are you literally showing a 2 line change and saying “helix is tainted” because this tiny tiny change was co-authored by claude? lmao come on

If you’re willing to go into the terminal based editor rabbit hole, I recommend going straight to helix, coming from vim/neovim in the past it’s much easier to get into and maintain since it’s batteries included and doesn’t take huge dotfiles to configure it like you want, and the movement feels more intuitive to me than vim’s

mold and sccache help a lot with the compile times

of course nana uses adb exclusively to install apps on her smartphone, after all this is a totally real story about user protection right?

cp of all things

cp might sound simple because its a very necessary thing for an OS to do, but there’s quite some technical depth to each of the core utils, if it were simple people would just be pumping out coreutil practice projects just like they do with “generic CRUD web app 5000”

On my previous phone I used KISS, now I use μLauncher which is really similar to KISS but I think I like slightly more

Interesting, I’d like to see a benchmark comparison of it with Git, both in scenarios with multiple binary assets and in typical scenarios of mostly source code files

The data being publicized isn’t enough to call it open source, if someone decided to create a foss app that copies over new records from the ProtonDB database every night for example, you would still have a diverging dataset if you allow people to insert new records in the new app, and the ProtonDB owners could just decide to not export that data any longer whenever they want.

That could also be true if it were open source, but I’d say it’s much more likely to happen when the main parts of it are proprietary.

You also can’t change the data being Steam specific when the app is closed source and not accepting contributions, a foss app could become as broad or as specific as the community needs it to be.

Yes this is what I was looking for, I suppose most of the ratings and workarounds here would probably also be usable with Proton

I got a tower stand, the bottom of the tower had completely filled with dust and there was no airflow from there, the wheels are also very convenient for cleaning under there.

I also cleaned the dust inside and re-applied new thermal paste, neither of which I had done for quite a while, and it already improved my temps by a lot, about 20 celsius cooler max for both the cpu and gpu.

Here are the temps after a gaming session:

It’s a desktop on the floor under my desk, so there could definitely be some intake airflow problem there. It would be extremely impractical to bring it out, but maybe a human fan would help with that.

It’s the first thing I’m going to do, have to wait a bit until the paste arrives

I was looking for the obligatory ‘I use a tiling WM btw’ comment but it seems that everyone is touching grass here

Finally, the doofus locator

Also pretty obvious from the stupid diagrams AI loves to make in the README

You’ve already done the first step, which is actually using FOSS software. That’s the only way to get real context on what you’re contributing to and find issues or lack of features that bothers you or is incredibly specific to your system or use case, and fix something that maybe would not have come up otherwise or no one would have time to get to.

Filtering issues by ‘Good First Issue’ as someone said is also a really good way to find tasks that are relatively easy to get your feet wet with a codebase. Don’t feel bad about taking on too many of them, it’s better that someone does them all and gains enough experience to become a regular contributor, than the rest of them collecting dust until someone else like you shows up.

Don’t worry too much about not knowing X or Y language, the great thing about being into FOSS is that you get to become a multilingual developer, which is very eye opening and educational as opposed to sticking to a language like Java and never realizing the limitations it has or even the benefits it has relative to other languages, and use that knowledge to be a better engineer overall. It’s easier to learn new languages nowadays, plenty of guides and docs to find, and AI can help for more specialized and context aware questions, just don’t fall into the trap of letting AI do the job for you, you would only be fooling yourself.

Also don’t underestimate the value of small contributions like documentation updates, translations, creating issues, etc. You don’t need to come up with a PR for every issue you create, just finding things and keeping active is enough when you don’t have the time or energy to go the whole way.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!
