The first line in the email that I linked is pretty unambiguous: > Oh Christ. Is somebody seriously working on BE support in 2025? Followed by Eric: > And as someone who works on optimized crypto and CRC code, the arm64 big endian ker

Oh, you're completely correct. I got confused by dconf dump and import (which is the text format), the latter home-manager does transparently. As for the grand parent comment, yeah, I guess the UI situation sucks - but I did everything

As much as I will never touch the DE ever again, GNOME's reliance on simple text files made it an absolute joy to use with Nix home-manager. I would be 100% on board with using gnome settings infra across the board.

Linus hates big endian, and has some choice words to say about switchable [1]. This incarnation of Linus is certainly my favorite :) [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-%3DwgYcOiFvsJzFb%2BHfB4n6W...

While I largely agree, I do think a more significant portion of the problems are caused by Nadella's claims of 30% ML-generated code. If true (as a peddler of ML, there are many reasons for him not to be truthful) the is a rather stron

Does this deal with, what I call the "Armin Problem?" I typically listen to EDM and there is an extremely popular DJ named Armin van Buuren, and he has other aliases (which exacerbates the issue). His sets end up directly on music

That's what you need to get through ATS. Resumes are for HR. Unless specifically asked (or e.g. directly emailing someone around here) save the fireworks for the interview.

This is a double-edged sword. Zigbee's issue was that anyone could make devices and modify the protocol. Tons of devices are vendor-locked to their first-party hub. Philips attempted to do this recently with a firmware update and onl

I inferred a trick from his original video. Dish soap and dishwasher detergent are not the same; the latter contains an enzyme that breaks food down. If you have something that is completely wrecked, fill it with piping hot water and put a

I like the idea of Linux-native games but I've honestly never gotten it to work. Not on Ubuntu, not on Fedora, not on NixOS. The Steam Runtime is supposed to remove the distro from the equation - but, again, I've never seen it w

He said that the market share wasn't worth it. Yet they support MacOS (which has had a lower market share compared to Linux in this segment for a while).

The only sure-fire way to defeat cheats is with something like Counter Strike's overwatch system: have humans vet replays. Cheats are a ludicrous business, there is simply far too much incentive to defeat software-based systems.

Have you actually tried it? Dual sticks (which is not quite as niche as a racing cockpit but still somewhat) via Wine just worked for me with zero effort - actually less than Windows which had joystick ID horrors.

Kernel-based on Linux is pointless unless SacureBoot is used with fixed vendor certs (you can still SB custom kernels on most consumer mobos). I believe that only Microsoft exists in the default certs, so impossible for all intents and purp

There's already [edit: multiple] comments here that are blaming human anatomy, despite the competition not having this issue. No need for Apple to claim it. It amazes me what people are willing to suffer merely because Apple makes it.

Someone seriously needs to be taken to task for filing a false DMCA. DMCA is just another term for SLAPP these days. If anyone is a lawyer, they could still be despite retracting the case?

Your radiation exposure next to a coal power plant (thorium in ash) is significantly higher than a nuclear power plant (background radiation). I imagine this is much the same.

It uses Git for storage and does not support LFS, so it's as bad as Git used to be for this specific usecase.

You may not be aware of this, but Paypal is unregulated. They can, and have, overreached. This is very different from a bank who has regulations to follow, some of which protect the consumer from the whims of the bank.
