I've always thought it was interesting we have open source 3D printers but with how often 2D printers break and how expensive ink is no one has made an open source 2D printer. It's nice to see some progress in this field

I've never really understood the argument against headphone jacks. I can still use Bluetooth headphones with my phone. I can also use wired headphones and aux cables on my phone. Why would you want less features

Hmm this makes me wonder if the Steam Deck 2 will be ARM. If the Steam Frame works well, that could be a way for Valve to push more performance/battery life out of the deck

This. Even if you were going to run a bare metal server it's almost always nicer to install Proxmox and just have a single VM

My favorite part of the steam deck is how I didn't have to pay to "upgrade" the games I already own.

Oh and how I didn't have to buy my game library again

I just got a steam deck and I'm surprised how well it runs games. It's not quite as refined as a switch but it can run games were designed to run windowed in Windows with a mouse and keyboard. It can translate the game to run on Linux, the inputs to a gamepad and convert the game from being windowed to fullscreen. It's impressive and if the games were actually designed for the deck I feel like it could feel as seemless as the switch.

It is really making me consider Linux for my desktop once Windows 10 reaches EoL. The only game I've found that doesn't work is Destiny 2. Even the desktop mode on the deck is surprisingly nice

This reminds me of the old cloud to butt extension

I use PrusaSlicer from Flathub. I was using PrusaSlicer on Windows before switching to Linux. I've been using it since the original Slic3r stopped getting updates. Because it's available as a flatpak it should work on pretty much any distro and immutable distros

I've always thought the licensing for Jetbrains IDEs is a pretty fair way of licensing software. If you stop subscribing you still get access to the last version of the software you paid for but you don't get new versions anymore. And if you stay subscribed you get a loyalty discount after your first and second years. So it provides an incentive to stay subscribed long term but if you do leave you still get access perpetually to the last version you bought

Are they going to go back to calling it Cortana?

So instead of selling on both Sparkfun and Adafruit, having what seems like a monopoly on Teensy style boards, Sparkfun decided it would be smarter to stop selling to Adafruit and force their hand to make an open source competitor

That's an interesting business decision...

If you plan on gaming on atomic Fedora it is basically just that with everything already preconfigured. I chose it because it came with Nvidia drivers, codecs, a bunch of tweaks and gaming utilities preinstalled (protonqt, distrobox, lutris, etc)

You could install all of this on Fedora but IMO it's convenient to just have everything already configured for you if you were going to do it anyways

I also like that it is atomic. Builds on the same image tag guarantee an identical build, which completely fixes the "works on my machine" problem when helping my friends. Two users on the same release will never have mismatched shared libraries or rogue packages, everyone on the same tag has the exact same environment. Plus, it makes rolling back bad upgrades incredibly easy

If this had cellular connectivity it could actually be a pretty cool phone. The battery life is probably good too

I like that rust is opinionated by default. It reminds me of prettier. I don't have to argue with teams about what code style were using. I can open up any rust project and know it's readable and formatted with the same specification as any other rust project

So they basically created a hashing function?

I originally did this and ended up having to remake my account on .world. I just couldn't stand the negativity and constant fighting on .ml. I was able to find a non-ml alternative to every community I was subscribed to. YMMV but it was completely worth it for me

I hate kernel level anti cheat but I give them a pass because at least they support Linux and on Linux the anti cheat isn't kernel level.

Still would prefer they just don't use kernel level anti cheat on all platforms

I'm running a self hosted Gitlab instance right now but thinking of switching to Forgejo. Anyone tried both and have thoughts on each?

I've seen a lot of comments online of people saying they'll leave Windows 10 once SteamOS has general availability. I fear that'll lead them to having a bad experience with Linux because they'll be expecting a desktop OS but instead receive an OS that turns their computer into a console. There's a couple features Bazzite has (like printer drivers) which you might want on something replacing Windows 10 but you probably don't care about if you have a handheld or a steam machine

I've always heard this as "You can lead a horse to water but you can't force it to drink"
