Genuinely trying to learn here - what's the major advantage of using uv over conda?

(Transparently, I'm posting this before I've completed the article.)

Go ahead and follow the steps to order one, then.
Yes, this is the answer in an ideal world. In practice, it's nearly impossible to buy Sceptre dumb TVs these days.
This attitude of "let's leave politics out of this" is a major contributing factor to this mess we're in.

MI300A's are very fun. very fortunate to have one to mess around on at work.
Perfect timing. Was just about to redo my linux set top box (a beelink mini PC with Arch on it). Fucking pumped to try this out.

Re:I Switched from Flutter and Rust to Rust and Egui on Friday June 27, 2025 @08:23AM (#44396248)
I'm not a UI dev but I have messed with Qt some. Does egui or some other rust framework the same native look that Qt does?
Speaking as an American.

They will be virtually identical, except that there will be far more ads. Perhaps stations in super urban areas will integrate AI into the pump, using your name and level 3 data to market to you hyper-specifically.

Also Arizona teas will no longer say 99¢ on the can.

That other guy must be having a bad day. You've built something cool, most people have not. Sharing projects like this is what I miss about the old internet. I'm sure you're learning lots along the way. Godspeed.

The fact that people actually want this level of surveillance in exchange for a tiny convenience is astounding to me.

Thanks for clarifying, went right over my head!

TAA is temporal anti-aliasing, correct? There is no time dimension here, isn't it just compression + bilinear filtering?

Re:Find Your Footing After Installing Arch Linux on Friday January 24, 2025 @12:02AM (#42810683)
I still use X11 because it just works. I understand that Wayland is the "latest and greatest", but I genuinely do not understand why I need to upgrade yet. Could someone provide an actual tangible example as to why Wayland is "better" than X11? I've only ever heard hand-wavy explanations.

Tight fitting pants + a belt is a sure-fire "stand goal" hack if you drink a lot of water.
Re:Why Linux is not ready for the desktop, the final edition on Monday December 30, 2024 @09:01PM (#42555644)
Philosophy aside, many users actually do not prefer to have ads and data tracking built-in to the devices they use.
Can you recommend the model of TV you settled on? I have been looking for a TV that can be de-smarted for a while now.

Also, are you considering KDE Plasma BigScreen?

Chip War - Chris Miller
A lot of people in this thread complaining about DPIs and similar specs. Am I really the weird one for still thinking a 24" 1080p (≈92 DPI) display is absolutely fine for 99% of tasks?

The people praising 4K now will be calling it shit in just a few years time. Maybe I am coping for not having grown up with HD TV.

This a million times over. This is why Apple will always play third fiddle to Linux and even Windows for power users.
Re:Netflix is removing nearly all of its interactive titles on Friday November 08, 2024 @12:18PM (#42088539)
Isn't this effectively how the interactive materials behave, or am I misunderstanding? It was my understanding that they all were analogous to DVD-style interactive extras where you essentially choose left or right at points in the story.

I am glad to hear this. I enjoyed Bandersnatch, but I do not think it was the right tone for a launch title for this kind of project, personally.
