curious_raltson Nvidia agrees to acquire Hugging Face for $13B

The same is true for the simultaneous NVENC video encoding session limit which is artificially locked for consumer NVIDIA GPUs (see https://github.com/keylase/nvidia-patch)

curious_raltson Show HN: Reverse Minesweeper

Have been playing it quite a bit since the submission as well.

I have to echo the pencil mode being able to win feedback which absolutely ruins it for me - some sequences require penciling quite a bit to find the failing condition which leads to me winning by accident in pencil mode which just feels horrible and sort of cheat-y (I just happend the pencil the winning solution but I didn't solve it as intended)

Overall the game is great and I have been enjoying the daily masters and some of the insane puzzles.

P.S. the submit feedback does not work, something about needing the confirm the form or similar.

One could argue the opposite, let's take bevy as an example: more popularity could bring in more contributors or more funding which would hopefully result in making a better engine. The same could apply to Mr. Beast videos (more views translate to more money which translate to better production and staff which translate to more or better videos) but the goals are inherently different (maximizing profit which rewards quantity over quality)

curious_raltson The Future of Flatpak

I daily drive an immutable Fedora spin and if I wanted to install Tailscale I would most likely add it to the base image via `rpm-ostree` instead of trying to reach for Flatpak - not because i'm aware of the issues but because it makes more sense to me to add a more system-wide networking layer to the base image. That being said there are many apps that are not packaged as Flatpaks that I end up adding to the base layer out of necessity which I would have liked to use as Flatpaks.
