    I remember listening this song but didn't know there's no official version available. That's kind of.. Odd because it's quite a well known song

  • If you have installed Linux on a Microsoft Surface Pro, what was your experience?

    Quote of the day:

    "Naturally, were I to buy one, I would have to install Linux onto it."

    That really explains my first day.

    I installed Arch on Surface Pro 6. And have GNOME and KDE installed. Pen and touch works perfectly (when it works), like it recognizes pressure, but sometimes need to restart the surface after putting it in standby because it fails to detect pen(and touch as well).

    Camera is kinda wonky, it kinds works with cheese but not with other applications, and I couldn't manage to make the back camera work.

    WiFi and Bluetooth works fine (there are some issues with bluetooth when standby but haven't looked much into that)

    Downsides

    Neither KDE nor Gnome is optimized to operate as a touch DE. Pen on KDE is detected as mouse(well its detected as pen but proxy as mouse input if a program doesn't support pen; like if I try to scroll firefox using pen, it works like I have right clicked mouse and am dragging up, so selecting text instead of scrolling), but touch works as expected.

    And UX for on-screen keyboard(OSK) is not on par with Windows. It kinda works with GNOME, like a program window slides up if it were to be overlayed by OSK but its still wonky. And I didn't had good xp with OSK.

    But overall, I like it. Its not really powerful enough to do any development, but I use it for multimedia and eBook reader

    I never understand the concept of therapy. I always think of it as a fancy way to say helping so called "neurodivergant" to mold into " neurotypical" person

    Currently, they are specifically advertising that they can provide really large amount of power for very short time. I don't know where I read this but CERN is storing discharging some big capacitors to jump start LHC, and gravitricity can provide same power by parallely lowering heavier weights. source required

    I have been following them for a few years and they are making some slow and steady progress From their page: As the world generates more electricity from intermittent renewable energy sources, there is a growing need for technologies which can capture and store energy during periods of low demand and release it rapidly when required. At Gravitricity we are developing innovative, long-life, underground technologies which store energy safely and deliver it on demand at a lower lifetime cost than current alternatives.

    First, they restricted code search without logging in so I'm using [sourcegraph](https://sourcegraph.com/search) But now, I cant even view discussions or wiki without logging in. It was a nice run

    Stumbled at this while exploring small web. Not sure if it belongs here but however they are living is pretty solarpunk From about us: Hundred Rabbits is a small artist collective. Together, we explore the planned failability of modern technology at the bounds of the hyper-connected world. We research and test low-tech solutions and document our findings with the hope of building a more resilient future. We live and work on a 10 meter vessel called Pino, we have sailed around the Pacific Ocean and realized how fragile the modern-day computing stack was. Living in remote uninhabited parts of the world has offered us a playground to learn how technology degrades beyond the shores of the western world.
