Steam says hi: https://store.steampowered.com/hardware/ Though one could argue that Linux GPU support is as good as it is because of Steam.

Depends on how much one trusts whoever's running fraser.name. Is it more or less than Verisign?

Based. If an employer wants me to install something, I'll ask them for a phone to install it on.

Earlier this year, I went to a concert that required the Ticketmaster app. I searched desperately for an option to print off a paper ticket, but didn't find one. I enabled the Google Play features in GrapheneOS to install it, and I hat

I was thinking this. Zstd is widely supported in browsers, over 80% right now and will increase over time: https://caniuse.com/?search=zstd

I guess it would take a PhD in AI to run enough agents to cram 20 years of work into one week. The token cost must be brutal though.

Looks like I might start using Aptoide again. I was using it back when I was running de-Googled LineageOS. What's the consensus on it vs. Play Store or F-droid? https://en.aptoide.com/

If we had that, many people would yearn for a cambrian explosion of diverse software running in unique niches trying out different ideas.

Are you trying to say that's bad writing? I think it's a good metaphor for a documented phenomenon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_collapse

No. I keep my browser to about half of my 27" 4k monitor.

Bug: this blog has no max-width. Lines of text will grow infinitely long with width.

Here I was thinking it will be somewhere between next-generation Nvidia chips, and inability to get ROI before the end of relatively quick GPU depreciation schedules.

I work in the refurb department of an e-waste recycling company. I put Linux Mint on most of the PCs I list for sale, and I've never had anyone complain. I haven't tried Fedora in like 20 years, but I remember odd things being bro

Someone has to be buying mainframes. Otherwise, there's no point in continuing to develop them. Shareholders would revolt.

I've been using KeepassDX for years, and I've been completely satisfied with it.

The pricing of GPUs themselves aren't really the problem: it's the VRAM that comes with them.

Congrats on Firefox for planning to ship JPEGXL, but AVIF currently works better for my needs (non-archival web quality).

No. AMD was taking 3200+ chips and binning/selling them as 2500+ chips. All it took was increasing the FSB speed in the BIOS, and a bit of luck from the silicon lottery. No hardware mods.

The first time I built a PC, and the first time I mounted a heatsink, was to one of these bare die AMD CPUs. I heard about the fragility of these, and must have read the directions about ten times, and paused and checked each step about fiv

Ah, don't edit the HTML manually. Name your images brain-dead predictably, and use a script with some regex. My blog has some code that searches for <img> tags just after markdown conversion, then uses the src to find similarly n

I find using <picture> with <source> and <img> is more flexible, particularly with multiple image formats (AVIF and JPG in my case).

Not having fuzzy filtering could be OK if you could filter the datalist and force it to display anyway. (There is no way to force it to display.) I gave up and used <ul> or <ol> instead.

> Each MMX register is 64 bits wide. Internally, the MMX registers were aliases of the x87 floating-point registers. Due to the way the first Pentium 3 CPUs (Katmai) were built, they likewise aliased the x87 (and thus, MMX) registers to

Take a look at the micro-architecture levels. x86-64-v1 contains all the instructions that the original AMD64 and compatible Intel CPUs supported. v2 is all the SSE levels, v3 is AVX and AVX2, v4 is AVX-512. https://en.wikipedia.
