Let's hope that things will keep improving so the user share can increase and people will stop depending on Windows

Intel to lay off around 15,000 staff as they try make $10 billion in savings gamingonlinux.com/2024/08/inte…

#Intel

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

Maybe they should make better processors instead... They are fast, sure, but at cost of idiotic power and heat demands. It's so bad, idea of buying Intel CPU doesn't even cross my mind when AMD has so much better CPU's.

in reply to Eugen Rochko

maybe stupid question. If you love analog photos, how does digitizing them to share online affects the photo itself. Digitalization can introduce variants, depending on resolution, color correction, etc. It might be that what we see is not what you have and at that point, does it still make sense if we can’t see your photo in its own unicity?

do you happen to know how well Baldur's Gate 3 plays on deck? I want to play it, but remember reading it was rough.


Well I've cut up all the interesting parts of the System76 call, now to get started on putting it together

The textbook Humans R Social Media, which I use in my Intro to Social Media class, now has a new edition: opentextbooks.library.arizona.…

It includes a new chapter from me on "Regulation," improvements suggested by my students, and a governance model I helped develop with lead author Diana Daly.

I remember seeing a comparative analysis between municipality owned DSOs vs big private company DSOs in Sweden. Results showed that public DSOs were cheaper to the user, better, monetary benefits all staying locally. I can try to see if I could find it again if it's of interest

This is an amazing ad. It uses some amazing music. And I hear Joe Biden say uplifting things about "our country" to the song "The Voice" by Australian artist John Farnham. Wheee! Am I supposed to be happy for Australia or the US? hehehe!

youtu.be/vRe2f2CCVHY?si=AkZCQB…

in reply to Muse

heh! agreed, @Muse - but such is our egalitarian society: we're racist to everyone irregardless of skin tone or country of origin until they start making lotsa moneh then they're suddenly "Australian!". At least we dont wait until they're dead, i guess :/

"Thompson was initially doubtful if Farnham was able to do the song justice, as he only knew the singer from the novelty song "Sadie (The Cleaning Lady)", which Farnham had performed about 18 years prior as a teenager. Thompson later admitted in an interview that his reaction to Farnham was "You've got to be joking. He's not doing it" The winning touch: bagpipes 😁
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You're_t…

here's hoping the US has more luck with the blursed song

@Muse
in reply to Muse

just as an aside, the song was also used by anti-vax'ers much to the disgruntlement of Whispering Jack. The same mob that unknowingly serenaded Scienceworks (with Darryl Braithwaites "Horses". We dont know why. he was also unimpressed) from the West Gate. before heading off for Parliament House which they couldnt find - some ended up at Bamboo House, some at KFC, some were seen wandering Vic Market and may still be there today..


My interview from yesterday is now up on the BBC Inside Science podcast: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0021jqc

I am extremely happy about how it came out! They let me have the final word about how there is a limit to how much stuff we can have in orbit, period, without serious consequences.

(And you all who saw my posts yesterday can have a small chuckle about how they edited my "lorry not semi" comparison haha)
