I'm curious what you use it for. I use Ivy and it had good fuzzy matching.

I've come to the conclusion that the UCP is just adversarial to anyone who's not them.

My guess (and hope) is it'll be just for fresh installs. That's a big change and could break things for some people. But we'll see!

I might give Wayland a try, but likely stay in X for a while yet. I have a little bit of software (like KeepassXC) that doesn't quite have full Wayland support yet.

Yes. It probably won't be available for install tomorrow, but I'm hoping its a pretty seamless upgrade once it lands in the repos.

Sega Dreamcast. It had and IMO still has some of the most unique games ever. Crazy Taxi, Powerstone, Jet Set Radio, the list goes on!

It's not actually open source (yet), and some AI bullshit. Hard nope from me.

I really don't get it though. Most of the time I run the same few command. cd and ls a bunch, SSH to some servers, docker-compose up, invoke a build script, pacman -Syyu, and the occasional grep. Maybe I'll curl if I'm feeling feisty.

For the times I do need to do something more complicated, I guess chatgpt might help, but I don't need it fully integrated into an always online terminal that I have to log into and pay for.

Just wait till someone leaks the freaky shit he's into.

Taking your data to flavortown!

Now chew box.

"The global video game business is big but barely growing, Spencer noted to me. One measure, from industry research firm Newzoo, estimates that 2023 game industry revenues were up just 0.6% from 2022. "

So still growth and a little bit more revenue. Total justification for mass layoffs. 🙄

I don't use Flatpak much, but I rarely see issues. Sometimes I see minor things like themes not quite being right, but its never been bad enough for me to spend the time to fix it.

I suppose another downside is the need to have the base runtime packages, so it could take more disk space if each app uses a different one. In practice apps will share runtimes though.

I've never heard of Skiff, but it's sad to see more software gobbled up by VCs. Though it sounds like the back end was never OSS to begin with?

I used to be so excited about a future where people were software literate where we would be building open systems and make a decent living. Instead, people have been force fed locked down systems in the name of "user experience", all so that a few people can make an absolute killing while the rest of us feed off the scraps (even if the scraps of the software industry are still pretty good). It just makes me sad.

I am extremely appreciative of folks who do make honest open source software though! Many of them do make a decent living too. It's hard not to lose hope when reading stuff like this, but then I remember that I'm typing this comment using Firefox on KDE Plasma running on a Linux kernel, right next to an Emacs session. Sticking to good open source software is a wonderful thing!

I've started using btop to kill processes instead of the ps, grep, kill incantation.

I can hear this photo!

Yes it seems that sometimes you can't stop an enemy attack. I wonder if that's by design.

The game certainly isn't as good as Chrono Trigger, but I'm enjoying it as a nice tribute.

I also run KDE on nvidia and have problems with Wayland. Supposedly the new drivers (version 550) have some improvements for Wayland, but I haven't tried out the beta yet.

Plasma 6 is just around the corner and it also has Wayland improvements.

When both land I'll probably try Wayland again, but for now X works really well for me and I don't feel I'm missing anything by not using Wayland. If anything, moving to Wayland will break some things (like global auto type in KeepassXC )

Nice to see someone else who's favourite game is Chrono Trigger!

Ever play Sea of Stars?

Lol just a different rendering engine. So easy!

Also wife bad

It doesn't really bother me, but like you I am bored of it and I generally ignore it, or block communities if I'm seeing too much of it.

It is really cool that the models can generate fairly detailed images, but they're all so similar and... boring. I once saw someone describe it like corporate art. It just tries to imitate something popular in a very mediocre way. You can keep re-training it, but it can still only imitate.

Still, if people are into it then that's ok too. I have used it at work on occasion to create stupid little icons for internal tools I've built, so I guess there's some little bit of utility.

My guess is that it'll be used for a while for cheap and low effort branding, but soon companies will want to hire real artists again to differentiate themselves from the ML spam.
