linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Arch Linux is a Tamagotchi for IT nerds
21·10 days agoArch teaches you to exercise muscles that would otherwise atrophy. Understanding how your system is put together, how to diagnose and fix problems, how to handle upgrades safely. It becomes just as easy as any other OS and you’re better off for it.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Uncle Bob becoming even worse:
71·19 days agoThat doesn’t follow. What I think you mean is that by defining the constraints so rigorously, you’ve basically solved the problem yourself. But that’s exactly the point. The LLM isn’t the problem solver, it’s the execution engine that does the wiring-up and the ticking of boxes. The easy part, arguably, sure. But still considerable effort that can be saved, and that effort may be better spent on the problem-solving + constraint-defining stage.
Mandatory disclaimer that this is not a pro-AI post. I also don’t agree that this setup works, anyway. It’s a classic Bob Martinism, the idea that writing good enough specifications makes the implementation irrelevant; it’s the type of idea that is allergic to reality

Linux@programming.dev•Visor Is a New Graphical UEFI Boot Manager for Linux
9·29 days agoAny software born after 2025 should be assumed LLM nonsense until proven otherwise. The days of “there’s a working proof of concept so someone must actually have put some thought and effort into it” are gone.

Linux@programming.dev•Measuring input latency on Linux: X11 vs Wayland, VRR, and DXVK - Marco Nett
1·29 days agoThe 3ms figure is nonsense anyway. 2ms of that is just bad scheduling/presentation config that disappeared when using dxvk-low-latency. Use native wayland or Gamescope+WSI and you’re within 1ms of X11 generally.

Technology@lemmy.world•Gamers push back: 71% say they’re not ready to let physical games die as PlayStation and Xbox move toward a digital-only future”English
2·1 month agoIt would be trivial to add online only drm with a killswitch to physical media. If that’s the problem, discs aren’t the solution. What we actually need is legal protection for consumers.

Linux@programming.dev•Fish Shell 4.8 Improves History Search, Scripting, and Completions
4·2 months agoCompletions, plugins, and themes built in. It’s fine. I still use bash for scripting but fish for interactive terminals is nice with little effort.
Using aur helpers is fine if they make it easy to read the pkgbuild, which paru does. It’s too annoying to check for PKGBUILD and upstream/vcs updates for each package individually.
Ideally the aur helper would point out when 1) a package changed maintainers since your last install, 2) a package’s PKGBUILD itself changed (not just the upstream/vcs source), 3) the PKGBUILD is less than 24h old or so. And for #2, it should also show you the changes similar to what you see on the AUR site’s “view changes” page. I’m not aware of any aur helper that does these things, but hopefully recent events prompt a change.
Do harder content and it suddenly becomes a real job. Keys are mostly vibing up to +21s right now and then suddenly you have to keep track of everyone’s defensives and externals and tell them how to use them while also rotating your cds perfectly

Technology@lemmy.world•Plex increasing Lifetime Plex Pass cost to whopping $750English
2·3 months agoHaven’t really looked into it. I have Jellyfin set up and ready to switch over already. Maybe I’ll check it out when Plex blows up

Technology@lemmy.world•Plex increasing Lifetime Plex Pass cost to whopping $750English
81·3 months agoThey have a sorta proprietary metadata service that is presumably based on imdb, thetvdb, etc. but they also handle detection and collection of metadata regardless of where the information ultimately comes from. It’s nothing that Jellyfin doesn’t do though.
I’m sticking with Plex since I have the lifetime pass too, but the writing’s on the wall, I’m ready to switch to Jellyfin whenever Plex dies or ruins itself
These sea lions are well trained and familiar with the concept of “play along and acquire fish”
They are very good boys and girls

Technology@lemmy.world•Plex increasing Lifetime Plex Pass cost to whopping $750English
413·3 months agoThey provide the apps, metadata servers, and relay service. It’s a lifetime pass. IMO that’s worth the price it used to be, $70 or whatever. The new price is just absurd, they want you to pay periodically for life because people spend more that way.

Not CPU limited, actually the opposite. It targets games where the CPU is frequently waiting for the GPU to catch up. It fixes a defect in the AMD pstate driver’s active (EPP guided) mode that would cause the CPU to be treated like it’s idle if it’s often taking short sleeps, even if it’s actually quite busy.
