Software as a whole is getting overly complicated and details are commonly overlooked or missed. It sucks I agree.

1·18 days agoI will share an issue I and others have with their laptop that presents just a bit differently (a single cpu pegged at 100% instead of all of them).
If i wake my laptop from sleep while it is plugged into an external monitor, I will have a single cpu pegged at 100% trying to handle endless acpi interrupts. I have to hibernate my machine and turn it back on to fix it. Alternatively I can unplug the monitor before waking from sleep to prevent it from happening. I just hibernate instead of sleeping now.

3·18 days agoCan you do screenshots with btop? Would be nice to see if the cpus are being throttled for temperature. I believe btop shows frequency and temp by default.

11·1 month agoCould be security mitigations. They do mention mitigations on the last page to say there are new mitigations applied, but did not test the performance characteristics of them.
For my older CPU the impact mitigations have on performance are tremendous; ~20% if I recall from heartbleed and spectre. I have them disabled because it was making my computer a pain to use.

25·1 month agoThere is a summary at the bottom of the article.
Summary
macOS Tahoe’s visual interface:
- Fits largely rectangular contents into windows with excessively rounded corners.
- Enlarges controls without any functional benefit.
- Results in app icons being more uniform, thus less distinguishable and memorable.
- Fails to distinguish tools, controls and other interface elements using differences in tone, so making them harder to use.
- Makes a mess where transparent layers are superimposed, and won’t reduce transparency when that’s needed to render its interface more accessible.
Maybe this is because I’m getting older, but that gives me the benefit of having experienced Apple’s older interfaces, with their exceptional quality and functionality.

I am glad I’m on Fedora’s package repos. Not that this can’t happen on Fedora, but it is less likely than with AUR. I ran Arch for a bit but got tired with updates breaking things. I’m just not the tinkerer I was anymore.
Ah shoot. Didn’t realize this was the self-hosted community. My bad.
I’ve enjoyed ProtonMail quite a bit the last year.
FWIW, installing steam used to also install both architectures on my machine. I use the flatpak version now because it kept causing conflicts years ago.
