What do you guys do when you want to run unmaintained programs? (lemmy.world)

I recently wanted to run tegaki, and my experience is pretty much summed up by the meme. I consider myself fairly tech-savvy, but I just couldn’t figure out how to compile it. So I just gave up, downloaded the .exe and put it into a fresh wine prefix. After installing CJK fonts, everything ran fine. Now I’m trying to get...

I would be very surprised if any major Lemmy instances ran on a MacOS or Windows Server

If you’re on GNOME I believe there’s a remote desktop option in settings under sharing which might set it up for you

I hope someday we'll find a way to pirated a car (lemmy.world)

In the end, the KIA car company made its cars into subscription models, I really hate this because in the end the car we buy with our own money doesn’t feel like it belongs to us. Should we finally buy an old school car ? so as not to be affected by this subscription models or is there a way to crack the software installed in...

Are they? These services do require money to run, and the pricing seems very reasonable

Provided that the developer can either remove contributed code or seek copyright licences from every contributor it can be done. Whether this did happen or not is unclear, the developer appears a little arrogant about having written the majority of the code, showing little appreciation towards minor contributors. We cannot tell whether the contributors gave permission for their code to be re-licenced or if their code was removed.

Personally, when contributing to GPL projects I would expect that this kind of thing wouldn’t be possible. Using the GPL is a very philosophical choice of licence and is a move to say that you really care about your users

It’s always struck me as a bit odd that people choose to use a paid proprietary app to access a free and open source social media platform which is developed and hosted entirely by volunteers based on donations. Whilst I don’t have a problem with people making money off of Lemmy apps, making them proprietary and with ads seems against the spirit of Lemmy

Not really. Plus we have alot more independents/minor parties due to our preferential voting system that people can vote for. What it does is forces people to are more about politics and policy

By “gamer” they probably don’t mean someone who plays games. They probably mean someone who think 69 is a funny number and saying the n word is cool

The Wii U failed with few units sold. Star Fox Zero released for the Wii U sold much worse than any other Wii U game. But it’s really good - Motion controls are amazing plus the two player co-op where one flys and the other guns is very fun

Ending support for Windows 10 could send 240 million computers to the landfill. Why not install Linux on them? (gadgettendency.com)

With support ending for Windows 10, the most popular desktop operating system in the world currently, possibly 240 million pcs may be sent to the landfill. This is mostly due to Windows 11’s exorbitant requirements. This will most likely result in many pcs being immediately outdated, and prone to viruses. GNU/Linux may be...

The average consumer isn’t going to toss out a good computer they bought if it can’t run Windows 11. They’re certainly not installing Linux. They’ll keep using Windows 10 for as long as they can. I’ve seen way too much of Windows XP still running on people’s computers, if it can still browse the web, access emails and look at Facebook they’re not spending money on a new one

I’ve got a bit of experience with NVIDIA Optimus laptops on Linux so here’s some questions:

  • What exactly is the problem?
  • Are games not running on NVIDIA?

In this case you need to add an environment variable to the launch options in steam, the name of which has escaped me (should be on OPTIMUS page of Arch wiki)

  • Or is the driver not working at all?
  • What desktop environment/wm are they using?

For example if you’re using GNOME in the settings program in the about the system section (the last one) and in the System information dialog check to make sure it says something like “NVIDIA GTX 1050 Mobile”. Also make sure the NVIDIA driver program shows up with the other apps

Electron can be done well, like vscode does. In saying that, it almost never seems to happen

Why make new apps, we should be focusing on rewriting everything in Rust /s

To be fair the extension developers were given quite a while to update their extensions to use JavaScript modules instead of the custom GNOME solution. This was actually a change for the better and unlikely to happen again which should make extension development easier. As for better tiling look up their mosaic thing which was announced a while ago, though I’m unsure as to how soon that will come out.

Also try to remember that GNOME is developed mostly by volunteers who frankly owe you nothing

You’re right TempleOS is the only perfect OS

Though the difference is AUR packages aren’t officially supported or tested and are commonly out of date. They also need to be built on your system

I’m not sure (I’m about to install it for the first time - on this computer) - According to this all you need to do is:


<span style="color:#323232;"># nix-channel --add https://channels.nixos.org/nixos-23.11 nixos
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade

I switchee to Arch the other month, its been alright except for CUDA getting an update before the NVIDIA driver so I couldn’t run my assignment locally. But I assume that’s my fault because Arch maintainers are all care and no responsibility.

I might be looking into NixOS soon

How about those mobile ones where they gradually move in from the sides to form a border around the content until you tell them to fuck off

The thing is with a small app ads pay f all compared to the ongoing development costs. $100usd a year for Apple developer license, recent Mac and time spent developing it.

12th of October 2023 is how dates are written at least in Australia
