Pakistan’s tech workers are fleeing the country in droves

Jump

  • Afghanistan is the way it currently is because Pakistan sabotaged it in a galaxy-brain play against India. Pakistan is honestly not great.

    • Does steam run as well on other distros (Ubuntu, Pop, etc) as well as on SteamOS?

    Jump

  • I'm running it on NixOS. The Steam Deck experience is significantly more rich in terms of features like overlays etc. but the games play just as well on my NixOS desktop. In fact Proton etc. is so good atm there's no point in having Windows. Only game I know that doesn't work is Fortnite, and luckily that's not a genre I enjoy.

  • You'd need to have different files for different subsets, then, and use some sort of cloud storage for sync

    • DisplayPort: A Better Video Interface

    Jump

  • For speakers and headphones you can measure frequency response. But this is less fun than having a person listen and describe the sound with weird adjectives.

    • Linux updates tease Valve 'Galileo' and 'Sephiroth' - Steam Deck refresh? Or new VR?

    Jump

  • Steam Deck OLED?

    • Starfield and Bethesda Tomfoolery

    Jump

  • It does seem to be the best one, although CPU parallelism seems awful. No one wants to use CryEngine, and Godot and Unity is only used by indies

  • Well, he knows tech media, and he's generally regarded as a competent tech journalist 🤷‍♂️

    • Japan to release Fukushima water into ocean starting Aug 24

    Jump

  • This is such a weird nothingburger. Not very radioactive water released in a massive ocean. Will have no effect on anything.

  • He was formerly at Anandtech, I think.

    • Looks like google domains is no more.

  • Hope they didn't instead pick the security shitshow over at Azure.

    • Sunak's family firm signed a billion-dollar deal with BP before PM opened new North Sea licences

  • Bring back Theresa May!

  • Don't do dist-upgrades of servers. Get a second server, set that up with the new OS and software, transfer traffic to the new server, shut down the old one.

  • As a NixOS user I can confirm. It's quite nice in some ways, infuriating in others.

    • How is pirating software a thing?

    Jump

  • Make a dedicated user on your machine for pirated software. Never give that user root. Should contain it.

    • Miiiiiiiiiiiiiist

    Jump

  • This particular thing kinda sucks, though. I also hate when there’s a puzzle that goes “you know that interaction that normally doesn’t work? We’ve enabled it here and it’s how you’re supposed to solve this puzzle! Surprise!”

    • Parts of Italy could see highs of 48°C in the coming days stoking fears of an increase in heat-related deaths. Croatia, France, Greece, Spain and Turkey could also face temperatures of around 40°C.

    Jump

  • The trouble is that parts of Europe that didn't use to get hot now get hot, but still don't have AC. But that's mostly because of conservatism.
