bitwolf,

Another potentially unintended but appreciated pun :)

bitwolf,

afaik software patents get awards based on the implementation details. So Sony could get a patent if they implemented this behavior in a novel way.

Although I do agree with you this is a basic feature in many games and that sold be recognized.

bitwolf,

With the rate at which Electron applications catch on? Nothing, you’ll end up using it all in a few years time.

bitwolf,

❤️ GTK and Gnome.

I swear the same people that complain about Gnome3+ also complain about Wayland.

Both projects put a lot of thought into their controversial decisions, they’re attempting to learn from their mistakes.

There comes a point where you need to adapt to change. And both these projects have proven their changes are beneficial.

bitwolf,

Really hoping AMD makes it easy to backport their OneSil efforts to current APUs.

Insyde has been pretty great on the Framework but their feedback loop is far too slow and has a bunch of Windows ACPI quirks holding it back.

How many of you run a Linux phone (Pine64, Librem etc) as your daily driver?

I was going through Pine64’s page again after I found the latest KDE announcement. With that said, I seem to see a lot of issues with firmware on the Pine, whilst the Librem is just plain out of budget for me. Was interested in how many people here run a Linux mobile as a daily driver, and how has your experience been?...

bitwolf,

Hopefully when RISCv gets there it won’t be so bad.

Now that manufacturers are getting called out for it they tend to follow the support cycle upstream. Now, much of it falls on the chip makers, Qualcomm specifically supports chips for 5 years iirc (and 8 years for their industrial chips).

If the manufacturers can achieve vertical integration, like Apple has, with RISCv I think we’ll see a lot more mainlined support from them.

bitwolf,

They should actually target Wayland. Since Wayland will be what supports HDR, VRR, and is what the Steam Deck and most distros use.

bitwolf,

Before they switched to the react-native version they had the modern Android keyboard animation.

I got excited when they refreshed the UI but they still haven’t added it back.

bitwolf,

Wait… Can you send me this job listing OP? 😅

bitwolf, (edited )

There’s an addon I use for the Android version that does this by default.

It does miss some queryparams though but it dramatically reduces the URL size for the big offending sites.

bitwolf,

Generally, most are variables prefixed with utm_

They likely built an index from most of the Analytics services also.

I read he moved back to Cali shortly after finishing the giga factory.

I Made Screen Brightness Control on Gnome Much Better (gitlab.gnome.org)

Anyone here struggle with trying to adjust brightness on Gnome in low light? At the low end, the steps are way too far apart, and at high brightness they’re almost imperceptible. Every other operating system uses a brightness curve that better matches human perception....

bitwolf,

I can see you’ve gotten some code review so I will just eagerly watch as this gets worked out and eventually merged.

I never had an issue with the backlight curve or lack thereof however a friend recently demoed a similar impl they put together for hyprland and it is a very nice change.

Looking forward to seeing it in the next Gnome release 🤞

bitwolf,

Iced and Floem are the ones I’m seeing used on larger rust only applications.

bitwolf,

Agreed! For something as controversial as making another new DE (RIP Unity 7), it’s coming along very nicely.

I can’t wait to try cosmic once it’s ready.

bitwolf,

It’s super easy to block the ad on outlook and get back the lost screen real estate (compared to Gmail). So I always appreciate that.

bitwolf,

I knew what they were but I am still not understanding the connection to WD40.

bitwolf,

Definitely Jekyll or Hugo on GitHub pages.

I use Ghost CMS because I wanted an easier mobile editing experience, it is also very low maintenance in its container form.

bitwolf,

Lmao I first read that as

Yet another Newly Jank ass Linux Distro

bitwolf,

Send it

bitwolf,

Well at that price I’d argue it’s pretty reasonable, comparable to a used Toyota.

The pick up trucks I see on sale are closer to 60-80k.

bitwolf,

I believe it comes from a saying that most wear is in the first ten minutes of driving.

Which I also believe assumes you don’t “wait for the car to warm up”

That saying. I still find some truth to it. While modern cars can adjust fuel mixture to different conditions. There still is an unavoidable few minutes where the engine runs in an open loop and wear is greater.

That said, in my vehicle when I listen for the engine to “close” it happens in less than 5 minutes.

bitwolf,

It is arguably the best way to name large sets of indexed files on a filesystem.

bitwolf,

Yes, YYYY/MM/DD

bitwolf,

In certain instances that may not always be available.

One example I can think of is when browsing on a NAS.

bitwolf,

Also Gnome Web still isn’t there yet, but it’s very close.

It struggles to perform well on many webpages.

bitwolf,

Tbf it’s not exactly made easy to completely remove chrome + Google from phones.

Even if you set Firefox as default, even with webview, some Google apps will call chrome anyway using the built in webview.

bitwolf,

Long term they will move to Firefox also.

Because people like us will continue to suggest they use Firefox as their “tech person”.

It’s just a little slower for the people that don’t care.

bitwolf,

The problem is that most people aren’t aware that shorts / stories are made to be addictive.

If you keep pointing out to your friends and family how much time / battery they waste watching them they may start to take action though.

bitwolf,

I have the same problem with YouTube! Between work + school I don’t have free time until 930/10, so I unwind watching documentaries on YouTube and it’s 2-3am before I know it :(

I recently ordered an EReader and if books can’t replace that YouTube urge I might have to go the same route as you and redirect myself after midnight.

I give myself a pass for Lemmy though. It’s not sucking me in, rather I open the site specifically for news for sites that don’t offer RSS feeds. (RSS helps a lot with eliminating the news -> distraction scenario)

bitwolf,

There is

  • OSS
  • FOSS
  • FLOSS

Don’t get excited about OSS it’s just a distribution model (and one that is popular for commercial start ups right now).

You’re looking for FLOSS.

bitwolf,

Nice to see Nvidia getting caught up finally. I switched but I have friends I have told to wait on Linux bc they use Nvidia

bitwolf,

Nvidia works on Wayland now. And in 6.6 the noveou will support reclocking on 2xxx+

Games also work fine under Wayland. Either with gamescope or kwin.

Mutter works well but they haven’t yet merged vrr support so you have to get that separately.

bitwolf,

I always interpreted that as a factor of the Plasma team being willing to offer compatibility for things that broke the freedesktop spec.

Whereas Gnome / Mutter for example appear to believe that if they don’t strictly follow spec it’ll perpetuate the fragmentation.

I tend to side with the latter perspective but use KDE + kwin on my desktop for gaming for Wayland + vrr (it’s amazing how smooth and responsive this is). Gnome really shines on the notebook form factor so I use it there.

bitwolf,

That is how portals work in Wayland.

For X there was only one protocol, so they all wrote for x.
This also allowed some hacky things to be done that are questionable from a security standpoint afaik.

bitwolf,

Playing through games opens great on my desktop but I lose the steam overlay so I just use Wayland proper.

bitwolf,

Just uninstall all the Nvidia stuff and reboot. It’s been great for me so far.

Linux will auto detect the hardware and load the proper modules at boot. I believe initrd does this.

This worked great for Intel -> AMD CPU also. I just removed the Intel microcode packages after I rebooted to save the disk space.

bitwolf,

Depending on how new your GPU is you should be able to try it on the newest Nvidia drivers. :)

You can select it from the login screen (not lock screen), usually it’s a gear icon near the “enter” button on the login screen. Or in the bottom right corner.

bitwolf,

There was a YouTube video with, I think action lab, where they tested this weapon on a smaller scale with sand castles.

The experiment failed overall because of the difficulty of aiming the payload and anticipating the correalis effect

bitwolf,

Yep that’s the channel. Thank you!

Video for those interested.

bitwolf,

Ahem

~/.config/kde

FTFY 🙂

bitwolf,

Ain’t that the truth.

Geary is so close to perfect but they depend on Gnome Online accounts which doesn’t support O365 so I can use it for everything but my university email.

bitwolf,

Thank goodness for Signal

bitwolf,

When you comment to Bluetooth, it asks your phone to share call, contact and SMS information.

Think like the old horrible text implementation, the ability to scan your contact list from the car, AMD see your recent calls.

bitwolf,

Since you cannot unlock the bootloader without going into the OS now, I prefer to leave it unlocked but stock.

That way, if the device ever cannot boot, I can at least Adb pull my data off the device from fastboot.

bitwolf,

Pretty.much pure gnome. The only thing I use is the auto night mode extension to make it go dark at sunset.

What's an alternative to Spotify that doesn't play you the same fucking songs over and over?

I am in an intense love-hate relationship with Spotify. It makes good mixes for me, I have found a lot of great bands that way. BUT IT KEEPS REGURGITATING THE SAME SONGS IN THERE. I know about Song Radios and Artist Radios, so please don’t recommend those. Smart Shuttle doesn’t cut it, either....

bitwolf,

I do it too, just with Plexamp.

The recommendations and radios on plexamp are amazing compared to any other service I’ve tried.
