Personally the only laptop I’d be interested in that isn’t a MacBook is the Framework 13 pro but those ram prices are rough.

I personally really hate web apps and would rather have native apps for everything. Even some apps that feel off UI wise I find annoying but better than website. And yes I’m an Apple/Gnome user so I guess that makes sense…
How do you see downvotes? Is it a feature of your app?
Edit nvm I guess I never even checked to see if that was an option lmao

Linux@lemmy.ml•The First Open-Source Firmware Released For Modern AMD Ryzen AM5 PlatformEnglish
2·1 month agoAh thanks, so this is essentially another step in having the full chain open source, that’s pretty cool.

Linux@lemmy.ml•The First Open-Source Firmware Released For Modern AMD Ryzen AM5 PlatformEnglish
8·1 month agoOpen source firmware seems good from a security perspective, motherboard manufacturers seem to really suck balls. Could someone more knowledgeable about core boot explain it a bit to me if they’re willing? I don’t know too much about it besides I think I remember hearing framework uses it?
Yep precisely this
If you want stable and can deal with the downsides honestly I suggest immutable distros. Otherwise Fedora is pretty reasonably stable for a pretty up to date distro and also has decent community support which is underrated. If your drive(s) are setup for it it’s pretty easy to distro hop anyways so it’s worth a shot

Technology@lemmy.world•Gabe Newell on Steam monopoly accusations: Gamers have 'enormous choice' about where to buy gamesEnglish
81·3 months agoWasn’t there some ado about them getting a native Linux client soonish? https://www.xda-developers.com/gog-has-already-started-working-on-linux-gaming-as-it-says-theyre-a-big-fan-of-the-os/
My issue is of course that I hate having two launchers but yeah gog does seem ideologically superior… for now.

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft builds its ultimate MacBook Pro rival with the NVIDIA powered Surface Laptop UltraEnglish
3·3 months agoYou’re only saying too powerful because of the price I’m assuming? For me if this was in a 14inch chassis, it’d meet most of my checkboxes, especially if it has half decent gaming performance. Don’t know how good fex is though.

5·3 months agoWindows no, linux maybe. 15 inches is too big though.
I wish they’d fucking approve zed at work. Stuck with the shitty excuse of vscode. Also powershell sucks ass.

Linux@lemmy.ml•It seems Linux Mint is dropping GNU coreutils in favor of rust-coreutils following Ubuntu.English
0·4 months agoAh yes the programmer who knows lots about psychology with his PhD or PsyD wrote a book about something that makes no sense in this context (the use of the word neurotype unless that’s your doing) must surely know what he’s talking about. As everyone knows if you write a book then it’s true. Seems like you’re just using the book as a convenient way to prop up your bias and stereotypes. Truly I suggest some introspection on the things you’re saying. I’ll bet you have some image of what I look like in your mind and it’d probably be absolutely shattered were you to know what I do look like. Maybe go and actually meet some people who happen to like rust and realize that not everybody whose likes one programming language or another makes it their whole personality. This is like saying someone who prefers using hammers and nails over screws and screwdrivers has a different neurotype. Genuinely weird commentary from you.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Booting to Steam Big Picture under certain conditionsEnglish
2·4 months agoI might try that, the only issue is having it pop up on the right display, since my main desktop monitor I set as the primary. Presumably will need to script that anyway

Linux@lemmy.ml•Booting to Steam Big Picture under certain conditionsEnglish
2·4 months agoI’ll probably have to look at the docs but does xrandr assign something like a uuid to displays? I do remember having to set a display manually for one game for Wayland so it launched on the right monitor but I thought I had some issues with the numerical order moving around for some reason. Presumably I’d also want a kvm or something to start the pc from my living room as well and just plug or unplug from the tv itself?

science@lemmy.world•People who are blind from birth never develop schizophreniaEnglish
10·4 months agoI’m not sure how that’s relevant lol and that’s extremely vague. Nor was my comment a joke. I can 100% say all the research I did do was out of curiosity and now cynicism or spite as you say. Nor are any of the poorly paid many roommate having PhD students that I know doing it for cynicism as you claim. So I implied that only someone who’s never done research would make such a baseless and ludicrous claim. That’s like all the career researchers have is curiosity and drive for discovery. In sure there are some driven by greed to patent something, or cynicism, or other personal gain but that’s far from the norm.

0·4 months agoAh yes a programming language determines the mental state and acuity of the person using it. This might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever read in my entire life. Are you sure you aren’t the one we need to test with such ludicrous ideas?






Um don’t they know that the jester is the one in the court who tells the truth?
