The switch does it for *some* games when running portably and then enables most things when docked. A lot of that is battery management.

The steamdeck does not really have a concept of dual modes, per your own statements about playing on a bigger screen.

And I completely disagree that AA isn’t needed on smaller screens. You can see aliasing at any screen size.

Again, perhaps it meets your threshold of quality. That does not mean it meets mine nor does it mean that the form factor somehow obviates it. It just means that we have subjectively different preferences.

But again, I disagree that “it’s not needed”. That’s not why games will disable AA in handheld mode. AA is expensive and a cost they try and mitigate with art direction that tries to avoid much of the losses.

The steamdeck is not just playing games designed for a small screen. Many games suffer from shimmering and shifting. Whether that’s an issue for you or not is independent of whether they exist and might be issues for others.

This is not the absolute hill one should die on.

As long as you have to check the code that is being generated by this AI, it means you don't trust it. Thus, there will always be human programmers. But I would also say there would be less programmers but not none.

Here's one prediction that will likely become true:

Stability AI will lose the Getty Images lawsuit in under 5 years and will reach a settlement with Getty in licensing the images used to train Stable Diffusion.
Certificate transparency and the fact that Chrome only trusts leaf certificates that are in multiple log servers stop governments or rouge CA’s from doing a ssl mitm(or at least doing so quietly).
I would not underestimate the amount of weight behind the development and commercialization of hydrogen technology. Everyone in the oil and gas industry, including natural gas utilities, has a strong incentive to figure out how to make it work.

Twitter is a hard platform to get into I think, I used to think for a long time that what good is this thing for. Then it kinda clicked, at least for me it's not about tweeting stuff, but it's more about finding the people who are interesting and participating in discussions.

It takes time to find people to follow who share information that you are interested in. It also takes constant teaching and hiding the info you don't want to see, but once you build a good following of people (for me personally sw dev and tech and so on), the value you can find out from just seeing what people are working on and sharing their findings, can be very valuable and entertaining.
Cool. Glad we agree that you want the content but don’t want to provide what they’re asking for it, and that you don’t care.

"Very tedious without it" doesn't sound like just 5% improvement?

I've started developing in a new language and I can hardly do any work without the LLM assistance, the friction is just too high. Even when auto-competitions are completely wrong they still get the ball rolling, it's so much easier to fix the nicely formatted code than to write from scratch. In my case the improvement is vast, a difference from slacking off and actually being productive.

Let's think about what it means to "make money". The phrase itself is already misleading because no one can make money, money is "made" by the central banks by changing some numbers in mainframe databases. These mainframes are connected to some local distribution banks like credit unions which then enable economic activity by business loans and other kinds of "investments", e.g. local government services like street cleaning, trash pickup, churches, schools, electricity, sewage, &etc. On top of this you have peripheral financial engineering like PayPal and credit cards.

At least that's the gist of it anyway. So no one can actually "make money" but what they can do is figure out how to tap into the flow of economic services that will get them indirect access to some of the numbers in the database managed by the central banks. At this point there are one of two things you can do which is either do something that enables governments to manage their populations by moving people around and keeping them clothed, housed, and fed (essential services) or you can provide non-essential services like keeping people entertained when they're not working and informing them of what's happening in the world at large, e.g. podcasts and newsletters. The problem is the following, there is no way to get rich from doing any of this because all of these things are saturated with enough people such that the overall money pie is already split between them pretty evenly so none of them are going to end up rich in any meaningful sense. This means the only way to truly get rich is to operate on a scale that no one has thought of before, e.g. Microsoft, Google, OpenAI, Amazon, Salesforce, SpaceX, Dell, Nvidia, AMD, Arm, Raytheon, Saudi Aramco, &etc.

Most of the time people are just fighting over scraps and the best they can hope for is some steady source of income that pays their rent and affords them some basic luxuries like visiting Las Vegas and watching a few acrobatic shows.

The people that are truly rich like Klaus Schwab operate in an entirely different world. Similarly for the executives at big pharma and big tech.

I'd say the game is inherently unfair but it still doesn't prevent people from playing it to the detriment of all the players involved.

Use in the laundry for regular stains: Soak stubborn stains on cotton, polyester, or nylon fabrics with a solution of 2/3 cup clear ammonia, 2/3 cup dish soap, 6 tablespoons of baking soda, and 2 cups warm water. Let it soak for about 30 minutes, then launder as usual. Never use ammonia on wool or silk.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to wash clothes with ammonia:

1. Read the garment labels: Check the care instructions on your clothing items to ensure they can be safely washed with ammonia. Some delicate fabrics or certain colors may not be suitable for this method, so it's important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations.

2. Prepare the washing machine: Start by setting up your washing machine as you would for a regular load of laundry. Sort your clothes by color, fabric type, and level of dirtiness.

3. Measure the ammonia: For a typical load of laundry, use about 1/2 cup to 1 cup of ammonia. Adjust the amount based on the size of your load and the level of dirt or stains on the clothes.

4. Add the ammonia to the washing machine: Pour the measured amount of ammonia directly into the detergent dispenser or the main wash compartment of your washing machine. Be careful not to spill any ammonia on your skin or clothing.

5. Add detergent: Add your regular laundry detergent to the same compartment as the ammonia. The detergent will work in conjunction with the ammonia to clean your clothes effectively.

6. Start the wash cycle: Close the washing machine lid or door and start the wash cycle using the appropriate settings for your clothing items. Follow the machine's instructions for temperature, water level, and cycle duration.

7. Complete the wash cycle: Allow the washing machine to complete the cycle as usual. Once finished, remove the clothes promptly to prevent wrinkling or odor development.

8. Rinse the clothes: If you prefer, you can run an additional rinse cycle to ensure all traces of ammonia and detergent are thoroughly rinsed out. This step is particularly important if you have sensitive skin or are concerned about potential residue.

9. Dry the clothes: Depending on the fabric type and garment care instructions, dry the clothes by air drying, using a clothesline, or by using a dryer.

10. Clean the washing machine: After completing the load with ammonia, consider running an empty cycle with hot water and a cup of white vinegar to help remove any residual ammonia smell or build-up in the washing machine.

Remember to handle ammonia with care, follow safety guidelines, and avoid mixing it with other cleaning agents, such as bleach, as it can produce hazardous fumes. Always keep ammonia out of reach of children and pets.

Additionally, if you have specific stains or heavily soiled items, it's advisable to spot treat them before washing with ammonia.
The kernel is much more likely to be "actually" built from source by Gentoo users (in the sense of going and doing things with "make" in the kernel source directory) than any other package. There are automatic options available for the kernel but the "just get the sources and handle the rest yourself" option is, I'm sure, more popular for the kernel than anything else.

I'm just going based on their direct comments: https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/red-hats-commitment-open-sour...

"There was a time, not too long ago, that Red Hat found value in the work done by rebuilders like CentOS. We pushed our SRPMs out to git.centos.org in a neat package that made them easy to rebuild; we even de-branded it for them. More recently, we have determined that there isn’t value in having a downstream rebuilder."

These comments are explicitly about a focus on doing the things that directly drive revenue. Their actions correlate with their stated direction.

We can debate whether the direction is right or wrong for them (I'm explictly not making a judgment here), but the direction and intent are clear.

When threads goes live there will be tens of millions of people with existing Meta user profiles entering it overnight. There are currently ~13M Mastodon users, most of which I'm sure are not really active. So depending on how federation into ActivtyPub is set up, it will be like Eternal September x 100. Their content will likely dwarf anything out in Mastodon land. And judging by what I see on Facebook and Instagram, I don't hold out high hopes for the quality of that content or the behaviour of those users.

I'm not worried about it really because I think the ethic of fediverse as such that they will be quickly de-federated. But it won't be fun along the way.
I had one for years, but it got shutdown probably because of under-utilization.

More trouble than it's worth, imo. Was fun while it lasted.
I don't want to come off as an apologist for Oracle or the OCI product, but I can't help to wonder if there's more to the story than just "this provider will randomly ban accounts without any reason".

The only real "without any reason" I'm aware of is free tier infra running on an account that hasn't upgraded to paid tenancy. "Always-Free" resources belonging to an unpaid tenancy can be deallocated without notice in order to provide resources for a paid tenancy.
Distributed, consensus based DBs are incredibly complicated and fail in spectacular ways. It makes sense to me that you would want your infrastructure base layer to be relatively boring technology.
No, per the RHEL agreement they have the right to terminate your subscription "upon review" if you do any of this. It's a subtle difference but it's also worlds apart from "you will have your subscription terminated" (i.e. automatically, as a matter of fact/contract) in the court of law (and in terms of real world repercussions for anyone that isn't building a competing distro).

The problem isn't that you started doing it for money, it's that you didn't get much money in return. Your "business" has failed, but if you had managed to make money, you would've been satisifed.

Turning passion to business doesn't sound right, as if you're selling your soul, if you looked at it like "I tried to make money doing it but the ROI wasn't good" like any other project, I feel like it'd have been more graceful.

How can I re-enable the add-ons that are not allowed on some websites?

We understand that installing add-ons is a user choice and, as with your security, we also take this matter very seriously. If you are aware of the associated risk and still wish to allow the add-ons that have been disallowed on a website by Mozilla, you can do it from the configuration editor (about:config):
What does that buy you? The challenge is merely an authorization, intercepting it does not get you a certificate.
with software, it's particularly problematic - the dependency hell: libs, api, versions, platforms, players, os. your software needs documenting, and so do the deps. and if you want to run it/replay it, good luck getting it operational 20years from now let alone in year 3000.

when a book, newspaper, magazine is published, a copy is archived with the National Library - narrative etc preserved.

Websites get some archiving, but pay-walling is threatening this.
Other types of software is very tricky.
Right but that didn't change in last 20 years. Cities that suck driving (and walking) in now sucked as much and more 20 years ago. It's not that that changed how much people want to have driving license.

Hopefully they really put effort into the web part of the product, I mean really writing text on a phone or even a tablet is not so easy.

But I'm guessing they wont do that, as Meta wants lock in and registration, and following all your data.

I find it increases my productivity about 5-10% when working with the technologies I'm the most familiar with and use regularly (Elixir, Phoenix, JavaScript, general web dev.) But when I'm doing something unfamiliar and new, it's more like 90%. It's incredible.

Recently at work, for example, I've been setting up a bunch of stuff with some new technologies and libraries that I'd never really used before. Without ChatGPT I'd have spent hours if not days poring through tedious documentation and outdated tutorials while trying to hack something together in an agonising process of trial and error. But ChatGPT gave me a fantastic proof-of-concept app that has everything I needed to get started. It's been enormously helpful and I'm convinced it saved me days of work. This technology is miraculous.

As for my job security... well, I think I'm safe for now; ChatGPT sped me up in this instance but the generated app still needs a skilled programmer to edit it, test it and deploy it.

On the other hand I am slightly concerned that ChatGPT will destroy my side income from selling programming courses... so if you're a Rails developer who wants to learn Elixir and Phoenix, please check out my course Phoenix on Rails before we're both replaced by robots: PhoenixOnRails.com

It seems like it would be easy to just normalize scores. Rather than a book’s score being the average rating they’ve received, it should be a z-score based on all ratings.
I picked up Forza Horizon 5 for 50% off and Doom Eternal for 67% off. Cyberpunk is 50% off, Back 4 Blood is 80% off, Control is 75% off. It’s not everything that’s on huge sales, but there’s plenty of deals on big games.

I use it as my default file system on FreeBSD. It was rough in FreeBSD 7.x (around 2009), but starting with FreeBSD 8.x it has been rock solid to this day. The only gotcha (which the documentation warns about) has been that automatic block level deduplication is only useful in a few special applications and has a large main memory overhead unless you can accept terrible performance for normal operations (e.g. a bandwidth limited offsite backup).
I see two conflicting motivations here and everyone has to decide for a tradeoff between these two: Being happy and being rich(er).

Do what the Market wants means making a tradeoff in favor of earning more (and becoming rich(er)).

Doing what you want to do means making a tradeoff in favor of your happiness. You will perhaps earn less, but what you do is more in tune with your values.

A tradeoff is not always required and both of these motivations may become synergies, but in the authors case, I think this is what happened.

Piggybacking off your comment to add some additional questions; I'm in a similar boat as you.

I've always been a user of the Debian and Arch worlds. The RHEL/Fedora/etc world has been this "other" part of Linux that I frankly haven't touched much, and haven't yet found a reason to.

One thing I'm not totally clear on is what specifically Red Hat offers that people pay for, i.e. what are the details of the "+ stability + patches" of what GP mentioned. Are there paid applications as well? Is paid support a large part of the business model? And so on and so on. I'm still just a little mystified by the RHEL business model, and every time I hear someone talk about it, it's literally vague one-word answers such as "stability," "patches," "support," "enterprise stuff," etc. Even the RHEL FAQ offers essentially just that.

I'm still not quite informed enough to be able to confidently lean one way or the other, but I have to say that I can't shake the feeling that RHEL's business model ultimately relies on exploiting their customers' desire to change their systems as little as possible, even if it means the customers eschew more modern systems that make obsolete the need for the kind of products and services RHEL provides. Or to put it another way, RHEL enables their customers to live with "the devil they know," and not adopt more modern best practices. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, I get it, but also if that is indeed the case, it seems like a rickety foundation upon the already rickety foundation of trying to sell open source software that easily be unseated by, say, the nix model of doing things.

I don't know, I could be dead wrong, but starting from what I've seen most other tech companies do and mixing it with a dash of "the idea of paying for Linux seems insane to me"...in lieu of better information, I can't dismiss the above out of hand.
