What things from the 2020s do you think will age horribly? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

AI programming. I feel like it will get to the point where AI will start writing code that works but nobody can understand or maintain including AI.

If you are able to explain the requirements to an AI so fully that the AI can do it correctly it would have taken shorter time to program by yourself.

AI powered code completion is another story though and I'm looking forward to it.

Trying to build viable third parties by voting for them in presidential elections is like trying to build a third door in your house by repeatedly walking into the wall where you want the door to be. in c/[email protected]

You'll get a boatload of spoiler effect elections until people start voting tactically again. Third parties need to start locally and not participate in the presidential elections for a long time.

There is a path to voter reform by creating hung parliament and require voter reform in a coalition agreement. Once dominant running for governor or a senator becomes possible.

That's probably not going to work. There will be less incentive for companies to work on a game if they can't turn it into money stream. Especially big and expensive games. I think the outline above is pretty fair and a good start. They should throw on top of it banning loot boxes since they essentially develop gambling behavior in children.

Fedora 42 On 64-bit ARM Might Make It Seamless To Run x86/x86_64 Programs in c/[email protected]

We might live in a strange world where it'll be easier to run Windows programs on ARM with Linux than on the OS they're written for.

String/rope. With a couple of knots, loops and tension you can make a lot of things with it.

It's the Internet during US elections.

What Linux distro surprised you the most? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

I think it depends on how you use the OS, Gnome is great until you have a bunch of outdated extensions that break stuff. My impression is that KDE is better for the "advanced" use case and gnome is better for the "default". I tried gnome recently and I found it very pleasant and easy to use but I prefer KDE since it has more customization.

I'd argue it's the other way around. Windows is doing the heavy lifting of being like KDE and when they try to do something themselves everybody hates it.

Sleeping tricks (lemmy.world)
 

I'm looking for sleeping tricks and thought some other people here might have similar issues or good tricks. Can be anything from getting the motivation to go to sleep to actually tricks to falling asleep.

My current trickbook is basically this:

Podcasts, but it has to be in some goldilocks zone of interesting to enough to keep attention but not too good so it gets exciting.

I've also done meditation in bed when falling asleep that tends to work.

Consistent routine is good. Shower, brush teeth, lights off, episode, sleep.

I'm curious to see what other autistic people are working with here.

Chrono Trigger (SNES 1995) (lemmy.world)
 

I'm born in 1992 so this game is a bit before my time. I started playing it and got completely hooked. It's an absolutely fantastic game that would still hold up as a quality indie game today.

Music is amazing. Characters and character development is amazing. Story is very good. Combat is genuinely fun instead of feeling like a chore that cuts you off from the game. Art style is amazing.

I was surprised how much quality they could fit onto the SNES back it the day, it's a really good game and everyone with a potato can ploy it.

Pro tip: Remasters have some UI unpleasantness so it's best to stick to SNES emu version. I tried the Android and they used some native android font that ruined the immersion a bit. There's also a tight running section that's particularly unsuited for the mobile version. SNES is best, as originally intended.

Who of you guys are on an "Unknown" OS? (gs.statcounter.com)
 

I've been wondering how many Linux users are being listed as unknown by statcounter out of curiosity. There has been a big global bump "Unknown".

Obvious ones are UserAgent spoofers Vpn users but I feel like that's pretty niche. I'm wondering if SteamOS, Endeavour and BSD show up as Unknown. Furthermore, will just all non-Ubuntu based OS?

Distro for a local "cloud gaming" no monitor desktop (lemmy.world)

I'm looking for a specific distro to handle some tasks.

I got a second hand rig with Nvidia GTX 1050 that I want to use as a home server. I wanted to use HoloISO but it doesn't support nvidia. If someone says "do it anyway, it's fine" I'll install it though.

The idea is to support a Jellyfin server and Steam Link gaming but steam is not big on Nvidia so it's hard to narrow down "black screen" issues etc. I'm also planning to manage it via VNC and SSH.

I'm familiar with Ubuntu based systems since I develop software on Ubuntu based KDE distro but never had a graphics card.

So it boils down to:

  • Ease of setup including nvidia drivers
  • Ease of update via command line (I'm not going to download nvidia drivers from their website to update proprietary drivers)
  • Graphics performance
  • Prefer Ubuntu based

I'm up for Gnome, Xface, Cinnamon, KDE or whatever DE.

Edit: Changed title to better reflect requirements and not have misleading "headless" and "server" in it
