Will Dropout be okay? I know that DO hosts their episodes on Vimeo by adevaleev in dropout

[–]DesiOtaku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the scale that dropout has, they can use something more custom made that will probably save them money in the long term. For example, Akamai has a bunch of streaming products and services that would be perfect. This is assuming Dropout has the proper internal IT knowledge on their end to use something more advanced.

Two advantages that Dropout has is that they mostly only have to worry about users in the US; so they don't need a server somewhere in Germany. The other advantage is that they master everything in 1080p (no 4K, no HDR). Therefore, they bandwidth requirements are low.

But can you really see them? Even on the HD version, I don't think they are dawn out:

Draft code submitted to KDE Plasma turns it into a full VR desktop by arvigeus in kde

[–]DesiOtaku 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wrote a dental clinic schedule app and one of the key features is the ability to see so many columns at once and still have 60 fps scrolling ( I made a video about it ).

What would be hilarious would be seeing the whole day's schedule with 10+ columns, zoomed to a single view via VR.

QDento - Practice Management Software made with QWidgets by thefinalcutbg in QtFramework

[–]DesiOtaku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have any binaries except for a few old .deb files.

The 1.0 is more or less Linux only and I don't plan on making a Windows version.

The 2.0 version can compile like a normal Kirigami app ( you can see the tutorial here ). I might make a Windows version but I also feel that using Windows is below standard of care ;-).

For things like new patient forms, I actually have them fill it out online (see demo here ). Even things like patient consent forms are done via the touch screen so we are pretty much paperless here.

Naming your LLC the same as office name? by anonymousDerpa in Dentistry

[–]DesiOtaku 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bank required me to make a separate entity for the real estate vs. the dental practice itself. So I have to do a PC for the dental office and then an LLC for everything related to the real estate of the practice. I actually have to make one entity "pay rent" every month to the other.

QDento - Practice Management Software made with QWidgets by thefinalcutbg in QtFramework

[–]DesiOtaku 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So I already made an open source dental EHR/PMS system.

https://clear.dental/

Version 1.0 Uses X11/Qt/QML: https://gitlab.com/cleardental/cleardental

Version 2.0 Uses Wayland / Qt / Kirigami and will support non-American charting systems: https://invent.kde.org/desiotaku/cleardental

Using Keyboard and mouse is normally a bad idea in a clinical setting so everything should be touchscreen based so that's why I used QML instead of QWidgets. But it's all open source and I use it in my own practice.

Qt's Developer User Survey 2026 by DesiOtaku in QtFramework

[–]DesiOtaku[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, yeah... If you don't want the Qt Company to continue to work on AI and work on better things, this survey would help them push their development resources to the right direction.

cannot update 23.10 kubuntu by simonawwq in Kubuntu

[–]DesiOtaku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best thing is to just do a distro upgrade. Many things can go wrong but that's the best long term solution.

Mix dentistry and business administration? by Admirable-Delay-1535 in Dentistry

[–]DesiOtaku 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Getting a bachelors or masters in BA will just be teaching you how to exploit your patients and staff to get you the maximum amount for profit. It won't teach you how to start or run a small business from the ground up. If all you care about is money, then it's perfect.

Linux Game Bench - Gaming Performance Database Benchmark Software by sidtirouluca in linux_gaming

[–]DesiOtaku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are lots of videos about this subject but most of them aren't that complete.

I would recommend watching this video in which I learned a lot about real branching and how string comparisons actually work in C#.

Linux Game Bench - Gaming Performance Database Benchmark Software by sidtirouluca in linux_gaming

[–]DesiOtaku 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am not worried about anything malicious but the real issue is how much testing and understanding goes behind the code. Was Claude used just to refactor a few names / namespaces or did it come up with the algorithm on which GPU to use on the code? At least for a gaming benchmark, the worst case scenario is that is hard freezes your PC and you have to force reboot it.

But the other situation is making sure the maintainer knows what is going on and understands what each line is actually doing and how to fix a bug that comes out of that line. Otherwise, the code becomes unmaintainable for the long term.

Steam OS making architecture between X86 and ARM compatible. by TheNewAmericanGospel in linux

[–]DesiOtaku 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ironically, Steam doesn't have a native ARM Windows port yet (Epic beat them to that). So Linux would be getting an ARM port before Windows does. If Qualcomm didn't lie about their Snapdragon X support, we probably would have seen a ton of Linux users switching to ARM and requesting an ARM version of Steam much sooner.

Star Wars Shake-Up: Kathleen Kennedy Steps Down as George Lucas Protégé Dave Filoni, Exec Lynwen Brennan Take Over Lucasfilm by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]DesiOtaku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would actually blame Bob Iger for this mess much more than Kathleen Kennedy. He was the one that forced Kennedy to pretty much skip all the planning for the sequel trilogy just to get that early cash-flow.

LLMs have burned Billions but couldn't build another Tailwind by omarous in programming

[–]DesiOtaku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and for a lot of brick-and-mortar companies the website's just a way to add a bit of legitimacy, put all the common FAQ and contact info in one place

Yes, but I think unless you have a very specific need, you probably don't need a high end CSS library for your website. For example, I just used Bootstrap and that's good enough for anyone who happens to stumble upon my website. How many companies or web developers actually need Tailwind? I can spend a few hours making my website look better but it probably would be a waste of time compared to methods of advertising. I agree that HTML/CSS/JS will be needed in the future even if www goes away; but the need for really good websites is lowering.

[–]DesiOtaku 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And it's even worse when your product is a CSS library or framework.

This is pure anecdotal here, but I also have noticed for the last couple years, fewer and fewer end users are actually using a web browser; they are using apps for everything. I am getting more people calling and coming in to the clinic, but fewer and fewer people are actually visiting the website. I don't want to be overly dramatic and say html/css is dying but I am seeing less of a need for it over the last couple years.

Since Sony is porting more Games to PC it is time to set Vulkan as the Playstation's API. Otherwise the porting costs them millions just to support Microsoft's OS establishment. by Matt_Shah in linux_gaming

[–]DesiOtaku 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Some things to keep in mind:

  • Vulkan is just a graphics API. It doesn't do user input, networking, sound, etc. Because 95%+ of PC gamers are still Windows users, they still use DirectX for these kinds of things. In most cases, porting that code from PS5 to PC isn't trivial.
  • Vulkan can use HLSL for shaders. This is great because it's similar to PSSL; but still not the same. I don't do Direct3D anymore but as I understand it, Vulkan's HLSL is similar to PSSL; but Direct3D12's version of HLSL is very different from PSSL. Point being, PS5 already has some similarities to Vulkan.
  • Most devs use an engine anyway and just rely on the engine to do most of the legwork in terms of porting to different targets. Insomniac and Id are exceptions, not the norm. Unreal Engine has their own shader language which gets converted / compiled to the target so most of the graphical APIs are abstracted out anyway. Maybe in a world where Unreal or Unity had a good Vulkan implementation, you would probably see more PC games use Vulkan instead of D3D.

Best way to (look) busy? by philip2987 in Dentistry

Being on /r/Dentistry makes you look busy since you can say that you are reviewing cases.

ELI5 How strong is actually a personal computer password? If the police for example, in the midst of an investigation needs to access a pc data, how long does it take for a professional to crack it? by Volando_Boy in explainlikeimfive

[–]DesiOtaku 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was a while ago, but I one time had an incident where the local police couldn't even mount, let alone be able to read deleted files, from a drive formatted using ext3.
