“Archiving legally purchased content as an insurance against corporate-sanctioned theft”?

deleted by creator

We’re already past the “spreading awareness” stage. Now it’s time to do something about legally sanctioned robbery.

The fandom takes cosplay and immersion very seriously.

Sony is the biggest fucking security risk in this entire deal, what the fuck

Qtile was my first daily driver tiling WM. It was a pain in the ass to install, but it’s damn near as extensible as DWM (since the config file is literally a python program). The only thing I hate about it is that you can’t reposition windows in the tiling layout by drag-and-drop.

If touchpad gestures work, I’m putting that on my macbook air. That looks so comfortable.

Linus Torvalds and Kent Overstreet (the main developer of bcachefs) often argued on the Linux mailing list over adherence to long-standing practices when submitting pull requests. In the latest confrontation, Kent dropped this absolute clown shoes response:

If you’re so convinced you know best, I invite you to start writing your own filesystem. Go for it.

Narrated by Aussie Waylandman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07XjCGQpwpw&t=869s. I recommend watching the entire video, it’s very entertaining.

I think you and the bcachefs owner would be very good friends.

The reality is that, although there are quite a few standalone Wayland compositors, you don’t hear about most of them, because almost all of them suck in one way or another if you go beyond opening terminals.

Oh, fuck off! I can barely use Blender because dragging a spinner control does something with the cursor that makes Hyprland shit its pants. It’s been fixed and broken several times. May or may not be related: Vaxry has expressed his disdain for Blender in issue notes. (edit) found it: https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issues/3270

(edit2) I should also mention that Hyprland is the only compositor where this happens. KDE Plasma, Qtile-wayland, Sway, Wayfire are all fine.

Dude’s shilling for his own compositor backend right after ditching wlroots. He has zero credibility in this matter.

It’s because xbox’s naming scheme is fucking stupid.

It takes very little to sue a small project out of existence. It’s a risk they can’t take.

He’s also a contributor to Asahi Linux. One of his MRs changed the build options that somehow caused it to (IIRC) use mainline Mesa instead of the branch that is specifically modified to work on ARM.

It’s not only his fault, but mostly.

They’ve let TLS certs expire on multiple occasions. They’ve made the decision to enable the AUR in the default installation, which can cause conflicts with out-of-date dependencies because of the delayed release schedule compared to Arch. They’ve shipped software on their stable branch that included unmerged upstream code. One of their developers temporarily broke Asahi Linux.

I don’t hate the project, but I can’t trust the developers and management.

It’s all about trust. Manjaro has given me reasons to distrust them.

If I see Captain Anderson’s “NEED to KNOW BAsis” knife-hand animation, I’m going to shit.

I have an Xbox One controller. It worked well out of the box on my previous machine, but the current one somehow maps the buttons incorrectly when I connect with bluetooth. Installing the hid-xpadneo kernel module (xpadneo-dkms on the AUR), which is a driver specifically for Xbox controllers, fixed it completely.

It works flawlessly with everything I’ve tried, including emulators. The hardware is also extremely durable. It’s survived several drops over five years (bought it for Sekiro’s launch) and being mangled by a dog. The only disadvantage is the stupid fucking flimsy micro-USB port, but the newest Series models have USB-C. If you can, get a rechargeable battery pack and a charging dock.

If you care about repairability, it’s not the worst, but not particularly good either. Parts of the shell are held by plastic tabs that are easy to damage, the internals are all located on one PCB, and the wires to the haptic motors are soldered on.

That’s a fair point. I rarely read comments on news articles, but morbid curiosity overpowered my self-preservation instinct.

The comments under the article are a special kind of braindead.
