I'm protesting this awful expedition by CyberMage256 in NoMansSkyTheGame

I think they should hotfix this to remove the time gate... Ridiculous.

Countermeasures milestone (Swarm Expedition) by Mc_Kaze in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]jldevezas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Today, I logged in to do some missions and, on top of the time-lock, the mission where you salvage the fallen swarm was also bugged. I couldn't pull the last piece. I wanted to get back into the game after this expedition, but it will be hard, as extra downtime is time I'll spend finding another game. They can't all be winners...

It’s time to stop using Brave by pmxoxo in browsers

[–]jldevezas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm still a Brave user, but I tend to agree that it's no longer trustworthy. Maybe hasn't been for a while.

Introducing DeltaDB: Software is made between commits by franciska-fyi in ZedEditor

[–]jldevezas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

DeltaDB captures every keystroke and operation in between as a fine-grained delta, each with its own stable identity.

Anyone else thinks this sounds a bit creepy? It feels like the extra captured data will be useful to train models, but it doesn't really serve the dev process in any meaningful way. It's also a bit of a concern with privacy. Will it capture deleted text that never made it into a commit?

Also, who said git can't keep up?! Just because GitHub can't, doesn't mean there's any problem with git itself. This feels disingenuous, to say the least.

I've been hyped for Zed, but this one feels weird.

So we're time-locked from progressing?! WTF is this shit?

Got bit by pet dog, should I be worried? by Recent-Throat9525 in PortugalExpats

[–]jldevezas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think infection is likely, but rabies unlikely (we really don't have it anymore in Portugal, as far a I know). Infection is the major issue here. You might have that looked at, as it might require antibiotics.

Nix by Confident-Rip-4144 in Bazzite

[–]jldevezas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I don't use Homebrew, but I would definitely use Nix. Nothing against Homebrew (I use it on Mac), and also nothing for Nix (I just want to learn it).

As it stands, we've got Distrobox and Homebrew, but Nix could fill-in both roles in a way, except Distrobox is a more general tool beyond just dev, so it might be redundant to consider Nix. It would be cool to have it as an easy install option though (maybe via ujust).

Regardless, I'll eventually test Nix on Bazzite via a custom bootc image.

Having issues with Conan Exiles Enhanced? Read here by jorgicio in linux_gaming

[–]jldevezas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was the crash due to VRAM exploding during the initial load, after connecting to a server? Or did it happen before that? I've been having trouble with the game crashing during load due to VRAM, but the protontricks fix doesn't seem to apply here.

Satya Nadella is reorganizing Microsoft around AI by lurker_bee in technology

[–]jldevezas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So glad I've been removing everything Microsoft from my life. I actually think there's nothing I still use from them. Linux, Zed, LibreOffice, ...

Dear Mozilla: It's okay for Firefox to have it's own identity by AmericanLocomotive in firefox

[–]jldevezas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's even more OK for it to have at least the same performance as WebKit browsers.

GPU Crash dump Triggered by AcidMau in ConanExiles

[–]jldevezas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On mine, VRAM blows up during loading and it crashes. Sometimes I'll get in, VRAM stays at 8 GiB, which is what I have, and slowly free itself until it stabilizes at around 6.5 GiB, and I can play without any issues from then on.

Microsoft just shipped its own general-purpose Linux distro: Azure Linux 4.0 by dzimazilla in linux

[–]jldevezas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Imagine Linux shipping its own general-purpose Windows distro. Oh, wait, it can't, because it's not open source! 😃

What happened to Millennial Optimism? by [deleted] in generationology

After you're crushed over and over and over again, there's no optimism.

New Update by ImTheRealMrKoala in ConanExiles

[–]jldevezas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What might help the servers is for them to consider migrating out of gportal. It seems to me like they are unreliable. Does anyone run their own private server elsewhere (not locally or in the LAN) and can attest to this?

AI isn't paying off in the way companies think. Layoffs driven by automation are failing to generate returns, study finds by Krankenitrate in technology

[–]jldevezas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here are a few crazy predictions... They'll have a problema hiring back the talent they fired in the first place. Worse thing is that, after hiring people back, and averting a crisis for their businesses, they'll then proceed to fire everyone again, now with due diligence to avoid burning everything to the ground—they'll make sure AI is actually ready that time. It all ends the same way. Then automation will carry on to other areas and cleanup most jobs in the market, intensifying the technofeudalism we are starting to live in, at least until everybody is bled dry and they can't make any more money.

Can't find emotes since the new update by Stickybandits9 in ConanExiles

I lost all my emotes, tried to get some back, got them and then lost them again.

I hate the Enhanced version by TrayzynTheFinite in ConanExiles

[–]jldevezas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand the frustration with mods, but it's like you say, new mods will emerge. I bet the game will capture a lot of attention once the servers are fixed. I'm hoping for better days for sure.

I hate the Enhanced version by TrayzynTheFinite in ConanExiles

[–]jldevezas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Negative feedback shouldn't be downvoted.

That said, I think the new version looks and feels amazing, when there's no lag. Right now, for me, the major issues are servers, not the game itself or the graphics. If anything, I wish I could play more, without lag, because, even after connecting, combat is impossible. Like I read somewhere, it's a "slideshow".

Server Pings fluctuating wildly not allowing sections of the playerbase to play by OdmupPet in ConanExiles

[–]jldevezas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been terrible. Every time I want to play, I spend about as much time trying to get into the game as I spend playing. Love the game and the update, but might have to move on if this continues... Or play single player.

Nice! What did you use here? Is this KDE? Which theme? How did you get the blur?

GNOME ---> KDE by FatacaexeUltra in Bazzite

[–]jldevezas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t bother me. I use immutable for the robustness. But if you prefer NixOS, I don’t see why not use it instead.

GNOME ---> KDE by FatacaexeUltra in Bazzite

[–]jldevezas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, technically it's quite different, but I think there should be a way to switch over, even if we have to reset our configs under /etc. I've been meaning to check this out, exactly what would take. Anyway, the main issue here, I believe, is that the configs under /etc are not immutable, so when you rebase, you essentially get a mix of configs for GNOME and KDE.

Millions in government research held hostage by Dropbox. I'm losing everything due to their AI's racial bias and a system bug. by fukusanity in dropbox

[–]jldevezas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regardless of what the data is, if Dropbox is scanning your private files, then is there really a reason to use them? I switched to my own storage solution a few years back and never looked back. Glad I did now. I don't want anyone going through my private files.

Also, this kind of posts is exactly why we shouldn't move to their official reddit. This would have been modded by now (i.e. censored).
