Yeah, that sounds like the age old “why so many desktops (or other apps)” debate. Because we can. Because doing new things is fun. Because this isn’t all about being effective and capitalist logic.

Ohh, that looks cool! Thanks!

You have checked Krita? I’m not doing much so it’s more than enough for me.

Classic case of “that’s not what LLMs are made for”?

Is it easy to get NVIDA drivers, Vulkan, Cuda etc in Debian? I somehow thought that was kind finicky, not sure why …

Can confirm that the Razer BIOS is absolutely bar bones. Never really minded that and as I said aside of the non-working speakers (apparently a known problem with Razer) it was all good.

I’ve used a Razer Blade 16 last year and could never get the speakers to work no matter what I tried. Tested quite a few distros (Mint, Manjaro, Debian) and ultimately settled on Fedora. Didn’t mind the speakers not working much since I used Bluetooth speakers/headphones mostly anyway. Other then that Fedora worked prefectly.

Not much new for me, already on Plasma 6.2 with Kinoite, but there seems to be an alternative to rpm-ostree coming up (not sure if/why it’s needed/better but if I don’t have to remember when it is “rpm-ostree” and when it’s “ostree” in cli I’m all for it 😸):

Ah, ok. Very nice!

Intro-skipping is build-in now? Did I get this right? I thought they decided against it?

Make Peertube more known! Tell your fav people on YT!

Yeah, lots of edgelord-vibes in this garbage.

Yeah, but downloading new stuff is even more exciting then sorting the already downloaded stuff 😸

Datahoarder checking in:

Never delete 🫡

Also Blender = Nvidia (judging by Blenderbenchmarks, never had an Amd card so can’t compare in praxis …)

I can’t believe that there’s actually finally some good news in all this horror that has been the last years. Can this be true?

I’m running two servers in two different locations on two i5 NUCs with USB-attached HDDs (blasphemy, I know) for storage and lots of Docker services. Its not super fast (e.g. Jellyfin) but good enough for me.

Check the manual (online if you don’t have one). Usually you longpress a (touch)button on the earbuds to get them into pairing-mode, then add them as a new Bluetooth device on your OS.

Yeah, but is that an option realistically, if the parents want Netflix and Iplayer or whatever?

I think just with electric cars all the options are a complete privacy nightmare …

Yeah, I havent tested on Gnome but ot runs on Windoge and even has some functionality on MacOS. I still get regurlaly hyped when I noticed that Connect paused my musoc on my PC when I get a call on my mobile. It’s just so fricking awesome!

(Now we only need a technology that makes it easy to quickly look at a friend’s holiday photos on my giant screen and not all have to huddle around his tiny phone like some Neanderthals to view them 👌)
