It caused my brother to stop talking to me. He doesn’t understand how ChatGPT works, so he’s trying to woo his way to GenAI by layering some sort of fake ass natural language computation system on top of the spicy auto complete.

What about Elisa? I was under the (potentially mistaken) assumption that Elisa was the successor of Amarok.

Redox-OS?

So like, it’s really easy to armchair and just say that they should ignore the haters and so on, but having been on the opposite end of a small Internet hate mob, even if you only have like a dozen people telling you that you’re a crook, or a piece of shit, or your stupid or dishonest, or whatever, it doesn’t really matter how accurate any of that is, it really does start to get to you, no matter who you are.

The only healthy option is to log out at that point.

Most closely matches the behavior of actual SNES consoles.

This requires very careful emulation of the timings of the various buses and co-processors, as well as on-cart chips which may or may not be present. For instance, a Speedy Gonzales game has a button in the final stage which crashes almost every emulator because enters an infinite loop reading from an open bus and waiting for the value to attain a specific pattern. However reading from an open bus is generally specified to be the last value loaded into the bus, which in this case is the load instruction itself, $18. So the value is read to be $1818 by most emulators, which doesn’t match the pattern expected.

However, this is only if you’re emulating with instruction level accuracy. It is possible for the value of the bus to change in between the instruction being loaded and the value of the bus being loaded due to an HDMA load being triggered, but this requires a cycle accurate emulator.

Be careful, the small partitions might be UEFI partitions (/boot and /boot/efi) and are required for booting your computer.

Because the nix package manager places all system packages under /nix/store/uniquehash-packagename-version/

Where the unique hash is obtained via a Merkel tree of all the inputs. So in particular, binaries and libraries exist underneath those directories, not in the places you would expect from FHS.

In order to make the system actually work, environment variables are set up and executables are patched to refer to specific paths within the Nix Store.

Considering he seems to be under the impression that OCR still sucks enough that he printed his entire letter, he’s probably not aware of recent computer stuff , (or he just writes like he’s 11, I guess?)

It’s never really clear from this video what exactly is his use case though.

Yes, nominally, but there is a layer called XWayland to support backwards compatibility, so it’s not really a concern.

Use ffmeg, here’s how to do the image part: https://superuser.com/questions/1429256/producing-lossless-video-from-set-of-png-images-using-ffmpeg

To do the audio use the copy option. See here for an example usage: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21567029/ffmpeg-to-duplicate-an-audio-stream-and-encode-this-new-stream

Thanks, I wasn’t sure it worked in sh. I’ve been surprised a lot before by seemingly simple stuff like this.

If you need to pass flags you can use

flatpak run org.inkscape.Inkscape "$@"

To forward all of the arguments to the script. Note that this might be a bashism, so you might need to change your hash bang to /bin/bash as well. Double check though.

(An easy way to check if something is working as you assume is just prepend the line with echo.)

Nix is also working on reproducible builds. In fact, the minimal installation CD for NixOS last release was reproducible. https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nixos-reproducible-builds-minimal-installation-iso-successfully-independently-rebuilt/34756/

Put a shell script in your PATH named inkscape with the following content:

#!/bin/sh

flatpak run org.inkscape.Inkscape

Note that you can use a local folder in your home directory to house small executables and scripts like this, so you don’t have to touch your system config. I generally recommend using something like ~/.local/bin and add it to your PATH via your Shell’s RC file.

If the disc is corrupted it may be failing, recommending ddrescue over dd is probably a better call not knowing anything else about this situation. Essentially, no reason not to use it.

It’s a website that seems to digest other websites and spit them out badly. Here is the original article: https://www.phoronix.com/review/intel-meteorlake-windows-linux

ZFS has encryption now, dunno about the rest

You may be surprised to learn that they didn’t all run out until 2013. UEFI had been around for 7 years by this time, and Microsoft was doing patent enforcement actions against Tom Tom during this time period.

Sure, they’re expired now, but not at the time. It was supposed to be an open standard at the time.
