  • Great to hear, thanks as always for your hard work on keeping things running well.

  • Framework says it's selling more Linux laptops than Windows as new Laptop 13 Pro sells out first 7 batches

    Jump

  • This has more to do with the Windows frameworks costing an extra $140. I'm sure a lot of people will just buy it with Linux and then 'obtain' Windows on their own.

  • Framework Laptop 13 Pro and highlights from the Framework [Next Gen]

    Jump

  • Looks great, I was never a framework believer because it was so overpriced (to an extent it still is), but this sounds way better and might actually be a good deal. Aside from the specs bump, they fixed almost all of the issues with the older frameworks (CEO talks more about it in this video).

    Better build quality and less flex, better screen, better speakers, and a better touchpad. The biggest issue I heard about it was that it felt a bit cheap and wobbly because of all the moving parts, but if they manage to fix that, I might actually get it some day.

    Is it good? I'm very interested in it but too scared to google it because of potential spoilers.

  • What movie did people miss the point of the most?

    Jump

  • Not OP but:

    One of the big points of the franchise is that Scott is a loser. He's jobless and is leeching off his best friend by living at his place, he dates a high school girl because she likes showing him attention, then he ignores her and cheats on her with Ramona.

    When the movie came out, people thought Scott was a cool geek fighting to get the girl... That wasn't the message at all. The comics go way more in-depth because the movie didn't have much time for it.

    It's also implied that Ramona is kind of a loser too that runs away from her problems and waits for someone to fix them for her, hence making Scott deal with her "seven evil exes" instead of confronting them herself and making up with them.

  • I finally joined the retro gaming handheld club!

    Jump

  • Oooh yeah, I actually considered the SP at first but it wasn't in stock where I live. That might've been a good thing though, because the H is very comfortable to hold whereas clamshells generally aren't. But yeah, it's really hard to justify buying more than one of these.

  • I finally joined the retro gaming handheld club!

    Jump

  • Yup, your handheld has the exact same internals as mine, I think the only difference is that it's bigger and vertical. Good choice.

  • I finally joined the retro gaming handheld club!

    Jump

  • Maybe it's just a psychological thing, but I feel way more comfortable gaming on a dedicated device than my phone. I don't have to worry about losing all my phone battery, or getting popups and calls while playing, or having to exit the game to check messages etc... It's way nicer having it just be a handheld that does one thing well.

    why did you pick this handheld instead of many others?

    Form factor is the big one. I think the Magicx is basically the same size, I was also looking for something that would fit in my pocket without much issue. It's funny that you mention Android as a reason to buy one, I specifically looked for one that WASN'T Android. Linux handhelds are a lot simpler to work with and you don't have to worry about Android shenanigans like processes running in the background or having to sign in to Google and update apps etc...

    For me, most of the games I'm interested in playing are SNES, GBA, PS1, and some PSP. If you're looking to play PS2 or higher then yeah a more powerful Android handheld makes sense, but I didn't care for it that much.

    Jump

  • Normally I would agree, but Wi-fi on this thing adds a lot to it. It allows you to scrape box art and a short video that gets shown when you hover on each game you have, and it lets you connect to retroachievements as well as easily transfer files from your PC wirelessly with FTP.

    It's definitely not needed but it makes things a bit more convenient for me IMO.

  • Firefox’s new AI ‘Smart Window’ (only in beta builds so far) surprises reviewer by unexpectedly handing browsing history to 3rd party hosted models

    Jump

  • So I asked each model where it (thinks) it is hosted/running.

    [...]

    Can we trust those responses, or is it more mirage with plausible-sounding responses?

    Whoever wrote this doesn't know how AI works. They don't know where they're hosted. He could have asked Mozilla instead of panic-posting. This guy keeps saying his data was given to "third party hosts" but he has no idea who the hosts are, Mozilla could be the one hosting the models...

    Mozilla says this was a flub; it will refine the onboarding around Smart Window to limit memory formation to post-opt-in activity only. That’s obviously the right fix.

    So, false alarm. Try beta software, get software bugs.

  • µJS - Lightweight AJAX library similar to HTMX

    Jump

  • The library in the post itself is pretty new, so I don't think there are any real examples out there aside from the website advertising it.

    That said, its idea of sending HTML from the backend and showing it in the frontend isn't new - HTMX has been pretty popular the past few years and is basically the same thing. It's great for any type of website that doesn't update often, so anything that isn't a webapp or does a lot of things from the client side. There's a popular article of a company switching from React to HTMX which simplified the code heavily.

  • Introducing Zed for Education

    Jump

  • The Student plan includes everything in Zed Pro: $10/month in AI token credits, unlimited edit predictions, and real-time collaboration built into the editor.

    When your Zed credits run out, you can bring your own API key or add an external agent and keep going.

    Wow. I remember when Zed was just trying to be a less bloated VS Code alternative built in Rust... And it somehow turned into this AI-focused editor that's like a 500MB download. How disappointing.

  • I'm making a FOSS all-in-one file converter app - looking for opinions!

    Jump

  • Your comment posted 3 times so I'm guessing there's something with your internet haha

    I'm still deciding how "serious" the project is going to be, but if all goes well I will definitely add support for other formats. I'm already looking at adding Pandoc for document conversions.

  • I have a whole blog post talking about using Godot for GUI development. The short of it is that it's surprisingly good but has a few drawbacks, and it doesn't have a bustling ecosystem like webdev tools. I've yet to try it on mobile, though.
