There is no way that man has a master’s degree

No. They paused the tariffs that were in response to the ongoing steel and aluminum tariffs when Trump lowered the “lib day” tariffs from 20% to 10%.

Don’t forget the 80 hours a week of PoE2 grinding!

The legacy jitsi-based rtc used turn, and so does matrixrtc I believe. I haven’t tried it myself, though.

This just sounds like FUD.

What should the Matrix developers have prioritized instead? Chat programs are complicated, especially when you’re making them distributed. You’re comparing an organization and a MSP with like $1M/yr revenue with a soon-to-IPO company with $600M/yr in revenue.

What feature is missing from Matrix that is preventing Discord users from joining?

Matrix uses TURN, and the Matrix protocol is not used for carrying voice/video.

Element is an independent client developed by Element, and not part of the Matrix protocol.

Interesting.

On the wifi router side, openwrt prefers mediatek cpus because they are the only company with fully open source wifi drivers.

steam hardware survey shows 17% AMD and 8% Intel

Meanwhile, Ubuntu is switching to uutils

Males sense. Technically, all chipset drivers are required to be open source since Linux is hard-copyleft open source.

I think that boils down to how ARM chipsets don’t support mainline Linux. You need lots of patchsets which break over time.

I have to actively tell my grandfather who wanted to switch to Fedora to stop trying to use the command line lol, it’s easier to remember the GUI. CLI isn’t some big looming threat like it was in the 2010’s.

The assumption was that nobody used win8 lol

But again I think people who grew up with 10/11 are more likely to use the windows store than you think. They used an iPad before they got a chromebook before they got a windows computer. My little cousins don’t play minecraft Java, they play minecraft bedrock. I don’t think they know what VLC is.

Ok fair, last time I used windows you had to install gpu drivers manually. I think you still are recommended to do so, since the windows ones are really old.

But yeah manual driver installation/specialized distros for Nvidia is a problem that’s in the process of getting fixed with NVK, Nova, and the official drivers. Intel and AMD are there already.

I would rather have one extra manual step like that than dealing with/paying for Windows 11

Yeah I think in the future, we’ll figure out how to make NixOS configuration modular enough to be viable for laymen, but Linux Mint works well enough for Windows refugees.

Linux mint has an app store like Windows, MacOS, iOS, and Android.

I think it supports flathub, which has every app you could need, but I haven’t checked since I run a very customized NixOS.

People don’t really download .exes anymore, it’s just people who are used to windows 7 and earlier who still do that.

Pre-installed Nvidia drivers will likely be fixed in the next two years, but:

1. You’ll have zero driver issues if you use an Nvidia compatible distro like PopOS or Nobara

B. The 25% of gamers not using Nvidia GPUs do not have driver issues on Linux

III. Windows has tons of driver issues, so I’m not sure why Linux Nvidia drivers are a significant detail here. We don’t expect little Jimmy to know to install drivers, and know what to do when windows update fucks your drivers randomly. Linux actually soves those issues for you.

The article says that all phones in the EU must receive 5 years of software support. 10 would be ideal tbh, but labeling isn’t as important now that we’re getting 5 years.

That’s a weird way to spell Linux Mint
