lol Uplevel's """full report""" saying devs using Copilot create 41% more bugs has 2 pages and reads like a promotional material.

you can download it with a 10 minute email if you really want to see for yourself.

just some meaningless numbers.

I like to use suggestions to feel superior when trash talking the generated code

The best part is that he also says it in his podcast. I heard it from him like 2 days ago.

Why do podcasts have preroll ads now? in c/[email protected]

IME ad times are pretty consistent by podcast feed when they're artificially inserted like that.

When we're talking product promotions during the podcast recording, they're only consistent for a given episode, but that's what sponsorblock is for.

damn, 8 times? Are your ads too long or is your skip too short?

video controls change when an ad is playing on YT, which would be a pretty reliable indicator for an extension running at the client side. But that's more a UBO issue than sponsorblock when it comes to YouTube, as I'm not sure sponsorblock could do anything if the controls are frozen.

yeah, a few weeks ago I first heard a random US insurance ad or some crap like that, in English, when listening to a podcast from a different country. It took me a few seconds to realize what was going on.

We need Sponsorblock for podcasts

GitHub Copilot Workspace Review (matduggan.com)
 

GitHub Copilot Workspace didn't work on a super simple task regardless of how easy I made the task. I wouldn't use something like this for free, much less pay for it. It sort of failed in every way it could at every step.

Plasma 6 Wayland + NVIDIA (lemmy.world)

I've just upgraded to Plasma 6 on EndeavourOS and X11 works, but booting on Wayland via SDDM gives me a blank screen. The display enters power saving mode and switching to a TTY doesn't wake it up.

Anyone else having this problem, or with a workaround suggestion?

Uplay games on Linux (lemmy.world)

I'd like to try the new Assassin's Creed and Avatar, but they're not on Steam - which is how I play almost every other game on Linux. I know I might be able to install Uplay games using Lutris, but I'm not sure if the experience is as smooth as Steam + Proton.

Do you have any experience with Ubisoft + Lutris? Is there an equivalent to ProtonDB to have an idea how well a game runs?
