wow a Unison comment on the wild! What kind of stuff have you done with it?

Absolutely agree. I know much more about operating systems and software that the average person, and I’ve only been able to handle a number of Bazzite issues with Kagi Assistant. Trying to find how to fix something on forums and regular search is extremely time intensive.

Of course keep in mind that if you’re messing around with your OS you might just screw something up and have to reinstall, but so far I’ve not had anything even close to that. Bazzite seems to be pretty hard to break.

Really for me, Linux only became fun once I started using chat tools to help me learn how to make it do everything I wanted. And I’ve been using Linux off and on for work and at home for twenty years. It’s just sometimes really arcane, and the differences between opensuse, Ubuntu, fedora, and mint made it feel like I never could learn how to fix things.

Sometimes things are harder than I want or just aren’t working right out of the box. But then sometimes I’m able to do things that are actually impossible on other operating systems. So it’s really a trade-off. Also it’s getting better every single day. There was an issue I had last month with a controller, I messed around for 30 minutes but couldn’t get it to work. I tried it last week and it just worked. So don’t lose hope entirely.

Same thing I said the other post, be sure it’s a device with removable battery or a battery bypass so it doesn’t turn into a spicy pillow and catch fire

It all started with that smile… that damned smile

I’ve been using Bazzite for like a year now and it’s great. I legitimately love using it and so far it plays all the games I like and it’s much more stable than Ubuntu was

I know it blew my mind too when I first started building this! It’s such a cool project to get to build!

Wow thanks! If you like this, on Monday I’m planning to release an update that will let you rewind the viewer all the way back to 1959 and see the first launch of Sputnik. Then let it play forward to today sped up so you can see the growth of satellite counts. Also a new public API to fetch the TLEs from any date. I’m hoping this will let folks do interesting stuff with all that data - maybe AI training or research projects etc.

Wow thanks so much!

Yes, so I’m taking every telescope/radio/radar reading I’m allowed to redistribute and then collecting them into a time series database and fetching the most recent reading for each sat into a text file. That’s the TLE download in the public API. Then I use Rust WASM to propagate those readings into positions that are synced with the viewer time. This allows us to very roughly forecast where they will be for the next couple days.

It’s cool because it’s too much data to transfer over the network, so we only transfer the most recent reading and then calculate positions live in the browser.

Green is active, orange is debris or dead sats. When a GEO sat runs out of life / power / fuel the operators are supposed to move it out of the main corridor to make room, so often they are in the same ring but higher or lower

Yeah that’s what my one guy said was enough at the time, and we’ve got some European partners who never brought it up, so maybe it’s good enough with the banner?

I’m not familiar, what is the law, that we cannot use authentication cookies or google/twitter analytics cookies?

Indeed, that’s a joke I’m always saying, that every sat is the size of rhode island

Hey I am into this! Check out this site I built for tracking satellites!

Firefox on Android is pretty good and you can still install an ad blocker.

It’s worth a try, you should be able to run an Ubuntu image in distrobox to install the ollama tools

The biggest thing I’ve heard people suggest (and I’ve been using) is to install distrobox. I use it to install some fussy apps that otherwise would have been a dealbreaker. Maybe that helps?

Congrats!

I concur, I went with bazzite for my daily driver and it’s been the best yet, I prefer it over the others I’ve tried: Arch, SteamOS, Fedora, Ubuntu, Mint, and OpenSuse.

It’s got downsides, but I just really like it.

Whoa whoa, what do you want to do, crash the entire US stock market over here?! Our whole economy is propped up by the story that AI is the future and will replace all jobs forever. We’ve got MS paying OpenAI paying Nvidia, and that’s making the line go up.

So let’s be cool with throwing around “numbers” that “prove” the emperor has no clothes. Because, like, we gotta pretend he does at least until the next thing that needs every video card ever.

yeah, but like, fuck cars
