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.

In a lot of modern work flows this is incompatible with the development pattern.

For example, at my job we have to roll a test release through CI that we then have to deploy to a test kubernetes cluster. You can’t even do that if the build is failing because of linting issues.

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.

Depends heavily on the market segment. I also work in Europe and in my 15 years as a software developer (the first 6-7 as C/C++ developer) I’ve never seen anyone use Visual Studio.

Works for me in Belgium. Weird.

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.

What would you do if you had a million dollars?

Thanks!

Interesting! Got any links that explain how to set it up?

I just got a laptop with an RX 6700M 10GB ans am eager to try it :)

There have been some efforts to run pytorch and StableDiffusion on ROCm. Not sure if that could be combined with this.

Sounds similar to my most recent Nvidia experience.

Not an option, there’s no room in our living room to put a desktop and monitor permanently.

I have had so many issues with Nvidia drivers, especially on laptops with Optimus. Black screens after booting, random breakage when updating, having to fuck around with OpenGL libraries all the time when you have integrated Intel graphics and Nvidia graphics on the same system. It’s just a pain for me on laptops.

Wouldn’t be such a big issue on a desktop, but I’ve had a work-provided workstation with an Nvidia and 99% of the time if something broke on that machine, it was because Nvidia wasn’t compatible with some updated kernel or libraries.

Intel and AMD have both provided us with a painless driver experience that just works out of the box all the time and is integrated in all the open source things (mainly the Linux kernel and the Mesa libraries for OpenGL & Vulkan). With Nvidia, you need to throw all that out and use their proprietary blobs for OpenGL and Vulkan.

Also, I just think Nvidia is a scumbag company, trying to force single-vendor proprietary solutions on the market by abusing their dominant position (pushing CUDA while refusing to implement any new OpenCL version for over a decade, so software vendors couldn’t just pick a competitive open alternative is one example, the original G-Sync is another). I prefer not to give them any money if I can help it.

That’s what I got from my past experiences as well, but I haven’t owned anything Nvidia since the Pascal (GTX 10x0) era so I wanted to check if anything got better with their open source efforts.

I mean that’s fine if that’s your opinion. But while they may be a mistake for you, I’ve found them to be a great compromise and enjoyed several of them for the past 10 years.

I have a normal laptop, a ThinkPad X1 Nano, which I love. I also have a desktop with an RX 6800, but I can only use that in my office, a cramped space which has poor Internet and is in an inconvenient spot in our house.

I’m looking for something that I can keep in the living room, and set up on our living room table to play some games with friends. I’ve had that desktop for almost 3 years and yet I’ve done most of my gaming since I had it on a 2013 Alienware laptop with an upgraded MXM graphics card.

Different solutions for different people.
