Apple introduces M4 chip

Jump

    • Windows is hell, i need to do something

    Jump

  • Not going to push Ardour if your brains are wired for Live, but have you tried Bitwig?

    (Tho Ardour has Clip Launchers now, wink wink)

    • Apple introduces M4 chip

    Jump

  • Ah again. One more moving target to chase for the nice AsahiLinux project.

    • Apple introduces M4 chip

    Jump

  • I just finished the full soundtrack of a theatre play using AsahiLinux on my M2pro mbp. I resorted to macos only to render some heavy video tracks.

    • Proton Pass Monitor is now available — dark web scanning, password health and inactive 2FA

    Jump

  • I guess the 1st highest-voted feature request is a Linux client for Proton Drive?

    • What did you get told as a child that you realised was a lie as you got older?

    Jump

  • In CMY (printing) you get black by adding them all. In RGB (lighting) you get white

    • Has anyone here ever tried Linux From Scratch?

    Jump

  • What impressed me at the time was that it worked ; you'd pull huge amount of stuff and then waited in front of a real-life Reversed Matrix full of mysterious hieroglyphs. But Slackware would compile Ardour, Jack, Jamin and whatever else. Yeah it took a while to fetch all the libraries, but then it just did it.

    Last week localsend wouldn't compile on Arch, and took hours to fail it.

    • Neofetch development discontinued, repository archived

    Jump

  • Works on mine

    Édit: (10)... Ah, I see the point, indeed.

    • When did you get your first phone? First computer? What was it?

    Jump

  • Commodore 64, with the tape reader, hooked to a black&white CRT

    Seems I'm the eldest one here for now

    • What features would I be losing if I switched to GNOME?

    Jump

  • What you are losing is what you are gaining ; I for one embrace the minimalism of Gnome (even macos feels, looks bloated next to Gnome). There's only 2 extensions that I add, and they are the vainest ones: the Spinning Cube and the Wobbly Windows.

    No, there's one more: the gnome implementation of kdeconnect, so useful to link your phone to your PC.

    Of course KDE has great, great software out there, you shouldn't be loosing anything by switching, so that's where I use flatpaks, to not have to pull all of KDE libs on my system over the gtk ones: kdenlive comes to mind.

    Embrace the zen. Drop the very idea of spending a week to fine-tune your Desktop to your liking - a gnome install is finished in about 5 minutes, including setting up the best wallpaper ever, the competition-winning KDE 6 Peaceful Tree default background.

    Or just install the Fedora KDE spin, really.

  • Thank you for taking your time about this. I will make sure to give Startide a go, since as I said, I like the themes but couldn't go through Sundiver actually.

  • Don't miss "The freeze-frame revolution" then!

    (+ it is available drm-free from its publisher, Tachyon)

    • 'Marketing's dead, and I can back this s**t up': Baldur's Gate 3 publishing director says players 'just want to be spoken to, and they don't want to be bamboozled'

    Jump

  • No, that's PR. Marketing is buying ads, buying reviews, buying people.

    • Andrew Tate and brother Tristan to be tried in Romania on rape and trafficking charges

    Jump

  • Good, good. The flight was a bit bumpy today, but by 11am I was having breakfast at my favorite little place down in front of the mosque. I love the quiet Sunday mornings here.

  • There's a lot more to Peter Watts, with the Rifters trilogy in particular.

    Thanks for sharing this list ; about everything I enjoyed recently is there, so I'm saving this as "I should probably like most of them". Martha Wells, Becky Chambers, and Ann Leckie - Leckie is fab. I get your point about Connie Willis, but her portrayal of London's wartime is poignant.

    One author that didn't do for me is Sergei David Brin. I like the themes, I can't go though the books (uplift).

    And anyone feeling overwhelmed by your olympic-grade S-F nerdery should just pick any John Scalzi book and stop worrying.

    • Remember when some Motorbikes got these Wagons beside em?

  • Are we all just going to ignore that this song only lasts 2:52 or charitably assume it was on repeat?

    I don't know what's worse tho.

    • Signs you're getting old?

    Jump

  • We used to meet for beers at any time of the day. Or night.

    Having tea or coffee anytime past 10am is a sure sign of deliquescence of both body and mind I believe - and I should know since I totally reached that stage.

    • Signs you're getting old?

    Jump

  • I remember the first time I thought we were getting old: A friend suggested we meet for coffee at around 4pm. Fml.

  • Let me inflict upon you a sobering (pun intended) thought: Good! If you suffer from day- or week-long hangovers, it means you are not an alcoholic! I never, ever suffered hangovers after being drunk. All the time. For years.

    That stopped 247 days ago tho.
