Yeah, that sounds like the age old “why so many desktops (or other apps)” debate. Because we can. Because doing new things is fun. Because this isn’t all about being effective and capitalist logic.
4·10 days agoYou have checked Krita? I’m not doing much so it’s more than enough for me.
We’ll find out tomorrow, I guess 🫠
Classic case of “that’s not what LLMs are made for”?
Is it easy to get NVIDA drivers, Vulkan, Cuda etc in Debian? I somehow thought that was kind finicky, not sure why …
Can confirm that the Razer BIOS is absolutely bar bones. Never really minded that and as I said aside of the non-working speakers (apparently a known problem with Razer) it was all good.
I’ve used a Razer Blade 16 last year and could never get the speakers to work no matter what I tried. Tested quite a few distros (Mint, Manjaro, Debian) and ultimately settled on Fedora. Didn’t mind the speakers not working much since I used Bluetooth speakers/headphones mostly anyway. Other then that Fedora worked prefectly.
1·14 days agoOh, that sounds nice! I think it would be very smart of Europe to build their own (open-source) infrastructure just in case someone not reliable were to become US president … Can’t hurt to start preparing (better far to late than never …)
And it’s not like a giant ant would not be still terrifying:

I’m really having high hopes of Schleswig Holstein doing of right (I’m also being prepared of these hopes being crushed 😸). A Swiss Linux podcast (Captain, It’s Wednesday) did an interview with one of the politicians responsible for the project and it sounded like the looked at why these projects have failed in the past and are trying to learn from the mistakes:
So I would love if this would be the case (German gov using open soruce software) but tbh this reads like marketing bs to me, sorry. “Aims to transform public administration”, “providing Germany’s public sector with a secure and open-source alternative”. Yes, good. Nice. Cool. But are any government agencies are actually using it? I feel like if they wpild be they’d surely name them …
Not much new for me, already on Plasma 6.2 with Kinoite, but there seems to be an alternative to rpm-ostree coming up (not sure if/why it’s needed/better but if I don’t have to remember when it is “rpm-ostree” and when it’s “ostree” in cli I’m all for it 😸):
You’ve checked out this:

? I think I’ve used --write-subs and --sub-langs all and it worked as expected in the past.
1·19 days agoYeah, making that G capital really makes it look like a C, amazing job 🤦♀️
I use Joplin with a selfhosted sync server but tbh I almost never use it on Android because it’s just so cumbersome. Would be up for reccs as well. There’s Nextcloud Notes (no desktop, only browser afaik) and a lot of people seem to be using rabdom Markdown note editors and syncing that with Syncthing but I’ve had bad experiences with that kn the past (stuff not being synced, constant conflicts etc).
Ah, ok. Very nice!
Intro-skipping is build-in now? Did I get this right? I thought they decided against it?
Yeah, lots of edgelord-vibes in this garbage.
The roles are not reversed, though (quite the opposite), so no need to worry about that:
