Eh, it sounds like a statistics error. “Unknown” jumped up as soon as Windows went down, and I don’t think they lost 15% market share in only one year.

Practically the same thing really

If you’re playing modern games that just released, they often need the newest graphics drivers to run well and look right. It also helps to have the most modern version of apps like Heroic Games Launcher and stuff, but Flatpak has solved that somewhat.

If anyone here games a lot, I’d recommend a more rolling release distro (or the version of Debian that updates packages quickly, forgot its name).

This has more to do with the Windows frameworks costing an extra $140. I’m sure a lot of people will just buy it with Linux and then ‘obtain’ Windows on their own.

Looks great, I was never a framework believer because it was so overpriced (to an extent it still is), but this sounds way better and might actually be a good deal. Aside from the specs bump, they fixed almost all of the issues with the older frameworks (CEO talks more about it in this video).

Better build quality and less flex, better screen, better speakers, and a better touchpad. The biggest issue I heard about it was that it felt a bit cheap and wobbly because of all the moving parts, but if they manage to fix that, I might actually get it some day.

I think the post might be talking about last month again.

The fact that fans might port TP to the Switch before Nintendo bothers is hilarious

Your comment posted 3 times so I’m guessing there’s something with your internet haha

I’m still deciding how “serious” the project is going to be, but if all goes well I will definitely add support for other formats. I’m already looking at adding Pandoc for document conversions.

I have a whole blog post talking about using Godot for GUI development. The short of it is that it’s surprisingly good but has a few drawbacks, and it doesn’t have a bustling ecosystem like webdev tools. I’ve yet to try it on mobile, though.

The choice of Godot for a UI library is an interesting one; how big is the program in the end?

Not small but not huge either, the app itself will be within 25MB uncompressed (<10MB zipped) - but it doesn’t matter that much since most of the file size will be the dependencies used to convert stuff. I have a blog post talking more about Godot for GUI apps if you’re interested.

The rest of the feedback is appreciated! I was just about to add some text showing which file was being converted when processing.

Video files are an exception since it would be too slow on WASM

Q: What happens with video files?

Video files get uploaded to our lightning-fast RTX 4000 Ada server. Your videos stay on there for an hour if you do not convert them. If you do convert the file, the video will stay on the server for an hour, or until it is downloaded. The file will then be deleted from our server.

VERT is really close but not totally what I was looking for, it’s a web app rather than a local program and AFAIK can’t convert videos locally, you’d have to upload it to a server and download them again.

Appreciate the feedback!

I’ve yet to see any AVIF in the wild. I think support for it is not quite there yet, everybody is still relying on WEBP.

It’s a heavily modified and upgraded version of source 2, but yeah.

You can help by writing to Apple CEO Tim Cook (tcook@apple.com) and letting him know that you won’t buy Apple devices because of their proprietary software and DRM.

There really has to be a better call to action than this:

Microblogging has always sucked IMO. It’s always been more geared towards shouting your opinion and leaving, and it actively discourages any discussion by hiding reply threads and making it a nightmare to follow. Most people aren’t ready for this take, though…

I don’t know what weird-ass stawman you built, but it’s obviously not from anything I said

your position seems to be “we won, everybody drop your weapons and party, google is good again”

No?

and you follow by bashing linux phones in your subsequent comments…

“Bashing” Linux phones by saying they’re buggy and won’t be ready soon, which is literally true. Even PostMarketOS says the same thing on their website. I guess you’d prefer I gaslight people by saying Linux phones are awesome, let’s all switch to phones that barely work, lack any phone apps, have a terrible battery life, etc.

Deluded or in bad faith for sharing official news?

The Linux phones that exist today (including Pine Phone) are more like early dev kits. They have really weak specs, are incredibly buggy, lack all sorts of features you’d expect, and I’m not totally sure if you can even make calls through them because phone carriers require a verified device and proprietary tech to work.

There are efforts to get things in order but these will take maybe 10 years at this rate.
