Unfortunately science is unavoidably a political hot topic. Climate change denialism is the norm in the United States, we've somehow decided Tylenol causes autism in the past week, etc.

Google does not want to show them flight information, it wants to make money. They happen to be showing flight information right now. Their interests do not align with yours. The DMA ensures a healthy competitive market which keeps enshitt

Steam runs all games in a container called the Steam Linux Runtime, so the only difference is the kernel and host Mesa drivers.

>Bluefin is, fundamentally, a container image that you run with your preferred container runtime (Docker, Podman, whatever). Nope, you don't execute it like a container. Although it is an OCI-compatible container image and can be bu

Speaking from personal experience I went from a BMI of 24 (healthy) to a BMI of 31 (obese) because of daily cannabis use that gave me insane munchies. This may be genetic, I had friends that didn't get them nearly as badly as I did. (I

But the Mac compositor (Quartz) implements the same permission model as Wayland, that's why you get a popup requesting permissions to share screen etc.

HN and r/linux have had this same argument countless times. Wayland was developed by the people behind Xorg because X11 was designed to send output from a minicomputer to a terminal. It is way too complex and fragile for modern use cas

I switched to Fedora Kinoite about two years ago and it's been a great experience. Updates are mostly invisible to me, I only layer a handful of packages (zsh, fzf, distrobox) and I do development inside of distrobox containers so I do

Since the Pentium Pro the hardware hasn't implemented the ISA, it's converted into micro ops.

Good question, but that isn't incentivized by capital. We're in an era of massive student loans and unaffordable housing. Unless there's a clear and direct incentive to learn, people will take the easiest path. Life is tough

The multiplayer isn't actually used that much, since it doesn't support console players/cross-play which is expected these days. Many games will use Azure PlayFab or Epic Online Services. EOS is free and doesn't require

I've been using Zen for a few months after I lost faith in Arc/The Browser Company. I like the workflow of swiping between profiles, vertical tabs and pinned favorites. I haven't been able to find a browser that works just li

Basically, PS5 sales recently reached 80 million. Xbox Series X/S is estimated about 30 million. They lost the generation where digital libraries were built and can't gain the market back. There's been a lot of rumor lately t

Wayland is the mass adoption stage, I've been running it for years. Since its a protocol it does depend on what compositor you use. KDE Plasma and GNOME are very mature, GNOME was a little funkier with fractional scaling last I tried.

Hallucinations are a nightmare. I asked Gemini to identify an actor, it insisted on the wrong actor. I told it it was incorrect, it said that I was incorrect, people wear makeup in Hollywood, and it analyzed a clip frame-by-frame just to be

Because shipping the runtime with the software means you can get newer software on older distributions. It's also great for immutable/atomic systems where installing packages at the system level is an anti pattern.

> Is it for future proofing it in case MS wants to release the game in a different platform that is not windows ? Strongly rumored to be releasing on PS5, like most recent Microsoft games.

I really don't understand why it wasn't just a requirement for Apple and Google to include a client side filter. Parent sets up the phone and it's enabled by default. Much simpler option for everyone involved.

I think it's also the immutable nature of EndlessOS, its not something you can break as easily as a regular Linux distribution, and acts much more like ChromeOS.

Thanks for your work by the way, I'm a happy uBlue (Bazzite) user. I think my main concern is something like a known OSTree design issue around UID/GID drift, there was a bug that was partly fixed in 2023 but the issue comes from

The author's point is to use an immutable or atomic system. Debian uses a traditional package manager and over time those packages can get in a weird state. Battery runs out during package update? Third party repo disappears? GPG key c

I don't think there's an X11 HDR standard, one would need to be created and implemented.

Why would the kernel not run 32-bit binaries? They're talking about removing libraries only, not removing 32-bit support from the kernel.

You don't need a VM, just a container. Steam runs all games in containers anyway: https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steam-runtime-tools/-/b...

Musk needs to keep hyping the next big thing to justify the insane valuation. So it was going to launch regardless of how ready or safe it was. Still seems nuts to me, they're pretending Waymo doesn't already regularly drive witho

That store is dangerous. The last few times I went "just to browse" but I came home with an ultra wide monitor and a new PC build. I've started buying parts retail instead of online just because of how much I enjoy Microcente
