Arch Linux is a very good distribution, but I would definitely not recommend it to the public at large.

I think most people should probably use something like Fedora or Mint.

For advanced users, either Arch, NixOS, or Gentoo.

Stop doing this nonsense manually !

Toyota developing a console grade, open source game engine - using Horse Dung & Manure

I guess they chose this particular flavour of Horse Dung & Manure because it is Google-branded, thus likely has wide-spread support and a proven track record.

But hey, JavaScript has both of those, and no one argues that it isn’t shit (well, almost no one…)

LLMs are dying, so it’s sort of an irrelevant question anyway. Soon Anthropic and OpenAI are going to run out of money and crash, AI will become the new toxic word for investors like blockchain now is, and we will forget this mess ever happened.

Use Obtainium, get your apps directly from the code repositories !

Use GrapheneOS so you can “unlock” your phone and enter the wipe code instead.

I considered this option, but public WiFi is not ubiquitous enough here (in France) for my usage, and I believe a SIM card is absolutely required even for emergency services, which is what ultimately turned me off the idea.

Will host that myself eventually, but a little scared by hardware prices. All I have is a desktop PC with a 700W PSU, probably unsuitable as a home lab.

Learn your lesson : Don’t sell mods.

Bitwarden ! Host it yourself.

Hallucination is mathematically proven to be unsolvable with LLMs. I don’t deny this may have drastically reduced it, or not, I have no idea.

But hallucinations will just always be there as long as we use LLMs.

That’s a little far in my opinion. Expedition 33 is excellent, yes, but Elden Ring is a generational masterpiece.

I have never played any of the free games I got on Epic. It happens regularly that I discover a game I bought on Steam, I already owned on Epic for years.

I don’t care. The platform is bad, no one uses it, you can’t out-Steam Steam.

The only platform I prefer to Steam is GOG. Fuck DRM.

“Companies” are a fundamentally fucked way to organize the economy.

Anything good a company does can be destroyed almost completely when someone buys them. We need to make structures that are fundamentally, legally resistant to this kinda thing.

Now this is exactly the kinda things I want apps to do with the title bar !

I still think more apps would benefit from tailored solutions, but this is the best way to compensate for most apps not caring that I have seen yet.

All of these are (or can be made) accessible through shortcuts. I have SSDs off on my machines, they offer literally 0 functionality.

I still use KDE but I don’t want more buttons, I want more content. Don’t waste 5% of my screen height with basically nothing.

Wasting thousands of pixels doesn’t become okay just because you have millions. That space could be used for something useful like a search bar, instead of just the app name and three icons that are just keyboard shortcuts anyway.

I don’t want a giant bar that only contains 3 icons and the name of the app. Why would you want that ?

I have SSDs off on all my machines.

Yes. While CSD are obviously better - because they enable the titlebar to contain useful things instead of being a gigantic waste of pixels - SSD also obviously need to be supported.

It’s the first time I hear about it, personally, and I am very glad.
