flashgnash,

I’ve done it with vsc, haven’t used GH desktop do you use it alongside vsc or does it just do a similar thing?

flashgnash,

On a laptop absolutely. My firewall on my laptop doesn’t let me discriminate between networks so I’m always worried someone will try to attack me on public WiFi for the few ports I want open

On a desktop on a network you trust less important but still no firewall means if another device on your network gets compromised you’re screwed

flashgnash,

Steam deck go brrr

flashgnash,

I think at least in the anime, kaioken serves the exact same purpose as forms of just granting Goku a massive power boost to overcome a strong enemy and much like forms is more or less forgotten about once a newer shinier one comes around (until ssb kaioken much later on anyway)

flashgnash,

Was SS2 during android? Thought it was cell saga

flashgnash,

No that’s true actually, wouldn’t really count blue kaioken as a new form as it’s just a new way of using existing stuff though again serves the same purpose to the story

Haven’t seen GT yet so couldn’t comment there though ssj4 is absolutely the coolest looking transformation

flashgnash,

Ah didn’t realise they were counted as one

flashgnash,

I think that depends on what you consider an arc. I would consider the entire time they’re on namek the frieza saga

flashgnash,

Web browser works perfectly well, can even install sites as an app on mobile

flashgnash,

Think you can install a desktop environment on termux, there are guides online for that

Termux isn’t an emulator though, afaik it’s an actual distro that runs on your phone’s existing Linux kernel alongside android

Does Bing Chat give reliable answers to math and physics questions? If not is it possible to make it more reliable?

I realize and understand the criticisms of ChatGPT and I have personally seem how bad it can be. Once I asked to count the number of days till a random date giving the present date and it failed miserably, again and again. Trust me! I get the criticism. But, what about Bing Chat Bot?...

flashgnash,

They can definitely be made to work out arithmetic and similar though

If you were to say in the preprompt something like: When asked a mathematical question, please respond with the equations used to achieve the result

For example if you asked it what 3x4 is it could respond with “The answer is {3x4}” and then the {3x4} could be evaluated in software afterwards and dropped in for the user to see

I think that might be what chatGPT does now as they somewhat recently fixed it always getting maths wrong

Or alternatively you could ask it to simply write a script to work out whatever problem it’s given that isn’t linguistic and execute that in a sandboxed environment (though still might be too risky incase it generates some bad code)

flashgnash,

I’ve ended up on the arch wiki a few times on non-arch distros, it covers many generic Linux tools very well

flashgnash,

Was unaware UPSes even talked to the computers they power, thought they were just backup batteries

flashgnash,

Possibly a dumb question but what is an astroturfer?

flashgnash,

I started out running gnome, then got an extension called Forge which makes gnome into a pretty decent tiling WM, obviously it’s gnome so you hit a block if you want tons of customisation past the bog standard

Recently tried out qtile which was not a pleasant experience, if there’s an error in your config file the entire wm fails to start and it stopped NixOS from being able to hot reload config

I then tried hyprland which is absolutely gorgeous, and the config file is pretty simple and intuitive plus hot reload is a god send

TL;DR If you want a good enough tiler that just works out of the box and don’t care about customisation too much go gnome+forge

If you’re ok with spending a few days tinkering with your system and building it from the ground up go hyprland (I hear sway is very good too and more mature)

flashgnash,

I tried qtile, it was ok but kinda finicky with the config and if you break it the whole thing falls down

Also think it broke my NixOS rebuild switch so I had to reboot every time I changed the config

flashgnash,

You have free reign here why not just make all software have to be open source?

flashgnash,

If they can spend the money on something not necessary for the company it should be counted as their money I think

Companies get their own money separate from an individual but after a certain bracket they have to be audited by an impartial third party to make sure the money isn’t just being used for personal stuff

flashgnash,

You also get to grow hands out of your forearms

flashgnash,

May seem like an obvious one considering where we are but standards for communication apps

If everything uses a standard like activitypub/matrix and becomes cross compatible I don’t need to have 6 different messaging apps

Provided the standard is completely backwards compatible of course I think it would be awesome to just let people have their messaging app of choice and be able to talk to everyone else (I think there might actually be an EU regulation coming that enforces this for larger messaging apps)

flashgnash,

Spears are way harder to make a cool spectacle in fantasy though

Kinda reminds me of that scene in Indiana Jones where the guy is doing a load of flashy movements with his sword and he just gets shot in the face

flashgnash,

T is terminal for me, R would be to just run a single command in my top bar or something

flashgnash,

ThinkPad users not noticing the weight difference between their laptop and a fucking toastie maker

flashgnash,

I think the real question on all of our minds is which is better: JavaScript or megabytes

flashgnash,

I think hexbears are mostly edgy teens though, not sure they represent actual left wing parties

flashgnash,

p a f fn(){}

flashgnash,

Silly boomers, they already own all all your photos

flashgnash,

Why only 90% though? You’d think everyone would have a home if it’s government issued

flashgnash,

You got me there

flashgnash,

Steam box? You mean like steam machines?

Can’t seem to find anything other than steam machines from googling

flashgnash,

Steam link kinda sucks though compared to a wired connection

flashgnash,

Because the options are firefox, chrome, or chrome in a moustache and glasses

All of which I use because X thing doesn’t work on Y browser

flashgnash,

Would be funny if they’d built a Faraday cage around the bathroom to stop people sitting on the toilet on their phones for ages

flashgnash,

I’d make a scoreboard out of it, competitive shutting for both high and low scores

flashgnash,

Just because other launchers offer a better cut doesn’t make valve evil

Nobody is forcing game devs to use steam over epic, gog, itch etc

flashgnash,

Epic is I think one of my least favourite launchers, though heroic/legendary seems to do a better job

flashgnash,

Apple are making steps towards supporting windows games but it’s not there right now

Not much a launcher can do if the technology isn’t out there to run the games

flashgnash,

Out of curiosity what’s the reason to run games in a distrobox container instead of just running them in the host os?

flashgnash,

I’m using the proprietary drivers anyway, afaik Mesa still isn’t as performant as Nvidia is it?

Did we kill Linux's killer feature?

A few years ago we were able to upgrade everything (OS and Apps) using a single command. I remember this was something we boasted about when talking to Windows and Mac fans. It was such an amazing feature. Something that users of proprietary systems hadn’t even heard about. We had this on desktops before things like Apple’s...

flashgnash,

I get 99% of my packages via nix and the other 1% through appimages which I can put anywhere I like on my disk

flashgnash,

Wine in the morning is more mental illness than dramatic lol

Change my Mind! - I like the linux,but some things keeps me staying on Windows.

Recently, I switched from Windows to Linux, tried many distros, and ended up with the Ubuntu rolling-release. Things went well for some days, but I started facing some issues like printer issues, gaming performance issues, and overall Ubuntu performance issues. So, I switched to where it all started, which is Windows 10. Now...

flashgnash,

Pop!os and mint are the usual go-tos for easy windows-like experiences

I am however physically incapable of not recommending NixOS at any chance I get, it is by far the best experience I’ve had on Linux so far having tried a good number of distros (provided you have some knowledge of how config files work and don’t mind installing software through one)

flashgnash,

What internet points there’s no karma here

Why is 60fps a big deal for games?

My background is in telecommunications (the technical side of video production), so I know that 30fps is (or was?) considered the standard for a lot of video. TV and movies don’t seem choppy when I watch them, so why does doubling the frame rate seem to matter so much when it comes to games? Reviewers mention it constantly,...

flashgnash,

Try gaming on 30hz, then 60hz, then 120+ if you can and you will notice a dramatic difference

In a film or TV show response time doesn’t matter, and you don’t really need to see things that only pop up for a split second, in a game having a higher refresh rate can mean the difference between noticing an enemy and not

flashgnash,

Pssht imagine using an operating system and not simply manipulating the bits on your disk yourself
