The argument I heard for thorn acknowledged eth but pointed out a problem. In English our letters correspond to rough shapes of sounds. They often get moved around and changed by dialects. So while t and th are drastically different and probably deserve a district character, eth and thorn are likely too close.

Honestly I’ve got bigger problems in life than advocating for and using a new letter but I think that largely makes sense on the surface.

I miss really digging deep into what my system was doing and understanding how the different components worked. I had choices at every step and owned every package, feature, and configuration. Also being able to easily patch and collaborate on fixes with maintainers through a local overlay.

I also feel like that understanding provided a knowledge of dark magics of how and why distros work forged in the mistakes of my Gentoo systems that’s been valuable in my career.

That said, I don’t really have time for it these days. Being able to just turn my computer on and it just works with a mainstream binary distro is a stability I’ve needed for things like work and home servers for family stuff.

Some people aren’t patient with you needing to entirely rebuild your system because you broke an ebuild or didn’t read a news and it trashed your system and it’s got several hours of recompiling system packages ahead of it.

That said I’ll perpetuate the trope and say I broke down and finally started running Arch on some personal machines this year and enjoy it. It’s not the same but it’s filled a bit of that itch and is fun to push the edge and find other people doing the same.

It sure is hard to ignore. You’ve got that right

I felt really dumb when I realized you weren’t syncing a “keep ass” database. Thought it was some trendy next gen database created by someone who really dgaf.

“AI just weaponized existing incompetence.”

Daamn. Harsh but hard to argue with.

Good plan. You’ll definitely find things you don’t like along the way and struggle. And having something to get things done in a crunch is useful. Just keep learning and in the end you’ll have all the tools you need and it’ll be great.

Thank you. The amount of JPEG I couldn’t see they are legos and didn’t get it the actual joke.

It was a challenge I wanted to conquer too but also I increasingly felt like I didn’t own my computer. The software was increasingly cutting me out of the ability to modify and use it the way I wanted.

I spent a lot of time in Gentoo early on where patching software was an overlay and recompile away and it was great testing early amd64 bugs and pushing the limits with gaim and reverse engineering chat protocols.

I was doing some dual booting then but as i built a career in web development, it became more and more my solo driver. Running the same platform you’re developing for is incredibly convenient and Linux runs the web.

Now I can’t imagine running windows. Using it and helping people on it is just a miserable experience for me.

Generally no but in realitly it could contribute. some have weird behaviours in how they allocate space so knowing can be useful to rule things out our suggesting gotchas to look for.

I see what you meant. I consider rust core utils beta so stand by my statement but I see what you meant.

Been using cosmic ui on and off since the beta release and it is still pretty beta. Really good at this point honestly and a huge achievement for them but not without some annoying bugs for me.

Just something to consider before jumping. You should be ready to work around some annoyances, deal with some slowness/quirks, and probably be ready to provide feedback and bug reports.

1. Minor releases aren’t beta. By any convention they should be fully tested, final releases. And if gnu core utils broke systems in a minor release you better believe it would make it to some news.
2. The instability of choosing a beta software for the literal core of your operating system is kind of the point.

I’m very skeptical of that argument.

1. Millions of people didn’t throw out their desktops overnight.
2. Lots of tech channels finding their core audience that’s actively supporting and often growing on platforms like patreon aren’t showing up in their metrics while fluff videos are getting picked up outside their community on mobile and "performing well“.

So something definitely seems to be going on.

To me, ads contributing to "views“ metrics seems the most logical since YT wants to incentivise ad watching but I have to agree it feels like every day someone has proven a new theory so it’s hard to say what exactly is going on.

Because the deal is probably not about graphics. As with everything these days, it’s AI. We’ll be seeing the announcement of the nvidia powered Intel AI CPUs soon.

In that context Intel’s GPU is a complimentary video provider to NVIDIAsAI GPU chiplets.

How long that lasts…

Dang as soon as you said globbing I realized what had happened but didn’t see it right away either

Pretty sure the suggested usage of OBS is to use your GPU for hardware encoding video so not sure what the difference you’re describing is.

Man probably needed to eat. What a system we’ve got.

That’s a more recent flare up but DHH has been “ruffling feathers” for a while to put it politely. https://tomstu.art/the-dhh-problem
