You have to at least modify your sources.list.d manually first. For most people, updating sources.list.d and running full-upgrade will probably work fine…

The full instructions are

1. run dist-upgrade
2. remove back ports
3. remove obsolete packages
4. remove non-debian packages
5. clean up old configuration files
6. add non-free-firmware (this is a 12 -> 13 specific)
7. remove proposed updates
8. disable pinning
9. update sources.list.d to point to the next release
10. apt upgrade --without-new-packages
11. apt full-upgrade

It takes like an hour? but it’s still not “just press okay.”

Ubuntu’s has broken on some upgrades for friends and they had to do the whole Debian process manually, but it does try to automate the removals, disablements, and updating sources

Edit: instructions taken from Trixie release. I skipped some that aren’t really unique, like make a backup

AMD has been proving that x86_64 can be at least as power efficient as ARM over the last few years (given a floor of performance for like a phone/laptop… I doubt it can get as low power as a little ARM microcontroller)

It seems like x86 was getting so power hungry because of Intel’s laser focus on single core performance

They’re talking about a Debian 12 -> Debian 13 upgrade

On Debian, you get release notes on what commands to run.

Ubuntu has their own software update utility, separate from Software Center or Discover, that runs the commands for you

AMD 7840U mobile processor, laptop plugged in, power profile on performance. 32 GiB of RAM at 5600 MT/s

sysfs shows two cores at 4.7GHz while opening the vault

I assumed file size wouldn’t matter, as I’d think it’s just reading some inodes, but maybe it does?

I would argue that, prior to chatgpt’s marketing, AI did mean that.

When talking about specific, non-general, techniques, it was called things like ML, etc.

After openai coopted AI to mean an LLM, people started using AGI to mean what AI used to mean.

I can certainly understand why one of your libraries was bothering you if you’re merging 250,000 lines of AI generated code in a month.

The devicetrees between Android versions is effectively the same. They define the hardware

We won’t know the impact until they try to bring up the Pixel 10

You can get them off Aurora Store if you don’t want to install Google Services.

Yes, GOS adds the ability to completely disable network access to apps.

For magic eraser, that’s a separate app from Google.

Pixel Camera does night mode, editing tools are in Google Photos

The plugin YouCompleteMe would show a warning on that line

Depending on how you had it installed, Alpaca split support in the Flatpaks.

If you want AMD support, you need to install com.jeffser.Alpaca.Plugins.AMD

I never really looked into what they were doing with KPTI.

Assuming it’s accurate, that first one is a much better technical description, even if it was intended to spell FUCKWIT

Ah. That makes sense, then. Thanks!

Any idea why that’s needed when Organic Maps doesn’t?

My understanding is this is an early fork?

nvtop, while it sounds like it’s nvidia, is brand agnostic It actually stands for “neat videocard top”

It’ll show per process usage of memory and compute usage on most GPUs

I think you agreed with me?

I said the people who say Linux is so hard are the people that have learned so much about Windows that it’s ingrained in them. So when they try to switch, they get frustrated that it isn’t exactly the same

The vocal people saying it’s harder have a lot of experience with Windows, and know how to work around all of its deficiencies after being a power user dealing with it for 15+ years

With that mindset and not wanting to start over, Windows is easier

For casual users or someone who’s willing to learn, Linux is easier

Wasn’t France the one that started switching to Matrix and funded a bunch of improvements?

It’s great that Germany is doing the same, I just remember Matrix talking about money from France and helping the French government deploy Matrix for government use back in the day. A lot of the E2E encryption improvements were attributed to their collaboration with France at the time
