No they probably wanted to hear how great some random Arch derivatives that does that thing 3 people are talking about

[-] unionagainstdhmo@aussie.zone 1 points 2 days ago

I'm not comfortable that Fedora and derivatives give the same stability opportunity as Atomic distros

[-] unionagainstdhmo@aussie.zone 3 points 3 days ago

Atomic distros + distrobox/toolbx. Bluefin is a good start for general desktop or Bazzite for gaming (But Bluefin can be more stable, I use it for some games with steam in flatpak). If something breaks roll back to any release in the last 90 days with a single command. Install all of your packages in a distrobox (Arch if you need it). Otherwise in general Fedora is pretty good.

That issue is not good criticism, it's rude and demanding and has no place in a hobby project. I've shown what good criticism would look like.

I AM NOT SAYING THE ISSUE IS INVALID. THE MAINTAINER ABSOLUTELY SHOULD RESPOND TO IT AS IT IS IMPORTANT. I FOUND THE WORDING RUDE AND ENTITLED WHICH MAKES THE ISSUE WAY LESS INVITING.

I like how if you misgender someone on here without being able to see their pronouns your entire instance may get defederated. However, apparently it's okay to be arseholes to OSS maintainers.

I did some further reading into it. The maintainer might be an arseholes with high standards who doesn't accept PRs or maybe they don't have a lot of time.

Fucking hell this website is a waste of time.

I don't understand how "appalled" being strong language is so controversial, maybe everyone here is just a rude little shit.

I would have worded it like so:

Hi, I'm concerned about the BLOBs used in this repo as they are a security risk, making the code less auditable. It looks like we could generate these BLOBs in a github action or something so we can keep the fast build process while making it easier to audit the code. I'm not exactly sure how to go about this myself but I've done similar things in other projects, maybe you could point me in the right direction as I am unfamiliar with the ventoy build process? Thanks for the really cool project, and hopefully we can sort this out easily. Looking forward to your response.

I did it with less anger and entitlement and in less words

Laptop woes (aussie.zone)

I've had this Dell Inspiron 15 7510 for a couple of years now. It has an Intel Core i7-11800H (8C/16T) and an RTX 3050 Mobile (4gb) and 16GB of RAM with a 512GB NVME SSD. It's served me well but it's been really niggling me as of late:

  • The i7 runs HOT for whatever reason and the fans will go loud because of this, while doing light work (it's doing it right now and I've only got FF open).
  • The plastic that holds the hinge in place finally snapped so I need to replace the entire top lid.
  • The battery will only last for 2Hrs (and that's as long as it has ever lasted)
  • F*ck NVIDIA on Linux

Whatever I decide to do I'm going to need to replace that lid.

Is it worth trying to sell it (after repairing it) and using that to offset a Framework laptop (which might be cheaper in the long run)? Or should I just keep using it for the next couple of years to get full value from it?

I don't need a really powerful laptop anymore since I've bought a Dell (I know right) T7910 second hand which I've upgraded to 64GB of RAM and an RX Vega 56 which is more than enough for any of my gaming and high performance computing needs (I study Computational Science and Physics at university). The main thing that matters is Linux compatibility

Followup on my previous post. Door behaved normally on an N*R for me the other day, maybe just something wrong with the one I was on. We no longer need to boycott QR

QR have gone woke (aussie.zone)

Idk they've made it such that when you press the button to open the door the door will not open unless you press the button again when the train is stopped. At least on the N*Rs. Probably a safety feature or something but I don't like it so it's woke.

I'm a big fan of this FOSS game and very excited for it's future, the game being around 20 years old

I'm developing a program in C++ targeting flatpak, since I'm on an immutable system I'd rather develop for flatpak than try using a container (plus I can't get SDL to open a window in a container anyway). Everything works with GNOME Builder but it's not as nice to use as vscode: less syntax highlighting, doesn't reopen where I left off, can't debug multiple instances (Not to say I don't like GNOME Builder - it's really good and will only get better, it's just slowing me down at this point). I managed to get the flatpak building and debugging from within code, using the vscode-flatpak extension the only thing not working properly is clangd. I am using the meson build system.

This is probably a bit of a long shot, but has anyone else tried to do this?

BTW I'm not talking about using clangd with the vscode flatpak package

I'm not really sure what you're saying here. Microsoft have every right to fix the bug themselves and the maintainer has every right not to. Open source software doesn't come with a warranty in most licensed.

There are two things in the world I can't stand: people who are intolerant of other people's cultures... and the Dutch.

The average consumer isn't going to toss out a good computer they bought if it can't run Windows 11. They're certainly not installing Linux. They'll keep using Windows 10 for as long as they can. I've seen way too much of Windows XP still running on people's computers, if it can still browse the web, access emails and look at Facebook they're not spending money on a new one

Why make new apps, we should be focusing on rewriting everything in Rust /s

Bad enough I had to use Chromium to get to that stage, just imagine what they'll do when Web Environment Integrity comes out
