  • It is impressive how I almost always hear about Claude stuff for paid programming services and never copilot. Normal search engine replacement stuff, I’ll hear almost exclusively about people using ChatGPT and Gemini. Then people self hosting, I’ll hear all the free stuff like Deepseek, Kimi, Qwen, …

    People just talk trash about copilot. I swear even Proton Lumo gets less heat and when people want upgrades, they’re all urging Proton to add the latest Deepseek, Qwen, Kimi, etc models to their algorithm. Microsoft has got to have one of the most hostile to themselves customer base to be rivaled only by companies like Oracle



  • I and I imagine barely anyone ever heard of Codeberg until the past year like me when I made an account and the website was loading at a snails pace. Github, Gitlab, and Bitbucket are way more established.

    Every employer I’ve worked for either uses Github, Gitlab, or Bitbucket in that order of commonality. Then any that self hosts uses Gitlab either free or Ultimate. I imagine anyone writing pipelines would like to stick with what they’re comfortable with. I imagine migrating gitlab ci to foregejo actions can be annoying especially on huge projects unless you’re already using something like Tekton to build out your own CI pipelines. How I see my project managers use Gitlab Ultimate features to link together issues, milestones, commits, merge requests, branches, epics, create filters for the issues boards, etc - I’m impressed.

    A lot of co-mingling between different groups within the organization to create some levels of siloed operations. There’s stuff like sharing user databases between Gitlab and other products that aren’t gitlab. API stuff where you make a gitlab account and it propogates to other services and that even includes stuff like group management in gitlab and other services non-gitlab. A bunch of stuff that I barely have to work to achieve like getting sonarqube or other services to easily integrate into Gitlab pipelines and create conditional actions in them and the merge requests comments to notify developers of findings. I have no doubt used very little that’s out there that offers easy integration into Gitlab and Github workflows.

    Our pipeline inserts milestone links into our changelogs. We use the Gitlab project wikis and release pages. We use the gitlab package and container registries. Self hosting runners is super easy. There are a lot of 3rd party services that host github and gitlab runners that are really click and they’re ready to go. I don’t have enough experience with Codeberg yet but Gitlabs CI file text editor and the browser embedded VS Code I find very useful.

    On Gitlab, these are very useful. I’d want something similar on codeberg rather than dealing with all that myself along with other key/token management

    https://docs.gitlab.com/ci/variables/predefined_variables/

    For the most part, I would expect people to go where they’re most familiar and at work they’ll be most familiar with Github and Gitlab and if you want your code to be seen, you’ll go where the bulk of developers are





  • I think first would be wait to see how well it can be decoded/transcoded on CPUs for peoples current equipment. Won’t be able to have as many concurrent streams as codecs with hardware support. AV2 hardware is probably years away. I’m certain AV2 hardware will succeed unlike VVC which had a blip of support with Intel then abandoned the next generation of Intel chips. I’ll switch to AV2 once it has similar adoption to like AV1 today so like 8 years from now I guess. I’m guessing similar amount of time for hardware support to be as ubiquitous. Not sure if it should be quicker with how dead in the water VVC has been for 6 years or slower because people upgrade hardware less frequently now and honestly h.264 is still good enough and AV1 is really good enough so any rush to AV2 will mostly be hyperscalers trying to cut down on bandwidth and storage costs


  • I’ll try it. I still want to make a move off of vs code/codium. I keep zed and lapce installed to keep an eye on but at work everyone uses vs code and its familiar to everyone. I don’t know why more people don’t give lapce a try or more attention. Zed seemed like it would be corporatized in some way since the beginning. I can see why editors like Kate aren’t super adopted with the lack of plugins like vs code but it seemed like Lapce has a pathway to be as extensible






  • what percentage of the 10 million people do you expect to buy a steam controller and how much would that compare to playstation, nintendo and xbox owners? That’s 10 million steam gamers that already have gamepads to play on steam and the other 85% playing with I’m assuming mouse and keyboard. PS5 has sold ~100 million where each package in a gamepad plus all the additional that you see in stores and have been purchased. Do you believe this steam controller will be hard to find and why? It seems to me that the manufacturing of gamepads is not a struggle considering how many are available and that the steam controller has a release date already rather than the machine or frame


  • I’m certain it won’t be a problem past a month. Primary input on PC is mouse and keyboard. The primary users for this gamepad will be steam machine owners. The controller for now requires steam. Some sunset of ~150 million people will buy this. I’d be surprised if this sold to even 10% in 5 years. It’ll be competing with the likes of 8bitdo and others that while they may have less buttons, no trackpad, it’s the amount of buttons devs design around. Steam controllers until they become overwhelmingly popular along with other controllers that mimic it, those rear buttons won’t be essential for gamepad native games. Steam controllers have nice to haves rather than being the minimum needed. Vast majority of gamers would be served by a $30 8bitdo perfectly well for their uses

    I’d expect the PlayStation and Xbox regular first party controllers and maybe even the premium first party consoles controllers to sell more than this and they don’t seem to have supply problems. Those are essential to the console experience. Steam controller is not to PC gaming






  • I suppose so. I’d rather they spell it out for simple readability. Like I don’t know what Krita means but easy to read. Kate text editor may mean something, I don’t know. Kdenlive is easy to read. Don’t know what the ‘den’ part is supposed to mean

    Apparently it’s “KDE Non-Linear Video Editor”. At least kdenlive is easy to read in my opinion
