Jure RepincOPto RISC-V•RISC-V With Linux 6.15 Adds Support For BFloat16 "BF16" Instructions [and more]English4·12 days agoI would guess these are for device-tree specifications and run-time detection of what extensions some RISC-V CPU supports. Also might be some support for using these extensions in some common kernel code that is used by other parts of the kernel. But to be sure we would need to check the commits themselves.
Well as they mention it, they do know.
It does not break anything. Just uses C++ and builds upon it and improves it. And MOC comes in when some niceties are required that are hard to do with plain C++ (and be backwards compatible) or when more flexibility is required. If you know how to do it better, well Qt is free (as in freedom) and opensource and you can join the project and replace MOC with a better implementation. Until then it is a not so important detail and foolish to throw away entire Qt and all the numerous goodies and nice things that it brings just for this small detail.
What’s wrong with it? It is basically invisible and all done automatically in the background by the build system.
Jure RepincOPto RISC-V•Geekbench 6.4 introduces support for RISC-V Vector Extensions (RVV)English2·3 months agoLooks like the new version with RVV support improves the benchmark score quite a bit. My BananaPi BPI-F3 gets about 80% higher score than with previous version of Geekbench.
Jure Repincto Linux•Fedora KDE Desktop promoted to an Edition, same as Fedora WorkstationEnglish2·5 months agoYeah, most newcomers don’t even know about the spins and labs since they are quite hidden. So this is a great thing for getting Fedora KDE Spin on an equal footing in visibility and promotion.
Jure Repincto KDE@lemmy.kde.social•Fedora KDE Spin will be upgraded to Edition statusEnglish5·5 months agoYeah they are more visible/promoted and offered for downloads on the same equal level as other editions. Otherwise spins and labs can be quite hidden from peopel who do not know they exist.

Jure Repincto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Meta is pushing for the government to use its AIEnglish2·6 months agoAnd even if you are paying for it… Unless the product is opensource and free as in freedom so you can for example self-host it, study the code, change the code (or contract someone else to change it for you) so the product runs just as you want.
Jure Repincto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Yet another "What distro should I use?" post, but at least I did some homework.English5·6 months agoI am also gaming a lot and used nvidia in the past and by the description you give I would say openSUSE Tumbleweed is the one. It is rolling release, but they also have extensive QA tests before letting packages get released as updates so it is very stable for a rolling release. And another thing that openSUSE is awesome for is that they have BTRFS snappshotting very nicely configured out of the box so before and after each update it creates a snappshot and if something goes wrong you can just select an old working snappshot from GRUB boot menu. And with Nvidia this breakage was happening well more often the I would like. I also like their Open Build Service where you can find many additional packages which might not be packaged by distro people themselves.

How stupid and corrupt can all this get? We will die sooner then come to senses and end the corporate neoliberal corruption.

Oh yeah. Can’t wait for this. Bad session management/restore is basically the only major thing I still miss a lot on Wayland. Hopefully Firefox and other apps will gain support for this soon (I guess all Qt/KDE apps will get support at once when they also add support to Qt and KDE Frameworks). Anyways I just opened the enhancement request for Firefox for this just hoping they will add support soon.
