Kernel Graphics Driver Changes Already Begin Lining Up For Linux 6.20~7.0
Even before the Linux 6.19 merge window wrapped up this weekend with the Linux 6.19-rc1 release, there was already the first pull request to DRM-Next of the first batch of new material to be queued for Linux 6.19's successor...

According to Discord on Reddit, this is "not intended as a long term fix" (see: www.reddit.com/r/discordapp...). However, I can't help but wonder if there are more underlying issues at hand here; I'm not the only one that thinks 4 GB of RAM for a /chat/ app is a lot.

Discord admits Windows 11 app hogs RAM, tries solving it with auto-restarts
The popular chat and voice/video call platform is testing a crude solution: self-restarting the app when it uses too much memory.

As the topic of Game of the Year comes around, I'm reminded that I've barely played games this year.
Except for Morrowind. But I can't keep making Morrowind my GOTY.

A new year is coming, now comes yet another reminder to check on your personal backups. Are they still accessible, have you synced them, and how many storage mediums are they stored in? Remember to use tiered backup.
More importantly, have you made sure to feed the cerberus that guards them?

Am I confident that I will be able to record anything this week? No. Will I try anyway? No. However, will I rot in bed with my fever, thinking about recording a video? Yes, that's precisely what I am doing.

In the RPG community, statements that shouldn't be controversial in any way -- like "you should read the rulebook before playing the game" -- are instead seen as radical and unreasonable because D&D's core rules are 900+ pages.

Ad block as a whole has evolved from a method of rejecting advertisements to a tool to reclaim what little usability is left on the modern web. Therefore, means to reject ad block are, curiously, a fantastic way to hasten the ruin and deterioration of the web.

There's a part of me that, as a new YouTuber/VTuber, is glad to receive a fairly-earned dislike on my videos. Please, if you dislike the video in any way, a dislike is warranted--that's what the button is for, yes! YouTube might /not/ show it to you, but a dislike it still shown for the creator.

It's Monday, which means that it's as good of a day as any to test out Wayland again on this aging and dying 2012 laptop.

In the LTT x Linus Torvalds video, Linus T. spoke of fragmentation of distros in a very nuanced—albeit brief—manner: it /is/ terrible for app developers. Major distros know this and they /wish/ they're THE distro that unified everyone.
Advancements like AppImage alleviate this, but it's not a cure.

Intel Finally Posts Open-Source Gaudi 3 Driver Code For The Linux Kernel
The good news is that Intel tonight posted a pull request for open-source Gaudi 3 accelerator support for the mainline Linux kernel! The bad news is that it's coming quite late in the product cycle, much later than the former excellent Habana Labs open-source track record, and their hopes of squeezing this code into the Linux 6.19 kernel may be dashed...

it pisses me off SO MUCH that pattern recognition in images or multivariate correlation characterization or whatnot is now lumped in with the most useless thing ever, statistical text generation, and not only lumped in but apparently Sam's stupid text model is the standard bearer for all tech now

Whilst figuring out a Git commit title and commit message can be perplexing, and for a personal project I couldn't care less, sometimes I wish people can employ more thoughts than "asdf" or "fix" -- I love reading your thoughts as the developer for why you did those things; I can learn from you!

In the future, I may upload videos with code that I'd like to share. I genuinely thought about writing those on a Google Docs--figuring that they will simply be snippets--but that part of my brain has been thoroughly smacked with a folding chair.
So, to #Git and #Codeberg I go!

Although invoking print() is in no way a professional method of debugging, there is something oddly cathartic in doing so.

"It's difficult, but it's worth it" are words to live by. We don't create because it's easy—art is a product of blood, sweat, and tears—but because we know the effort is what lets us express our thoughts and ideals earnestly.

I thought it fascinating how smartphones have exploded in capabilities within the span of 15 years -- it took us nearly 10 years to jump from the 486 to the P3, but even then the gap /that/ created didn't feel as massive as a jump from MSM7225 to SM8450, for example.
