That's my point though, bandcamp is alienating the people that give it its place in the music business, and creating an opening for competitors. Saying bandcamp isn't complicated isn't the same as saying it's easy to rep

In my country (Belgium), mobile payments are a big thing using the national payment network (Bancontact). Lots of small shops don't accept cards and only do mobile payments because of the lower transaction fees. These mobile payments o

I was wondering why noone had started a bandcamp alternative as I read this article. Bandcamp isn't a complicated product. It's the people and content that define its value. If trust and goodwill are eroded, then the platform lose

Interesting, can I still use the Play Store with mircoG? I already run LineageOS, but with Play services. I would like to be able to ditch Play services, but still need the Play store for things like my banking app, and an app to log in to

I recommend against the Nexus 7. We used it for some 10 years, mostly with Lineage OS, as a video player for our kids. We had two, and both batteries are dead. No longer charging at all. Additionally, even before the batteries went, video p

I work at a fintech company as a software developer for 2+ years, and I've not needed any maths in my job really. I think it strongly depends on exactly what you end up developing.

More tooling, infrastructure management, high-availability, ... work. Rather than focusing on making the software do X, it makes software that already does X more resilient to failure.

Perhaps slightly off topic, but I'm not familiar with DuckDB. I don't really understand what it is for, and their site is doesn't really explain it well either. What is the advantage of using this instead of something well-pr

While Nebula has some creators om it that I follow, no platform comes close to having the broad collection of channels YouYube does. I follow a wide variety of channels, but there are maybe a dozen to 20 that I would consider essential. May

I've not had breaking changes in Linux for a long, long time. I generally use either a completely unmodified, default config Gnome, or Sway with my own config. I've used a couple of different desktop environments or window manager

No, I do not, at least not on macOS. Because the experience is so horrible, perhaps. I generally have one big window or two windows side-by-side on Linux though.

SIP is the default though. Turning it off is an option for some, for now. But Apple has clearly indicated they're moving towards a more restrictive ecosystem through there actions for a long time now.

I'm a software developer at a company where ~50% of the staff is a developer and our IT fleet management enforces SIP. This simply isn't an option for us because of security requirements from our customers.

I personally much, much prefer the UX on Linux. I may be suffering from some kind of Stockholm syndrome as a long time Linux user, but I have to use macOS for work and it absolutely doesn't work for me. I find the UX quirky and akward

Yes, quite a few Linux games still run on OpenGL, even recent ones[1]. Most support Vulkan as a backend as well, and this would be preferred once supported on MacOS, but that is still a work in early stages of progress. [1] One example is t

I largely agree. My goals have shifted from having an impact moving the technology world forward to not being frustrated and depressed from work and getting enjoyment and satisfaction from personal small projects with no deadlines. Since ha

This is nothing new though, this has been true since the rise of TV and things like top of the pops. Because guess what? People prefer pretty people. Once artists became visible, this was inevitable. The pretty people were going to become p

Publishing an implementation of a proposed web specification is how all web standards are created or evolve. The same thing happens with WebGPU, WASM, and many before them. Usually with a prefix (ms-, moz-, webkit-,...) and/or locked b

While I myself am partial to noisy vibration generators, it should be noted that vintage Porsches are the most common form of classic car EV conversions.

Same, it just works on my Debian powered home server with 5800H with just the Mesa ICD installed. Not that it really matters for me, I only run wgpu compute stuff over Vulkan for my experiments.

Some 8xx series are well supported, but mostly 835 and 845. QC does release better quality sources for mainlining AFAIK, but I haven't seen any efforts related to newer chips land.

When I last checked, the mainline kernel support for the 8cx was EXTREMELY limited. Having messed around with lots of ARM based devices on Linux in the past, I would not bother with this one. Especially given that rather unimpressive batter

I find that battery life extremely uninspiring. I wonder if that's because of Windows, JetBrains or a combination of both. I run a x86-64 laptop with Linux AND decicated graphics (Ryzen 6850u and Radeon 6800S) and get 6-10 hours of bat

This would never land in a factory image or upstream Android, but it has a reasonable chance to become part of projects like LineageOS, given enough user demand for it.
