I have a gaming PC running arch, and the experience has improved immensely since I last tried it 4 years ago. Legitimately incredible what valve has done for the platform, and my suspicion is that AI/ML investment will continue to have secondary effects that make gaming on Linux even better.
I can't help but feeling a little sad about single use electronics. Not even from an environmental perspective (though there's that too) but just the fact that there's some pretty cool electronics, doing digital and analog stuff, wireless communication etc, that does it's thing once, and then never again.
An AI-infused search for hard to find discussions between team members that happened somewhere in the past is nice, I guess.

What I find slack enables though, is technical documentation being stored in such chats instead of something more formal, like an API or an up to date README.

Even more horrible is technical know-how being shared in video calls, as video-calls are easy to make, are interactive, you can draw, you can have fun, "it is easier and takes less time this way".
I’ve got a dedicated windows sffpc for games running Windows 11. IMO, it’s a terrible OS for a dedicated gaming box or htpc. I constantly have to switch from controller to a keyboard and touchpad because of new settings, random pop-up notifications, etc. after updates I’ll find disabled things that were re-enabled or new “features” that require me to disable because everything is auto opt-in… I had auto login enabled for a long time before it randomly stopped working and somehow the host had switched from local to Microsoft account login. Attempts to switch back resulted in a weird semi-broken state. I just left it as Microsoft login and found a way to re-enable auto-login with the Microsoft account.

Windows 10 was pretty easy to convert to a htpc or arcade box. Windows 11 not so much, feels like I’m running a rolling release run by someone who doesn’t care about user experience
Did you consider Pop_OS? What made you choose Fedora? I went with Pop but I’ve always been curious about Fedora and really impressed that Wayland is working so well for you on Nvidia.
That’s smells like one hell of a lock-in
Do it. I recently built a beefy machine, the first time in years that I have something I can play on, it's Linux only and it's great. Deepening on the games you play, check protondb first.
I really hope I’m wrong. Can you imagine the massive unemployment and social chaos if I’m not? I’m rarely wrong about AI though. For example, five years ago I predicted (in a comment here on HN) Turing test will be passed within two years. People called me bat shit crazy, said “in 50 years“, “not in my lifetime”, only one said “in 10 years”. GPT3 happened a year later, and after GPT3.5 people suddenly forgot about the importance of TT as a milestone. I guess it no longer requires “AI”.

I’m a Principal level SWE, and a team lead. I have junior devs on my team. I only need a similar increase of intelligence from GPT4 as 3.5–>4.0 to replace them.
And I said that the killings in Santa Cruz has nothing with religion.

Abangan Muslim usually means "not practicing", therefore even further from "they were killed because they were not muslim"

I believe this article is a prime example of an intuition pump. I'm literally a different person after reading it.
>Just like an Linux is horrible for doing video editing

Doesn't Davinci Resolve run well on Linux? I've heard most VFX and Animation work is done on Linux workstations and render farms.

Really it's just the absence of Adobe and a few beginner-friendly tools, I'd say.

Haven't read xe article for a while. Why does xe move away from NixOS? I'm pretty sure I read blog about nix being best container builder a while ago.
They wrote off a bunch too and the auditor office gave up on valuing it.

Whole thing is a dodgy mess.
We are lacking a comparison to those who did not get anything. As just someone taking an interest in you can have a lasting effect. So hard to say in absolute terms.

All good, just burning the planet, nothing to see here, move along.

Also, LOL:

> As of 2020, foreigners represent 88.1% of the population.

> UAE law does not allow trade unions to exist. The right to collective bargaining and the right to strike are not recognised, and the Ministry of Labour has the power to force workers to go back to work. Migrant workers who participate in a strike can have their work permits cancelled and be deported. Consequently, there are very few anti-discrimination laws in relation to labour issues, with Emiratis – and other GCC Arabs – getting preference in public sector jobs despite lesser credentials than competitors and lower motivation. In fact, just over eighty per cent of Emirati workers hold government posts, with many of the rest taking part in state-owned enterprises such as Emirates airlines and Dubai Properties. Western states, including the United Kingdom, were also warned by the Emirati Trade Minister, Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi to keep politics separate from trade and the economy, as it dilutes the agreements' main objectives. In 2023, Al Zeyoudi indicated that these countries should "tone down" the human and workers' rights provisions in the trade deals, in order to gain greater market access and business opportunities.

So, yeah...

When your workforce is disposable and cash squirts out of the ground, yeah, yay capitalism!!! if you're the right category of person, I guess.
>>I don't think I did. And no, it wasn't for a class. Please be more considered before throwing out accusations of academic misconduct.

>Please throw all of my comment into whatever LLM you used to respond [...]

And there goes your credibility. At least give strangers the benefit of politeness, rather than making a fool out of yourself.
I just hope they thoroughly test Cosmic with Orca, people usually don't think about accessibility (a11y) until they need it and that's a shame.
Every time I see an LLM demo, I'm blown away. Every time I use one for myself, I feel like a fool.

I say this because the scraper demo bit looks very neat, but I've been down this path before and I don't want to waste my time getting bad or deceptively incorrect results.
> A Reuters investigation has found that Foxconn has systematically excluded married women from jobs at its main India iPhone assembly plant, on the grounds they have more family responsibilities than their unmarried counterparts.

This is how you tank your economy through population crash and get a loneliness epidemic as a gift. You punish people for having a family, they stop bothering marrying and having children, or delay it until is too late. Government should crack down hard on companies that discriminate against people with children or in fertile age bracket.
I feel like that is due to physical constraints (are glass panes weaker at the corners?) than actual design-to-be-pleasing-to-look-at.
Yep, SIMD seems to win the race vs SMT for that type of processing.
So just to be clear: let's have a constructive discussion on the internet by assuming bad faith. Let me know how that goes for you. I'll stick to assuming ignorance, and await evidence to the contrary.

>Americans already install alternative messengers on Apple and always have.

Americans in Europe like you, or Americans in the US? Because for the latter, the statists would disagree, as in most use iPhones and just default to iMessage.

Linguistics isn't thought. I believe the author is specifically talking about a latent representation of conversation.
> Macs, iPhones, and iPads will all let you complete the setup process without signing in, though you do have to know which buttons to click

IME it's very difficult, and for intents and purposes here from a user perspective, it is the exact same thing. Further we've found it's also impossible to create an account without handing over credit card details. Please call it what it is instead of wringing your hands - dark patterns.
> a convenient system-wide replacement for the frame limiter in RTSS

My budget gaming PC is still on Windows and RTSS is a lifesaver: I couldn't stream or record some games with my Intel Arc A580 otherwise, since titles that use DX11 or older rendering technologies typically have worse performance than the more recent ones, ergo I have to stream/record at 30 and cap the framerate anywhere between 30-60 depending on the title, otherwise things get unstable.

Of course, it's not ideal, but is at least workable. A bit odd that the card struggles with games like Ghost Recon Wildlands (DX11, 2017), but not Ghost Recon Breakpoint (Vulkan, 2019) or ones that use DX12 etc. Either that, or when there's a title that's badly coded and doesn't lock framerate properly to the screen refresh rate.

Aside from that, around 90% of the 500ish Steam games I have would actually run on Linux (various indie titles, mostly), at least according to ProtonDB: https://www.protondb.com which is pretty nice to see, except for the fact that last I checked something like GOG doesn't run on Linux natively, though thankfully something like Lutris exists.
And you thought that avoiding crappy ai-generated books was already difficult!
Yeah but does it solves conflict for you?
Nobody is ever “forced to collaborate”: Collaboration as a concept isn’t coherent if it’s ultimately involuntary.
Yeah might be. I was only referring to the comment from the top about apple being "anti-poor" when there are other, more affordable options. But too late to recover from that haha.

I agree about tackling market dynamics though. Anti-competitive behaviour is a shitty thing independent of economic standing.
The problem for me (not parent) is that it is distracting to the point where I gave up reading the article. I have ADD, and it just made it impossible for me to focus on the content, which is unrelated to whether or not I may find it amusing as an idea.

Edit: and yes, I could've used Reader Mode of course, but I didn't think of it at the time.
> The driving force was software management and focus on velocity of change

That might have been the motivation for some at the beginning, but the reason cloud-only is now dominant is the SaaS + lock-in model that guarantees recurring revenue for the software company.
I have been running an AMD system on Linux Mint for several years, and it has been fantastic. The only things that don't work in general are games with invasive anti cheat.
With this topic I think there should be a bigger thought framework at play. What about file formats? User data and settings import/export? Telemetry (also the useful type)? How should monetization/pro features be added? There are good answers to these, but views are scattered. The calling signs are too scoped: local first, selfhosted, open source, "fair software". The software industry is in need of a new GNU Manifesto.
I'm pretty sure that only Apple is desperate enough to solder storage. I've never heard of any other laptop or desktop with soldered storage (although please correct me if I'm wrong; I'd love to know what brands to avoid).
Or people had a different experience from yours. Is that really so unbelievable that it’s better to think everyone is as traumatized as you but they literally just don’t care about their children? Sorry but that’s completely absurd.
This conversation exemplifies every positive interaction I've ever had with any of my really good advisors or bosses. It's exactly what I want from my boss - to be told "that good, but not quite good enough, and I know you can do better even if you don't know it yet".

And then I go off and think some more and outdo myself.
My understanding was the Slack only allowed you to access X days back of content on a free plan (this page seems to indicate it was 90 days?). IIRC that’s a change (happened a while back) from when they used to allow access to the last 10K messages (which of course meant your time-based access depended on the number of messages you sent).

On the surface this just looks like Slack saying “we used to keep everything in case you upgraded but now we just keep a year back”.

Functionally it’s no different if you never planned on paying. If you did plan on paying then now you won’t get all your messages from the past back, just a year.

Have I misunderstood this?

Show HN: Offline-first note-taking web application
Hi HN!

Cryptaa is an offline-first note taking web application that focuses on speed and security. I've been working on it for a few months, and decided to show it as I think it is good enough for daily usage (I've been dogfooding it).

I had a few "simple" requirements for my application:

- Manual data encryption & decryption: I'm not overly paranoid about data security/data breaching, but sometimes, I do want my data to be stored securely (login credentials or credit card numbers). If I really need the functionality, I can encrypt the text on another website, then paste it to the application. It is not the best UX, however.

- Speed: it should feel fast/snappy enough (if you definitely want a number, maybe it is less than 100ms).

- Many devices (at least mobile/Android and desktop/Linux) data synchronization: I have an Android phone, and two Linux desktops, and want to have the same data between them.

- Web version: I don't like installing new applications whether it's on my phone nor my computer.

It surprised me as I found nothing that ticks all the boxes, so I decided to build Cryptaa. The technical stack is Svelte/SvelteKit, XState, and Triplit. The source code is available at https://github.com/thanhnguyen2187/cryptaa.

Please let me know if you find the application useful or have any question/suggestion!

Thanks!
Place them just right and you can use the leaks as thrust for station keeping. Not a bug - it's a feature!
I will not define Jobs as narcissistic (thinking on himself). Quite the opposite, Jobs was focussing on what people needed, and he was right: People needed rounded corners way more than ovals.

Jobs was obsessed with the customer experience and that was what made him a great CEO.

Did he cared more about the product or the customer than his own people? This is something that you should ask the people that worked with him.
My anedoctical experience is that Assange detractors are mostly restricted to US and some countries that are its closer allies. Here in Brazil I would find hard finding someone with negative views about him. Between informed people that knows about him, he is a hero that exposed the truth and an example of US hipocrisy concerning free press and human rights.
“Namely it paves way for Farage to be PM.”

This is very much a minority opinion.

Yes I use MangoHUD and it’s pretty good! It’s not quite as seamless as RTSS, though. MH is a bit fussy about which graphics API you’re using, and can’t be applied system-wide (afaik) without going through that 3rd party (open-source) UI. Plus, even when it’s applied and working, it doesn’t seem to solve my Sunshine frame-pacing issues, which for me is the main use case (the physically attached monitor is VRR so I don’t need limiting locally). Great project though!

I think I’m also a bit spoiled by the Steam Deck, where it’s so easy to set and change custom limits. I kind of just want that, for Pop, ha.

https://remotestorage.io/ was a protocol intended for this.

IIRC the visison was that all applications could implement this and you could provide that application with your remotestorage URL, which you could self host.

I looked into this some time ago as I was fed up with WebDAV being the only viable open protocol for file shares/synchronization (especially after hosting my own NextCloud instance, which OOMed because the XML blobs for a large folder it wanted to create as a response used too much memory) and found it through this gist [0] which was a statement about Flock [1] shutting down.

It looks like a cool and not that complex protocol, but all the implementations seem to be unmaintained.

And the official javascript client [2] seems to be ironically be used mostly to access Google Drive or DropBox

Remotestorage also has an internet draft https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-dejong-remotestorage/ which is relatively easy to understand and not very long.

Also, I remember reading when I was young that NOFX quickly abandonned the "drugs/alcohol/sex" ethos and become quite healthy people despite having the opposite branding.

I have no idea if is true or not.
It’s a tad ironic, that Assange has quite many links with pro ruzzian information bubble.

For a person in his position - he must’ve been very naive to have a show on ruzzia today.

Why is it okay for Office to include Word, Excel, or PowerPoint but not a chat application? Does the EU get to decide what is reasonably considered part of a productivity suite? Or is the only requirement that a competitor complains?

I initially started with Ubuntu to run the curated Desktop tools in DHH's new omakub.org but Wayland was broken in Ubuntu, Network Manager would frequently hit 100% CPU freezing the OS and it didn't wake from suspend.

Considered Pop!_OS but they're running an older version of Ubuntu and are in the middle of transitioning to their new Rust Cosmic Desktop which I figured would be immature at launch.

I ended up going with Fedora as IMO it was the more bleeding edge with new software, e.g. Wayland by default and their new Atomic Desktops look like they could be the future.
Julian Assange reminds me of Martin Luther. Both men struck a devil's bargain with autocrats because they feared persecution by a powerful empire, and in doing so, they sacrificed the more utopian elements of their political/religious project.

Thinking fast and slow by Daniel Kahneman will help you understand why many of the technical decisions you are making are going wrong.
Appealing to different tastes is far from trolling.
I agree with you on that. I dislike the partisanship that was demonstrated (even if coerced).

However, for me, personal feelings about him should not matter in this case. It's a question of how our society treats people that expose bad actors. He's a flawed human being like every other one, but what he did was not wrong even if deemed illegal (by the justice system from the exposed party, who would've guessed).
Is people knowing more truthful facts to you considered “rigging an election”?
