  • Am upgrading from thinkpad to framework 16 with amd. Looking for distro reccommendations.

    Jump

  • Sure, but even in those "few cases" Testing will get them soon.

    I did read at some point that Testing may receive security updates later than stable, might be in those cases in which backports come straight from unstable.

  • I don’t recommend going for (Debian’s/Devuan’s) testing (branch) as it targets a peculiar niche that I fail to understand; e.g. it doesn’t receive the security backports like Stable does nor does it receive them as soon as Unstable/Sid does. Unstable/Sid could work, but I would definitely setup (GRUB-)Btrfs + Timeshift/Snapper to retain my sanity.

    From https://backports.debian.org/ :

    Backports are packages taken from the next Debian release (called "testing"), adjusted and recompiled for usage on Debian stable

    So by definition, security backports in stable are present in Testing in the form of regular packages, right?

  • Issue with KDE Plasma 5 and Spotify

    Jump

  • I remember having some issue like that, but I'm not sure if this was the fix.

    Try unchecking "Show desktop notifications when the song changes" on Spotify's settings (right now it's under the Display section).

  • Debian 10 LTS reaching end-of-life

    Jump

  • Makes sense, thanks.

  • New to Linux: in which case would you stick with an "old-old-stable" release?

    Software incompatibility?

  • Size comparison between '24 and '26 Formula 1 cars

    Jump

  • At first glance the difference in width comes from the front wings, which protruded beyond the wheels in the '22 cars.

    So hopefully the wings last longer in wheel to wheel action.

  • The Future of F1: Showcasing the 2026 FIA Technical Regulations

    Jump

  • restricting the total amount used and basically anything else makes more sense

    Oh you meant eliminate the flow limit, I thought you meant eliminate the fuel itself. And I agree (with the caveat you said, also limiting the total amount).

  • Symfony 7.1.0 released (Symfony Blog)

    Jump

  • I particularly like the new Mapped Route Parameters.

    ❌ /show/{id}/

    ✔ /show/{id:document}/

    For multiple entities, it's cleaner and more beginner-friendly than using the #[MapEntity] attribute (which is still an option).

    And imo it's a good move to deprecate "not passing the mapping" even for single entities. With the mapping the behaviour is more intuitive and "feels" less magic.

  • Why PHP Usage Has Declined by 40% in Just Over 2 Years

    Jump

  • That's a valid opinion. And I admit that at some point you must move to some form of client-side rendering.

    I still haven't (for some admin panels too, and websites), so I don't feel the need to switch.

    Jump

  • Aren't you only saying, indirectly, that server-side rendering is "antiquated"?

    Unless you mean that mixing logic with templates is bad, in which case I agree.

  • You'll never get a promotion that way.

  • Funny story. 50 years ago, to this very day, a revolution occurred in which Portugal took down its dictatorship.

    The following day some public administrator/manager sent a letter complaining about people missing work!

    Translation after the letter

    Your Excellency Director General

    I inform Your Excellency that yesterday, April 25, 1974, several employees were absent from work, claiming that a revolution had occurred in the country.

    I clarify that this revolution was not authorized by superiors, and no justification was seen for the absences, especially as the service was considerably delayed.

    As the current legislation does not provide for absences due to the occurrence of revolutions, I submit the matter to your high discretion, in the certainty that it will deserve due attention.

  • What's the best concert or live performance you've ever attended, and what made it unforgettable?"

    Jump

  • The band played 2 early albums + their latest one in sequence. Listening to whole albums in one go was great for many reasons.

  • Do any of you program on non-US keyboard layouts?

    Jump

  • Fellow PT-PT ISO user here. And although I use PT-PT in the OS, both my mechanical keyboards' physical layout is DE ISO, which has most special symbols in the same place. (finding DE keyboards is easier)

    I've considered switching to UK ISO before. Typing brackets "[] {}" and a semicolon ";" is harder in PT-PT. Especially the curly brackets {}, which are really awkward to type with my small hands.

  • A library in a compiled language that calculate MFCC of an audio file?

    Jump

  • You don't need JavaScript for that - HTMHell

  • Not a fan of datalist:

    • Barely works in Firefox (need to click again after initial focus);
    • Doesn't work at all in Firefox mobile (if there is some magic to show the options, I don't know what is);
    • In Chromium and Safari mobile (tested through appetize.io), I don't like how similar it is to a select:

    Somewhat liked Chrome's implementation in Android:

  • HTML First

    Jump

  • I don't agree with the problem they aim to solve with those goals.

    But today it takes several years of mastering tools and frameworks to get to that stage. HTML First principles should allow people to unlock that feeling, and level of mastery, much earlier on in their coding journey.

    The onboarding process can be made easier for devs new to the project (junior or senior) with decent documentation. Just enough install/build the project in their local machine and understand the gist of the technologies.

  • CSS question: I don't understand image sizes! Maybe not as stupid a question as it initially appears?

    Jump

  • I don't have much experience using srcset but since you are still waiting for an answer... I'll point you to what is stated in MDN's docs.

    According to that, you use a "media condition" when the image is displayed in different sizes. Their example

    And you use 1x, 2x, etc (like your examples) when the image will occupy the same physical size.

  • CS2 wont start after update

    Jump

  • May be a coincidence, but it stopped launching for me too. Worked Monday and Tuesday, yesterday I didn't try to play, today it didn't work.

    Tried:

    • running "verify integrity of game files"
    • forcing Proton,
    • clearing shader cache
    • attempted various launch options, like vulkan, fullscreen, and windowed
    • update all flatpaks (since I installed steam through flatpak)
    • reboot
