The Dutch student loan program is gonna be in a lot of trouble... (Dienst Uitvoering Onderwijs)

Yep, I really hope a future will become reality where Adobe has some competition and/or an incentive to port the suite to Linux. I just can't help but cheer on the sounds against Stockholm syndrome. So much of these "it doesn't work on Linux" is just the company intentionally trying to prohibit integration with open systems (looking at you HDMI forum). In the end I agree, though, when giving advice, it's best not to assume the "only gaming" use case.

From my experience it's still a common misconception and I think it's the largest potential group that can switch. Sucks that your usecase is unsupported, though. Just out of interest, what software can you still not run?

It's been a while since I've watched it myself, but remember them going into the ownership structure.

There's basically no way for them to not make it a subscription model.

Though, not the same thing. I really like the Dutch implementation for their old maps: https://topotijdreis.nl

Another Many-to-many example within this usecase would be "subscriptions". Users can subscribe to multiple channels and channels can have multiple users subscribed to them. You would use another relational table that stores the channel_id & user_id, with uniqueness for both together, since "being subscribed to one specific channel multiple times" doesn't make sense and perhaps put a column to store "hitting the bell" in there too.

This is a pretty interesting counter example: https://www.eteknix.com/running-yuzu-on-switch-gives-you-better-performance-than-native-gaming/

But, as others have said, exceptions confirm the rule.

This isn't a desktop app, but the editor seems quite solid: GrapesJS

At college some guys were self hosting a git server for a project but it went down. We resorted to a USB stick that acted as remote and was passed around. That was awesome to see, for about a day...

Thought it was a good opportunity to potentionally learn something new. Seems to have worked out.

I'd change

  • Git, for version control

I recently reinstalled RL after not playing for 2 years, running Linux for my gaming pc these days. Almost every time I open up steam, there's a multi gigabyte rocket league update. Is that normal? Can I play without updating every time?

Apparently my setup, running the steam deck UI for gaming on my TV, is registering as an actual steam deck. Also unfortunate that the non steam games don't count, but hopefully next year this will be all purple/blue.

TLDR; Does anyone know if there's an initiative to use the pdf rendering engines built into most browsers and used while printing a web page in more flexible ways? Ideally from javascript being able to get the pdf as a File.

I've been looking into download as pdf functionality we implemented at work. It's for a single project, relatively small, so we implemented it with html2pdf.js. There seems to be no better way than rendering the webpage as canvas and saving as an image inside PDF. Although I'm thankful that the project exists, with the lack of text selection, poor image quality and/or large file sizes, it feels bad serving it to the customer. Then I started to look into the printed version and I loved it. Learned some new stuff about css, being able to break a page before a specific element. Tables automatically repeat their header across a page break. I can also save this as pdf, better quality, 40x reduction in file size, yay! However, web api to start this is print(), no arguments, no alternatives. Putting this behind a "Download" buttons seems confusing for the end user. I'm amazed we can't use this built in pdf rendering engine in more flexible ways. (See TLDR for question)
