source: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-DRM-Panic-BSoD-Picture

With Linux 6.10 the initial DRM Panic code has landed as well as wiring up the DRM/KMS driver support for the SimpleDRM, MGAG200, IMX, and AST drivers.

Just a reminder that my Pixel 4a running @CalyxOS is still rock solid after months of use. No issues at all. No ads, no tracking, no bullshit. No need for a new phone for many years to come. Long live CalyxOS! :)

Oh FFS, #GNOME #developers are so #dumb and #stupid, they can't fix their #bugs and always refuse to add #features. So much for a #FOSS / #OpenSource / #OSS project

*le sigh*

Wait, why is everybody against me? Surely I'm not the problem right?! I was just criticizing 🙄 🙄 🙄

WOW WOW WOW is my initial reaction to the Ditto community server

It is exactly what Nostr needs and what I had hoped atproto would have

It is even compatible with Mastodon API

--previosly nostr relays, storage and ids were complicated
--atproto lacks the ease for self hosters to build their communities compared to those on activitypub

So, thanks to all the replies, I’ll be redoing a bunch of my work tomorrow using OBS.

So, in short: if you want to record screencasts and you care about the quality of your work: DO NOT USE THE BUILT-IN GNOME SCREEN RECORDER. It outputs low quality videos and you cannot change the qualiy.

Use OBS instead.

*le sigh*

G’night!

FFS, GNOME! Just wasted a day of editing video because the built-in screen recorder records screencasts at such a low quality that I ended up with keyframe artefacts / ghosting in my captures.

Bloody hell…

And is there any way to set the quality? Is there ever!

[Edit] Use OBS. (Thanks everyone in the replies.)

(Don’t use GNOME’s built-in screen recorder if you’re posting HD+ videos.)

Just wasted a day of editing thanks to this. See the ghosting in the latter part of the video and the low quality in general.

We have a new awesome service for TROM.tf - TROM READ - https://read.trom.tf/

Basically you can save any page (with images) to your trom.tf account. You can highlight parts of it, add tags, add collections, even create a sharing link to share it with others. This is an amazing tool for research.

You can read more here https://readeck.org - and ask for an account if you want one since for now there is no open registration feature, but we can make an account for anyone.

And do not forget to install the browser extension and connect to your read.trom.tf so you can save any webpage faster.

Please consider supporting TROM financially if you can so we can provide more such services - https://www.tromsite.com/donate/

Damn Small #Linux with a new mission

Meanwhile, in 2024, nearly everyone has abandoned the sub-700MB size limit to run on computers old enough to not have a DVD and cannot boot off of a #USB drive. This is completely understandable because applications, the #kernel, and drivers have all mushroomed in their space requirements. Hats off to Puppy Linux for staying one of the few that still offer a full #desktop environment in a small size.
