As someone who learned the double bass in school, jumping to bass guitar & guitar was super easy cause of the fourth tuning intervals. Anytime I ever jumped on cello, it was a nigh…

I'm on KDE 6, and I don't have a ~/.kde. I think now a days, KDE uses ~/.config and ~/.local/share. Honestly, sometimes I wish the KDE Frameworks had a thing like Dconf, so apps ca…

Anytime I see anything posted by an Iranian on Instagram, there are always people commenting "how much did you pay regime for white sim" or something like that (white sim refers to…

As long as people get hurt and there's research to do, doctors are not going anywhere. Maybe the profession will change, but having a dedicated person/team of people for healthcare…

I have an OG Steam controller. On Linux, whenever I connect to my computer without steam running, it will show up as a standard USB HID device. This means, funny enough, I can use …

SDL2 and SDL3 have steam controller support. Also, now that SDL2-Compat is a thing (alongside sdl12-compat), this means literally every game/software that uses SDL 1-3 for controll…

I remember 4 years ago I was able to setup MacOS in a virtual machine. Maybe you can setup an Intel copy of MacOS on a qemu/kvm virtual machine?

This doesn't affect the web extension, no?

I've used something like this before on my Samsung S24 to see a deleted text from Signal. I checked the notification history and the text was there. Fortunately, Signal has an opti…

Gabe may be a the front man, but he's still like the benevolent dictator for life of Valve. Kind of like how Linux Torvalds is the BDFL of Linux

Pretty sure Gabe's been partying it up in New Zeland ever since he got stuck there because of Covid

Huh, I just saw that. Huge bummer. I have a Radeon RX 6800 and on my system, I use ROCm's OpenCL for some stuff and HIP for blender cycles rendering. If ROCm were to drop support f…

RX 580 is a GCN 4 GPU. I'm pretty sure the bare minimum for ROCm is GCN 5 (Vega) and up.

I've been using ROCm on my Radeon RX 6800 and my Ryzen AI 7 350 systems. I've only used it for GPU-accelerated rendering in Cycles, but I am glad that AMD has an option that isn't …

There is iptables-nft, which is iptables with an NFT backend.

Yes, my bad. I totally agree with that it does indeed suck. I've had to replace the C cover of my laptop before for reasons not related to the keyboard (a screw post broke because …

This isn't an issue with macbook keyboards, a lot of windows laptops have their keyboards riveted to the C cover of a laptop.

I've been on wayland since KDE had it available (like the KDE 5 days) because it offered fractional HiDPI scaling that wasn't buns. As a laptop user, it has been one of the best fe…

The current situation we're facing can be traced back to, in some parts, Trump pulling out of JCPOA and Biden's tepid resistance to Israel's war in Palestine, leading to this situa…

I bought a pair of IEMs. A while back, the cable broke, and I was able to repair by just buying a new cable. Also, I enjoy not having another device to charge. I recently have been…

I wish Arch could learn some lessons from NixOS packaging. One thing that really bothers me about Arch is how many pain points there are in the packaging tooling. Furthermore, I wi…

Glad to see an accessible post of Iranian history

As someone who is an AUR maintainer with at least 150+ packages, I always dread seeing new AUR packages. A lot of people don't read the packaging guidelines, don't use tools like `…
