0x073··on Introducing Kwi, a new KDE terminal emulator
Prefer non qtquick apps, as they use 10x more memory.
0x073··on ReactOS reaches major milestone with NTFS install support
People said the same thing about Linux for a long time, too.
0x073··on Today's PHP security release, and how we're strengthening security
Can be said for everything programming language.
0x073··on Flatpak – An Insecurity Nightmare
Snaps are no flatpak.
0x073··on Steam Client is now faster than Epic's new vibe coded launcher
I dont care about faster startup times for steam, as long as its under a minute.

If any big company want a good steam alternative we would have it.

Every alternative launcher, uplay/ubisoft connect, origin/ea app, epic games, gog started with a store platform and stopped. Its like the marketing team just looked at the store but not at the rest of the steam features.

0x073··on Janas: Run LLMs larger than RAM by streaming experts from SSD
Let's make ssds more expensive.
0x073··on AnyPS5: Port PS5 binaries to PC without emulation (87% system libraries mapped)
If i get 150-200 ping direct connected to the gameserver, vs 20ping on the cloud gaming vm + 60ms from connection to the cloud gaming, you get a better multiplayer experience.

Never said its the default or that i want convince someone, but it happens to me at least with two games at the evening.

Bad peering.

If my provider has a bad peering to the gameservers, but a good peering to the cloud gaming servers, you get a better gaming experience with cloud gaming.

Its possible.

I used GeForce now for the summer as I wanted to avoid a hot pc in my room.

Any game I played with GeForce now I also played local, yes there is a minimal difference, but sometimes I got better feeling with multiplayer as the cloud service had better connection to the game servers than my local provider.

And I will prefer most multiplayer games with my local machine, but it impressed me very much (more than stadia and Xbox cloud)

0x073··on Tell HN: GitHub refuses to remove cracked copies of my software after a month
I understand, but if I create some code that use no wordpress code and only API access and don't ship it with wordpress, they can't enforce a gpl licence for my code.
0x073··on Tell HN: GitHub refuses to remove cracked copies of my software after a month
If they just use the api to create the plugins, no. (It's like Google vs oracle and the java API)

Means don't be a stock company or comparable, as you are forced to generate money for the shareholders.

I used Nvidia GeForce now for some months and must admit that I can't feel a difference most of the time. I tried call of duty warzone and even this was great multiplayer experience. (Game is a mess with GeForce now, can't remember shader cache and must recreate it every GeForce now session)
0x073··on Cloudflare OHTTP gateway
As cloudflare is the gateway for half the Internet and the other half is meta Google and Microsoft, I would prefer to share my IP with the website I visit instead some big tech companies.

But maybe I get privacy wrong.

0x073··on Google ending ChromeOS support two years early
Extremly sarcastic take but - shouldn't the LLMs in 6 year not powerful enough that every user can maintain ChromeOS support themselves?

At least when we get monthly news about how powerful the new models of the openai and anthropic are.

Maybe in 5 years we're all sitting in water tanks producting energy for the ai machine's like in matrix.

0x073··on Japan moves to tighten rules for foreigners
Not sure how it's work in japan, but many of these things require a formal criminal complaint in my country and people are not used to disrespectful people.

Saying that it's the issue of a country is wrong and to simple minded.

0x073··on Japan moves to tighten rules for foreigners
Disrespect is no crime in many countries.

Japan has a stricter legal system than many Western countries.

0x073··on My temporary PHP fix from 2014 has nearly 20M installs. Today I'm deprecating it
Replacement is defined in the github repo, in composer you can only define an replacement package, but there is no real replacement, just alternative ways.
0x073··on OpenAI expands ChatGPT ads with Sponsored Agents
So you want software from people for free, hope you share also your work power with others for free.

I the end someone pays for open source and often it's some developer with his spare time.

Yes to open source, but yes to money for the developers.

0x073··on Firefox 156 shows ads in the address bar (dubbed "Firefox Suggest")
The actual fix would be a paid browser, but almost no one will pay for a browser subscription.
0x073··on As AI eats the web, the internet’s collective memory is disappearing
I think it's a chance to return how the old web was, as the human web return to a small underdog and get splitted from the AI web.
0x073··on They don't make 'em like Sublime Text anymore
Last time I used Sublime text with package control, the plugins created always after updates a new tab with changelog and some with textads.

Pure sublime text is better, but still just a better notepad and no ide.

0x073··on Why has the display control panel pointer truncation bug gone unfixed for long?
This is a bug of the application and not of windows.

It's maybe a bad API design, but in the end every app developer can fix it for their apps.

0x073··on OpenAI and Hugging Face address security incident during model evaluation
They attacked a competitor (huggingface) with their models.

How and why are pr claims.

0x073··on The glass backbone: Why the Army's logistics will break in the next war
If it's continue 5 years, the country connected to this war in this region will go fast downstairs and maybe even end in a broken state. I don't sympathies with any monarch country there, but no one wants more unstable countries, especially in the Arabic region.
0x073··on Building a real-time AI tutor for 5-year-olds
Win for everyone except the children. The same thing people said about digital classroom and it failed.
0x073··on Amazon without the knockoffs
It cant get trust, as it disappears after a month.
0x073··on Godot will no longer accept AI-authored code contributions
You are not the author with ai.
0x073··on The new HTTP QUERY method explained
With some post websites (banking) and spa already present.
0x073··on Steam Machine launches today
Was 16gb planned since the beginning?

Maybe they lowered to 16gb to reduce the price.
