Yes, they are Arch and Fedora Atomic variants respectively and don't require any accounts or corporate affiliation.

For the life of me I cannot figure out why we do not have a successful Windows Forms-like toolkit for the web that took off.
Re:Helldivers 2 devs slash install size from 154GB to 23GB on Wednesday December 03, 2025 @11:54AM (#46136808)
Nixxes has such a good reputation in my book that their name immediately removes any porting-fears when I see they are responsible for a release.
Re:Linux gamers on Steam cross over the 3% mark on Monday November 03, 2025 @10:08AM (#45799857)
Those all have poor reputations. There's a reason why ESEA/FACEIT has been around all this time.

It only says "native notifications". Or did they change the webpage?

Re:GLP-1s Are Breaking Life Insurance on Tuesday July 15, 2025 @07:20AM (#44569994)
I'm in the exact situation you describe:

Overweight due to emotion-eating and stress-eating, taking GLP1.

Now I can binge-eat until I'm full or sick (mostly sick) and maintain weight. If I'd go off GLP1 now my weight would skyrocket.

The "native linux versions" are typically just the windows games with an old build of wine/proton/etc.
The problem of filming/photographing in public is not new and this type of legislation already exists in many (all?) European countries and falls under existing privacy laws...

If a deepfake is made of someone, that person was clearly the subject of the image/video and thus violates his/her privacy. This extra legislation would help protect in case the original image/video was taken with consent (so no privacy issue).

Re:Ruby on Rails Audit Complete on Sunday June 15, 2025 @09:49AM (#44282291)
It does now, but it took a few years for rails to do what nodejs did when it came out (the live chat demo app).

I keep reading about a shortage of phoenix jobs. Any advice?
Re:Ask HN: Anyone making a living from a paid API? on Sunday June 01, 2025 @02:32PM (#44152835)
cloud reps get commission for services sold via their marketplace. Often they even have a bigger financial incentive to sell third party products over native GCP/Azure stuff.
Interesting how this is perceived as impressive (and it is!), but we had runescape running in the browser over 20 years ago already.

I believe you are referring to their community forum. The link to "their own website" is in the left sidebar.
I haven't seen American cybersecurity companies share meaningful threat intel about any American threat campaigns. This is not new.

that's really impressive.
Of course, local climate is also a huge factor. You also see that within EU and USA.

> Hybrid cars only make sense from a CO2 perspective if you charge them and drive exclusively on electricity inside cities, with only an occasional fuel refill before long distance trips.

For many people the local fiscal perspective outweighs the CO2 perspective. Hybrids are often financially speaking more interesting than thermal due to tax incentives.

Re:LibreOffice 400M Downloads, and Counting on Thursday January 30, 2025 @12:23PM (#42879903)
I believe it's understood that OnlyOffice devs are (mostly) Russian. And that in todays world Russian software companies have to go through hoops to be able to send/receive invoices/contracts/etc.

Some parts of their portfolio are not FOSS, these are the components in the commercial edition (the hosted/embeddable version of onlyoffice).

I have customers running OnlyOffice and we've never seen anything suspicious in our security tooling.

So I believe it comes down to your opinion/mindset around the whole Russia thing.

This all sounds very similar to the hundreds of excel/spreadsheet "killers" out there.

But excel math is easy to outperform, ChatGPT etc wont be.

How is it possible that the labour force suddenly produced all those tech workers domestically during a pandemic?

What's not adding up is the qualifications of those people that got overhired.

Might also be dependent on your location.

I have a EU model (LG) and I was able to decline some privacy popups which gives me a functional but dumbed-down version of the OS.

Mind blowing.

They reduce overal risk to the business while having bearable impact (ransomware also hogs CPU, RAM, disk and net).
