The only problem with RSS is that it doesn’t work for many many news sources as well as niche interests.

The RSS feeds on most of my country’s news sources are literally a headline with a link to their website. Plus the ones that it does work for break multiple times per year (at least on feeder) so being able to actually fetch the article is a toss up. Right now even with freshly added feeds, 9 out of 10 are “cannot fetch full article”.

I find most people’s blogs rather boring and uninspired or extremely longwinded. I much prefer the kind of organic conversations from forums. Algorithms point me to the 4-5 pieces of content from people that I find interesting. I don’t often subscribe to them because their other content is not as interesting.

With RSS feeds I would have to manually search through hundreds of articles and blog posts just to find 3 that I might actually be interested in. For example the less niche Phoronix has like 20 articles per day that are essentially fluff article padding updates like “video acceleration improvements merged for Mesa 25”. Like I don’t care at all. But the LACT Intel support addition I would be interested in 10 articles down.

Yeah I played it halfway and it didn’t grip me like New Vegas and KOTOR2 did. The story just seemed pretty convoluted and meandering.

Gameplay was about as fun as NV though!

Opensuse unironically has some of the best OS branding and wallpapers. I like that little chameleon.

I use bazzite now but I liked all of the visuals of opensuse Kalpa better!

Honestly AI bidet weighing your shit and analyzing the consistency to indicate possible health problems would not be a horrible use for it. A shit ton of bodily functions rely on gut flora. Much more than previously thought.

In the *arr suite, bazarr has a plugin called Subgen which you can add and you can set it to generate subtitles on your entire library if you want, or only missing subtitles. The sync is spot on compared to 90% of what Opensubtitles delivers. I sometimes re-gen them with this plugin just because opensubtitles is so constantly out of sync (e.g. highly rated subtitles 4 lines will be at breakneck pace and the next 10 will be super slow and then everything is 3 seconds off)

It isn’t in-player but it works. The downside is it is a larger model and takes ~20 minutes to generate a movie length of subtitles.

Other opinion: I used that one for a few years and then it became unbootable, forever loading the login page with not an error in the logs (after multiple times of having to diagnose update failures in the past).

I found out that I personally didn’t need nextcloud after being completely unable to use it for months

I have tried openSUSE Kalpa for a few months and that would literally only boot 50-60% of the time due to not being able to mount volumes for some random unlogged reason, also RPM-ostree is better than the suse tool for it (from a layman’s perspective) and saving 10 or so system snapshots doesn’t make sense for my usecase because I would only notice something wrong from a bad update immediately or 4 months down the road lol.

Steam being natively installed is a big one too because flatpak steam is simply riddled with bugs and problems. I couldn’t even launch any game at all until I found a command buried not in opensuse’s documentation but another. I think I ran into 4-5 major issues before they were all found out via the web. Definitely not an experience most people would want.

Otherwise it is about the same except openSUSE had a high rate of updates silently failing with 2 RPM packages installed where bazzite has never failed.

I’ll be honest. It was a hell of a time getting things working correctly due to the lack of documentation, but now I have everything except scanning and document signing working which I rarely use anyway. (Rocket league runs fine, just with half the fps I should be getting) I literally don’t have to touch anything anymore, it will just keep itself updated and working completely hands-off. That is what I want out of a system now that tweaking and debugging is a distraction from my other hobbies rather than a hobby itself.

The biggest feature that I like is Linux without having any manual update intervention at all. It all just runs and updates itself and works.

If something goes wrong in my software, I can uninstall and reinstall the flatpak delete remaining files, and reinstall with 3 clicks instead of having to search for where the hell this specific program decided to stash its files and configs and cache on my system like I had to with a traditional system. It takes the recurring annoyances out and trades them with 1-time annoyances.

I can attest to this. I daily drive bazzite exclusively now.

Rocket league specifically only uses 40% of the GPU and 25% CPU and refuses to use any more at all. It is only a bazzite problem. Other distros are completely fine and other bazzite users have reported the same thing, regardless of settings, launch options, etc…

It is hell when trying to do embedded firmware development. Pretty much everything has to be done through distrobox related to it because JLink needs to be accessible by NRF connect which has to be accessible by VSCode, etc… vscode and oss versions simply don’t work if you have to install more than the very basic UI extensions.

Plus then you have udev rules that you have to manually place in the read only file system (recommended by a Bazzite maintainer on their discord) which they explicitly tell you never to do in the docs. There is absolutely nothing regarding JLink (the most widely used industry flashing tool for ARM) in any universalblue docs, even the bluefin and aurora versions “for developers”.

Also, there is absolutely no known way to handle eID credentials, crypto keys, etc in order to digitally sign documents. Also key management and access simply does not work at all in flatpak.

Network scanning simply doesn’t work at all (yes, saned is set up). It is completely nonfunctional, it can’t discover anything.

Outside of those cases though, it works fine. Themes work, font installation works as expected: the firewall, KiCAD, freeCAD work, browsers, media players, etc… All work fine. Distrobox, while start menu applications via distrobox sometimes simply don’t start, they often work fine. However, I haven’t had to worry about updating my system in 4 months because updates are in the background and completely seamless and not a single thing breaks during updates which by itself is the reason I switched from arch.

(Arch never became unbootable or seriously broken in 8 years, but I would have update problems and have to search for forum solutions to make a full update work every month or two)

32 bit embedded processors us a lot of 32 bit time, though i am not sure if date time libraries in SDKs have been updated to use 64 bit for time.

I don’t think I will buy another Nintendo console ever (unless they turn around) and will only buy 2nd hand games so Nintendo doesn’t get any money.

The sad thing is that Nintendo does make very good games and some of the only great party games left with a low skill entry level

Lol, I ran 5 years on arch without a break.

Now 6 months of Bazzite without a break.

I think the age of distros shipping severely broken updated is over. And it was always, ALWAYS grub that broke after an update on mint and opensuse 10 years ago for me.

This is what I need.

If you only need to drop files on the same LAN, then you really don’t need a server. P2P is perfect and cuts out the middle man.

Literally the 2nd post on !tech@programming.dev is about mega corporations financials. Many other posts are about legal cases of megacorporations.

It seems to be less about technology, and more about the market and software drama/politics.

At least no musk spam.

What? MX Linux is a Debian remix in the style of antiX I thought?

Not OP, but maybe because it is a survey from a Linux group and discord has treated Linux like 2nd class citizens since 2015 and they don’t give a flying fuck about making the experience as good on Linux as windows. It is an afterthought.

And it is not like they did anything special at all this year to warrant a “of the year” award. Discord has been out for almost a decade. That is like saying windows is OS of the year when they have done almost nothing but bad decisions this year and the OS is already been out for a long time.

Nice try FBI.

In all seriousness, matrix encrypted chat would be better.

Also in UT1999 right? It sits in my memory, but all my friends only played ut1999 until like 2012 lol.

I always seed the big ones, but sadly, rolling release distros outside of Arch and smaller distros have abandoned torrents because they change snapshots too frequently and/or don’t have the user mass to support it.
