Linux@programming.dev•Introducing Audacity 4: New tools & a new look (download in post body)
20·1 day agoAudacity was bought by Muse Group and almost immediately implemented a “don’t you rather want to save on our cloud service instead?” pop-up and IIRC telemetry. Tenacity emerged as the most active fork without that shit and they since diverged a lot from Audacity.
OTOH the resources of Muse Group made this huge rewrite possible. The level of pain between using wxWidgets or dismissing pop-ups is higher for wxWidgets for me.
Maybe Tenacity is willing to throw away their homegrown developments to start fresh with the new code base. No idea.

Europe@feddit.org•Swedish minister defends strict post-Brexit removals of BritonsEnglish
21·1 day agoThe people […] did not vote in favour of […], yet they suffer significantly from it.
Yeah, that’s how democratic elections work.
I did not vote for my current government either and I’m suffering the consequences. I’m not exempt from any decisions I don’t like my government is making.

Europe@feddit.org•Swedish minister defends strict post-Brexit removals of BritonsEnglish
22·1 day agoIt’s easy to say that these UK nationals should have just followed the rules.
It’s exactly the Brexit rules they wanted in a fair and democratic referendum.
Reverse Brexit, join the EU, get all your benefits back. Easy.

Electric Vehicles@slrpnk.net•BEVs outsold every powertrain in August, so why is UK trying to roll back targets?
2·1 day agoGood ol’ fashioned corruption.
They write down that the current feature set will not be paywalled but mandatory account registration and paywalling future features are absolutely on the table.
Only partially. Apparently Direct2D (which to be clear is different from Direct3D) is very weird and progress is slow.
slopifying his codebase.
He didn’t. That’s the point. The slop code is a self contained dependency only used for the Linux build and not part of the actual paint.net codebase. His core user group (on Windows) will never get in touch with it.
I think everybody, including him, would prefer if there was a working implementation of Direct2D for Wine.
I think the point is that the developers doesn’t want to actually review the code which they can do with a self contained dependency which they then ship on a “take it or leave it” basis.
I kind of get it and I think it’s a more responsible approach than to vibe code the core engine of their application.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Ubisoft's FOR HONOR will block SteamOS / Linux on September 10English
772·4 days agoDirect link to announcement instead of low effort spam blog: https://www.ubisoft.com/en-gb/game/for-honor/news-updates/4WKJhG6v6C9sbCOZkFZ6wG/ranked-faq
Relevant part:
Competitive Update
Warriors, we are happy to announce that For Honor’s competitive experience is leveling up with the launch of Ranked Dominion and the rework of Ranked Duel.
The chance to prove yourself on a global level is here!
To reinforce a fair competitive environment, the team is introducing additional player safety measures. We are removing For Honor from the Linux platform to ensure a safer environment for our players as we cannot meaningfully deploy protection on this platform. This means that For Honor will no longer be playable on Steam Deck starting September 10th. We will continue to investigate different ways to improve our anti-cheat with the possibility of reopening the platform in the future.

Yes. So? Greenland and Iceland shouldn’t get any. Everything offered should go to Ukraine who actually want to become EU member.

Technology@lemmy.world•Linus Torvalds used AI to fix a Linux bug, and now LLM critics on Linux face an uncomfortable choiceEnglish
11·4 days agoThat’s gonna require a substantial amount more proof than a philosophical position taken by Linus Torvalds
“Linus Torvalds used AI to fix a Linux bug” <-- literally spelled out in the headline.
1600 commits contain the word “claude” alone: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Atorvalds%2Flinux+claude&type=commits
It’s so easy to find out, yet you insist that you are right. Hilarious.

It’s literally spelled out in the submitted article as well as https://www.xda-developers.com/linus-torvalds-will-loudly-ignore-anyone-criticising-ai-code-in-linux-fork-it-or-just-walk-away/ which is prominently linked from that article. Read first, comment later, don’t downvote others just because you are wrong.

That’s still Linux with Torvalds-approved LLM generated code. If you care about avoiding LLM code, all Linux is now poisoned.

2·4 days agothe BSD’s are still a few years behind
As long as many BSD developers (especial at FreeBSD, I think it’s a lesser degree with Net and Open) are Mac users who actively reject using any FOSS BSD on desktops/notebooks and only care about contributing regarding server stuff, this won’t change.
