Re:Porting Tailscale to Plan 9 on Wednesday April 02, 2025 @01:34PM (#43559144)

This is so cool to see. Plan9 was a wonderful part of my COVID isolation, and I miss playing with it. This might have inspired me to spin up a 9front VM this weekend.

Re:Zed now predicts your next edit with Zeta, our new open model on Friday February 14, 2025 @10:51AM (#43049637)

I got beta access to this and love it. It is much more useful than copilot by itself and very useful for an edit that is a little repetitive. I wish I could run the model locally and given that is open source and they have support for Ollama and other OSS tools, I feel like that would be an amazing feature.

Re:The Truth about College Costs on Wednesday September 27, 2023 @10:27AM (#37675149)

I go to a top-100 private college and I can confirm this experience. Virtually everyone I know has at least a 40-60% tuition "scholarship" (I'm personally on a 60%). I suspected that are university simply had an automatic discount for most people. Didn't realize this was a thing at most private institutions. Fascinating article.

Re:Linux has nearly half of the desktop OS Linux market on Tuesday July 18, 2023 @09:20AM (#36771711)

I agree with the author here, and quite frankly as much as I like GNU/Linux it is a long way from being a usable operating system for my parents and other non-technically inclined people (to the point that I'm writing this on a Mac because I'm in uni and I don't have time to deal with getting the some of the software I have to use to work) I personally hate Chrome OS, but it is a Linux desktop. Now do we want a FOSS GNU/Linux desktop? Yes, and this isn't it. But it is a Linux desktop and should be credited as such.
