glances over at HP laptop I requested a replacement for 6 months ago because it overheats if I have a video call on and a spreadsheet open

I'm almost a year in to a job where I was given this task with no admin access on my local windows machine, with a team that had never used an IDE or git before, and with only Google Drive as my allowed cloud tool. When I got here everything was just a bunch of Jupyter notebooks that would get run in Google Collab that were stored haphazardly over a shared Google Drive.

It's been a slog, but Python for Windows, VSCode, Git for Windows, and Poetry can all be installed without admin access, and we got limited access to Azure DevOps. I've taught my team how to use powershell, git, VSCode, and Poetry, and taught them about testing and documentation (this is a slowwww process). We finally got a desktop computer with admin access this week that we can RDP into (that I requested basically right when I started), so we can run scheduled tasks on Windows and hack together some kind of a CI/CD system. We started a wiki on Azure, have most of our stuff documented and in a well organized monorepo, and track our work in boards now.

Now that other teams are starting to see how we're doing things, they want in, too. Thank god these people are wonderful and excited to learn because otherwise this would be very frustrating.

Ryujinx did everything right and legal. Let's see how Nintendo supporters try to justify this one.

Also, the fact that they're backed by a bunch of web3/crypto companies is not great. They say they're not a web3 company, but it sounds like they're building UI and tools specifically for Sui wallet and crypto games and letting users opt-out of these "features".

I don't want to touch that with a 10-foot pole.

Since this change is entirely a result of the bad behavior of the maintainer and would not have happened otherwise, this a perfect example of why we fundamentally cannot separate the work from the people who make it.

Even if you do not agree with the social backlash this person is getting, that backlash has real effects on the work.

I, for one, no longer trust that hyprland will remain a well-maintained piece of software given that the maintainer would rather increase their maintenance burden and diverge from using common tools instead of cooperating with the community.

very cool. don't see a license, though. no open source license => not open source.

I just opened up Google Earth in Firefox to see what would happen. It's buttery smooth with basically zero lag on loading assets, and zero lag zooming and dragging around on my 240Hz display.

I have a 1gbps symmetric fiber connection and I'm running NixOS. my Firefox Nix Home Manager config is here:

The todo.txt format and the software being built around it.

Namely sleek and ntodotxt

Alacritty is really nice and easy to configure, and isn't "tied" to any desktop environment, like Konsole is. Kitty is really cool for its implementation of image display. Foot is a Wayland-native alternative that is also really nice to use.

Didn't Anker/eufy have pretty much the same issue a.couple years ago?

Or maybe Texas could get its grid connected to the nearby grids so that dips like this are less of an issue.

I wouldn't call this a janky solution at all. The jank is the "smart" TV itself. I use an Nvidia shield to get the most out of my 4k OLED TV, but otherwise do pretty much the same thing. I put my TV on a VLAN that doesn't have Internet access, too.
