Superman’s Pal Bitch

You can use the model yourself on your own hardware, offline, no Indians required.

Yes, but their suppliers aren’t, and I’d guess that the issues did not originally arise in the coffeeshops

Ah cool, that’s interesting.

SDL is kind of the equivalent to DirectX. It provides a standard interface for multimedia applications regardless of underlying mechanisms. Except the 3D acceleration part I think which is handled by OpenGL / Vulkan.

I hope Kent behaves, bcachefs is been working well for me on latest kernels and I’d hate to see it removed entirely.

The tooling needs some more love as well (e.g. there’s currently no rebalance) but I understand the focus on the kernel bits. Recently added a drive (or rather a decrypted partition) and everything went smooth. Other places are also suspiciously quiet about bugs, in a good way.

Realtime is not about being fast, it’s about time guarantees. It helps with or is required for workloads that require realtime, which I think includes audio production, but might also be helpful for things like controllers etc. where you need to make sure incoming data is processed in a guaranteed time or else fail. Browsing the web isn’t part of these, so an RT kernel will most likely be a hindrance.

Never doubt a hoofologist

This does raise some questions

Like… How does he breathe
And isn’t it like super shaky even in a broken ankle?
And where is his microscopic toilet?

The writers must have been on some serious shit

If smart people love libreoffice, then I must be dumb. Working with it always seems weird and I never like it.

Fortunately, I can use LaTeX for work; it is far from without issues but while being arcane sometimes (especially when tables are involved), it never really upsets me and the result looks very good. I can say neither for libreoffice or MS office. But at least the former doesn’t charge for the experience.

I hope typst gains more traction; it seems really intuitive compared to TeX and you don’t necessarily need a macro package. And while it doesn’t produce the quality of TeX-based systems yet, it is already good. Then again, Knuth’s goal first and foremost goal was quality (and it shows); the system just had to be usable by him.

These people are so boring. No original thought. Bring back manliness wah wah wah. How about he bring back some old fashioned manliness by working in the factory all day and then go home and be quiet? Ah no of course not that kind of manliness.

So dull

How can he speak with his mouth closed?

I’m beginning to suspect that these comics aren’t rooted as deeply in reality as I thought

My opinion : far too many distros are « pet distros »

I think those are actually great. Personally wouldn’t use them for a prolonged time or anything critical. But I love the spirit, even if the distribution is of no use to me.

Thanks, so yes.

Is this relevant when using a login manager?

There’s no such thing as USB hotspots, that’s a term for WiFi. Also you can still use the NMC protocol if your Android version is recent enough. Just not RNDIS anymore. It’s an insecure Microsoft protocol, though this probably wouldn’t have mattered for a lot of people.

It’s not about improving a connection, but making your phone’s network connection available to other devices. USB tethering creates a network device at /dev/usb... that behaves like an any ordinary network device, allowing you to create a connection using it. Wi-Fi tethering creates a hotspot similar to what your router at home does.

That’s different protocols. This is only about the one being used when you share your phone’s connection via USB (tethering). Neither adb nor fastboot make use of this.

Also, starting with Android 14, there should be an alternative available with NCM.

You can also track the progress at https://nixpk.gs/pr-tracker.html?pr=367042, is already part of nixos-unstable-small at the time of writing, though this is probably not what a lot of people use. I’ll see when it hits nixos-unstable and let you know, but don’t know when I used my machine the coming days

I have opened a pull request at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/367042, there might be more changes needed as I had an error in the meta section of the package which I rectified according to the reviewers proposed changes. Not sure this is the end of it, but the request is open
