I love Plasma, was using it for years until the jankiness got to me. Used low latency patch for a while. Chrome for example can't run past 60fps in kwin. I really think the future is more smaller desktop environments like LabWC etc. De

It started with the absolute astonishing amount of data that VS Code sends back to Microsoft, now it's pretty standard. If you really want to see what your devices send back, monitor DNS on your devices. I installed a bunch of apps on

This looks great. I really think a good use case for the current generation would be to be able to extend it with your own data. Having internal users ask questions then have a ChatGPTesque system answer with injected data would be nice. Wo

This is fantastic! Thanks for the share. Reminds me of lostfiles for Arch. https://man.archlinux.org/man/community/lostfiles/lostfiles.... Was thinking this would be a useful tool, same as a tool that would s

Oh yeah, around that time when I was finally getting paid my first paycheck was spent on upgrading my CPU. Such a great time for performance gains. I feel like we have it again now with the race between AMD/Intel, I really hope this ge

It had some decent developers and ecosystem around it a few years ago, but honestly a lot of bureaucracy and drama killed a lot of the enthusiasm in the project and contributed modules for many.

So them just banning the customers service with no explanation until they raise a stink here is okay?

The one out of the box with IntelliJ is pretty decent for checking YAMLs with JSON Schemas, is there something you're missing?

What kind of questions are you trying to answer? What's the area for the long computations you're doing? Just curious :)

Poetry installs from a lockfike, which is different for every environment. So it takes. While to resolve... Cargo says "here is the package I need, at this version, go grab it", so it's quick.

These would be awesome for build servers, and testing. I really like Graviton from AWS, and Apple Silicon is great, I really hope we move towards ARM64 more. ArchLinux has https://archlinuxarm.org , I would love to use these to

I recently wanted to build Python wheels for a whole bunch of Python versions and packages on Mac ARM64. I ended up using OSX-KVM, and then using cibuildwheel to crossbuild to arm64. Pretty dang easy. I set up OSX-KVM ( https://gi

That being said, and I agree with all points you raised, the Australian Gov has been fantastic over the last few years of focusing on open data, to give credit where it's due. https://data.gov.au/search Their datasets

The best opensource projects that you'll stay interested in the medium-long term are projects you actively use. Anything else you'll get bored of.

And how do they see themselves getting money back? Is there a plan for paid subscriptions or something in the future? Not trying to be snarky or anything -- generally curious! I love the project.

asdf was the closest to this, but the startup time is pretty bad (there is a 300ms+ delay) for apps. It is a giant hack but works well. But I hear about weird dependency issues all the time with Macs (both Intel and the newer Apple Silicon)

Hence an independent source would be great. I should have stated I don't believe the existing Twitter verification system is good, nor is the proposed (now active?) one. I don't know what a good solution is, apart from a directory

Wow the comments here are very bitter. What do people have against people wanting to be verified for who they really are? For press this is important, so you know you're talking to the right person. Was always surprised there was no in

Just be careful, I haven't heard of account locks, but I'm sure it can happen. I just use it for cheap storage. You could add your other account onto it as a family plan, so Account A (main) can share Account B's (Turkish acc

I backup (encrypted) to multiple places, including to Google Drive using a Turkish billing account on another google account. 2tb works out to about $30USD per year. In terms of actual computer backups, thanks to btrfs+btrbk I can increment
