it’s the default solution in my house because of the cats

arch v debian?

LESS CHOICE!

Choice is only exciting for us techheads. Too much of it actively harms adoption.

and they just dropped support for pascal :/

he literally said it was not one of the features cherry picked to be reimplemented. So he did say, paraphrased, “because we couldn’t be bothered”

the reason is literally “because we decided not to implement it”

Saved you a click.

doesn’t change anything if you can’t avoid having to write the unsafe parts

windows 10 never had a fullscreen start menu (enabled by default). 7 never had it in any way.

If the start menu was fullscreen on 10, it’s because you explicitly enabled it. It’s not the default.

that’s windows 8

you seem to be confusing an operating system for the user interface. An os can (and regularly does) have more than one interface. In this case steamos ships with two of them. One they designed which is targeted for games. And they also ship plasma as a desktop environment for those who need it. The operating system lies under all that, and you can launch any piece of software from either of the interfaces. (or the terminal, that counts as a 3rd way to interact with the computer, I guess)

as amazing as snake was as a toy on phones, it still doesn’t make sense to put a copy of snake in outlook. Or notepad, or paint, or office, or as an always available widget in the task bar

because they haven’t? We don’t want any changes to our ability to install software. This would still kill f-droid, and the “flow” they talked about isn’t a system wide setting. You have to do it per app. And you, the owner of the divice who just wants to install something on your device, would have to register. So if too many people install the app, the dev would be forced to register as well.

How is any of that “listening to user feedback”?

they are widely known to be the smartest creatures on earth, followed by dolphins, and then us

speakers are analog devices by nature.

The other two are used for the distortions they introduce, so quite literally lower fidelity. Whether some people like those distortions is irrelevant.

You want high fidelity: lossless digital audio formats.

what audio tech uses analog for better fidelity?

banks have the most obnoxious, yet the stupidest security measures.

at least two, you can’t stuff a rocket full of just gpus, you need something to actually dock and deliver the payload in space. So you need to launch at least 2 rockets (in a non-reusable configuration, so you need to pay for the whole rocket and the launch) to ship a bunch of gpus that are, at best, only 10% as fast as usual.

they did think of it. lots of people have. I just mentioned what was required. Rad hardened processors are usually 10 to 20 times slower than what we have on the surface

and the infrastructure and robotics to replace them, of course.

Assuming 200 nvidia H100 failures a day (conservativo, reality is worse) that’s an extra ~340kg of weight you’d need to launch per day. Which is an extra 120 tons yearly.

and forget about running 4nm chips in space. shit has to be radiation hardened, which means bigger process nodes and higher energy cost, and lower speed
