Sounds interesting, and promising! I'm no expert in streaming videos, but your shell reminded me of mosh [1]. Mosh's auth approach is also interesting - it leverages ssh for authentication, something that you might consider too. Mosh unfortunately has shortcomings though - mainly, it lacks tunneling ability.

This is so sad. Something like this already happened two decades ago - when GNOME 3 arrived, and KDE 4 - rough times, things broke and I had to do some distro (and DE) hopping - before settling again. Whenever you start to see a project mature and stable enough in Linux land, maybe even starts to gain unexpected traction, soon somebody decides it's time to "move fast and break things".
I sincerely hope KDE reconsiders X11 support; IIRC they proposed to keep it if the community showed still enough interest. Of course maintaining a dual stack requires double the effort, but if funding comes in, come on, maybe there's enough resources to keep X11 support alive - if feature freezed - a couple years more. There's still a few rough edges around Wayland that prevent me and others to switch.
At some point, you have to break legacy support. I do wish Wayland had been so compelling that everyone’d switch, but I doubt KDE has the resources to perpetually support both.
LEO satellites come down on their own in a few months/years. 100 tons of metal burning in the atmosphere seems a lot, but it's barely the total mass of meteorites falling in 24-48 hours, actually.
Misleading, because satellites are made of different materials to meteors. Satellites are the dominant injection source of 24 elements into the atmosphere, including Al, Cu, Ti, Nb, Co, Zn, Sn, Pb, Ag, Li, V, Hf, W, Ge, Mo, Zr, B, and Ba. This list includes many transition metals, whose catalytic effects on ozone and cloud nucleation are mostly unknown.
Copper in particular is a well-known catalyst for the destruction of ozone.
Sorry, you're right. My assumption was that, given meteorites are metal rich, and two orders of magnitude more mass, the human contribution was negligible. It turns out I was wrong.
A million satellites isn't going to be 100 tons; even if they're all on the small side, say 100 kg each, the total is 100,000 tons, therefore by your numbers if they last on orbit for 3 years they'd double to triple the mass rate burning up on aero entry. I think SpaceX actually talking about 1-10 tons/satellite making this more like 10-100x if they last 3 years, but between AI hallucinations getting and Musk's increasing disconnect from reality (let alone political toxicity) this is basically irrelevant. SpaceX won't reach these higher masses to orbit spread over this number of satellites regardless.
Aggravatingly, I have seen research estimating that even the much smaller number of satellites currently in orbit is already enough to be unstable with regard to a Kessler cascade, and any question about the realism of Musk's goals from finance and engineering limits is clearly not enough to prevent this kind of scenario. Which may result in other governments interfering with his ketamine supply to make sure their satellites aren't caught up in one.
Simplest helpful thing for the Kessler problem is "just"* have fewer larger satellites, and if Starship actually delivers the launch costs necessary to make space-based data centres worth the bother vs. just buying some cheap desert land, I anticipate Musk getting managed upwards by his staff in this regard.
Leave it to the chainsaw man who has already become the millenium's worst killer, to wreak yet more sad havoc and ruin upon the sphere. What absolute trash, what a mad frivolous pointless ambition meant only to crowd out anyone from thinking of this enormous mass stupidity, destruction. Taking up/taking over of space, for no clear stated reason or value except to steal from us all, to deny & claim from the rest. Madness. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/langlo/article/PIIS2214-1...
Must has clearly stated the reason and value. You know that. You're just trying to be wrong because the internet told you you'll be a good person for hating him.
Giant space data centers, up where what couple particles there are bouncing around are already 1000 degrees.
It seems like an incredible amount of pollution to make, to go lord over everyone's heads. This isn't a plan that has any empathy for the earth or reason, except to just deny everyone else access, to burn as much rocket fuel as conceivably possible. So no one else can. Just go build some terrestrial solar, please, thanks.
The man is the bloodiest butcher of the millennium and this is a vile stealing of shared human space. Your lack of actually saying anything and throwing random jabs my way to defend him is ignoble & distracting, adds 0 engagement.
His stated reasons for SpaceX and Starlink are to colonize Mars. Starlink is to generate money to pay for the rest of it. Whether that's true or realistic doesn't matter. It is what he said his reason is, disproving your claim of "for no clear stated reason or value".
Smooth scrolling also worked on the Amiga Cygnus Editor in 1986 - yes, 40 years ago - on a computer with 512Kb RAM and a ~7MHz 68000 CPU, and from keyboard too. And Zed complains at launch if it doesn't find a suitable Vulkan GPU driver, since the fallback CPU driver does not provide a smooth enough experience, despite 4-5 orders of magnitude more RAM, and a ~3 orders of magnitude faster CPU, than a 40 years old Amiga...
Isn’t this just a case of not wanting to or having the resources to maintain a fallback renderer?
Supporting basically-compliant Vulkan GPUs covers probably 99.9% of developer machines. You need a pretty big user base to make it make sense to support the last 0.1% of people without access to a proper GPU driver.
I hope Zed reaches that scale, since I really like the project. But right now I would be a bit disappointed if that was a priority.
I tried it with Qwen/Qwen3.5-27B UD-IQ3_XXS on an RTX 5060 Ti with 16Gb - the convert step succeeded, but upon loading the converted model I encountered:
Model load deferred: 'Qwen3_5Config' object has no attribute 'vocab_size'
My transformers version is up to date, and using AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained() should not raise this exception - what's going on here?
Minisforum, Gmktec also have Ryzen AI HX 370 mini PCs with 128Gb (2x64Gb) max LPDDR5. It's dirt cheap, you can get one barebone with ~€750 on Amazon (the 395 similarly retails for ~€1k)... It should be fully supported in Ubuntu 25.04 or 25.10 with ROCm for iGPU inference (NPU isn't available ATM AFAIK), which is what I'd use it for. But I just don't know how the HX 370 compares to eg. the 395, iGPU-wise. I was thinking of getting one to run Lemonade, Qwen3-coder-next FP8, BTW... but I don't know how much RAM should I equip it with - shouldn't 96Gb be enough? Suggestions welcome!
I benchmarked unsloth/Qwen3-Coder-Next-GGUF using the MXFP4_MOE (43.7 GB) quantization on my Ryzen AI Max+ 395 and I got ~30 tps. According to [1] and [2], the AI Max+ 395 is 2.4x faster than the AI 9 HX 370 (laptop edition). Taking all that into account, the AI 9 HX 370 should get ~13 tps on this model. Make of that what you will.
Debian Testing isn't really unstable - the dev wasn't exaggerating. But I'd also suggest Kubuntu (you can remove snap and all of its packages, and install Firefox and Thunderbird .deb's from the Mozilla repo)
You're thinking of Unstable (Sid). It's also not like Arch or Tumbleweed because it gets locked down during release freeze and then gets a ton of updates all at once.
Adding keywords in the relevant .desktop files should be enough to make this work in other DE's too. I just tried it in KDE (by adding a 'comment=... (like notepad)' line in ~/.local/share/applications/org.kde.kwrite.desktop), it works as expected
New to KDE and .desktop shortcuts were something I really liked coming from Windows. I can enter in whatever terms I want to use for an item to appear in search, no relying on filename.
Not much? Google would still have cloud services (which unlike Azure adoption depending on Windows/Office, only basically depend on the Internet), Gemini and Google Drive paid subscriptions, their flagship Pixel line...
I'm so surprised to see that folks rediscover Unison in 2026 :) It is a unique piece of software which has been around for 20 years or so. The two way sync is great but also a bit scary since it can wipe files.
