devs: "hey, please do not comment 'any updates?' to issues. we know. we're
working on it. yes, even if there are no comments. it could take years, yes.
you're disrupting our work with those comments"

Psy Chuan :therian:<p>Valve are apparently removing games with AI generated
assets from their store, text or imagery, unless you can prove you have licensed
all the works in the dataset used to train your AI. nice.</p>

Ridley @ WATCH LYCORECO<p>welp, if anybody&#39;s looking for a staff SWE with
expertise in media handling, ffmpeg, C, C++, x86, ARM, reverse engineering, libc
customization, network APIs, TLS, and plenty more… hit me up</p>
Asahi Linux<p>If you are getting pacman errors fetching the `community` repo,
please comment out the `[community]` section in `pacman.conf`!</p><p>This repo
was deprecated in upstream Arch Linux, and it was supposed to be replaced with
an empty repo to ease the transition and avoid breaking users. Unfortunately, it
seems that Arch Linux ARM didn&#39;t get that memo and deleted it entirely, so
you&#39;ll have to manually remove it from your config to continue using
pacman.</p><p>As this issue relates to the Arch Linux ARM upstream repositories,
unfortunately there is nothing we can do on the Asahi side to ease the pain.
Sorry for the trouble.</p>
Hector Martin<p>LB: I wonder what the /r/AsahiLinux equivalent would be. Only
allow posts about problems watching Last Week Tonight on Asahi? 😂 </p>
EVHaste<p>In response to threats to forcibly remove moderators if subreddits
don’t reopen, /r/pics polled it’s users and has chosen to reopen after changing
its rules to allow only sexy pics of John Oliver.</p><p>Malicious compliance at
its finest. Way to go, fam!<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Reddit"

Janne Grunau<p>We found the next broken on X11 feature affecting <span
class="h-card"><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/@AsahiLinux"
class="u-url mention">@<span>AsahiLinux</span></a></span><br />Sasha wrote a
tiny touchbar daemon which displays F1 to F12 and translates touch events into
“virtual” keys. This works as minimal viable touchbar implementation on the m1
and m2 13” macbook pro.<br />However Xorg’s input doesn’t combine modifier keys
from the keyboard with function keys from the touchbar. Ctrl + Alt + F3 doesn’t
work.<br />Works as expected under wayland with gdm, gnome and plasma. <br
/>Probably a tiny minority of our user base but 🤷‍♀️</p>
Asahi Linux<p>Tip: If you want to persistently set your battery charge threshold
to 80% with the latest kernel, try this:</p><pre><code>echo
'SUBSYSTEM=="power_supply", KERNEL=="macsmc-battery",
ATTR{charge_control_end_threshold}="80"' | sudo tee
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-battery.rules<br></code></pre><p>Reboot and you should see
the threshold automatically set to 80%! This will work no matter what your
desktop environment is, and does not need any extra packages or
tools.</p><p>Remember that you need 13.0 system firmware or newer for this to
work, so update your macOS if needed!</p>
Hector Martin<p>On a complete coincidence, I stumbled upon a HN thread about a
blog post I wrote back in 2013, and was curious about how the quality of the
discussion had changed since then.</p><p>I can confirm it&#39;s gotten worse. 10
years ago, on a thread about cryptography, you could actually find a couple
people who actually knew what they were talking about, among the sea of people
being confidently wrong.</p><p>Today, I guarantee pretty much ~everyone in a
subtle HN cryptography thread would be confidently wrong.</p>

Asahi Linux<p>If you experience issues with Chromium or Electron-based apps
after updating your packages, clear out the GPUCache folder!</p><p>You can find
it at <code>~/.config/chromium/Default/GPUCache</code> or similar paths for
other apps.</p><p>Upstream issue: <a

Asahi Lina (朝日リナ)<p>I get a lot of questions about my Linux voice chain! Here's
what it looks like~ 🎤</p><p>It all runs on Carla on my M2 streaming machine
next to OBS and Inochi2D! All the plugins are from the LSP, x42, and Calf packs
(except DragonFly which is stand-alone), all open source!</p>
lori<p>Cohost's financial update is a poster child for what I and others have
been saying for a long time now: the internet won't survive without
decentralization. You can't just make the next Twitter or Reddit or Tumblr.
That's a joke. Cohost was against decentralization but they've now learned why
centralization isn't feasible: only massive corporations with infinite VC can
afford it, and they hemorrhage that money and close eventually too.</p><p>The
internet is too expensive to work this way and it won't long term. We just got
complacent while there was enough VC to go around. It's pets dot com again. It
doesn't last.</p><p>And this isn't even about AP/fedi, while I like fedi this is
true with or without it. We have to go back to having websites. Not The(tm)
website for whatever, but lots of them. If you don't want to go to more than
one? Too bad, it's how things will be regardless. Having One website isn't
sustainable for corporations and isn't even vaguely feasible for little
guys.</p><p>You have to have lots of websites. I can run a small community for a
bit of my entertainment budget for the month or donations from a handful of
users who like what I'm running. You can run a mastodon instance for a small
crowd for very little. You can run a website off an old laptop laying around.
You cannot run a 130k user site and pay you and your friends $94k a year to run
it. It's not sustainable. I wish it was. It isn't. Sites have to stay small, and
there have to be enough of them spread out to spread out the financial load to
hobbyist levels. Sorry that you can't make a living running a site for your
friends to hang out on, but it's just how the math works out. Reddit can't make
money doing it, Twitter can't make money doing it, Patreon can't...they only
survive on being Huge Corporations Who Can Bleed Money. You can replicate
bleeding money on a small scale all you want but I wouldn't advise it. You can
however run a forum for your friends for the cost of Netflix or whatever.</p>
Hector Martin<p>Having to moderate warez in Asahi communities because people are
interested in native ARM64 builds of commercial games made with leaked source
code was not on my bingo card for the project 😂</p><p>I guess there had to be
*some* throwback to the Wii days :P</p>

Hector Martin<p>You can do a quick calculation to see just how much the screen
backlight is the limiting factor:</p><p>1 / ((1 / 7 hours) - (1 / 23 hours)) =
~10</p><p>That means that <strong>even if the rest of the machine, including the
LCD display panel itself, used absolutely zero power, you would only get 10
hours of battery runtime at 100% display brightness.</strong></p><p>That's how
power hungry the backlight is, relative to the rest of the system.</p><p>And
this has nothing to do with the OS... that's why there are only minimal gains to
be had for screen-on battery runtime for any workload that is largely idle or
CPU-bound. Asahi or macOS simply can't make a difference.</p><p>Future power
management gains will mostly be visible in <em>screen-off idle</em> (including
s2idle), and in things like reduced power consumption for video decode once the
hardware engines are implemented.</p><span class="quote-inline"><a
