Jpeg XL is such an unsexy name though. (In my opinion) JPEG is already seen as an ancient format, there are plenty of even main stream memes about it’s artifacting quirks. And now you just want to slap more stuff on it? Make it extra large. Sounds like bloat to me!

To be real for a second; I’m sure it’s a fine format and suited for the future, but the name really does put me off it a bit 😄

I hope you mean 60hz is enough for TVs. Because I certainly don’t want that regression on my monitor 😄

In the case of BF 6 and fornite it’s “could run, but we actively don’t want you to”.

So I recently updated pop from 22.04 to 24.04. The only real headache I’ve had is running games through proton. Games now start in windows, which might not even show up at all until I super + F11 to full screen it. The mouse gets stuck in either a corner or the middle, sometimes the cursor works in the menus but stops working on the game itself. Gamescope can fix some of these issues, but alt-tabbing is always an adventure if it breaks the game or not.

An annoying thing is it is very hard to figure out where an issue lies. Is it wayland, is it Cosmic, is it gamescope, or proton? Any tips or tricks people might have would be appreciated.

It’s a shame, because I want to like Wayland. i don’t know what magic system 76 worked in x11 but the only issue I had before was some tearing when moving windows around. 2 monitors of different resolution and framerate with nvidia.

WhatsApp is using Signals protocol for communication: https://signal.org/blog/whatsapp-complete/

I don’t fully understand what it entails, but from what I understand is that yes, WhatsApp is using the same encryption and message flow that signal uses, but you’re still using Meta’s app, and they can just read the plaintext message from there.

Myeah. Makes it sound like they built a new client quickly without future proofing it because the older client was hard to work with, only to create a new hard to work with pile of code. Rewriting software rarely works out to be the silver bullet you imagined it to be. In my experience taking something crappy and piecemeal make focused attempts at improving small parts at a time.

You. When you said “we should” that does kinda imply you’re willing to engage in this as well :P

Oh cool, I didn’t know that and it was the main fear I had from swapping. I really should have just looked it up by now, but oh well.

I don’t think many data hoarders are sitting on the AI generated stuff 😁

I’ve had Spotify since it basically released. I fully switched to a self hosted music library about 5 months ago. I imagine I’ve supported artists more in those 5 months than I did during my 18-ish years of Spotify premium. I still use Soulseek for large artists or quite old albums, but most new releases and remix tracks I pay for.

GPUs also need memory. So they aren’t escaping this from a consumer POV. Not to mention how production capacity is still being sucked up data centres, but now for AI.

Yeah, you’re right. I looked at the GitHub releases which seems to be a very new thing. Their updates in their website goes back much further!

You wouldn’t hear anything bad about it because the project, as far as I can tell, us like 4 months old. It’s far too young for any daily use and to see what the project matures into.

All languages evolve, and in the age or globalisation also becoming more homogenised. I don’t think there will ever be one global language as people like their local dialects and are influenced by local culture, but i wouldn’t be surprised if in a handful of hundred years I could read a bit of French.

Ed and sed don’t load the entire file in, but vim does. Not heard of TECO before 😄

Are you regularly opening up 12 gig log files in a text editor? Personally I’d use something like elasticsearch or less/grep for a local file.

What? You might want to proof read that. The only thing I got from your text is that text editors load an entire file into memory, which has been the case for decades unless you go with a special purpose editor.

I agree with all of what your saying, but how is having a podcast not free? All you need is a way to record audio and somewhere to host it. Basically everyone has a phone, and YouTube and other places are readily available. You don’t need a shure microphone to spread your ideas.

Other than that, I fully agree, this is a very odd post by OP.

I’m so glad you agree that Linux users are the evil ones.
