The easily reachable content on the internet has become so terrible (poorly AI-generated, clickbait, copy-paste...) that, in order to find good content, you either search on Reddit or look for a blog using &#39;before:&#39; in your search engine. I am still not used to it, and I probably never will be.&quot;

@kev which one is it? I have been thinking on getting one but the low dpi sets me aback

It is getting better (ruff, uv, pyproject...) but Python vast ecosystem and tooling is a chaotic mess. Pylance is propietary and Microsoft is being a dick trying really hard to make it work only on official vscode releases (so no vscodium,, no vscode-oss). Even if you use it the proper way it work sheldomly, comes with some basic features off (because of performance) etc. Package management is also a mess with pip, conda, poetry...

The Fediverse and X rarely see eye to eye, but the new UK OSA law made both communities actually agree: seems to be a disaster.

It’s taking some restraint to resist upgrading my AMD @frameworkcomputer 13. For now, my excuse is waiting for them to step up their BIOS game. In the meantime, I swapped the thermal paste for Honeywell PTM7950. So far, I’m seeing a 5% boost in single-core and 10% in multi-core performance—supposedly, it gets even better after a few cycles. Bonus: watching YouTube videos is noticeably quieter. Not bad for a cheap upgrade!

Finally playing Ocarina of Time how it was meant to be played: at 4K on a Linux laptop with an Xbox controller.

Three years of not using @kdenlive and wow! It was already awesome but not it breeds and feels more professional than ever. I&#39;m using the nightly flatpak, self compiled keeps crashing, most probably because my setup is screqed (self compiled Qt, Plasma, Frameworks..).

@firefoxnightly @mozilla This chart has been flat for at least a year, perhaps it helps you understand why the remaining firefox users are not really happy with the AI news, at least not in x.com/mastodon.

@GrapheneOS A humble suggestion, IIRC you are working on your own Cell phone (can&#39;t wait for that), perhaps you might want to take a look at creating a GrapheneOS minipc/stick, good enough to run media apps without all the tracking any other vendor will do. That seems more easily achievable. Perhaps test the waters with a crowdfunding?
