Wow, I’ve been using paint.net on windows for years, and Pinta on Manjaro for even longer. I had no idea Pinta was a clone of Paint.net. TIL

Correct

Honestly, for me the Forgejo/Codeberg UI is the best out there, I actually like it even better than GitHub. I think you just need to get used to it. If you had been using Codeberg the last 10 years and just discovered GitHub today, you’d take one look at it and say the UI is bad.

“we built this decentralized federated source code control system!”, great let’s get everyone to put all their code in one central location.

If that’s the case, then you’re using it wrong. It’s possible to use AI to cover most of the boring parts and leave you to do the fun parts.

I see the same thing in the software industry. Programming is something where it’s perfectly common to need to have cheat sheets at your desk and reference the documentation regularly. But freshly graduated students think that’s cheating. They’re convinced they need to memorise all aspects of a programming language and it’s standard library. The amount of new information I take in every day, it would be impossible to remember everything. The real skill is information retrieval, being able to look up what you need to know when you need it.

I’m not justifying any ICE actions. Why would you think that?

I agree. I didn’t say it does.

As an Australian, this is frightening to see.

I’m glad this is being covered by an Australian news agency, to bring visibility to it.

If it’s anything like the e-pedals used in Subaru and Honda vehicles, they should have two different independent position sensors in the pedal. The ecu monitors both, and the value from both must match. If there is a discrepancy, it uses the lower value or zero. So it’s extremely unlikely the pedal could malfunction in a way to show 100% pressed.

But I don’t know if Tesla does the same.

There are some countries in Europe that have naturally occuring carbonated mineral water springs, they tap them and you can drink from them.

Thats right. The word “computer” in this article can mean anything with a microcontroller in it. Any car built after 1996 legally must have an OBD port, so it has a diagnostic computer at least. All cars with fuel injectors have an engine computer. All cars with air bags will have a computer that controls when they go off. Even some cars with cruise control in the 90s had a cruise computer that monitors and controls the speed.

I don’t know what my point is, just that I agree, having lots of microcontrollers in your car is not necessarily bad thing, they provide many facets of basic functionality and don’t collect your data. And journalists like sensational headlines and fear mongering.

The answer is right there in the fist paragraph, and in more detail if you read the whole article.

The author uses kmscon, that is a usermode console with proper graphics drivers, hi res rendering, and UTF8 font support. There is no desktop environment used.

I suspect that is where the italics support is coming from. Makes me want to try it out.

I’ve been planning for a while to build a small ARM based cyberdeck style survival PC. It would have a big modular battery, transflective LCD, external wifi, and an SDR. Looks like this thing has many of those features in a tiny little build.

This one is more like a very advanced raspberry pi. It is a powerful computer in your pocket with network jacks, wifi, Bluetooth and HDMI. It can be used for network analysis, penetration testing, software development. What it will actually be used for: plugging into your TV to stream movies.

Exactly right. I would never build a gaming PC with less than 16GB these days. And for friends and family, I’d push them to try to go with 32GB if their budget extends to it.

The sweet spot is probably around 24GB, but then you’re mixing module sizes.

Yes, it’s a common practice that’s been done right back to PS2 and Xbox360 days.

Damn I feel like I only just upgraded to v14. Those guys develop fast.

An eReader’s literally only job is to format, reflow, render and display ePubs. If you have one that can’t do that, then it is a fancy coaster at best.

There’s not really any advantage of using txt files over open standard drm-free epubs. You can still generate them yourself using txt editors or publishing software, you can still load them over USB. But epubs give you quality of life features on eReaders like title pages, table of contents, chapter headers, formatting markers like bold and italics.
