May I introduce you to my savior, BTRFS

Oh come on most doctors still view stuff like scans on 720p VGA screens. It’s fine. High resolution imaging is important not hi res viewers.

This is like saying you need to have a 128k screen to view electron microscope images

Why would the medical field need 8k screens? They can just zoom in on a lower res display y’know? Nobody is looking at a screen with a magnifying glass

I think a possible application for 8k displays is the huge displays where the viewer is extremely close to the display. But that would still just be the same pixel density as a lower res display.

Another area I think high pixel density might be useful for is patterning. Like PCB manufacturing and other photoresist stuff. But that’s a problem already solved by much cheaper technologies

Like a brick in a washing machine

Device is set to power saver in this picture but I must say power saver doesn’t seem to be doing much. I don’t notice a reduction in performance nor see a improvement in battery life.

I just leave that on power saver if I am not doing anything resource hungry. Possibly out of habit

I am daily driving a Surface Pro 9

Drivers are okay. I had some problems with screen freezing but these were fixed easily with some kernel params.

With a full battery, I get 6 hours coding in C with VSCode and some browser tabs or 5 hours of YouTube playback. You’ll get about 8-9 hours if you are doing something like writing text

Gnome is fantastic for this form factor. Especially libadwaita stuff, as their HIG plays very nice with touchscreens.

A powerbank will give you practically infinite battery for a whole day. I love this machine so much…

So you gotta do a full flush when you donate. Got it.

It also kind of takes its roots from my frustration with garbage in my home or leftover bullshit in my root

It’s not viable to ditch native packages 100% (like immutable distros). But a combination of two is pretty comfortable imo

But as I said, I am not comfortable with the way flatpak does some things

Small SSD + compression is faster than HDD with no compression ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Plus I’ve been planning to upgrade my (8gb) RAM and SSD, for like, the last 5 years? Never gonna upgrade lol

Exactly what I’m talking about. It reminds me of the time microsoft introduced memory compression to compensate for every application bringing it’s own DLLs

But I still think flatpak is superior to windows way of doing things because it actually has dependency management. I kinda like the idea of having multiple versions of the same library but I wish they did not come in big bundles (runtimes), but instead, came in small 1-2MB pieces.

download random binaries from non-trusted distributors that contain a copy of every library that software needs to run

This is overexaggeration. Flatpak, unlike places windows users get software from, is moderated, and flatpak (although chunky) has shared dependencies

Oh sorry I thought it was homebrew as in built from logic gates. Cool machine anyways

Can I see your homebrew computer? I am working on 6502 rn and this sounds interesting

I feel shame when I go to reddit because I hate seeing “Yaaaay!!! 10 day streak!!! You are addicted woooohooooo!!!”

Oh my god they were debuggers!

Why can’t we just have fewer people too?

Won’t somebody think of the ECONOMY?

A lot of countries around the world are living a so called “underpopulation crisis” even though the population is still growing frighteningly fast. Population going down is only a problem for capitalism, and it’s going to doom us all

You are right about the processing power part but your comment is a bit too harsh considering the switch 2 has shared the same firmware with switch 1. And possibly very similar hardware

I am not a emulator dev. though. But I am speculating it would be easier to develop emulators for switch 2 compared to a brand new console (or compared to generational leaps of other consoles)

God I wish ARM had a standard…

he is seeing a doctor for his eye relocation surgery

It’s actually irritating to me that the sun is bombarding us with ionizing radiation

(I know, not the same intensity) but think about the amount of precautions we take before turning on a UV lamp. Or before turning on a very bright LED which you are not supposed to look directly at. Well, neither you should look directly at the sun, but you get the idea

In a perspective, sun is so radioactive it can even decay paint and plastic! It can literally cook you alive and make your skin fall in pieces. This just seems usual to us because we were born with it, people would freak the hell out if a medical procedure had the same side effects

Look, I can make a right wing campaign out of this! BAN THE SUN SAVE YOUR KIDS FROM 800T (Terahertz) RADIATION
