You should always measure first before blindly following dogmas.
Then you follow it by doubting it without measuring:
I doubt that the choice of serialization format is what dominates processor time in this case.
Also note I was not just speaking of today, but with future additions and changes. You can’t measure the future, but you can plan ahead and build upon a good foundation, that the small format can be used for extending it in future. That’s the idea. Also to test what you suggest they have to build the entire system years and waste lot of time and effort.
As explained, its not about the compressed size only. I am talking about uncompressed data that is live patched.

Linux@lemmy.ml•GeForce NOW's Linux app exits beta, gets official Flatpak repo - OMG! Ubuntu
5·3 天前It’s not on Flathub, because of Ai generated code and other assists maybe? https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/requirements#generative-ai-policy
Performance matters a lot, because program can autosave in quick sessions after simple steps. Even more important if multiple images are edited or loaded. While this is not the biggest improvement, it is still something to keep in mind. Performance should always be a priority. Programs will keep expanding and add bloat over time, so its good to have a format like that in mind.
JSON comes with builtin data formats that XML lacks, that’s why you have such overhead with additional validation. Everything in XML is treated as strings, and there are lot of stuff like entities that is totally unneeded for a file format like in GIMP. XML Schema is needed because the format is extremely complicated unlike JSON, if you have no other validation. GIMP itself has validation builtin already.
XML is not really superior to JSON as an image editing file format. EDIT: XML is better, if you want to keep a readable source format with markup. But that is not what a format for an image editing tool like GIMP should be needed for in my opinion.
For the file format, would have been JSON instead XML not the better format? Its lighter and easier to parse and write, meaning more performant than XML.

Linux@lemmy.ml•LightDM is Back From The Dead, But Canonical isn't in Charge Anymore
5·3 天前It didn’t. They were just afk.
I use Arch*, BTW.
*Arch=EndeavourOS
What makes this Chatbot client different from just using it in the browser? My first thought was, it might get special permission to better interact with the system, like the agentic tools do. I assume it can better integrate into system with the taskbar maybe. Or maybe this is more efficient than just running the webbrowser. Or it might have special commandline arguments with special options?
Oh… wait its just an entire browser running a single tab. Alright then. Why does this need to be an app on its own? To me this is as useless as a native browser based Discord app… Just bookmark it in your browser and open it there. You can even customize it even more with browser addons.

Linux@lemmy.ml•AMD gpu bug in kernel 7.1.6 almost make me has a heart attack
4·9 天前Ah! I’ve seen a few times some artifacts with my RX 7600 on KDE too, but not on max/min, but randomly. I couldn’t reproduce it, so it is really hard to talk about such subject. As it just recently started (I’m on 7.1.6), I guess this is the same issue. Wondered if this is an issue with KDE or Krohnkite extension or my GPU dying.
So glad it’s “just” a bug in the Kernel. This is just a visual issue right? It doesn’t hurt I hope.
“The Problem with Linus Tech Tips: Accuracy, Ethics, & Responsibility” (44:14mins) by Gamers Nexus on August 14, 2023: YouTube or Invidious or Internet Archive
This video is not monetized. This video covers our serious concerns regarding the data accuracy of Linus Media Group, including Linus Tech Tips, ShortCircuit, and TechQuickie, particularly as it relates to rushing content out the door to favor – by staff’s own admission – quantity over quality. As the company continues to expand into its LTT Labs direction, the importance of accurate data increases; however, even as ‘only’ entertainment, there are still certain responsibilities to the consumer and the manufacturers to report fairly (and to have defined corrections processes in place). We tried to approach this as objectively as possible and hope that viewers are able to listen to the evidence we present, particularly as it relates to significant and frequent data errors that now present in nearly every technical review video.

LOL oh thanks haha, I indeed didn’t know. xDD
Thanks. :-) Maybe people think I was trying to be mean or so. At least it stays at 67% upvote ratio somehow, haha:

LOL I thought this was a meme post about 6 7. That’s why I didn’t look into until now, when I wanted to see some meme. :D Sorry not very helpful response, but its solved anyway.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Arch Linux AUR Under Another Wave Of Malicious Packages, Package Adoptions Halted
1·14 天前If someone sneaks in spyware or malware inside the makepkg, that isn’t arch’s fault, that’s the maintainers fault of the makepkg.
I don’t think that anyone argued otherwise.
I even said it in the very reply you are replying:
The AUR is managed and operated by the Archlinux team. As the packages are community-driven content, they cannot guarantee and give support, because it is not their package.

Linux@lemmy.ml•(not really on topic) linux BTW discord server is utter chaos
2·16 天前this isnt really linux related but MAN i just wanted to rant about ts
And so you decided to spam here with an unrelated content? If you are unhappy with that community, just leave the community.
lol, yeah that makes sense. And it really aligns with that and don’t think its a coincidence.

You don’t have to buy more RAM in order to benefit from this change. Your existing one should be enough. Usually if your system needs more VRAM, then there is most likely still some system RAM left to use it as an extension.
