I feel like we hear this every single time though. "Largest tech leap in a hardware generation" very much means "we'll bump the graphics a little, we're still targeting 30fps though"

Man, I love Debian. It's not the sexiest distro, but it gets the job done damn well

I have been creating a bot using Node and would love to have a cloud-based logging solution to store my logs (since Fly.io monitoring isn't the greatest and doesn't store logs more than ~100 at a time). So far, I've looked at:

  • Coralogix
  • Logz.io
  • Sumo Logic

Sadly, all of these require a business email.

Since I'm doing a small personal project, I don't quite have one and I would prefer not to have to get one. I would also prefer the logging service be as simple as possible - this is a very small project and isn't customer-facing, so it really only needs the logging features (stuff like metrics are not needed and I'm handling exception logging with Sentry).

Lastly, it would be cool if it was cheap / free!

Thank you!

Minecraft. There's always another automatic farm to create, a new cave to explore and a new mod to try out! Not to mention the fun that multiplayer brings...

Honestly, other than the questionable Pokemon-esque models, Pocketpair seem like they have really solid heads on their shoulders

Well, that was intense lol.

Looked surprisingly polished for a project to "introduce the team" to the engine

Jeez, guy in the bottom left is not having a peaceful time 😬

For example, if I (on kbin.run - which is Mbin, but for the purposes of this let's just assume it's Kbin) go to a random magazine on kbin.social, I will often see a prompt that the magazine may be incomplete and that I should visit the original instance for all the content.

Why doesn't the request to that magazine automatically trigger a "pull" from that instance for that magazine, or at least cause it to check if the number of threads is the same (and conditionally pull on that)? I would think by pulling the changes then, magazines would never be out-of-date.

I get that it would be a lot heavier of a load on the servers, but in combination with good caching techniques (maybe setting a time of 1 day or something until the next pull occurs, idk) I feel like that could be mitigated.

Is this maybe an implementation detail of ActivityPub?

Thank you!

This is the one thing keeping me from using Ecosia at this point. I use year filters a LOT as a programmer, and I really don't like how shady Brave generally is. However, even changing "freshness" to "year" in the URL just makes it get set to "any time", which is not ideal.

Is this an issue that is overcome-able somehow? Alternatively, are there any decent Ecosia alternatives out there which actually have a "year" filter?

Thank you!

Sometimes I feel like @The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website literally keeps my feed (and all my subscriptions) alive. Thank you for your service 🫡

Ramping up his authoritarian rhetoric, Trump pledged in the lowa speech to institutionalize an authoritarian crackdown of the same sort he falsely accuses the Biden administration of implementing. “Upon taking office, I will create a new federal task force on fighting anti-Christian bias to be led by a fully reformed Department of Justice that's fair and equitable," he promised. «Its mission will be to investigate all forms of illegal discrimination, harassment and persecution against Christians in America."

This is the quote from the article about the task force.

Just run stuff out-of-the-gate

Connect to WiFi properly in a Panera (ymmv, but this was my experience with 3 different Ubuntu-based distros)

Play pretty much any game (Proton has gotten us far but it's not the end-all-be-all)

Be usable without the command line at all (tried giving my GF Linux Mint, no it's not entirely usable without the command line, and I haven't found a distro that is)

*Run Nvidia flawlessly out-of-the-box

*Be backed up fully and easily (no, TimeShift is not easy, it's just easy for you after looking up documentation for a hot minute)

*Except immutable distros like Silverblue *I know Pop_OS! comes with Nvidia drivers before anyone says that, but it's the odd-one-out

Oh, my God! Who????

I'ma be the devil's advocate - even if they were free, eventually someone would have made it a subscription-based model since PSN servers cost money. Sure, it's not a lot of money, but it's money.
