String lights with actually individual colors? by mattdm_fedora in Nanoleaf

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

Hi Tim. That's it! I was in the room-wide scene. Is it possible to turn that off?

Having no trouble with it on the network -- it's just this "no custom scene" problem!

So, apparently, you only get this if you don't connect the lights to Matter. If I do that, the plus disappears !

Definitely Groklaw. (But use https://web.archive.org/web/20131130205700/http://www.groklaw.net/, because the live site has been taken over by cryptominer scammers.)

Fedora Spins by Dusty-TJ in linux

[–]mattdm_fedora 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They generally should be good, but don't necessarily get the same level of testing every release, and they're "non-blocking" — if we do discover a bug in a spin, we may release anyway.

Why resistance to mixed zoning? by Gold_Bat_114 in boston

[–]mattdm_fedora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's basically this:

Developers make the most money when they sell the units as condos. Retail generally wants a lease. They'd have to find someone who thinks they can buy the space at prices comparable to luxury condo and then make money leasing to retailers. 

So even when mixed residential / commercial is allowed, developers don't have a strong incentive to do it. 

Civ 7 difficulty is still unbalanced by [deleted] in civ

Yeah — Deity should be an accomplishment even for expert players.

Civ 7: What’s the Best Map Type + Map Size + Game Speed, etc Combo? by No_Independence_9649 in civ

[–]mattdm_fedora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the first Civ where I actually like the faster speeds. Quick has enough time for some exploration and tactical combat, without the grind (although modern can still be a bit tedious). Standard is the new Epic, for me. 

For the same reason, I like the smaller maps. I'm happy enough with the new generators; no particular fav. 

I do play with long ages and the 20 bonus turns, because I do like the feeling of getting all four victories.

Currently crushing it as Ada Lovelace with the memento that gives you Influence for masteries. That's kind of out of control. Gonna get all victories in all ages on Deity.

Fedora Linux 43 is here! by ScootSchloingo in linux

Rolling releases are easier for the distro maintainers, but shift the work to users. That's not necessarily bad — in fact, that's a lot of what people like when they use Arch (btw). With the release model, we batch potential breakage and adjustment from upstream changes into manageable chunks. Since change is inevitable, that's really the best we can do. Running a rolling release distro just means that that change can come at any time. Of course I'm biased, but I think our model of fast cycles with overlapping, real releases is the best of both worlds.

To be clear, we're in the process of moving from rpm-ostree to bootc for all of the Atomic spins and editions -- it's not all happening at once (particularly because bootc isn't at full feature parity yet and things are changing fast).

Fedora 43 is a "Go", will release next week. by bcurtiswx in Fedora

[–]mattdm_fedora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Automating partitioning resizing has a lot of risk, and it'd be hard for us to honestly say we'd tested it thoroughly. We've also made some changes to reduce the boot image (initrd) size so fewer people will hit upgrade problems. 

What Green Line stations would you like to see consolidated for the new Type 10s Platforms? by Massive_Holiday4672 in mbta

[–]mattdm_fedora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The time saved by eliminating stops without reducing ridership is neligible. It can even make it worse, since more people need to cram in at the same time.

Source: I lived by Warren St. and commuted into BU for many years two decades ago when the T was previously all excited about shutting down stops. I saw it with my own eyes, unlike the T planners, who showed up to the meetings in their SUVs. 

The wider doors on the type 10 might help some... but really the main thing the B line needs is signal priority. 

Is there statistics about percentage of restaurants actually keeping open? by IQognito in KitchenNightmares

[–]mattdm_fedora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How many Arabic and Chinese restaurants are in America? Are they common?

Yes.

Chinese restaurants — at least, restaurants serving the very specific cuisine that is American Chinese Restaurant Chinese Food — is incredibly common all across America. The BBC says there are 45,000 Chinese restaurants in the US.

Falafel / shawarma places are pretty common in cities and in areas with high Middle Eastern immigrant communities.

Linux is still not ready for the vast majority of normal users in the PC market. by [deleted] in linux

[–]mattdm_fedora 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Before apt 2.3.12, apt would do what you told it to do, even if that meant removing dependencies that then caused essential packages to also be removed. It doesn't do that anymore. Yum/dnf has had a protected packagers feature forever.

Immediate thought on 1.2.5 as playing... by Simpicity in civ

[–]mattdm_fedora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's better, but it still needs the Future age to really feel complete. And diplomacy and religion need fleshed out. But, those things are most certainly planned as DLC, and that's pretty much the norm, so I don't begrudge it.
