  • Where is Linux not working well in your daily usage? Share your pain points as of 2026, so we can respectfully discuss

  • Music production if you’re using sampled virtual instruments (i.e. Kontakt) just isn’t viable. The VST bridges work fine for most stuff and there’s some great open source effects plugins and Linux-supporting synths around. Reaper works great, and JACK mostly works once you figure it out how to set it up. Sampled instruments though…

  • The big red flag here that should warn away anyone from interacting with the project is that the maintainer clearly wasn’t using a standard library for time functions. Arrogant stupidity is a given in that situation.

  • Have you talked to people who use LLMs regularly? They’ll acknowledge hallucinations but will downplay them as much as possible - saying they’re low frequency and they can support them, while telling you about how they’re using it in an area they’re unfamiliar with. Dunning Kruger strikes again.

  • It was more that graphics hardware got a lot more flexible. Less fixed functionality meant that DXVK (DirectX 8-11 to Vulkan translation layer) was a lot more viable as you were able to emulate old behaviour on the GPU through Vulkan.

    Graphics APIs are a lot more „thinner“ these days as well. Creating a Vulkan renderer from scratch is like „first one must enumerate the universe“. But it means that DX12<->Vulkan translation is relatively straightforward, and all the crazy stuff is done in shaders which can be recompiled for different APIs.

  • Speaking of carbon, did scientists give up on lengthening carbon nanotubes at some point? They were supposed to be a miracle material as well.

  • Never stopped hating being forced to use that piece of monopolistic trash ever since I was on dialup when HL2 released. I buy everything I can on GOG.

    I especially resent how closed off the Steam Workshop has made the mod ecosystem for a lot of games.

  • Quantum computing can’t achieve better outcomes for general computing problems than classical computing can. It’s just possible to do particular kinds of algorithms with it (like Shor‘s Algorithm for factorising prime numbers) that classical computing can’t do. It’s still a lot of smoke and mirrors at the moment though.
