Linux & Tech news πŸ“°

New features every week, why they do not fix the old issues first :wink: ?

I have a dream.

All Linux dev's build One best of Linux, a bug free version and kill so M$ :wink:

I can't tell how HUGE this feature can be for me if well implemented. I have a 60% keyboard which uses a crappy, almost useless Fn layer, so I basically have some keybindings set to AutoKey scripts in order to use ~ or `, both of which are used pretty constantly in portuguese.

Because all the fun in developing is… well, developing. Tracking down and eliminating bugs is not exactly awe insping work. When a project is a volunteer effort the work that is interesting naturally gets the most volunteers to do the coding.

Nobody’s exactly jumping up and down screaming pick me, pick me, to volunteer to bug fix 10 year old stuborn bugs. Sad, but true.

Apparently when a Google spokesman was asked for a comment over the firing of their highly respected AI researcher warning of risks in Google's application of AI technology, the response was a cryptic:

"I'll be back"

CentOS rolling is a very interesting OS, been using it for some time now.
Guess if I was running stable severs that having a rolling OS would be a little scary.

Damn, AMD users rejoice! It's almost like a Christmas miracle to have even a playable state day one for a DX12 game, even if it requires mesa-git to work.
