I do sometimes wish that Valve would simply automatically choose the Proton version of a game to be installed if it’s obviously superior (like with Rocket League). Also, why is Steam play not enabled for all titles by default? As far as I know, they’re already doing some of that validation for the Steam Deck, might as well use it for Desktop users as well.

They certainly do, at least to an extent. In many fields where you have to work with a lot of data people will use R or Python to handle/transform/perform calculations.

True. HPC definitely plays a big role in the field, and essentially all compute clusters run some sort of Linux distro. Even though clients that can also be run locally then often have Windows binaries too, I’d say software support on Linux is at least as good as on Windows, probably a bit better.

A lot of my professors of meteorology (and IT courses, of course) also use either Ubuntu or Kubuntu! Love to see it

It’s dokuwiki.

I’m likely going to try out Wave Terminal with a self hosted LLM. I think it may well be quite useful, just don’t want to upload my entire command history to OpenAI.

Highly depends on where you are in the world. I feel like PHEVs might make some sense in America, in Europe demand is shrinking every year since charging networks have gotten fairly good and BEVs offer more flexibility in terms of charging, especially if you can’t charge at home.

I think not wanting to federate/bridge with Bluesky is a very bad idea. The entire idea is that we should get a Fediverse that is as connected as possible, not split up into many tiny subsets of users.

If you want something that works very well and is quite convenient, I can recommend the Scaleway S3 Glacier storage. If you only need a few GBs, it will only cost a couple of cents per month.

If anything, I feel like Nextcloud Mail is the thing that’s going to end up being killed, not Roundcube. Nextcloud doesn’t exactly seem like a company that would buy a superior product just to kill it off.

As I understand, even when paying you would still see ads and not get any benefits over what Twitter is at the moment whatsoever. I honestly cannot imagine the platform retaining many users after such a drastic step.
