Why would a server use a different init system than a desktop or embedded device? Why wouldn't you want unit files instead of much larger init shell scripts which duplicate logic across every service? It also enabled a ton of event dri

They don't care about their users, they trapped people in and people aren't migrating to alternatives in droves.

Yes, if Epic sold an Epic computer which had > 50% marketshare and and you could only purchase products from their store. The only other category you can really compare this to is game consoles, but the hardware is sold at a much smaller

Monkey Selfie case, setting the stage for an automated process is not enough to declare copyright over a work.

So they don't own the copyright to most of their code? What's the value then?

I went with CDK, I'm locked into AWS already and it means my major dependency for IaC is my cloud vendor and not a third party. If I really need to migrate off of AWS at some point I'll throw an LLM at it.

ARM cancelled their architecture license and sued them, Qualcomm won, but with a threat like that to your core business it's best to have an escape hatch. They'll need to license future versions of the ARM ISA and now they know th

Godot's C# is fairly recent, C#12/.NET 8.

by tapoxi 11mo ago
GDScript in Godot doesn't use GC, it uses reference counting and doesn't "stop the world". Other languages that bind into the engine do this too, (C++, SwiftGodot, Rust-Godot) C# obviously does, Miguel de Icaza actually

This isn't Linux, it's Arch running Hyprland. If Grandma wants that combination she knows what Wayland is. If you want Linux that works, get a Chromebook. If you want to play games, use Bazzite.

This isn't in a vacuum though, it's after someone else failed and they took the learnings from that and put it into the prompt.

I'd just go AMD. The drivers there are much more mature due to Google and Valve contributions, and the performance of an 9070 XT is great while being cheaper than the equivalent 5070 Ti. FSR4 is a solid competitor to DLSS and works in

We switched to Redpanda's BYOC product because we couldn't use Confluent Cloud (contractual reasons) and BYOC was a third the price of Confluent for Kubernetes while also being a managed service. I've been pretty happy with R

Sony never used the names "Slim" or "Super Slim" because the product was the same and ran the same software.

It's what, $2.40? I don't think they need to make it fare free.

It's telling that Valve uses a user space anti-cheat (VAC) for Counter-Strike 2, but the competitive community overwhelmingly rejects that and ops to use a third-party Windows-only kernel mode anti-cheat (FACEIT).

But there's no moat around these models, they're all interchangeable and leapfrogging each other at a decent pace. Gemini could get much better tomorrow and their entire customer base could switch without issue.

Its really hard to measure these things. Personally I switched to Gemini a few months ago since it was half the cost of ChatGPT (Verizon has a $10/month Google AI package). I feel like I've subconsciously learned to prompt it slig

Why can't the menu entry be created alongside the flags? Surely if it's too complicated, then creating a plugin would also be too complicated for someone who doesn't work at Mozilla and doesn't know the codebase?

Wayland is nothing but community involvement, arguably to its detriment, because it is implemented independently by community projects. There is no "Wayland" that can stop being developed. It is a protocol and a consensus, nothing

My point exactly, main is SteamOS's alpha state before its frozen into 3.8 beta, and its still months behind Bazzite.

VKD3D-Proton gained FSR4 support and will ship in a future release of Proton, but RDNA4 requires a newer kernel. SteamOS release notes are public at https://www.steamdeck.com/en/news , it still uses a 6.11 kernel from S

It's snapshotted from Arch, once a year they bump the kernel and include "updated Arch Linux base" as a release note. SteamOS 3.7 is still on Kernel 6.11 and KDE Plasma 6.2, for example. Bazzite is 6.17 and Plasma 6.5. This m

I'm not convinced there will be a GA SteamOS. Bazzite also has a much more frequent release cadence which is important for the kernel and Mesa. SteamOS only ships a major version every year.

That's a party trick unless it can drive me while I'm taking a nap in the backseat. If I still need to be paying full attention to potentially intervene at any time, what's the point?
