Lmao as a flutter dev I’d be down for it

Eh nothing really, but if you don’t have a Ventoy set up and you just need an image burned it’s more convenient to just use balena or something else.

ventoy is nice in that I can just dump ISOs to a single USB and take it around, but balena is one of many boot media tools that’s useful if you need a single ISO for a system - fast.

Hi dad, I’m Brazil 💪😟💪

One day we’ll have Switch 2 Devs working from somewhere like Russia so Nintendo can’t send Pinkertons to their front door to enforce the plumber’s demands

Nintendo’s legal argument is that the encryption that is reverse-engineered to circumvent copy-protection is protected intellectual property.

Anyone can copy the contents of a switch ROM (more of a glorified SD card anyway) but the million-dollar question is whether their proprietary encryption can be broken legally.

They sent people to his house

motherfucker had goons sicced on him

not even sure distro tube has this many lmao

I’m a flutter dev, and I’ve seen testimonies from a former Windows 98 dev about limiting the number of redraws in the shell.

There’s deffo extra overhead, but it’s not linear - 4k being 4 times as many pixels as 1080p doesn’t mean 4k the work to render after the first frame, as the browser/framework will cache certain layout elements.

The initial layout is still expensive, though, so big tables will take longer, but that big table at high Res will probably be less chuggy when scrolling once loaded.

np! o7

I guess it’s more niche.

Sure SUSE may not “need” a fork, but most forks of Debian and Ubuntu aren’t changing much beyond a few superficial settings - If you need your “own” distro you’re more likely to pick the bigger distros to fork and slap your own badge on á la TuxedoOS, PopOS, GnomeOS, KDE-Neon, etc.

rarbg mirrors are simply rehosting the database. You were even able to download and self host it for a while. Not sure if the tracker is able to accept new torrents though, I’m not really knowledgeable on how trackers work

yeah figma is GPU accelerated for all the vector graphics it handles

Figma is great for designers, there are sadly very few applications that support collaborative UI-UX design. We badly need a FOSS alternative!

Some distros allow this. Nix for example allows you to save config files that describe your entire system (apps, settings, etc) and then load them in one go. Other distros are following suit with their own tailored solutions too (I think Ubuntu might have something? Manjaro?).

That might save a bit of power, but your dedicated GPU is usually in an idle/powered down state until your compositor gives it specific applications to accelerate. for Nvidia laptops this is what the PRIME/Optimus feature does.

Your GPU doesn’t need to re-render your entire screen every frame. Your compositor will only send regions of the screen that change for rendering, and most application stacks are very efficient with laying out elements to limit the work needed.

At higher resolutions those regions will obviously be larger, but they’ll still take up roughly the same % of the screen space.

Unless you’re running games or 3D intensive apps no. Resolution is cheap on power under normal circumstances.

Fedora, Ubuntu etc. use up to date packages if you’re using flatpaks and snaps. Nix I suppose fits the bill better but it’s a harder distro to “learn” than arch imo

How about Rhino? Rolling release of Debian Sid iirc

I like the approach here, but the requirements are a little vague and prone to bikeshedding. Stuff like “could this be used by multiple clients” might mean a protocol is held in limbo whilst it’s given extra scope for example.

It’ll need some strong moderation which might rub people the wrong way, but if this keeps Wayland’s cutting edge moving whilst the official solutions are found, I’m all for it.
