Podman is a decent solution too, but I’m a heavy docker user and felt podman always needed special attention. DX with Docker and devcontainers as a first class citizen solves a lot of problems www.reddit.com/r/Bazzite…

It always struck me that if gaming is in the mix, why not get the distro that puts it first? Docker is less fussy than a new release Steam game so Bazzite just seems like the logical choice. I use it heedlessly for work so game mode works out well for me. If I used it as a desktop and didn’t care about gaming then bluefin all the way www.reddit.com/r/Bazzite…

Very interesting, do you have any projects using it? Curious how it performs and what kind of commerce support it has so far. I think the AI accelerator angle is great, most buisnesses that build with Laravel and these kinds of frameworks want this kind of thing provided you can give them a sandbox to work within www.reddit.com/r/PHP/com…

in my experience, small sass apps like this really end up being a proxy service to sell yourself and your insights into businesses.

At first, but it’s all pretty navigable and it really hasn’t been an issue. rpm-ostree lets you install rpms, flatpaks are great, brew is available for quick tools, and with Bazzite DX you get docker and vscode. It just feels like a computer. www.reddit.com/r/Bazzite…

I do web development mostly, but I dabble in everything. I like to work from my Macbook because it’s nicer, but I have my bazzite system available through ssh and use it as a host for docker and many other things. Claude Code becoming my tool of choice for development, and claude remote-control is a nice way to link up several boxes to one unified interface in Claude where you can trigger devcontainers and expose the ports via cloudflared.

I gave up on Star Trek during Picard Season 2 so maybe something has changed but from the trailer I saw it seems no lessons were learned and it clearly would just be rage bait for me to watch. Having said that, I think there’s age and demographic differences where what I dislike might appeal to others so your milage may vary. Suffice to say it doesn’t seem like a return to form, so I’ll respectfully pass.

I was under the impression that the open nvidia drivers couldn’t run most games, so a little surprised to see it suggested. So be wary! www.reddit.com/r/Bazzite…

4070 and the 9950x and everything plays fine maxed out at 4k, I scale down DOOM Dark Ages to 3k on my 5k2k Ultrawide with low RTX settings so it can’t do everything. I’m coming from a 7800x3d and it seems like it games slightly better www.reddit.com/r/linux_g…

Random display issues can be normal. I never encountered this though but at least for me (Nvidia RTX 4070) I see weirdness sometimes between games or if I plug in an extra monitor during a session. It gets better over time, Nvidia support is still new. Other chips are more stable but the same basic rules still apply www.reddit.com/r/Bazzite…

Some people get ahead of themselves, not the worst quality. You should obviously recognize she’s in over her head, but if she’s otherwise a decent person then give her some patience and talk this stuff out.

AEM 6.5 is dying a slow but inevitable death, AEM as a Cloud Service will be around for many years to come but is not where Adobe is putting emphasis. Adobe sees the future of AEM as Edge Delivery Services (see aem.live) and Universal Editor (experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/e… which actually shows that Adobe is trying to reach parity with AEM Classic). They believe that customizations should migrate to Adobe Developer App Builder.

There’s also homebrew support, which installs packages to your home directory and is a nice way to bring common tools into the system without dealing with flatpaks i.e. `brew install rclone`. For GUI apps, flatpaks seem worth the frustration as it’s generally been more stable, and flatpaks give you some containerized niceties that feel more modern i.e. I need to tell syncthing about my mounted drive otherwise it’s outside of it’s sandbox meaning it’s not liable to dirty up my installation.

I can’t run AC: Shadows, and Diablo 4 tends to crash the graphics card on exit and I need to hard reboot. Also, sometimes the side-menu becomes visually unreadable which I assume is some compositor issue. Beyond these three things, it actually is quite stable and seems to run everything. Pretty good so far, I’m enjoying it and the immutable os makes it feels stable enough. Unlike traditional installs, when it blows up in my face I can usually bail it out with ujust.

It’s worth learning because it will be in the market for the next decade, but Adobe believes Edge Delivery Services is the future of AEM and has actively started building that out and migrating customers to it. EDS with Universal Editor still expects AEM for content persistence so expertise is important in the foreseeable future even as they sunset it. The virtue of learning AEM is that it, in essence, is an Ingres to more modern headless development by way of SPAs, Universal Editor, and even EDS which is analogous to gitflow-driven static site generation while still giving you enough pain and frustration to teach you about traditional monolith development.

GNOME is fantastic and has a lot of common with MacOS. From my standpoint, the biggest thing you lose is the headphones sync between devices which can be an irreplaceable feature if you have enough devices to share them between. Other than that, it feels like mostly small potatoes. SMS Message sync can be replaced with qtconnect, Google Voice or the Android Messages web app… there’s options. Chrome is mostly a decent replacement for Safari, especially if you have an Android TV or Chromecasts and all that.

The thing is, we eat at these luncheons maybe once every dozen or so occassions, so I am effectively imposing a diet on other people.

Seems like you know the answer then. I think the pollution toll of actually feeding your staff is tolerable.

I know, it’s needlessly confusing. I say just add Emulation Station and play most ROMs through that. Here’s how (from memory): Open Steam ROM Manager on the left-hand list enable the “Emulators” one then click the top “Preview” link near the top of the sidebar Click “Generate App List” It should add a bunch of emulators, make sure Emulation Station is in the list Save so it stores it in Steam Then, go into steam delete the other emulator entries because you only care about ES Launch Emulation Station, and your ROMs should be here HTH

I found Noom to be quite helpful at first, it’s methods are very useful and I’ve lost like 60 pounds so far following them. I don’t like it’s app though, and once it started to not work on my phone I switched to MyFitnessPal. The noom methodology emphasises education and thoughtfulness, which once you learn what they are teaching you really can’t help but view things differently. Once you are armed with the knowledge, I think it’s fine to abandon noom for cheaper apps.

Hardware compatibility largely comes down to your kernel version. The other major consideration is firmware, which some distros like Fedora can manage and update for you through tools like fwupdmgr, what firmwares are available largely depend on the package repos you are using. There’s also the ability to run some Windows WIFI drivers on Linux using ndiswrapper which can be useful if your wifi card doesn’t have native kernel support. Either way, it’s usually a good idea to look up your system on something like the Arch Wiki and check out compatibility and see if there are any changes you should make to improve compatibility.

I think the productive way to think of this is that the writers are just trying to use Star Trek as a backdrop set dressing. They have no interest in the history of the universe.

They do write a few tie-in episodes, but I think in basically all cases you could classify them as homages to specific concepts or key episodes.

It’s hard to say. Personally, I think the Roddenberry formula was paramount to getting the feel of Star Trek right, but I think Trek is at its best when it’s a bit more self-aware. DS9 is probably my favorite series in all, but that’s because it took tropes defined in TNG (which is a seminal TV series, generally, to my mind) and tested them on a regular basis. I find that kind of departure very compelling.

For the most part, Star Trek is a hard-science universe and encourages us to view religions in that context. DS9 and TNG, for example, it’s clear that humans are generally atheists. When Picard interfered with that proto-Vulcan culture, he wouldn’t play to their belief systems because he refused to lead them down a bronze-age religious path. DS9 shows it fairly well, the Bajorans see the wormhole aliens as the prophets, but even to people who have witnessed them firsthand they still wouldn’t call them prophets regularly.

Apple has lightning in a bottle with the M1, if they can get other OSs to run on it they may effectively dominate the consumer market until down the line when someone builds a competing chip or a government steps in. www.reddit.com/r/linux/c…

So I feel like you can pause it at the first point. The video makes a claim that Biden describes black kids as “super-predators” and then shows a series of video clips as proof but he doesn’t once use the term, or in his remarks did he refer to anyone by race. www.reddit.com/r/Liberta…

As someone on Facebook said when I critiqued Disco, it’s cool if you don’t like it as long as you don’t try and ruin it for those who do. That’s basically my approach, I’ve loved enough Trek to know that I don’t like Disco, and I suppose a silver lining is that it can be a gateway drug to the rest of the franchise. It doesn’t really matter, 90’s Trek stands on it’s own so Picard and Disco can’t really tarnish it.

I think most proper docks do this, but check out Dell’s WD-15 it does it all with one type-c www.reddit.com/r/Surface…

As a life-long South Carolinian, I can vouch for Rodney Scotts that place has incredible food. I’d suggest checking out the CoC area, King St. and the like, plenty to do and see. The battery and the old market are also great choices. www.reddit.com/r/southca…

I’ve noticed that bold moves often work out and that if you aren’t happy then making one is usually a good idea. Congrats OP www.reddit.com/r/self/co…

This is a total gem, probably the best Trek commercial I’ve seen. Nice little cherry on top that it’s selling something so thoroughly obsolete as a land-line based long distance plan. www.reddit.com/r/startre…

I bought my i5 slate near the launch and I still use it all the time. Significantly better than using a Surface, iPad Pro gives me a twinge of envy www.reddit.com/r/chromeo…

I switched from my mainstay Fedora 32 with GNOME to KDE Neon about a month ago, after playing with a couple of desktop options. I’m about to go into the reboot after installing this update, but so far KDE plus Latte Dock has been a great place to live. I decided that even with the older release of Ubuntu, that the real goal for getting the latest packages was to get new destkop packages, and Neon is basically as fresh as it gets as far as that goes.

I’d also make plans to not go in gas stations, use rest stops, not just outside of Myrtle Beach but basically in all of SC. I’d generally consider a straight-shot to the condo. I also think I’d do grocery delivery, Myrtle Beach sounds like a shitshow these days. www.reddit.com/r/southca…

I read the article and thought her claims had merit, i don’t understand all the vitriol in this thread www.reddit.com/r/enterta…

Throwback to an earlier time, these days I can watch YouTube on my alarm clock and turn off the lights with your voice www.reddit.com/r/funny/c…

Considering they did release bootcamp, I would suggest that it’s not out of the question that they may eventually provide some kind of multi-boot support for ARM varients of Linux and Windows. I imagine it comes down to technical feasibility. www.reddit.com/r/apple/c…

The last couple of seasons of Angel are legitimately better than the best of Buffy. If you don’t want to sit through the bad stuff maybe just follow Spike along when he jumps to that show. www.reddit.com/r/buffy/c…

Season 1 of ENT has some great episodes, if you can sit through seven seasons of Voyager for one or two gems, you can definitely watch ENT which has more great episodes than bad ones. www.reddit.com/r/startre…

A $40k car is super nice, I think I’d just give him the rest in cash if it’s not a money issue for you. A free car and he keeps all his cash seems totally in the spirit of things. I suppose if he wants to waste his cash on more car that’s on him. www.reddit.com/r/relatio…

Practically speaking, as soon as he speaks the words “Picard to Data”, the data connection is made. So you may be working with a 2-3 second delay, but this isn’t unheard of today in a video or voice call, so even with the initial delay it would hardly be noticable. Then consider they could cut silence or slightly speed up buffered audio until it catches up. www.reddit.com/r/Daystro…

You’ll notice that everyone here is assuming the device runs Android. For most people, a device that isn’t running a mainstream OS like Android would be DOA. In that sense, ‘software’ is the main consideration in a phone purchase. www.reddit.com/r/Android…

You should try Windows 10 in Tablet Mode, if you hide the taskbar in Tablet Mode, it should give you roughly the same experience as Windows 8. I too think Windows 8 was something special, but it’s more-or-less intact in Windows 10. Alos, not getting updates is huge, not only does that mean security issues are bound to come up and your data isn’t secure, it also means that drivers and software updates can’t improve performance and fix issues that could cause crashes.

It’s a trope where each Trek species uses some human template, but with one or two attributes added or amplified. So it’s only natural all the Trek species would find Humans endearing. www.reddit.com/r/Daystro…

Not that I’m really interested in defending this video, but isn’t it possible that he thought he was being personable and thought people would take him as more genuine if he acted like he was trying to form some bond with these kids?

“Captain Proton” is a holonovel in Star Trek: Voyager, it’s based on 1930’s sci-fi. They explore it in several episodes https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Captain_Proton www.reddit.com/r/scifi/c…

I can honestly understand both sides of this issue, but it seems the problem is this divide based purely on gender. Surely there’s another way we could group athletes where gender isn’t the only concern? www.reddit.com/r/Liberta…

This is a good troll because these guys know all too well that Windows 10 is close enough to Windows 7 that they’d never release the source code. www.reddit.com/r/windows…

I had good experiences overall, met a lot of girls - many of them found fault in me and we only went on one date, but I saw several girls a few times and sometimes even hear from one or two out of the blue. But eventually, after about six months of taking it seriously, I met my current girlfriend whom I love to death and have been with for going on five years now.

At this point, I’m just here to see how long it goes, but there was a point where all I wanted was updates on a series I liked. I wouldn’t have even known there was a deadline to be missed, had it not been for this sub and it’s lack of chill. www.reddit.com/r/mother4…

Adobe should want everyone to feel like they need a Creative Cloud license. If any of it worked on Linux, I might even see the appeal and push my company to get me one. Linux is just another platform to target, one a lot of professionals use and is sorely missing a decent creative suite. So is my Chromebook, for that matter. I thought Adobe was all about this cross-platform stuff, seeing them target an iPadOS version of Photoshop is disappointing.

Compared to the other Changelings, Odo isn’t a very good shapeshifter.

I got one of these last week, I like it a lot so far. The major issue I’ve had so far is with the two WD-15 docks I own. The one at work works more-or-less, but it doesn’t bring the system out of standby. At home, the display has stopped working. This reminds me of the early days of my XPS 9550 (same laptop, a few generations ago) and these problems were totally solved by the time this laptop came along.

Seems like it would go far beyond this. Imagine a world where you go to work in a Holodeck; you enter the room, you say you want to go to Starfleet Command, and it appears around you, while simultaneously a hologram of you appears in the actual building somewhere in San Fransisco. Imagine you meet a girl there, and decide to have dinner with her. Perhaps she’s on the Enterprise, and you’re on DS9, if you both have access to a holodeck, why not just have the date virtually in the holodeck?

I will say that the social benefits are something you are already bringing to the table, I wouldn’t be so quick to attribute them to the drug. www.reddit.com/r/Drugs/c…

The thing to know about smoking cigarettes is that you feel better after smoking them because your body misses the nicotine and made you feel like shit so you’d smoke one. True story. www.reddit.com/r/Drugs/c…

I would say one leg up many Linux users have is they have experienced installing it from scratch, and therefore know they can do it again if they end up breaking everything.

This is ironic, because the Pixel Slate is an outstanding tablet for running Chrome. Far better experience than using it on any Windows tablet. Google’s touch controls are fully compatible with Chrome, power management and battery life on a Pixel outperform my defunct Surface Pro 4. I hope they continue to improve the tablet experience, otherwise this $1000 Pixel Slate i5 might not have been such a great purchase after all.

This is like a list of regressions and things you can add through extensions.gnome.org. The thing to keep in mind is GNOME is part design philosophy, the vanilla experience is spartan but GNOME gives a lot under the hood for apps to take advantage. Granted, I don’t think the project is quite there yet as GNOME 3.x is meant to be an in-progress desktop. Still, it seems the author would be happier with some other GNOME-based DE’s that are designed to give him the (rather old-school) UX he seeks.

Go ahead and bring it up, if you like it and your talking about your likes, what’s wrong with it? If she hears Trek and wants to bail you weren’t going to like her anyways.

The best way to do this is with Google’s Remote Desktop implementation https://remotedesktop.google.com/ .

Sometimes people are needlessly abrasive and adversarial, in my experience these are oftentimes decent enough people but for whatever reason can’t fathom why their boarish behavior would ever bother anymore. It sounds like he sucks up all the oxygen in the room and nobody on his team is willing to confront them. In my experience, these assholes are people too and when you get to know them you’ll find a way to look past their behavior.

I’m writing this on an i5 slate and I like it a lot. If you primarily use Chrome and like the idea of running Android or Linux apps, it’s a great option. Not the most refined OS, but a better experience generally than Windows and the Slate hardware is great. www.reddit.com/r/chromeo…
