I agree with you that the gui toolkit is pretty uninteresting from the users pov, or at least mine. I do wonder if the multi-threaded transcoding pipeline changes in ffmpeg 7 will improve performance in handbrake at all. I’m not sure if Handbrake calls the ffmpeg cli or not.
Ugh the caps lock key is too useless for the home row!
Oh lord that escape key bit is me
Oh yeah. Back in the late 90s I played all the games ported by Loki Games. I played the native quakes, portal 1 & 2. And using regular Wine and some winetricks I played about 300 hours of Skyrim and completed Mass Effect 1,2,3.
You probably remember the libc5 to glibc swap. Bad times to DIY distros.
Hmm I have come up with a bunch of neat solutions over the years. Where to start?
One time I broke the sudoers file on a distro without a root account, thoroughly locking myself out. I used docker -v /:/chroot to get myself root access to my root filesystem where I fixed the sudoers file. Protip always use visudo
Minification is a curse. Now hear me out… I’ve wasted so much engineering time trying to figure out why various build scripts fail in docker only to find there’s a tool = $(which tool) 2>/dev/null in there eating the real error. Which is missing because someone wanted to save a 100k by not installing it the docker image base image.
My point was more that it was a very rough release even for a .0 and the distros should have waited a bit longer before shipping it as a default. All said I <3 KDE and have been using it since 0.9.6 I think
Nice! How many 9s you got on that?
Lol. My gaming PC runs Debian Bookworm and KDE.
Oh how quickly people forgot about Plasma 4. When a Debian stable is released with Plasma 6 then I’ll know it’s ready for me. I don’t rush into major KDE releases anymore.
Not without real Firefox and ublock origin I won’t!
Same. I bought a fixer upper and haven’t moved in yet due to the very messy renovations I’m doing slowly on evenings and weekends after my full-time job. I’m almost to the point I can move in though.
