gamer!==gamer. These are your own choices. For me Assetto Corsa + other racing games + CS2 work perfectly. And with sway/i3, unlike in Windows, I can throw the game around in whichever way I wish. No laggy alt-tab or random crashes that my Windows user friends often have.

I'm a contractor so have worked on a lot of different projects for different companies, big and small and also early startups.

This is far from truth imo. It is very possible to only use (F)OSS. Github, AWS, Azure, Vercel are not at all more pleasant or easier to work with than on-prem Gitlab/gitea/codeberg/jenkins/k8s/kibana/prometheus/grafana.

I could spend an hour and have a full setup done on physical or VPS to have 1) remote git hosting 2) pipelines running on changes 3) pipelines publishing images or some artifacts 4) automated deployment for these images/artifacts

I'm struggling to see what am I missing. What is worthwhile that Github offers? It is popular and easy to set up org+repos, but that seems it. A few years ago I was working on Azure Devops with the azure pipeline and that was the worst developer experience I've ever had. AFAIK Github actions uses the same syntax and works the same way, at least it was at that time.

What you're missing is maintenance, security, scaling, and protection from data loss.

Bespoke CI is easy to build but no one wants to be in charge of rolling out a critical security patch to that on-prem box no one's touched since that consultant from 2 years ago.

Your CI has to be fully codified, stateless and possible to redeploy with a single command. That's the only way it can remain sustainable. No persistent hidden state, no manual configs (even as an option!) and automatically rebuilt on every release as the new version is deployed.

As a really big bonus, that also makes your CI testable.

In the previous job, we built such a thing: https://smarketshq.com/building-a-reproducible-ci-system-for...

Yes, totally agreed in theory, and it sounds like y'all built a great solution for your use case. But it takes substantial effort and discipline to do something like that at scale.

At some point, you develop complex interdependencies with other systems. You need sophisticated caching for optimum build performance. Techniques like GitOps are unsustainable at a certain number of engineers/commits per hour.

ah that point gha is not much of an help anyway

This sounds like a week or two of work to me (I'm a novice though). You should write a guide.

I've seen new cheap LG tv-s with horrible port selection while their premium OLEDs have everything necessary (except Displayport).

I had my LG C9 audio via the headphone jack going to amp and it worked fine. On one of the cheaper LGs I set it up similarly with optical cable and a tiny optical->rca converter.

Very good analogy I'd say.

Also similar to what Temu, Wish, and other similar sites offer. Picture and specs might look good but it will likely be disappointing in the end.

Most of that is clearly going to his own charities for tax benefits.

I think the product is good. But, I won't buy one until Elon either admits to and apologizes for all of his past bad acts, or has no control over the company anymore. Unfortunately, I think neither is likely.

Is this the same product that killed people because the electric doors wouldn't open after a crash and they perished alive in a fire?

Other than the nonintuitive emergency door opening procedure, it’s a good product. ;-)

(Apparently they’re looking at addressing that particular issue: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/573575/tesla-is-looking-to-...)

I disagree. It has everything to do with ideologies. He seig heiled on TV twice; that's not something they will ignore.

It's both for many people.

Wayland+sway switch from x11+i3 is so simple and works so well. Only minor annoying thing not working for me are right-click context menus on some applets like Blueman and Steam.

One’s minor annoyance is someone else’s dealbreaker.

With a tiny tiny caveat of wanting to run Nvidia drivers instead of nouveau.

Nvidia's official drivers have supported Wayland quite well since the 550-series. If you haven't tried it in a few years, now is a great time to give it a spin.

LLM generated Javascript to process payments sounds insane. No need to create stuff just because it's possible.

All vertical videos I've uploaded have automatically turned into shorts and there doesn't seem to be a way to toggle this.

Add black bars manually or make them longer than 3 minutes.

Is it a real app anyway on that platform? I doubt it.

Last time I checked, the LG webOS app was just running tv.youtube.com which only expects a TV-specific user agent.

I've been using YouTube.com/tv with a Samsung agent for years. Although I did have to recently switch from abp to ubo because abp stopped playing videos for me.
