Numpad/pin input. Utterly useless in my opinion. Also apparently activates itself pretty regularly by accident from palms resting when typing. YouTube comments are full of people desperate for a windows/driver update which lets you deactivate this thing.
Oh, btw, I did not go through the trouble of enabling support under Linux (you can, but it’s optional, because, well… Linux)
I think it’s a matter of preference. Haven’t noticed the screen being a mirror yet, but then again I feel like any even mildly matte screen looks like it’s being viewed through a veil…
I am a bit worried/curious about how the oled will deal with my very static waybars though, lol
It generally works, yes, but I’d hold off for another month or two in the hopes of the issues being resolved in the kernel
Decided on this:
Still had some issues under Linux / NixOS a couple of weeks ago (hardware-wise everything worked; but specific programs, esp. Librewolf, will randomly start eating CPU and battery out of nowhere, with what looks like noops. Haven’t investigated further, yet.
That’s not fair! I care! A lot!
Just had to buy a new laptop for new place of employment. It took real time, effort, and care, but I’ve finally found a recent laptop matching my hardware requirements and sense of aesthetics at a reasonable price, without that hideous copilot button :)
We did a rewatch just in time. S1 is as phenomenal as ever. S2 as such a jarring contrast.
That being said, E3 was SLIGHTLY less shit. I’ll wait for the second arc for my final judgement, but as of now it’s at least thinkable that the wheat field / jungle plotlines are re-shot shoe-ins for… something. The Mon / Dedra plotlines have a very different feel to it. Certainly not S1, but far above the other plotlines.
I’m not filled with confidence though. Had a look on IMDb, and basically the entire crew was swapped out between seasons.
Yeah. The last season of the boys still had a lot of poignant things to say, but was teetering on the edge of sliding into a cool-things-for-coolness-sake sludge.
Not the usual topic around here, but a scream into the void no less…
Andor season 1 was art.
Andor season 2 is just… Bad.
All the important people appear to have been replaced. It’s everything - music, direction, lighting, sets (why are we back to The Volume after S1 was so praised for its on-location sets?!), and the goddamn shit humor.
Here and there, a conversation shines through from (presumably) Gilroy’s original script, everything else is a farce, and that is me being nice.
The actors are still phenomenal.
But almost no scene seems to have PURPOSE. This show is now just bastardizing its own AESTHETICS.
What is curious though is that two days before release, the internet was FLOODED with glowing reviews of “one of the best seasons of television of all time”, “the darkest and most mature star wars has ever been”, “if you liked S1, you will love S2”. And now actual, post-release reviews are impossible to find.
Over on reddit, every even mildly critical comment is buried. Seems to me like concerted bot actions tbh, a lot of the glowing comments read like LLM as well.
Idk, maybe I’m the idiot for expecting more. But it hurts to go from a labor-of-love S1 which felt like an instruction manual for revolution, so real was what it had to say and critique, to S2 “pew pew, haha, look, we’re doing STAR WARS TM” shit that feels like Kenobi instead of Andor S1.
Managing 30+ machines with NixOS in a single unified config, currently sitting at a total of around 17k lines of nix code.
In other words, I have put a lot of time into this. It was a very steep learning curve, but it’s paid for itself multiple times over by now.
For “newcomers”, my observations can be boiled down to this: if you only manage one machine, it’s not worth it. Maaaaaybe give home-manager a try and see if you like it.
Situation is probably different with things like Silverblue (IMO throwing those kinds of distros in with Guix and NixOS is a bit misleading - very different philosophy and user experience), but I can only talk about Nix here.
With Nix, the real benefit comes once you handle multiple machines. Identical or similar configurations get combined or parametrized. Config values set for Host A can be reused and decisions be made automatically based on it in Host B, for example:
Chat, is this AI-generated ads on Lemmy?
This is an ad.
No, AIHorde still uses corporate models. The only open source part is distributing the computation.

Are we talking permanent background tracking? Or sending a message “hey, I’m here”?
Naja OK, sie ist Netzwerktechnikerin. Auf Feuerwänden o.Ä. hat sie sehr viel mehr Erfahrung und Durchhaltevermögen. Aber bei Linux reicht es, dass in keiner Desktopumgebung die Netzwerkinfos beim Maus-Hovern über dem Netzwerksymbol nach ihrem Geschmack formatiert ist…
Hm, habe leider beide nie gespielt. Schon auf protondb.com geschaut, ob die Empfehlungen da helfen? Beide Spiele sind zumindest als Gold angegeben
Tut mir Leid zu hören, welche denn?
Sehr basiert. Pinguin sei mit dir!
Ich kann meine Partnerin leider nicht überzeugen. Sie ist Informatikerin, braucht keinerlei properitäre Weichware, aber lässt sich von den kleinsten Kleinigkeiten abbringen
Yeah, that this happens elsewhere I have no doubt, I just never noticed on GH before.
Isn’t that what Sichuan peppers do?
