I’d say it depends if you are a technical user or not.

Yeah, my first question when I saw the title was “how do you even gather this data?”. It’s actually pretty cool as steam probably has rather reliable data in its own niche.

Oh yeah, so I’m that other kind of guy 🥺

I kinda like your idea, but I think it can be difficult to detect some confusing situations. I think it would be a better idea, but I don’t think it’s a full replacement.

I don’t have an opinion on the topic but I see a blind spot in your argument, so I have to be that kind of person … 🥺

One could use the exact same example to argue that humans are very bad at parsing code (especially if whitespace kicks in). In that regard a tool that allows them to reason on a standardized representation of the AST can be a protection against a whole class of attacks.

Maybe with zRAM and a bit of swap it could run quite ok 🤷

But the future is inevitable, isn’t it better to be less pessimistic and attempt to be prepared for it instead of just waiting?

It’s not like I hate it but it felt like a review target for a specific audience and with little journalistic work. I was a bit disappointed because he is often refered to be one of the most serious and unbiaised tech reviewers on the internet.

But yeah, that was a first impression indeed.

I think there was some ethical drama in his company a while ago, which might have been recently answered 🤷‍♂️

I personally didn’t like the very few videos I saw of him, it looked like g@mer consumerist obsessions. The latest I saw was about the last Fairphone release and he was very critical about what I’d call very reasonable design choices, like capping the screen to 60Hz instead of max 90 by default, or having to turn the phone off to swap SD card. This video felt like it was not an honest criticism or intended to a very niche audience (eg. hot swapping SD cards might be critical in the eyes of someone producing video content).

Although shaming newcomers for their distro choice is not a welcoming move 💢

😢

I don’t believe it either, I think they said it wouldn’t arrive before 2025 :/

But I want it soooo much, the OLED version looks awesome but it’s no an upgrade big enough to justify getting rid of my original version

Could it mean Steam Deck 2 already? 🤞

Yeah, I suppose OP is from the US ?

Although it depends of the backup format :

• If you store compressed tarballs they won’t be of any benefits.
• If you copy whole directory as is, the filesystem-level compression and ability to deduplicate data (eg. with duperemove) are likely to save A LOT of storage (I’d bet on a 3 times reduction).

Didn’t GNOME support Wayland way earlier than KDE ?

That’s what saved me too but I’m still stuck with unpredictable crashes, 150GB of HDD / 8GB of RAM lost in the void and bullshit ads for copilot in the lock screen …

Thanks for the background, as a very recent nix adopter this drama seems like a lot 😥

But on Linux aren’t most drivers part of the kernel?

As some others mentioned it depends on context. My project managers do a lot of shit I don’t want to do : handling budgets, discussing project scope with clients, handling authorization request to external APIs (I’m in a big company) and also most PO stuff (writing tickets and handling sprint ceremonies).

Sometime they are a bit annoying because they freak out about deadlines and ask question every 10min while you try to focus and actually solve the bug, but at least they are self aware that it is because they feel helpless in this kind of situation 😛

Also, more about the proxy thing, sometime I have to explain technical things that simplifies and then they will probably explain it again to clients with a second layer of simplification. But I usually never hear about this again, which probably means that they manage to reassure client and maybe add a bit of bullshit on parts that don’t really mater, which spares me a lot of time overall.

I see a lot of people saying that your managers are bad managers, but I think your organization also put them in a badly defined role.

Yeah, people who built those modern technologies are mostly over 50, I suppose.

I haven’t use Rust for a while but I think this Mutex::clear_poison was particularly missing :D
