Not sure what called for this blatant personal attack. My post history speaks for itself, quite in comparison to yours. And Phoronix is well-known Linux website, and its test suite is in fact even referenced in various regression tests/patches in LKML (also not sure what/if any kind of kernel development you have done).

German news outlets reported that there were certain days, when this person received as many as three vaccinations within the same day. https://archive.ph/pqwVK (in German, original pay-walled)

Inertia, note that NEMA was developed in the early 1910s by Harvey Hubbell, who was a businessman — hence the socket is optimized to be cheap. Type F by Albert Büttner was developed more than a decade later in the mid 1920s.

Actually Type F is not that great as a plug either. It is also one of the older, overly bulky design, and predates polarity. And the shape allows you to cheat by inserting into an unearthed receptacle (e.g. CEE 7/1), and the lack of polarity makes the ground pads a shock hazard. Even with an earthed CEE 7/3 receptacle, the live pins are in contact first, while the ground pads still are touchable. There is also the additional annoyance that even within Europe/CEE 7 there is the competing and polarized Type E, necessitating that virtually all modern appliances come with an overly complex CEE 7/7.

The Swiss have developed Type J or SN 441011, which is a modern design far superior to Type F. The internationally standardized, but shape-incompatible version is Type N or IEC 60906-1, which is adopted in Brazil and South Africa.

My understanding is that it allows you to play planar video from a website, but not (yet?) side-loaded videos that are spherical/hemispherical. And the latter is what these people really wanted for this application.

My motivation was the “dead wrong expecting someone to step up like adults in the room” part.

See to the right:

Here you may post anything related to DeGoogling, why we should do it or good software alternatives!

Yes. If you mean “CLI” as for e.g. pacman install, it is a GUI (Electron) application, so I expect will install straight from e.g. KDE Discover and then run without you touching the shell.

Installing podman-compose with the immutable filesystem is fairly straight forward, since it is just a single Python file (https://github.com/containers/podman-compose/blob/devel/podman_compose.py), which you can basically install anywhere in your path. You can also first bootstrap pip (python3 get-pip.py --user with get-pip.py from https://github.com/pypa/get-pip) and then do pip3 install --user podman-compose.

There might be several misunderstandings:

  • Docker Desktop ≠ Docker Engine, and I think what you (and several in this thread) are thinking is actually Docker Engine. Docker Desktop ultimately includes a Docker Engine inside, but it does not appear you need that virtual machine (e.g. running non-Linux code). See: https://docs.docker.com/desktop/faqs/linuxfaqs/#what-is-the-difference-between-docker-desktop-for-linux-and-docker-engine
  • Docker Desktop is based on KVM, which already works with Flatpak. So this is not something new. For example, GNOME Boxes is available as Flatpak and provides a way to run KVM guests in SteamOS.
  • Starting with version 3.5 (the current stable) SteamOS already includes Podman with the default installation. And running the daemon-y Docker Engine “bare metal” is not going to be any easier with the immutable filesystem. While Docker Desktop solves this by using KVM, it adds another layer with performance loss, vs. just running Podman containers.

So what you want is already available, and no Docker Desktop is actually needed.

The was a GNOME FAQ that describes “guh-NOME” or IPA /ɡˈnəʊm/ as the official pronunciation, due to the emphasis of G as GNU. It does acknowledge that many pronounce it “NOME” or /nəʊm/: https://stuff.mit.edu/afs/athena/astaff/project/aui/html/pronunciation.html

Undervolting provides the chip with additional power and thermal headroom, and can improved situations where otherwise throttling sets in.

[–] ylai@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Yes. But one should also note that only a limited range of Intel GPU support SR-IOV.
