  • Some updates after sleeping on it and trying some morning debugging:

    • It's actually either service being enabled that prevents login
    • It's a gnome-shell issue. Logging into a tty is fine, and shows that it's gnome-shell crashing when trying to log-in normally

    Maybe it's time to go back to debian...

  • man 1 git-gud

  • Keep the files in a dedicated torrents folder then make symlinks to where you actually want them?

  • Be aware there are basically two different things called Owncloud. There's still the original php version, which is similar to nextcloud but worse (not open source, smaller plugin ecosystem I think)

    On the other hand is owncloud "infinite scale" (or ocis). This is the thing entirely written in go. But as others have pointed out, it's little more than a file server at this point.

    IMO the self-hosting community is really missing a self-contained "all the DAVs" server (files, calendar, contacts). Baikal etc seem like a great start, but it would be great to have somewhere to get those parts pre-assembled. Until then, nextcloud works for me.

  • Its called "modern standby" or something, and is the main option for suspending windows laptops I believe

  • Are there any new features in particular you're hoping for?

    For me, those two are the only things I can remember thinking it would be nice to have. Q

  • For me at least, my objection with YouTube is that Google takes a cut. I'd much rather contribute an equivalent amount to some creators via patreon and adblock the site.

    Also I'm not saying the host doesn't deserve a cut, I just think that corporations like Google are a general pest that should be eradicated

  • I agree, but my point was that cost isn't a sufficient explanation.

    I think I particularly agree with @megopie@beehaw.org: one reason we see photo-realism instead of more stylised graphics is that it is more generic, and thus less dependent on a specific team.

    The more artistic/creative your work, the less interchangeable your workers are.

  • But you could also make the same argument about graphical fidelity, which has been pushed further and further for decades, greatly swelling the cost of production

  • The Koru is a 416-foot masterpiece with three towering masts, each standing 230 feet tall, that harness kinetic energy to propel the vessel. The yacht is so massive that, for it to leave the shipyard after completion, a historic bridge in Rotterdam had to be dismantled. Bezos even offered to fund the dismantling and reconstruction of the 95-year-old De Hef bridge but later abandoned the plan amid public outcry. Eventually, Koru was towed away without her masts, which were later assembled.

    The tone of this article is astonishing. "He even offered to pay to vandalise a historic building", how selfless..

  • I use magit in Emacs in a similar sort of way. Bringing up the magit status page instantly presents a list of hunks I can browse and stage. When committing, there is also an option to "instant fixup" into an existing commit, which you can select interactively from the commit log.

  • Green is my pepper... If you know what I mean... 😏

  • For me it becomes an issue when I try to make decisions from my character's perspective. If I try to lean into the RP part of RPG then I often feel like I have to leave a load of content behind because it just wouldn't be a high priority.

    I agree with the FO1 timer though. I ended up beelining to the necropolis and got trapped in an endgame bunker because I didn't want that timer hanging over me.

  • Reading time 105 minutes...

    And worth every second!

    I decided to have another go at learning C++ given all the recent work that I had heard about regarding memory safety and support for functional programming. This gives me a lot less confidence that my efforts will be worth it in the long run.

    Time to check out rust I guess 🤷.

  • I can't imagine that's any more free than bitwarden?

  • The big downside is that, for backwards compatibility, the default must still be unsafe code. Ideally this could be toggled with a compiler flag, rather than having to wrap most code in "safe" blocks (like rust, but backwards).

    One potential upside that people don't seem to be discussing is that the safe subset could also be the place to finally start cutting down the bloat of C++. We could encourage most developers to write exclusively in the safe subset, and aim to make that the "much smaller and cleaner language" trying to get out of C++.

  • Obviously there's a lot of caveats about how representative this survey (or any other survey) is of the broader population, but I think this is a good reminder of how weird we all are. Nobody on here claims to use Ubuntu or Manjaro, yet they are more popular than Fedora (and potentially even arch, when steam decks are discounted).

    There's nothing wrong with that, I love the weirdness of the Lemmy Linux community! I just always think it's good to appreciate when opinions (like my love of ublue) aren't as popular as you think they are.

  • Thanks, for computing some useful statistics! As much as I believe the implied hypothesis that working at Amazon is bad for one's health, I think the guardian intentionally tried to present the largest number possible with no context.

    Frankly, "Amazon warehouse employees 10x more likely to need an ambulance" is a more impactful headline anyway.

  • Please somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I really don't find the "chip makers don't have to pay licence fees" a compelling argument that RISC-V is good for the consumer. Theres only a few foundries capable of making CPUs, and the desktop market seems incredibly hard to break into.

    I imagine it's likely that the cost of ISA licencing isn't what's holding back competition in the CPU space, but rather its a good old fashioned duopoly combined with a generally high cost of entry.

    Of course, more options is better IMO, and the Linux community's focus on FOSS should make hopping architectures much easier than on Windows or MacOS. But I'd be surprised if we see a laptop/desktop CPU based on RISC-V competing with current options anytime soon.

  • We have bad/corrupt governments sometimes, that doesn't mean we should get rid of governments. (Though maybe the libertarian Fraser institute might disagree with me there.)
