You've seen me do my hobby, now see me doing my real job:

I like that @bazzite.gg already has the @frameworkcomputer quote from yesterday’s event on the testimonial section of their site. 2025 is the year, it’s going to happen this time.

If you’re a Windows user, I can help you switch to Linux. Please stop supporting an insecure and privacy-intrusive operating system. What’s stopping you from switching to Linux/macOS? Ask all your questions, and I’ll answer everything.

I was just watching Slowmo guys when my Mastodon Tab went rogue and drowned all those slowmo noises.

In case anyone sees this:
Hi! I usually don't post about Regex, but mainly about my Marble Machine sandbox game I am working on in #godotengine. Mixed with some #Linux stuff. And games - PC, Nintendo, Atari and more.

Apparently some tech bros are having to learn the hard way that the creator of #Linux is a leftist

PSA to #rustlang and #linux developers: there is a long-standing bug in the system allocator (glibc malloc) which causes it to hoard large sbrk buffers in arenas. By default, it uses heuristics to dynamically increase the mmap threshold—the point where it switches from using sbrk to mmap. In some scenarios, these larger buffers are never trimmed, causing a memory "leak". Some #libcosmic apps were affected, causing as much as 10-30x memory usage. To fix, see the PR below:

#linux and #unix users will understand this one 😅

100% true 😆

A big battle on Lemmy about why I prefer Chrome/ium instead of Firefox on the old laptops I rescue from the landfills: https://lemmy.ml/post/24202956/15809331

People need to stop thinking with GNU glasses on, and become more objective. The reality is, Chrome is FASTER and uses less RAM than Firefox. This has a HUGE IMPACT on the desktop experience on OLD Pcs (not on your modern PCs, no).

But noooo... we have to support Firefox no matter what. Cultists.

I’ve been using the #Framework laptop 16 for about a month, and it’s almost the perfect #Linux laptop!

Here are my conclusions:

See also this for contributing to #beaconDB via #geoclue:

With the help of @beacondb , I was able to fix geoclue not being able to submit new locations to beaconDB! The MR is here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/geoclue/geoclue/-/merge_requests/192

With that fixed, I made a Linux mobile stumbler that works with geoclue to submit data! You can find it here: https://gitlab.com/kop316/geoclue-stumbler

(Note that you'll need that patch for the stumbler to actually submit data).

SAME STATS, DIFFERENT IMPROVEMENTS...

@programming

After 12 months of managing bugs developers A, B, and C changed their approach.

Whose change is an improvement❓ What's your answer❓

Boosts appreciated! :boost_no: 🙂

More generally, the problem is domain independent.

Ok, I was not expecting this, but everything is working, and it only took 1 hour. I haven't updated the kernel yet, and I wonder if all these kernel changes for older devices have already been added to the official Linux Kernel. I'll leave it like this for a few days to check how it works. Also, there is an App Center now! In my days, we were lucky if we had an installer 😂
