In other news, water is wet. (nobody is surprised that Apple would fight this fine)

AI bros are trying really hard to convince people that their parrots can be useful in business settings.

Who the fuck announces a product on a Sunday? They must not have much hope this will sell…

Telegram are being paid by xAI to use their product? Isn’t it supposed to be the other way around?

You can’t, it just part of how Fedora works now. Maybe Fedora should patch Dolphin to take /sysroot into account instead of /

Fedora Atomic Desktop 42 switched to composefs, which has a small full partition mounted to /. Your “real” filesystem is mounted on /sysroot

I remember quite well burning an Ubuntu 9.04 Live CD, and before that trying an ancient Knoppix Live CD that my dad had laying in a drawer. I must have been 15 back then.

There’s an issue on Bazzite’s repo asking for new-lg4ff and other kernel modules to be added. While the issue is still open, it describes a workaround^[1][2] but it requires building the DKMS module and layering it on top of Bazzite on every kernel update.

Edit: re-reading your post and Oversteer’s README your wheel should be supported by the default kernel, I’m not sure new-lg4ff will fix your issue (and the latter does not list the G920). The issue must be somewhere else. I wish I could help you, but I have yet to try Assetto Corsa and Dirt Rally with my Driving Force GT on Bazzite.

I haven’t used an immutable distro, but if it’s a problem, I’m sure that there’s a way to defeat the immutability. If it just mounts the root filesystem read-only, then

# mount -o remount,rw /

Will probably do it.

It will work until the next reboot (and I believe it won’t work on Fedora 42 as it now uses composefs), on Fedora Atomic Desktops you have to use layers to add additional packages using rpm-ostree

(Edit: formatting)

Most probably Microsoft has set objectives for how much LoC are from LLMs and developers invented numbers to match that metric (because they probably have things more important to do than counting LoC)

Exactly, I don’t understand why so few articles covering the trial suggest Chrome going independent as an option.

I don’t know why, somehow it just feels different to me. Or maybe it’s just the state of the world that tries to dehumanize everything with “AI” that depress me.

Just the thought of sex robots depressed me even more than the state of the world already had.

It’s like regular Fedora KDE, except that it avoids this problem of traces of past experiments everywhere.

Kinoite is much more than that: it is an atomic and immutable spin of Fedora KDE. This has big implications but the gist of it is that:

1. You can roll back to any previous version if anything breaks

2. The base system cannot be modified

3. If you need to install RPM packages, you do that by adding “layers” on top of the base system, and these can be removed if needed to go back to a clean base system

4. You can switch from one spin to another by “rebasing”, but it is recommended that you remove any additional layer first and that you stick to the same desktop environment

My experience on other distros was that upgrading in place a system that deviated too much from “stock” would wreck the install. I would personally play it safe and backup my home folder and do a fresh install.

Just don’t forget to test your backup before formatting your drive!

Android has always been developed in a closed-source manner by Google engineers, the recent changes only reduces the visibility of ongoing changes and the ability for developers outside of OEMs to contribute to Android (such contributions were already rare).

This is explained further in this article:

While some OS components, such as Android’s Bluetooth stack, are developed publicly in the AOSP branch, most components, including the core Android OS framework, are developed privately within Google’s internal branch. Google confirmed to Android Authority that it will soon shift all Android OS development to its internal branch, a change intended to streamline its development process.

Do it! Do it! Do it!

I might be lucky, my Gen 1 Pebble still works (though I have not tested how long the battery lasts in use, I only know it stayed on for under a week idle).

Only restic snapshots are backed-up to B2. ZFS snapshots are for undoing mistakes, though I enabled them recently and I have yet to use them.

My work flow is pretty similar to yours:

For my desktop and laptops: systemd timer and service that backups every 15 minutes using restic to my NAS.

For my NAS : daily backup using restic + ZFS snapshots.

All restic backups are then uploaded daily to Backblaze B2.
