Flatpak Help Needed
  • I've not tried GPT4ALL but Ollama combined with Open WebUI is really great for selfhosted LLMs and can run with podman. I'm running Bazzite too and this is what I do.

  • MSI Laptop fan Control
  • I see there is an m.2 slot too with what looks to be a Kingston SSD.

    I'm still confused what era this laptop is from. It might be a SATA m.2.

  • Domino's or Pizza Hut?
  • I got a pizza steel and it's been a game changer. Now I make full sized pizzas at home and they are delicious.

  • Valve Engineer Mike Blumenkrantz Hoping To Accelerate Wayland Protocol Development
  • Wayland was subject to "first mover disadvantage" for a long time. Why be the first to switch and have to solve all the problems? Instead be last and everyone else will do the hard work for you.

    But without big players moving to it those issues never get fixed. And users rightly should not be forced to migrate to a broken system that isn't ready. People just want a system that works right?

    Eventually someone had to decide it was 'good enough' and try an industry wide push to move away from a hybrid approach that wastes developer time and confuses users.

  • Marques Brownlee says ‘I hear you’ after fans criticize his new wallpaper app
  • Back in the day people paid for ringtones, wallpapers, etc. Dumbest thing ever were 'ringbacks' where you paid to have a song or something play when people called you. So the people buying it didn't even hear it, they just forced other people to listen to a shitty low fidelity garbled mess of a song they liked while you waited for them to pick up the phone.

  • Marques Brownlee says ‘I hear you’ after fans criticize his new wallpaper app
  • It's kind of a paradox when you think about it. Good reviewers are often just regular people with a passion for tech but as they become more popular and prolific they become part of the industry itself. Once that happens even if they try to stay objective and critical their perspective is so different from regular people that reviews are just part of the sales and marketing strategy rather than pro tips from an enthusiast.

  • NIST proposes barring some of the most nonsensical password rules
  • My career as a sysadmin consistently has me veering toward security and compliance and my brain is absolutely fried on trying to figure out what these huge docs actually mean, how they apply to the things I'm responsible for and what we're supposed to do about it.

    Props to all the folks that can do it without losing their mind.

  • All Proton Drive apps are now open source
  • Feels like this would be a bigger win for them than a lot of other companies. The people interested in privacy focused alternative to the Google/Microsoft/Apple offerings probably have a lot of overlap with Linux users.

  • Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code
  • Their mom's basement, most likely.

  • efficient game design rule
  • As a sysadmin there are few things that give me more problems than unbounded growth and timezones.

  • Beware of security risks!
  • Right in the middle of Berlin.

  • The new Flappy Bird game has a hidden secret: crypto
  • In their defense many people are exceptionally dumb.

  • Domain Renewal
  • Can someone please validate my decision to pay $23 a year for this dumb corndog.social domain just so I had something fun for my Lemmy instance.

  • Pop!_OS 24.04 and new COSMIC desktop hit alpha • The Register
  • Do you think it will be long before COSMIC is available outside Pop_OS? I love Pop_OS but I've started running Bazzite with GNOME/Pop Shell but I know that'll get left behind once COSMIC gets a full release.

  • This might not be too far off
  • The joke is that the more right angles a shape has the funnier it is.

  • An economic lesson...
  • It really seems like you're trying to blame people in poverty for being in poverty and that if only they'd follow these simple steps they wouldn't be poor so clearly it must be their own fault for not educating themselves. It's so simple and easy, just don't doordash your avocado toast and put some money in your 401k!

    Poverty begets poverty. It's not a personal failing. People can't make a home cooked meal after a 12 hour shift on minimum wage. People can't just decide to not take on credit card debt when their car they can barely afford needs maintenance because it's the only way they can get to work every day to make enough money to keep barely scraping by. Systemic issues trap people in a cycle that literally destroys their bodies and minds.

  • Steam Families is here
  • It's fixed now. But flatpak steam on gnome/Wayland would display a black screen on the store when opted into the family beta for a while. Stable was unaffected.

  • An economic lesson...
  • You're not wrong but generally it's very difficult for anyone to develop financial literacy unless they already have financial stability. Real hard to learn about the details of contributing to a Roth when you are already struggling to meet basic needs.

  • 75% of all PS5 owners prefer Performance Mode according to PlayStation
  • People think that frame rate isn't very noticeable until you give them access to a toggle that lets them double it.

  • Miss me with that doomer shit
  • Nihilism is for suckers. I'm going to make the world a better place and have some fun along the way too.
