First, I don't know of an option to install windows directly on a Mac. Microsoft says to use "Boot Camp Assistant" which, as far as I understand, is a VM. Second, windows is heavier than Linux in terms of consumption and resources.

If your mac is struggling with linux, my advice is to try a different and lightweight desktop environment (xfce, lxde, ...), or get new hardware. Linux is about the lightest thing you can throw on there.

You'd have a better time installing Linux. On that hardware it's been tested many times and is quite lean (as opposed Windows 10). You can also runs decent amount of games by installing steam, lutris, or heroic game launcher.

It's PNG? I was hoping it would be a vector image to have unpixelated monster mouse pointer goodness.

You... need an account to use the browser? That sounds worse than Chrome. Why would people use it?

I feel like I'm getting nerd-sniped 😄 Believe it or not, writing tests, adding type hints, adding a formatter and linting, are actually more interesting to me than UI-work 😇

I'll see if I can make some time this week, but no guarantees!

That's their position for the next 2 months... after that they'll be able to just cash out a check to some politicians and it'll be forgotten.

The reactions here are why people don't join forums, don't ask questions, or choose to learn alone. "duh, I knew that". Yes, the dude didn't, which is exactly why he's frustrated. I think too many have forgotten what it's like to be a beginner and make a fatal mistake, which would explain the mocking responses here and things like recommending new linux users Arch.

Which is exactly the situation the dude was in. As a newbie, it's an easy mistake to make. Telling somebody who doesn't know "well, would you look at that, you didn't know!" is not just unhelpful, it's useless and condescending.

😄 understandable. Are you open to one or more of the things I mentioned being added? Strict type checking, tests, formatter, linting?

Attempting to get something working first and possibly adding tests later? Or are there other reasons?

Oh my... I'll eat my words about python maintainability. No unit tests, no emulation tests (with emulated services), no tests with a database, no formatter, no linter, no type hints, simple pip... The result is working, but I'm a little bit concerned about the nigh complete lack of testing and though they use an ORM (SQLAlchemy), I find the raw SQL therein (even if it's simple) concerning.

Besides that, the end result looks quite usable and it's nice to see an alternative to lemmy.

Qualcomm engineering director Trilok Soni recently confirmed that the company's Linux team published Linux kernel updates for the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. Qualcomm unveiled the SoC earlier this month, targeting a new generation of flagship phones and tablets supporting Android and Linux.

 

Scientist Jim Wild has traveled to the Arctic Circle numerous times to study the northern lights, but on Thursday night he only needed to look out of his bedroom window in the English city of Lancaster.

 

Black holes the size of an atom that contain the mass of an asteroid may fly through the inner solar system about once a decade, scientists say. Theoretically created just after the big bang, these examples of so-called primordial black holes could explain the missing dark matter thought to dominate our universe. And if they sneak by the moon or Mars, scientists should be able to detect them, a new study shows.

 
 

Telegram, an essential communication tool for millions, finds itself under scrutiny once again. Copyright holders have long expressed concerns about the lack of enforcement on the platform, and recent actions suggest Telegram is responding. Subscribers to Z-Library's popular channel recently noticed that several of the shadow library's messages have been removed "due to copyright infringement."

 

These findings may also explain the "missing plastic problem" that has puzzled scientists, where about 70% of the plastic litter that has entered the oceans cannot be found. The team hypothesizes that coral may be acting as a "sink" for microplastics by absorbing it from the oceans. Their findings were published in the journal Science of the Total Environment.

 
 

A new study from the USC Viterbi School of Engineering researchers, along with researchers from the Institute de Physique du Globe de Paris at the University of Paris Cité, has found that the increase in soil erosion in coastal areas due to desertification is worsening flood impacts on Middle Eastern and North African port cities.

Repositories are replicated across peers in a decentralized manner, and users are in full control of their data and workflow.

 

I've only found 2 in 1 / 2 monitors wide with aka 32:9. They call them "ultrawide" but IMO they should be called double wide monitors. Even the Samsung 57" Odyssey Neo G9 monitor, despite its size, is still just 32:9.
