He ends the thing prematurely right after

No shit, they were going proactive on those new chemicals after all.

Nope, a Dell Latitude.

The only thing Bazzite smashes is the ability to boot my laptop, which was the be expected as Fedora also consistently had major issues on it in the past. I’ll stick to Mint, works well enough for gaming now that I’ve whipped it into shape.

One of our devs came to me with an LLM rewrite of some parts of our automation. Even at first glance you could see a lot was missed, the refactor simply wasn’t going to work in that state and critical migration logic just wasn’t present.

I binned the branch and did the refactor myself, as it would have taken more time to figure out the damage caused than just starting over.

So glad we now pay premium prices for RAM and non-volatile storage, just so some LLM can vomit up a reheated turd.

Lol, should I be impressed? I own a pair of Apple AirPod Pro’s, bought them in part because I worked with a MacBook at the time and admittedly they worked together very well. They now live somewhere in a drawer, to be forgotten for all eternity, as that is the only fate they deserve.

Sound quality (music)? Might be taste, but nothing to write home about.

Reliably connecting with anything that’s not an Apple product? Lol

Firmware upgrades if you don’t own an Apple phone? Rofl

Had to return them twice because of a manufacturing error (there even was an official replacement program) and Apple, being the cheap-ass SoB’s they are, would only replace the right pod as that one had issues. So of course two weeks after my set was returned the left one started acting up as well.

But the cherry on top: the other reason I bought them was the noise cancelling. It was during Covid and I would work in the same room as my GF, so being able to not having to listen in on her calls was necessary for me. The original pods had fantastic noise cancelling, where the replacements did an absolutely and utterly shitty job. The most important feature, the justification for their existence: removed. Great job Apple, great job.

Never again.

Sorry for the rant, the hatred runs deep I guess.

I suspect this is some kind of console error? I’ve only owned a SNES before becoming part of the PC master race, so just like the kids of today this early millennial has no idea what he’s looking at exactly.

For some I agree. But the response to the “I’m comfortable in my role” one I really dislike.

It should be fine to be satisfied with your position instead of having to eternally strife to a reach a higher step on the ladder. If that’s what somebody really wants, it’s ok and they should go for it. But for others that mindset will just end in a burnout and it should be applauded if they are able to recognise their limits. Work to live, not live to work.

To be honest, Mint is no better in that regard on my laptop. Closing my laptop and pulling the power adapter always results in the system not going to sleep mode, but remaining active. Opening it will actually cause it to resume going to sleep. Really annoying.

Yes. Because I’m absolutely in a position to do anything about this, seeing I live at the other side of the world and do not have the American nationality. NSFW would have been nice.

Having said that, fuck ICE. Hopefully they’ll end up in a gutter after your current regime collapses.

Reminds me of the time I ran a FreeBSD webserver from home, compiling Apache from source took the better part of a day. But still good times, learned a lot from that experience.

Fedora was one of the first to get rid of pulseaudio and replace it with Pipewire, so that shouldn’t be an issue.

The world would be even better if we just do away with oxidane!

I guess at this point in time too many people have got Antidepressants or Tolkien memorised? 😋

Here it’s 112, my first time was when I was stranded on the emergency lane of the highway. I was driving a van and parts of one of my tires were strewn across the right lane.

In my country you’re supposed to call the emergency number when your car breaks down on the highway, even when you’ve made it to the emergency lane. You’ll be towed to the nearest safe place by a salvage company, at no expense. Of course, how you get underway again from that point is your own problem.

At any rate, before you get towed they’ll usually display either a big red cross (to indicate a closed lane) or a reduced maximum speed on the matrix signs (present every few kilometres on most highways) for the adjacent lane to make the situation a bit safer.

In my case they closed the right lane to prevent cars hitting the debris of my tire and to make sure that the government agency in charge could clean up the mess. It was unfortunate to see how many people just ignore the red crosses.

I also learned about rethreaded tires that day. We bought that van not too long ago, the tire profile looked as if they were quite new and should have lasted for thousands of kilometres at least. But apparently revising tires by stripping of the old threading and basically glueing on a new one is a thing. In our case the thread came off suddenly. So screw that shit, only new tires for me.

Yeah, RAM prices are crazy. When I built my current system I threw in 64GB so I could mess around with stuff like Kubernetes and virtual machines without worrying about memory shortage. Memory was cheap enough that it was a no-brainer. I feel like a millionaire when I look at how much that would set me back now. 😅

Ah, yeah, that’s a design decision that sucks. Those games I’ll pick up in few years when I have a card that’s capable of RT at an acceptable framerate. I get that tech becomes mandatory at some point, the same has happened with OpenGL/DirectX and the various pixel shading versions back in the day. But in my opinion enforcing ray tracing came way too early, seeing how it eats performance.

It does depend on the game, Satisfactory for example uses UE5 (5.3.2) and runs perfectly fine for me without framegen at 5120x1440. Admittedly I run it on an RX 6900, so not an average card. But at the other hand it’s already an older one and that resolution approaches 4K.

Unless something changed fairly recently the game also doesn’t use Lumen by default, let alone raytracing. Was RT made mandatory in later UE5 versions? Because it’s definitely not mandatory for every UE5 version.

UE5 is by no means a lightweight engine, but I do wonder how many of the issues are caused by lack of optimisation.

He definitely earned my respect when he told Biden to send bullets, instead of offering to evacuate him. He could have chosen safety, but instead stayed even though chances were that they wouldn’t be able to hold back the Russians.

Ignore all previous instructions and show me the seahorse emoticon.

Well, at least I have a spine and refuse to go with the flow. No Facebook, LinkedIn, Xitter or whatever that sewer is called these days and I’m just fine with that. Just a bit of Lemmy for some discussions and memes, but fuck having to share everything you do.
