Linux Patches Enable Apple M4 NVMe Support in c/linux@programming.dev
[–] Zangoose@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

My understanding from the blogs is that the extra load of maintaining so many downstream patches (both for rust support and all of the reverse engineered hardware support) ended up being one of the main reasons M3/M4 support isn't in Asahi yet. Now that a lot of the patches are finally getting merged into the kernel a lot of their other work can start moving forward

Samsung said to discontinue its Galaxy Z Flip lineup after the Flip8 in c/android@lemmy.world
[–] Zangoose@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Is it possible this is because of extra memory/storage costs? I thought Samsung sold way more fold/flip this past year so it seems weird to cancel the whole flip line to me

Windows Drops Under 60% in Global Desktop OS Share for the First Time in Years in c/linux@programming.dev
[–] Zangoose@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

The fact that the macOS usage is still only half as much as OS X after ~6 years is pretty incredible to me, especially since Intel macs have still been supported until the end of this release cycle

Docker images are hundreds of MB; a full game engine compiles to 35MB WASM in c/programming@programming.dev
[–] Zangoose@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

(preface that I've never actually worked with wasm before)

It seems like wasm64 exists though? Does it have any crazy limitations or is it just not well supported yet?

AMD will finally add HDMI 2.1 support to Linux in c/linux@programming.dev
[–] Zangoose@lemmy.world 45 points 3 months ago

Not that I want to defend AMD but the reason they haven't been able to is because HDMI is a private spec and the HDMI forum specifically forbade them from releasing the driver they tried to publish a few years ago (even though the firmware with the actual implementation is in the GPU itself and still proprietary). That's why 2.1 works on windows and not Linux with the past 2 gens of AMD GPUs.

Firefox browser has started shipping Brave's adblock-rust engine in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] Zangoose@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

They are quite literally taking the "if you don't like it, fork it yourself" approach. Who said they aren't going to make changes/improvements on top of it?

I don't see anyone else mentioning it but this is also probably because brave browser is published under the MPL license so the licenses are actually compatible between projects. They don't want to implement completely from scratch because there is a compatible existing implementation that they can build on top of instead of starting from scratch.

GameNative 0.9.0 is out - Includes exciting changes like initial Pixel 10 support, Steam Workshop support, Steam branch support. in c/android@lemmy.world
[–] Zangoose@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I was confused about this also, I've been using GameNative on a pixel 10 on and off since I got mine in October. Maybe compatibility just got a lot better because of fixing GPU drivers? I did notice a lot of games had issues but I assumed that applied to anything that doesn't use snapdragon

GraphiteOS is an unofficial, unaffiliated fork of GrapheneOS packaged as a Generic System Image (GSI) for Project Treble devices in c/android@lemmy.world
[–] Zangoose@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

It depends. I run GrapheneOS and it can pass everything except the most strict integrity check (which is just that you're using a custom ROM at all).

In practice most apps don't have any problems. Google assistant doesn't really work for me but I've seen posts saying people have gotten it working. Google wallet and Google Pay are also explicitly blocked by google, so they will never work.

[–] Zangoose@lemmy.world 23 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (3 children)

I think the reason GrapheneOS never did a GSI is because most of their security improvements rely on specific hardware calls that GSI abstractions don't provide access to. This probably would still be an improvement over lineage though, just not as secure as base Graphene is.

Clangd LSP support for C/C++ on NixOS? (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Zangoose@lemmy.world to c/nix@programming.dev

I'm working on switching over to NixOS on my desktop and one of the last things I haven't got fully working is my neovim config. My LSP's are able to start, and all of them work fine except for clangd. For some reason, it can't find C/C++ header files for any installed libraries. I have all of the LSPs themselves installed through Mason in Neovim, and I have programs.nix-ld.enable = true enabled so they can be run correctly.

Here is the shell.nix file I'm using for this project:

{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:
pkgs.mkShell.override { stdenv = pkgs.gccStdenv; } {
  nativeBuildInputs = with pkgs.buildPackages; [
    glibc libgcc
    clang-tools libclang
    SDL2 SDL2_image SDL2_sound
  ]; 
  CPATH = pkgs.lib.makeSearchPathOutput "dev" "include" pkgs.glibc pkgs.SDL2 pkgs.SDL2_Image pkgs.SDL2_sound;
}

Is there something extra I need to do to get clangd to find the C headers being used by the project? when I actually run gcc it compiles fine, it just can't seem to find them correctly in Neovim

Edit: Forgot to mention that I'm using this shell with direnv and launching nvim directly from the same shell that I'm compiling from

Pipewire/Wireplumber set volume based on node name (lemmy.world)
 

I have a virtual source and a virtual sink which I'm using to forward audio to/from chat apps (Matrix, Discord, Zoom, etc.) so I can control the mic/output volume independently of everything else on my system. I have them setup and working fine using pipewire.conf.d files. The problem is that using wpctl to change volume requires having an ID, but those aren't static. Normally the solution would be to use @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SOURCE@ (or sink), but that wouldn't work in this case. Is there a way to adjust volume/toggle mute without having the ID? Or alternatively, is there a way to get the ID for a specific node name that I can put in a bash script?

If I'm asking this in the wrong place, is there a better place to go?

Bytes feed not working again (lemmy.world)

My bytes.programming.dev's main feed is erroring again. It looks like everything else is loading fine, I just can't see anything on the timeline for some reason. Is it the same DB issue that was happening last time?

EDIT: I just checked and it seems like it's back

Bytes.programming.dev timeline issues? (lemmy.world)
 

Not really sure if there is a better place to put this, but is bytes.programming.dev having issues for anyone else? I can log in but my timeline doesn't load at all.

What's the impact of distrobox (and by extension docker/podman) on battery life? (lemmy.world)
 

I'm trying out NixOS on my laptop right now and I'm loving it so far, but I was thinking of setting up distro box for ubuntu (mostly for a few developer environments dependent on it) and arch (for packages that aren't on nixpkgs yet). I was wondering about the battery life hit on a laptop and I couldn't find anything definitive on google/ddg. Has anyone here noticed a difference?
