Fonzie!

I’m using it happily for many years now, even after trying a bunch of other DEs. So I’m surprised reading this and curious to know where it comes from.

What were your experiences, if I may ask?

So does Cinnamon, and I think GNOME as well. They’re configurable, too!

Be very sure you pick the new 2.8k display version.

Why? I mean why is this so important?

I’d love to see a (moderately) powerful ARM Framework, like one built on a Snapdragon X Elite or something in that vein

Do keep in mind this is probably very underpowered. They even recommend waiting for future RISC-V products if you’re looking for a consumer-ready experience.

They don’t have mkv support by the way, that won’t ever work in Firefox. Are you sure you’re not trying to play mkv files?

Weird, it’s been working for me for a while

That’s strange, I’m almost certain my desktop’s Firefox doesn’t have this (AMD GPU) while my laptop’s Firefox does (Nvidea GPU)

I just need to manually set media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled to true in about:config

OK yeah that’s something 99% of even Firefox users aren’t going to know… Bookmarking this to try when I’m back home!

The humour is so dry I need to take it with a cup of tea or two. I love it.

This is one of those moments where “skill issue” fully applies 😁

Keep learning, friend, I’ve been there and Linux is a journey

Bro you browse that outside of a private window?

Well that took a turn

Looks like I’ll be reading more of this!

Second from the left.

Also the funny fact that the four male characters look like gnarly men, while the sole female character looks like her only talent is wearing make up

In my opinion GitHub is seriously good software, but it is awkward when FOSS software is developed on it instead of on Codeberg, Gitea or another FOSS platform.

Discord is actually a security risk, it walls information off the outside world (compared to a forum or IRC server) and incredibly difficult to find information in even when you’re in the server (as opposed to documentation or a forum)

Matrix has 2/3 of these issues, so it being FOSS aside I very much would hate it when development discussion and software documentation is done through Matrix, as well.

JetBrains’ AI code suggestions were only trained on code where authors gave explicit permission for it, but that’s the only one I know from the top of my head. Most chat-oriented LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini…) were almost certainly trained using corporate piracy.

That’s not what sandboxed means and Nix isn’t sandboxed.

Sandboxed means it runs in a separate container, often with limited permissions; raising security at the cost of performance.

Oh so that wasn’t a joke from their booth.

This seems really out of place, but locally ran auto subtitles from ethically sourced AI would be great.

It’s just that there’s two very big conditions in that sentence there.

I wonder how powerful a device you need to run this live a la YouTube auto caption-style.

Does anyone have experience with this?

They’re helpful to my deaf ears, even when they’re wrong (50% of the words) they do give me a solid idea of what is being said together with what the audio sounds like.

With it, I get almost everything correct. Without it, I understand near to nothing.

This only goes for English spoken by Americans and sometimes London Britons, sadly, nothing else get detected nearly as good enough, so I can’t enjoy YouTube in my native language (Dutch), but being able to consume English YouTube already helps a lot!
