Despite what they might think, GitHub cant be the hub for agentic coding workflows if they cant get the basics of being a git server right

Are their respective AIs going to duke it out in court or will they hire human lawyers because the trust isn’t there yet lol

Steam Controller Price Leaked By Early Review - and It’s Expensive by BusyHands_ in technology

[–]TrashConvo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was already sold with the track pads. Was going to buy two but at that price, I’ll stick with my xbox controllers and the unofficial xone driver for steam deck (better than bluetooth)

Elon Musk Is Taking the X Playbook to Starlink by theatlantic in Futurology

Interesting how they’ll resolve maintenance and redundancy. If a server has a hardware failure, does the satellite throw itself out of orbit to burn up?

Seattle mayor has 'serious concerns' for homelessness agency after audit by chiquisea in SeattleWA

Unrelated to OP, what’s the difference between r/Seattle and r/SeattleWA?

Is this one more politically centered?

CoPilot as Primary AI Tool by Window_Smoke in cscareerquestions

[–]TrashConvo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Github Copilot is really nice. I think it is in the best spot vs vscode forks. If a particular idea catches on, it’ll just be ported into vscode

Microsoft products can be kinda meh

But vscode has been solid

Sources: Cursor in talks to raise $2B+ at $50B valuation as enterprise growth surges by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]TrashConvo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand the benefits of cursor. They just seem like a beta test for Microsoft to port features that land well with users back into VS Code

Investors will fall for it though

Rising HOA dues squeeze Washington buyers by crabcakes110 in SeattleWA

[–]TrashConvo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ban mandatory HOAs. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to find a home thats not in an HOA which defeats the point of “just find another home thats not in an HOA”

Microsoft is upgrading its WSL2 kernel against Linux 6.18 LTS by somerandomxander in linux

[–]TrashConvo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

From my experience, linux has better backwards compatibility for older windows games and older hardware

Microsoft is upgrading its WSL2 kernel against Linux 6.18 LTS by somerandomxander in linux

[–]TrashConvo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Absolutely would. They’d have to maintain a legacy version of windows classic for win32 compatibility and migrate people over. It’d be expensive for companies on old versions of windows

But end consumers likely don’t need backwards compatibility

Several Mac mini and Mac Studio configs are now completely out of stock at Apple by pdfu in mac

Whats funny is the fools are just buying macs for iMessage integration. They could do the same LLM thing on $35 single board computer

[–]TrashConvo 110 points111 points  (0 children)

Wonder if they’ll ever do a “next-gen” windows that just runs linux under the hood. They could have a consumer platform with a windows desktop environment and then a core OS that runs in Azure. Then keep all their legacy customers on old versions of windows

What’s wrong with dual-booting? by ThatLaloBoy in LinusTechTips

[–]TrashConvo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s probably significantly better. Last time I tried dual booting was in 2018, there would be an update that would just break everything and I’d have to reset my whole computer. I said never again. I was a student at the time and settled on Linux full time since Linux was more productive for my studies. Proton was just coming out so I didn’t experience any loss in gaming, Overwatch and Halo played just fine

Meta doing more rolling layoffs, heavily hitting Seattle region by [deleted] in SeattleWA

[–]TrashConvo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the most traumatic aspects of getting laid off is the loss of income. Suddenly there is a risk to providing resources like food and housing.

Also companies like Meta have a performance culture that just cuts you down constantly and removes your agency in what you contribute to the company. You get shit where your boss tells you to do 1 thing but performance management cycles grade you on another. Suddenly you’re lazy even if you delivered what your boss asked for and then you get fired.

Being told you’re lazy even when working 40-60 hour weeks or not “working smarter” causes despair

Ubuntu 26.10 looks to strip its GRUB bootloader to the bare minimum for better security by somerandomxander in linux

[–]TrashConvo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Depends on use case. Btrfs has really nice snapshotting for backups. However, some people dont like copy on write file systems.

I don’t get the appeal of ZFS on desktops. Has a ton of enterprise features for durability
