Yeah, that sounds like the age old “why so many desktops (or other apps)” debate. Because we can. Because doing new things is fun. Because this isn’t all about being effective and capitalist logic.

4·11 days agoYou have checked Krita? I’m not doing much so it’s more than enough for me.
Is it easy to get NVIDA drivers, Vulkan, Cuda etc in Debian? I somehow thought that was kind finicky, not sure why …
Can confirm that the Razer BIOS is absolutely bar bones. Never really minded that and as I said aside of the non-working speakers (apparently a known problem with Razer) it was all good.
I’ve used a Razer Blade 16 last year and could never get the speakers to work no matter what I tried. Tested quite a few distros (Mint, Manjaro, Debian) and ultimately settled on Fedora. Didn’t mind the speakers not working much since I used Bluetooth speakers/headphones mostly anyway. Other then that Fedora worked prefectly.
Not much new for me, already on Plasma 6.2 with Kinoite, but there seems to be an alternative to rpm-ostree coming up (not sure if/why it’s needed/better but if I don’t have to remember when it is “rpm-ostree” and when it’s “ostree” in cli I’m all for it 😸):
1·20 days agoYeah, making that G capital really makes it look like a C, amazing job 🤦♀️
Ah, ok. Very nice!
Intro-skipping is build-in now? Did I get this right? I thought they decided against it?
And it doesn’t seem to have any consequences anyway, since in capitalism you can get away with anything if you’re rich and they know that.
Also Blender = Nvidia (judging by Blenderbenchmarks, never had an Amd card so can’t compare in praxis …)
I can’t believe that there’s actually finally some good news in all this horror that has been the last years. Can this be true?
3·1 month agoI’m running two servers in two different locations on two i5 NUCs with USB-attached HDDs (blasphemy, I know) for storage and lots of Docker services. Its not super fast (e.g. Jellyfin) but good enough for me.
Check the manual (online if you don’t have one). Usually you longpress a (touch)button on the earbuds to get them into pairing-mode, then add them as a new Bluetooth device on your OS.
This is part of how to keep us docile, though isn’t it? Give us stories about all that’s evil in the world again and again and at some point we’ll all go: “Well, yeah. Meh.”
3·1 month agoYou’ll have to check on torrent or dl sites that might have the type of content you want (or be more specific here). E.g. I think Audiobookbay has a forum where you can request stuff.
There’s also tonnes of custom CSS stuff people are doimg for the web view, I think. E.g.:
Seems like lots of cool changes but not sure about this:
Also, if a moderator decision targets your account specifically, you will now receive an in-app notification so you can’t miss it.
Does this mean you get notified of a instance blocks your account? Not sure if that’s a smart idea …
3·1 month agoNetdata is far simpler to set up than Grafana from what I remember but it does phone home by default (you can disable it in via options in docker or something). On one of my servers it doesn’t show container names which is kinda a bummer but I didn’t care enough to troubleshoot that, since I mostly ssh in and use btop anyway …
Insert “Can’t spell Threads without ads” joke here.
