Might be related to those sleep state stuff that microsoft keep pushing. I think LTT has a video about how it causes battery to drain while off. I think the solution was either shutting it down while unplugged, or while plugged in or something. If you always shut the laptop down with the charger plugged in try to unplug the charger before shutting it down and see if it makes a difference. Or the opposite. I don't remember which it was.

I tried it briefly. I like the idea of an alternative to VS code, that's not some inefficient javascript electron app. But the focus of zed seems to be on collaboration in cloud and also pushing LLM tools. That's not what I'm looking for. I disliked that it was impossible to hide the "log in to github" button (I don't want to log into an editor). Irked me the wrong way.

The scary thing about this is thinking about potential undetected backdoors similar to this existing in the wild. Hopefully the lessons learned from the xz backdoor will help us to prevent similar backdoors in the future.

It's not useless. It's a gateway drug for getting into linux. "But can your windows PC do this?" is a great way to recruit people to try linux ;)

Until meta starts to slowly block small instances and we end up with the next email. Technically federated, but controlled by a few large corporations that dictates the block lists. Let us block them first so we get to define what the fediverse should look like, not them.

This many extensions in gnome will be fragile. Extensions have a tendency to stop working on gnome updates. The more extensions, the more issues you're gonna have. Though will probably work fine on a stable slow moving distro like debian or something.

Personally I use 3 extensions: dash to dock, app indicators and desktop icons.

If I'm at 127.0.0.1 why would I need to wear a 255.255.255.0?

That kinda sounds like a bad cable. I've had the same issue with both HDMI and DP before and it was solved with a new cable both times 🙂 Display cables are quite hit and miss when it comes to quality.

Analyzing the symptoms, I'm afraid to say, you might have nvidia.

EU is the real MVP. Hoping that a few more years now and we'll have iphone with USB C, app sideloading, user replacable battery. I've never owned an iphone before but if that happens, I might consider one.

I think this is a problem of the capitalist system the ad-based websites exist in. There is an expectation for continuous growth, and if showing ads is the main source of income, the only way to grow after a certain point (user base not growing a lot any more) is to be more and more intrusive to shove more and more ads in the users faces. At some point we're fed up with the ads to the point it is not worth visiting the site anymore.

If growth weren't expected we could have stopped at a reasonable level of ads that are not as intrusive and had a steady income to cover the cost of running the site as long as the users are satisfied. But unfortunately everything anyone wants to use the internet for these days becomes a get rich quick scheme, causing the eventual enshittification of most sites.

This is why I like self hosted services, community funded, non profits, etc. For example wikipedia, and beehaw 🙂. It feels good donating when I can trust that the site owners have good intentions. It does not feel good to pay a subscription to a mega-corporation to avoid ads.
