Thanks for the suggestion, but I really, really dislike voice to text input.

I use Microsoft SwiftKey for the same reasons, find it hard to switch or get used to anything else.

Having used SwiftKey since before Microsoft acquired them, I'm a little annoyed at all the shit they've tacked onto the keyboard (like no, I don't need Bing and ChatGPT in my keyboard, thank you very much). But nothing else let's me mix languages in the same way as SwiftKey.

I don't mind this. It's unreasonable to expect them to provide a free service forever without any kind of monetization.

Except that Spez can't convert those options until some time after IPO and probably only in a staggered way.

I never did Rails but I used Ruby for many personal projects in the 2000s.

When showing stuff to my coworkers or friends, I often joked how I tried to make my code look like it was already gzipped.

I have one of these, but only use it for SteamVR. Does this mean I can't update either?

AFAIK, the drivers come from Windows.

Edit:

From the article:

Existing Windows Mixed Reality devices will continue to work with Steam through November 2026, if users remain on their current released version of Windows 11 (version 23H2) and do not upgrade to this year’s annual feature update for Windows 11 (version 24H2). This deprecation does not impact HoloLens.

Well fuck. This headset is the only reason I keep a Windows PC around at all.

Man these are all things I'd love to see, don't feed me this kind of hopium BEFORE Barcelona.

To quote the author himself:

Great, do whatever you want. Just shut the fuck up about it, nobody cares.

But then he proceeds to do the exact opposite and posts a vitriolic rant about how everyone who doesn't use what they use is, in their words, and idiot.

I used them as well, and I know of at least 3 more coworkers who use them as well.

I got started when I got one for free with a used computer I bought. I've since then switch full time to using an MX Ergo (like OP) on my desktop, and a cheaper M575 I keep in my laptop bag.

I even game with them, and haven't touched a computer mouse in probably 2 years.

The MX Ergo is far superior to any other I've used, highly recommended.

Have you considered supporting Sixel for images?

Where is this template from?

My lifecycle was roughly Gentoo, Mandrake, SUSE, Debian (sid), Arch, Vector, Arch, Debian (testing), Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, Arch, Ubuntu, Manjaro, Fedora, and finally Debian (stable).

I used to like to mess around with the newest shiniest software but now I just want it to not be broken.

Hi all,

I'm in the market for a new big desktop replacement gaming laptop, and looking at the market there are almost exclusively Nvidia powered.

I was wondering about the state of their new open-source driver. Can I run a plain vanilla kernel with only open source / upstream packages and drivers and expect to get a good experience? How is battery life, performance? Does DRI Prime and Vulkan based GPU selection "just work"?

The only alternative new for my market is a device with an Intel Arc A730M, which I currently think is going to be the one I end up buying.

Edit 19/11: Thanks for all the feedback everyone! Since the reactions were quite mixed - "it works perfectly for me" vs "it's a unmaintainable mess that breaks all the time", I'm going to err on the side of caution and look elsewhere. I found a used laptop with an AMD Radeon RX 6700M, which I'm going to check out the coming days. If not, I've also found Alienware sells their m16 laptop with an RX 7600M XT, which might be a good buy for me (I currently still rock an Alienware 17R1 from 2013 with an MXM card from a decomissioned industrial computer in it).
