@BrodieOnLinux so what do you think of Mii beta's take on your Linux origin story? Is it true that you tried out Arch because of their advice? Also please also generate some cringy manga like they did in the video, see youtube.com/watch?v=1ITbm3Gy3y…

😁

I started using it because I was a fan of Luke Smith's content back in the day
in reply to Brodie Robertson

Yeah, Luke Smith did a lot of great "tutorial" videos over the years!

He's adorable! And look at those paws. He's going to be a big boy..

A month ago I found a cute meme on the internet that I thought would look excellent on my office wall. The bottom of the image said “National Park Service” and some quick image searches found it was originally from the nationalparkservice Instagram account, part of a promotional series to encourage park safety. But Instagram resizes things for the web. So, of course, I did what any internet weirdo would do; I filed a DOI FOIA request for the original artwork. Today the DOI found it for me!

Ah yes! I remember those days! We even tatted lace internet covers to keep it dust free between uses.

I was too young during its run to explicitly understand all the progressive themes, but given the way I am now, I have to wonder whether it had the desired effect on me. (If so, then I’m grateful.) All I really understood at the time was that (a) it was a fun show, and (b) I had a crush on the witch.

I’m very happy to learn the show was more than my young mind could grok at the time.

in reply to Muse

I'm sure you were aware that nothing bad was going to happen.

the fact that the fedora looks a lot like the red hat logo adds another layer to the joke, and i quite like it :neofox_uwu:



I have been waiting for Intelligent Speed Assist for cars for a long time! I don't want to speed, but in busy traffic it's easy to miss a speed sign while keeping track of other drivers. So many ways are available to alert people to the speed limit. Why has this taken so long? Well, at least it looks like it is finally coming soon!
in reply to Muse

A lot of new vehicles have cameras to identify speed signs, and some have some annoying beeps if you exceed the current speed. I drove a Mercedes Sprinter this summer with that feature. It also had camera based lane departure warnings (that were really annoying at times). All the big new transport trucks have these features too.

Tesla had been using data in Google Maps (I think) that gives speed limits on most roads (at least in North America), though apparently their newer vehicles use the camera method (as well?). Tesla only display a warning unless you turn on "Joe Mode", in which case you get a not-so-annoying warning bell, and you can adjust it so the warning only happens after some number of units over the posted limit.

Damn, that's tempting, but if it's like any of my other humble bundle purchases, I will never even make a dent in that content.

...huh.

Well, Intel's been making a push for more performant graphics hardware. It'll be interesting to see how it works out here.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

will be curious to see how that works out considering we've been seeing a lot of AMD handhelds
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

Makes sense considering Intel's new chips are finally able to compete with AMD in efficiency. It'll be curious to see how it stacks up in a small form factor.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

I wonder how well their drivers will hand it with a less technical audience. As well as efficiency since they have been a bit behind on that part
