AVincentInSpace,

The problem is the fact that the documentation exists solely as a series of what are effectively chat messages, not what platform those chat messages are hosted on. Markdown files or bust.

AVincentInSpace,

do you have any idea the shitstorm that would go down in the Void Linux forums

AVincentInSpace, (edited )

omg it’s a story about me!!!

also no shame if so, just want to confirm, but with short paragraphs, simple plot, odd word choice, and minor factual errors (“vi lacked the basic functionality that emacs provided”), this story reads suspiciously like ChatGPT wrote it. is that right?

AVincentInSpace,

no. NO. I LEFT THAT MINDVIRUS BEHIND IN 2021 YOU CAN’T DO THIS TO ME

AVincentInSpace,

Ah yes, The popcorn bucket. The bucket for popcorn. The bucket specifically designed to be filled with popcorn. The popcorn bucket.

AVincentInSpace,

The time I spent “distro hopping” back in high school was because I didn’t have the balls to commit to a single distro. Even then the only time I actually switched was when I made a config change that blew up in my face so badly I needed to reinstall anyway.

If you’ve found a setup you’re happy with, by all means, stick with it. You’re not missing out on much by not voluntarily erasing your boot drive and installing an entirely new OS every week or so for no reason other than it looked cool.

(If you’re about to suggest dual booting multiple Linux distros, no. Just stop. I tried that once. You would not believe how many issues are caused by sharing a ~/.config between two systems with slightly different versions of the same software.)

That’s because H.265 is patent encumbered. Firefox doesn’t support H.265 at all and Chrome only supports it if the hardware does. In order to support accepting H.265 input from streamers, Twitch would basically have to pony up the compute resources for full-res realtime transcoding for every H.265 stream to H.264 – either that or put up with a lot of bad press surrounding people not being able to stream at full res anymore.

AVincentInSpace,

All (recent) major browsers I’m aware of have software AV1 decode as standard, so the receiving end wouldn’t be a problem apart from higher CPU usage. As for encode, obviously this wouldn’t be universal – just streamers who had the computing power (hardware or software) for realtime AV1 encode would be able to take advantage of that on Twitch.

AVincentInSpace,

So you’re saying she’s afraid of losing her famously numerous male followers? Or that her female followers (many of whom think she’s gay regardless of what she says in interviews) will start coming on to her because they now think they have a chance?

AVincentInSpace,

Since it appears you missed my sarcasm, Taylor Swift has a statistically insignificant number of male followers, and the ones who would think they have a chance more than likely think she’s gay regardless.

AVincentInSpace,

People on Lemmy shit all over Taylor Swift already, idk what to tell you

AVincentInSpace,

My dad in a conversation with other parents:

“When I was their age, a car meant freedom. It meant you could take yourself to a place your friends were and your parents weren’t, anytime you wanted. To them, the Internet means freedom, and they don’t really see the point.”

AVincentInSpace,

Better yet, make an example out of Haier. Prove to companies everywhere that allowing open source compatibility can only be good for them.

AVincentInSpace,

when building literally any Rust project from source*

AVincentInSpace,

Maybe they meant your account is 915 days old as of this year?

AVincentInSpace,

Hello fellow Jerboa user!

Open source Lemmy clients ftw!

did you know that if you type this number into the default Android dialer app, the call button will flash red and blue

(does not work on phones that provide their own dialer such as Samsung but nevertheless a cool easter egg)

AVincentInSpace,

ITT: weirdly a lot of people assuming that Grandpa votes Republican based on nothing besides his age and love of guns

Every couple of years I think to myself “You know, I can’t actually remember why I don’t like Ubuntu. It must have just been some weird one-off thing that soured me on it last time. Besides, I’ve got N more years of Linux experience under my belt, so I know how to avoid sticky situations with apt, and they’ve had N more years to make their OS more user friendly! I pride myself on not holding grudges, and if this distro still gets recommended to newbies, how bad can it possibly be, especially for someone with my level of expertise?”

And then I download Ubuntu.

And then I remember.

Those have gotten a lot better in recent years. Last time I had an issue with WiFi drivers was in 2016.

Graphics drivers, on the other hand, especially Optimus…
