A reminder that you can change your #Linux desktop on your #SteamDeck to whatever theme you want! Not just the background wallpaper, but the themes themselves are all interchangeable.
I love how #KDE lets you make what is yours even more 'you'. I chose a cozy lofi image for mine and I adore it :)
Now when #gaming and I need my desktop mode, I can feel super snug looking at it ❤

More rooftop solar in cities would help solve NZ’s energy crisis – and build disaster resilience
New Zealad’s current electricity supply crisis requires immediate solutions.But we argue the government’s emphasis on importing natural gas and construction of centralised solar farms is a missed opportunity.
The case against gas has been highly publicised because of its greenhouse gas emissions and substantial costs.
But the government’s focus on large solar infrastructure in rural areas, away from our main centres, misses a chance to address two urgent issues at once – the need to cut emissions and to adapt to climate impacts.
Instead, we should plan local renewable energy generation, integrated into communities, to improve New Zealand’s energy security and disaster preparedness.

"Today I read yet again someone suggesting that using ChatGPT to rewrite code from one programming language to another is a great idea. I disagree: a programming language is an opinionated way on how to better achieve a certain task and switching between world views without understanding how and why they do things the way they do is a recipe for inefficient code at best and weird bugs at worse."
"I decided to test my theory with Google's Gemini - I've seen students using it in their actual coding (probably because it's free) making it a fair choice. I asked the following:"
"Convert the following code from Python to Elixir:"
The code looks equivalent, but it's only equivalent for the normal case -- if the input is bad, the Python and Elixir code behave differently. I think this is a good example of how LLMs can make translations that look correct but aren't in subtle ways.

I'm not really up on the latest, but I'm pretty sure cross language translation is a major challenge. I doubt that it would scale up very well. Imagine going into a cobol shop and having gpt rewrite cobol into a modern language and modern modularization and abstractions.
But I can imagine developing some good gpt tools that would help untangle the usual spaghetti code of a legacy system. I have some long ago experience with doing that, and let me tell you, legacy information systems can be a god awful mess.
PHILOSOPHICAL ROCK-AND-ROLL NOIR mystery has a fresh voice, memorable characters, and a powerful sense of place. Absorbing and satisfying read with a lot of nuance. A MINUS
