yeah i’m running a lts distro but keep the kernel up to date, it’s super simple, there’s even gui apps for it

it’s fun for microcontrollers, for when you get bored with software and want to venture out into hardware

true for eg MS’ C++ extensions or copilot - they actively block installing and running it on codium, based on some internal “app name” config of the IDE.

there’s a workaround for that though. install both codium and vsc, install extensions on vsc, symlink the “.vscode” folder to “. vscode-oss”, and edit codium’s app info json (forgot filename) to match vsc’s (mainly the “app name”).

last step needs to be done after each update, but can applied with a script, happy to share if anyone needs it. Just make sure the installed codium- and vsc versions match.

i agree - the last letter in FLOSS stands for software, and everything before that is describing qualities of that software. the term has nothing to do with hardware per say in my opinion.

I’ve recently set up Baikal on a cheap shared host. It doesn’t even need a dedicated database, it just creates a file-based sqlite db. i’ve just copied some files to a php webhost and followed the quickstart guide for setup, i’m pretty happy with the result

worked fine for me. this was always my grievance with gnome, i couldn’t find an option to reliably theme kde apps, so half of my programs looked differently

i’m using it daily, but mainly just to take notes in markdown

kate is not so bad, i use it almost daily to take notes while working

cooklang might be of interest for you then

they’d be more likely to move towards a common way to invade people’s privacy

in a company I worked for, the rule was “estimate any task as if the junior on your team would work on it. then double it.”

including all the overhead from testing, bugfixing, deployments and releases, this turned out to be quite realistic

more recent kde and gnome versions handle it quite well

the difference is really just having kde desktop, which some prefer over gnome

there’s a youtuber working on something similar, maybe yous can join forces: https://youtu.be/OgMdO0ckICg

could be, maybe expectations went up too

garbage in garbage out - sounds like a reasonable take

This thread made my (Wednes) day

Is it just me, or are Github Copilot and ChatGPT getting dumber? I’m quite underwhelmed lately.

yeah, it’s the “standard” cv in the EU, never used anything else really
