Theoretically..

IIRC, it only officially supports CentOS or some other baroque thing, doesn’t support importing or exporting mp4 when free, and also (unrelated to the product itself) Linux hw accel of video is flakey.

False? No US state has an age of consent below 16 except in cases between minors (Romeo & Juliet laws), which this most certainly isn't?

Oh! Did not know that

Probably with hacker news requiring that titles be in only english

Adding to your point, Seoul is visible from North Korea, and vice-versa, and likely has enough conventional artillery aimed at it that even without nukes an invasion would be Very Bad for the Korean people.

Poor devil has truly gone mad

supreme court

Cars suck for anybody who doesn’t have all of their faculties in order. Broke a leg, trains were my saviour.

just tested it and it seems to be a bit finicky

if i dont click those 5 presses fast enough it instead opens apple cash or whatever it’s called

i’m assuming that in a stressful situation it’d be much more consistent to hold down power and volume rather than clicking quickly

Not really? Unedited would be some sort of raw. JPEG usually implies preprocessed by the camera

Truth. I’m horrified at this backslide into, or at the very least newly unrestrained application of might makes right.

Same, I just had to learn it from somewhere else to find it here.

healthwise i guess for the bad

Consider myself educated, thanks!

The cones are the colour sensitive portion of the retina, but only make up a small percent of all the light detecting cells. The rods (more or less the brightness detecting cells) would still function in a deuteranopic person, so their luminance perception would basically be unaffected.

Also there’s something to be said about the fact that the eye is a squishy analog device, and so even if the medium wavelengths cones are deficient, long wavelength cones (red-ish) have overlap in their light sensitivities along with medium cones so…

i really do like kde, it just works and doesnt’t get in my way!

and there’s the fact that every update actually seems to improve the user experience is something quite astonishing in the current climate

im still reluctant about wayland but the work the kde team have put in to make it just work (x11 dpi, fractional scaling, actually supporting extensions) is just lovely

25 GiB for a single binary sounds horrifying

at some point surely some dynamic linking is warranted

the :1 is short for :0001 basically and then just put that bit of the address at the very end and put the first bit of the address at the front, and then just fill each missing group inbetween with 0000

along those lines, I saw a video where a light strobing pattern from quake was still used in a section half-life alyx (with much better lighting lol)

the fact the quake engine’s internals still live on in so many modern games is quite a feat

goodness that’s a lot of ads

this is probably one of the most promising candidates for an init system aside from systemd, right? I know openrc is still having trouble with parallel startups as a result of its design which is almost a must at this point. s6 is in the works from what I hear, but not configurable via simple config files yet.

What setting is there to make the tabs look better?

it’s a bit baroque but I use strace personally

it’s the current meaning he’s reciting he’s just adding etymological context

got any tips on what to look for on how obama bumbled obamacare? not too familiar on the subject myself

Unfortunately, the world is a complicated place and each one of these languages have their own benefits and tradeoffs that suit themselves to one particular language or another (ask an ML scientist to switch to raw C), leading to all of these languages having a valid place in the pantheon of softwares (except maybe for js). Since debian is a pragmatic OS, it needs to adapt to solve for the real problem of being generally usable, and thus supporting all of these languages. Rewriting Everything in one language would be a massive pain and likely a massive waste of time and supporting an OS with less reputation and stable footing like Redox would almost if not more counterproductive as rewriting everything in debian from scratch (it’s a bit hyperbolic to state the goal is to Rewrite Everything in rust), so supporting the gradual replacement of some mission critical components like the apt parser or whatever they’re talking about is likely more realistic. Although an OS definitely shouldn’t “move fast and break things” (especially not one like Debian) I don’t think it’s too ridiculous to drop support for architectures that can’t support a language that was released almost a decade ago. Having a proven language (I think it’s safe to say rust is proven by now, right?) that is much less prone to self-combustion on modification than C, yet maintains a directly compiled nature as well as being to interface relatively well with normal C libraries in some standard applications is a pretty good value-deal proposition in my opinion.

pretty sure the base minecraft rendering engine is still using opengl, and most of the improvement mods also just use opengl so exposing this extension to them is probably important to a game where its 50 billion simple cubes being rendered

I mean Khronos put that in for a reason. If the drivers didn't get explicit information about the application being run, they would do silly heuristics like quake3 to squeeze out performance.

That comment about how /dev/zero used to be used to allocate anonymous pages, anyone have more info? All I could find was a wikipedia article [0]

I know my own personal anecdote isn’t much, but I’ve noticed pretty good space savings on the order of like 100 GB from zstd compression and CoW on my personal disks with btrfs

As for the snapshots, things like LVM snapshots are pretty coarse, especially for someone like me where I run dm-crypt on top of LVM

I’d say zfs would be pretty well missed with its data integrity features. I’ve heard that btrfs is worse in that aspect, so given that btrfs saved my bacon with a dying ssd, I can only imagine what zfs does.

This might not be directly about btrfs but bcachefs zfs and btrfs are the only filesystems for Linux that provide modern features like transparent compression, snapshots, and CoW.

zfs is out of tree leaving it as an unviable option for many people. This news means that bcachefs is going to be in a very weird state in-kernel, which leaves only btrfs as the only other in-tree ‘modern’ filesystem.

This news about bcachefs has ramifications about the state of ‘modern’ FSes in Linux, and I’d say this news about the btrfs maintainer taking a step back is related to this.
