a home enthusiast thing. Western Digital picked up this work last year and is slowly getting through the new design without the w

What was meant is probably opencode. It's free there, along with several other models. You have to use their harness to access it. It's alright. https://opencode.ai/docs/zen/#pricing

I've been using .NET almost exclusively on Linux since it was called .NET Core 2.0, and development platforms other than Windows do feel like second class citizens. Any time you venture into anything remotely advanced, the tooling is u

Depends on your location. While I have a decent internet connection at home, the mobile one is trash. Good for IM and not much else. Most of the people I know only have the mobile connection, pay a lot for the privilege, and while speeds ar

On Android, Vivaldi supports dark more out of the box. It's actually just a toggle for the dark mode present on any chromium-based browser, and you can enable it globally in any of them in chrome://flags/#enable-force-da

I know the editors visit these discussions: please, next time use a more descriptive title! I nearly had a fit when I saw that, really thought LWN is going down like it almost did 20 years ago. Happy to pay the new price, even though I can

They're one of the few remaining air photography providers for OpenStreetMap editors with worldwide coverage (much of it high quality and regularly updated), so they have their uses.

LWN tends to be the best bet for these things, but you have to follow their reporting long term, or at least look for specific things you're interested in. https://lwn.net/Articles/1081557/ https:/&#x2F

The author explains it well in the last few paragraphs if you don't want to bother with the rest. The point isn't in the "funny" apps at all.

It's a verb, "to rice" means to deeply customize your system to suite your needs and/or preferences. Install a desktop environment, setup it however you like it, add panels with system information, etc etc. The more h4xx

Not sure imagemagick supports lossless transcoding. This old discussion from 2021 mentions that it didn't (in 2021): https://github.com/dlemstra/Magick.NET/discussions/872 cjxl / djxl do lossless tr

avif also supports lossless, but it's so inefficient it might as well not exist. Lossless webp is a completely different image format compared to lossy webp, even though they come under the same file extension. Unlike lossy webp, it&#x

Depends on where you live, it's a decent chunk of income for every developer I know, and a significant one for those less experienced. If you have other priorities (family, mortgage, so not a hermit like myself), you won't be able

It's been cheap again on openrouter for the past few days. No idea how long it will last, but I've been using it from Baidu over the weekend, and it was about half the cost of the old DS prices, before the increase. Looks like p

Sure. I can live for a day on those five bucks. You wouldn't believe what people in low income countries go through to save a bit of money: I've seen people I know (but couldn't stop in time) send copies of their ID to some s

They used to give 5-10 bucks of credit to new users a few years ago. Real credits, I very carefully compared prices from different IPs. So I would register a new account for each order -- 10 USD is quite a lot of money in my country -- and

I don't care about either X, but that guy's name is in this release, and judging purely by the number of commits (since I lack X expertise to judge any other way), he seems to be the top contributor. Looks like there's no way
