Being free from mind control means seeing idiots wearing tinfoil hats?

The joke in the OP stops at the beginning of the joke explanation. If you just share your honest opinion like that in a shitposting community, you can’t expect everyone to “play along” with your “joke”.

AMD has preemptively dropped support for Windows 10 on its new Ryzen AI 300 Series chips (www.tomshardware.com)

In another attempt to convince us that “AI PCs” are somehow fundamentally different from the PCs we’re already using, AMD has officially dropped support for Windows 10 from its new AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series platform. This can be observed by glancing at the official AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 specs page, which now only lists...

It will probably just work, even if not officially. If any weird Windows issues crop up, Microsoft may or may not fix them. I think AMD even provided workarounds and special drivers for Windows 7, just without any official support. They may not do that this time around though, since a lot of things have changed.

anyhow2503 ,

Pretty sure that the registry path for official images is “library” (at least it used to be). So it should be “docker.io/library/debian”, though I can’t double check at the moment.

Try to imagine that argument but coming from some government you really dislike. I can think of a lot of different media that might inspire violence and instability, but which would be really important for people to see or at least know about. Frankly, anyone who doesn’t see that as a potential problem is being shortsighted and really needs some historical perspective, in my opinion.

If the cable made a difference, then that may still be the limiting factor. It’s not totally unheard of for Windows drivers to be a little more fault tolerant or better tuned for suboptimal cable connections. If you aren’t already doing that, try using a certified cable that supports the bandwidth and features you require for your setup. Besides that I guess you could only try the newest kernel version you can reasonably install.

anyhow2503 ,

I know, I did read your entire post. As I said, it’s not unheard of for Windows drivers to be more fault tolerant in suboptimal conditions. For example: Windows GPU drivers in the early days of HDMI 2.1 needed a lot of tuning for tiny oltage adjustments to ensure signal integrity if your cable wasn’t exactly up to spec, basically compensating for a “bad” cable, whereas the Linux drivers at the time didn’t really try to do that. This doesn’t have to be the case for you, but it should be relatively easy to test.

I haven’t used TypeScript in a classically OOP way and it never felt like I was being urged to do so either.

There’s a reason for the early rise in popularity of independent gaming reviewers and it isn’t the hard-hitting, honest quality of mainstream entertainment journalism at the time. With the advent of influencers though, it feels like everyone is just regurgitating the same pre-approved, publisher-friendly nonsense. I’m sure there are exceptions, but it feels more difficult today to find an honest review when every random internet personality is signing sponsorship contracts that require them to praise the game every 20 minutes.

Then trying to nag you into saving it to some unknown unused bizarre gimp extension.

You mean saving a project file? The same way you’d save a PSD file in PS, so you can actually save all your layers and go back to make an edit? It’s been a while since I’ve used Photoshop, but I’m pretty sure both GIMP and PS offer two different workflows of saving/exporting your work and they are just named differently and have different keybinds. I have no idea how you can act like you actually tried to use GIMP as something other than a drop-in replacement for PS, but then call the default GIMP project file format “unknown, unused and bizarre”…

Except when X doesn’t fucking work ™ and hasn’t properly worked in literal decades. I don’t think I’ve ever managed to get rid of horizontal tearing with X. Calling X feature complete is pretty funny, but it isn’t. So many things were never fully implemented, because it’s just an impossible amount of work or would require some major rearchitecting. You don’t have to deal with updates because literally no one wants to develop it any further or even maintain it. The devs have moved on to Wayland or other things.

It’s fine if it works for you, but I’m getting tired of Linux conservatives projecting their own experiences on everyone else and declaring Wayland as “not ready yet” and handwaving all of X’s obvious problems away because they’re used to dealing with them. I’ve used Wayland as a default for all my machines for years. After a rough beginning where major features were still in development, now it works. XWayland works. Native Wayland apps work. I don’t have tearing anymore. I’m not going to pretend that that’s the universal experience, but a lot of people are using it just fine right now.

wayland doesn’t seem to support nvidia as well as X does, just due to development focus

Ymmv with Nvidia, but that has nothing to do with development focus and everything to do with Nvidia’s refusal to use the same interfaces Intel and AMD use. Most of the way Nvidia works or doesn’t work with X or Wayland is down to Nvidia’s driver stack. Personally I’ve not had much positive experiences with Nvidia on X.

Like yes major releases and distros are moving to wayland now, that just means they find it stable enough to start doing development on it.

That happened literal years ago. The reason you’re only noticing now, might be because KDE has gotten their Wayland implementation to a reasonably stable point. Gnome has supported Wayland for some time now and other DEs probably don’t have the resources to move on from X. I don’t see the distros that are only switching over now as major contributors to any development specific to Wayland.

I don’t take issue with your preferences. Maybe you’re better off with X for now, that’s fine, but you make it sound like Wayland is just full of issues and has barely even entered some kind of pre-release state for software masochists.

There are two ways to save your work in either program. You can save your actual work, so you can continue editing at some point and not lose stuff like layers, image quality and other information or you can export your work into some kind of image file, optionally compressing it and discarding extra information about the project. I think GIMP even offers a shortcut for this called “Overwrite …”. How is this an issue?

Consider what trace minerals actually means, then think about the tiny amounts of salt used for cooking.

Even if they were all properly recycled, which isn’t going to happen, this product still shouldn’t be sold. We don’t need any more consumables with large ecological impact. Recycling isn’t doing nearly enough to balance out the damage.

I want to do that, but not because of Flatpak. That’s incredibly far down the list of things I find offensive in my professional life. At the very least it does fulfill some sort of purpose and also doesn’t cost any money to use.

What problem does this solve? Do ISPs not provide IPv6 prefixes anymore?

anyhow2503 ,

That’s what a firewall and a DNS service is for respectively, imho. As long as you get an IPv6 prefix from your ISP, you can expose as many devices or services to the public as you want, by just allowing incoming traffic to a listening port. That was sort of the whole point of having a large enough address space when moving away from v4. Maybe it’s just me but reading stuff about “private AI” on a website where the relation to the product is not immediately obvious, makes me question their legitimacy.

The more I look at their site, the more it reads like a sales pitch for IPv6, which sounds kind of expensive at $6-10 a month.

anyhow2503 ,

You mean hiding their public IP? I guess that’s a feature.

anyhow2503 ,

It depends on what websites you frequent. The vast majority work fine (though they are still heavily optimized for Chrome and not much else), but there are some exceptions like publishers of educational material or other websites with overzealous ideas of web based DRM. I’ve seen some banners that straight up tell you “You need to upgrade to a proper browser” and then link to the Chrome installer…

The snail has been taken over by parasitic flatworms that control it to seek out exposed spots and pulsate inside of their eye stalks to get eaten by a bird and enter the next stage of their life cycle, which they spend by living in the birds cloaca and spreading their eggs via feces.

Website scanning for malware or other undesirable content is extremely unreliable and prone to false positives. None of the three vendors are very well known (except for a few other reports of false positives). If anything that’s a pretty low hitrate on virustotal all things considered. Don’t put too much stock in the heuristics of companies whose business model revolves around scaring their customers and exploiting computer illiteracy.

Big news (from 2017): debian held back software features because someone doesn’t like the new way of doing things. Let’s blame systemd for this unprecedented case.

What’s wrong with giving access to the specific sudo command, as suggested in the other answers?

You could not have worded that more condescendingly. The issue here is that Rust is singled out for no more apparent reason than making for a clickbaity headline. The underlying Windows API function requires undocumented escaping to prevent this exploit, Microsoft won’t fix that because it breaks compatibility, pretty much every programming language with a standard library that provides access to it is affected - Java won’t even fix it, others have updated their documentation. Rust is the first to actually implement a fix for a vulnerability that’s ultimately caused by Windows and gets called out for it for some reason. Of course people are going to get defensive about it. As they do every time a stupid headline gets published.

That script is a wrapper around a single call to qrencode. I’ve been making qr codes from wireguard config files in the terminal at least since PiVPN existed. There are plenty of guides on how to do this as well.

I get what you’re saying, but this feels like a weird question to ask in a community for selfhosting enthusiasts.

“Body type”? Is obesity a body type?

anyhow2503 ,

That makes a bit more sense. I was initially reminded of the various pseudo-scientific attempts to classify variations in human body shapes, which usually don’t factor in great variations in body fat content. The way it’s used in the image made me think this was an attempt to frame an unhealthy lifestyle as something inherent that can’t be changed.

anyhow2503 ,

No, like this: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_type

Even if I were to agree with this rather obvious trolling attempt.

Peak reddit conversation.

anyhow2503 ,

What are you trying to say?

anyhow2503 ,

I’m aware that any of the past attempts to classify body types are extremely pseudo-scientific and I’ve explained as much in a different comment in this thread. The point is that “body type” isn’t just necessarily just a generic way to refer to someone’s body shape. Plenty of people still believe in that made up nonsense.

None of what I said implied anything else.

Cloud saves work fine between Linux PCs, but the devs seem to have misconfigured the save path for Steam cloud saves integration on Windows. That’s why it doesn’t work. That’s on the devs, not the Steam client. Apparently they were working on a fix since about half a year ago, maybe they finally released that fix now?

anyhow2503 ,

It is kind of annoying that Steam doesn’t enable the usage of third-party OTP apps. To be fair, when they first implemented the feature, that wasn’t widely used and plenty of websites only enabled the use of one specific OTP app like Authy or Google Authenticator. They recently added a QR code login feature, which makes sense, but that still shouldn’t stop them from enabling MFA via third party OTP apps.

AMD has never gotten more than 50% of the market, even in the years where their entire product lineup offered better performance/features for less money. I’m talking about the “good old days” here, where software features weren’t a big factor for consumers and ML was nonexistent. You have to be delusional to think that Nvidia doesn’t hold a very clear mindshare and marketing advantage.

anyhow2503 ,

I don’t doubt that Steam being first to market is the biggest reason for their success, but you make it sound as if there’s some alternative store that is better for the consumer in some way. What’s the alternative? I have yet to see any other store/launcher come close to Steam in terms of features, even more so when it comes to Linux support, which Valve have turned into a viable gaming OS pretty much by themselves. In the end, even exclusivity and drastically lower fees for publishers didn’t make EGS the success that Tim Sweeney wishes it was and I think at that point being first to market can’t be the only explanation. They have to be doing something right.

anyhow2503 ,

Brother gets recommended a lot by virtue of being the least shitty option in the hellish wasteland of consumer/office printers. They aren’t perfect, but Brother printers have been the only option in the entire office to reliably print from a Linux computer over the network. Honestly, any day I don’t have to interact with a printer is a good day.

I’ve heard of it before and I don’t work in advertising or video production. Why is everyone focusing on this term like these guys invented it?

anyhow2503 ,

I’m pretty sure that was the intent behind the original wording. The interpretation of this being the remnant of a female human makes sense to me, but as this is an anecdotal account of Sandi Toksvig’s time in university, we really have no idea if this is a good example of the lack of a female perspective in anthropology or just a convenient strawman to make a point.

In any case, cool meme.

He rose to fame through his skills as a pianist, probably being considered the best of his time (and very handsome). Maybe his freakishly long fingers helped his skill. I recommend the piano transcriptions of his third Liebestraum (S. 541) in A-flat major and his third Consolation/Tröstung (S. 172) in D-flat major, both among his most well known and popular pieces.

It’s not feasible to prevent it completely, but you can certainly make it harder for the average person and discourage usage by simply outlawing it. That’s what China is doing at least.

anyhow2503 ,

Somehow I knew when I wrote that comment that someone would interpret “it’s possible to discourage VPN usage and make it harder for the layman” as “it’s possible to prevent VPN usage completely and China is 100% successful at doing that”. China hasn’t gone all in on blocking VPN traffic either way, since corporations can still use them and tourists don’t like having their internet connection dropped without warning (which they actually did at one point), but someday they might and it will probably be enough to prevent the majority from using VPNs to circumvent government censorship.
