Arch or NixOS?
  • This is my experience as well. I went back to Arch after trying NixOS for a few weeks. I just ended up spending way too much time tinkering with the system instead of using it. Also, I feel like a major advantage to nixos is only viable if you have multiple machines. I only have a main desktop.

    A new home and license (AGPL) for Synapse and friends
  • I also agree with this move. Keeping Open Source projects funded and sustainable is a hard thing to do. IMO they’re still keeping with the Open Source principles

    Anyone have experience with Intel Arc GPUs?
  • Thanks for this. I’m on 1440p so hopefully the performance will be a bit better. The A770 seems like it has great price to performance though, making it one of the top spots on my list.

    Glad to hear that support is solid on Arch

    Anyone have experience with Intel Arc GPUs?
  • Appreciate it. It sounds like with the new announcement they’re putting quite a bit of support behind it so I’m optimistic improvements are made quickly

  • I’m considering building a new machine soon and was looking at the Intel Arc GPUs as a possibility. Anyone have experience using them in their system? I’m on Arch btw

    Running and strength training
  • Congrats on the kid! I’ve also heard to lift first due to risk of injury. It makes sense to me - there’s a higher chance of acute injuries during heavy squats or deadlifts if I’m fatigued and get sloppy on form

    Apple officially unveils M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max: 3 nanometer, Dynamic Caching GPU, more
  • I was kinda bored for this announcement. I have a M2 Pro MBP for work and I really have no desire to get anything faster.

    I was hoping for a new iPad Mini announcement

    Running and strength training
  • I’m also trying to figure out how to not lift the day before my long runs. I usually do Saturday long runs, lift Friday and speed work Thursdays. I might try to lift light Thursdays and see how that goes

  • How many of you both run and strength train in a given week?

    I'm currently doing strength training 3x a week, running 4x a week. Mondays are the only days where I have both scheduled. I'm curious for those of you that do both, what kind of strength training do you do, and do you run first or lift first?

    Red Hat / Fedora drama?
  • I'm in this camp as well - I personally don't think that the Fedora distro will see much of an impact. From what I can tell, it's still in their best interest to ensure that Fedora receives the community support that it always has. That said, like I mentioned in the OP, I get why they made this move for the company.

    We'll just have to wait and see whether their Fedora support will continue. The great thing about Linux is the choice, though. So if there ever comes a time where Fedora's no longer pro consumer, there's always Arch and Debian.

    Red Hat / Fedora drama?
  • Yeah I believe the primary problem (from the community) is that the telemetry was proposed to be default opt-out. Meaning the default choice is opted in.

  • What do you all think of the Red Hat drama a few months ago? I just learned about it and looked into it a bit. I’ve been using Fedora for a while now on my main system, but curious whether you think this will end up affecting it.

    My take is that yes, it’s kinda a shitty move to do but I get why RH decided to stop their maintenance given they’re a for profit company.

    What do you guys think? Do you still use or would you consider using Fedora?

    Kids' Cartoon From Conservative University Claims That Slavery Was 'No Big Deal'
  • Incredibly troubling this is approved to be taught to children. I think we can all agree horrible it is that Japan has consistently denied the atrocities they committed during WW2. Let’s do better.

    First step is to make sure the next generations understand what NOT to do.

    Linux surpasses the Mac among Steam gamers
  • I’m curious if the decline in Mac gaming is due to the launch of GPTK. I know a few people using it on their Mac - does it count as Windows or Linux instead of MacOS?

    Zoom's Updated Terms of Service Permit Training AI on User Content Without Opt-Out
  • This is terrible for privacy, but not surprising at all. For enterprise, the target market for Zoom, I imagine this doesn’t matter much.

    I don’t know anyone that uses Zoom for personal use. And if you do, why?
