Ever since they started the Epic/Uplay exclusivity stuff, it's made it easier than ever to avoid buying their games.

Dor Askayo is joining the team to continue their work on variable refresh rate (vrr) support in Mutter

Hell yeah, hopefully this makes it in time for Gnome 46.

Traveling at high speeds just takes a lot of power regardless of fuel, but ICE cars are so inefficient in city driving it makes highways look good in comparison. 25-50mph might be more efficient, but every time you brake that kinetic energy is turned into waste heat, totally negating the benefit of driving slower.

EVs on the other hand have regenerative braking systems. Rather than using friction to slow the car down, they just use the motors by applying resistance to the wheels. The kinetic energy is used to charge the battery while slowing the car down. You get the benefit of slower speeds without much braking loss, so this is where EVs shine.

I hate Tesla and especially the Cybertruck as much as the next guy, but this was a highway test and that sounds like a completely normal result.

I own a Bolt EV which is rated for 259 miles of range. On the highway, that's more like ~220. That sounds bad, but the other side of it is that I get ~300 miles of range during my normal work commutes through the city. This is just how EVs are, the estimated range is based on a mixed test. EVs are backwards compared to ICE, you'll get ~20% less range than the EPA estimate driving highway speeds and ~20% more doing purely city driving.

Navidrome’s web player is actually pretty good and I could totally live with it if third party clients weren’t an option. Supersonic is more performant when loading 1800+ song playlists though, and infinite scrolling instead of the paginated web library is really nice.

I stream from my Navidrome server, Supersonic is great.

I'm absolutely at that point with Nextcloud. I kind of didn't want to go the syncthing route, but I'll probably give it a shot anyway since none of the NC alternatives seem any better.

This is probably what I'm doing wrong. I'm using linuxserver's docker which should be okay to auto update, but it just continuously degrades over time with updates until it becomes non-functional. Random login failures, logs failing to load, file thumbnails disappearing, the goddamn Collabora office docker that absolutely refuses to work for more than one week, etc.

I just nuke the NC docker and database and start from scratch every year or so.

I’m skeptical of hydrogen for consumer vehicles, but it makes total sense for something like this where refueling stations can be built on-site. If they can solve the refueling problem, there’s no reason to have 200+ expensive batteries for a fleet of electric forklifts.

Definitely CrossCode, I didn’t expect to love it as much as I did. I still need to play the DLC.

I daily drive Fedora, but I’ve used Arch, OpenSUSE, Debian, and more. Once you get used to how Linux works, distro doesn’t really matter that much aside from edge case distros that operate totally differently like Nix. I chose Fedora because I like the dnf package manager.

The only distro I don’t like is Ubuntu. I had to setup a Linux VM at work so I figured Ubuntu would be a good choice for that. Firefox is painfully slow to open because of Snap, so I uninstall it and run “apt install firefox” which Ubuntu overrides and installs the Snap again.

Fuck. That. Deleted the VM and installed Debian instead.

Plus, Nix’ docs are horrendous imo

I’ve been learning Nix recently and I can 100% agree on this. Their community forum is excellent though.

There's chance they did, but I didn't get any kind of announcement email about it. I also used an email alias for my old Mint account, so if I suddenly start getting spam emails to that address, I'll have my answer, lol

Hmm, I think I might be mistaken on that then. I remember them announcing that they were nixing the $15 plan (which a couple of my family members were on), but it's still there. Maybe they reverted it, or it was just Reddit spreading nonsense information. I'll edit my comment.

Tello. The service and price have been basically the same as pre-acquisition Mint. They also use T-Mobile's network but are not owned by them (...for now, at least.)

Also probably password hashes.

The company did not make it clear from this statement if hashed passwords were accessed by the attacker.

I don't expect good news if they chose not to share that detail.

I jumped ship to another carrier right after they were bought out by T-Mobile and I've dodged price hikes and now data breaches. T-Mobile just ruins everything they touch.

Nice! I'm still thinking about picking up Elden Ring. I'm not big on souls likes, but everyone seems to love this one.

Yeah, I’ve put Ubuntu Touch on a Pixel 3a and had a pretty similar experience unfortunately. I see potential, but it’s just not usable yet (for me at least).

I think he means the whole “Not enough users to justify porting applications, users don’t use it because applications don’t support it” thing.

The problem is that logic has been dead for years. Users are here. The Steam Deck is wildly popular. Tim Sweeney is just a dumbass.
