I love VR. So I use it for gaming maybe once a week, for 1-2 hours, usually as an activity with my SO so we can switch who’s playing each “round” depending on the game. That’s the maximum I find fun instead of tiring. I can’t see using it for long periods or for work, that sounds like a nightmare.

You are completely right that they want to get a cut and it’s bullshit.

But I don’t see anything wrong with paid mods, where all of the money goes to the mod author (which this situation isn’t). Some mods take months to develop and a massive amount of skill, and it’s sensible to expect payment for it.

It’s a false dichotomy between “corporations profiting” and “all mods need to be free”.

At least the “just walk out” was a genuine attempt at the tech, created long before the AI craze. Still failed, but they weren’t following a fad.

dev_null ,

I wonder if the concept could still be useful. It fails if the goal is removing human workers, but the tech basically enables “cashiers” to work from home, and that’s a win for the cashiers who’d like that.

But no one is going to invest in a win for the cashiers, and if they did, then like we saw, it would be outsourcing the work to third world nations, rather than local people having the ability to work from home…

If I have to compare, giving people in underserved areas access to the Internet is a better reason than spy sats or satellite TV.

That’s only useful though if someone looking for this function also happens to be looking for a tiling window manager. I assume most people needing this don’t want a tiling window manager.

dev_null ,

What tool would you recommend for that?

dev_null ,

If you are comfortable with a cli you could use gnupg. Its man page is good.

If I have cloud storage mounted somewhere I need to be able to drag and drop directories in and out, see the files inside in an unencrypted form, and they should transparently be uploaded encrypted. This could very well be achieved by a bunch of scripts involving gnupg, but then that’s what’s I’m looking for, because gnupg by itself wouldn’t be productive to use unless as a one-off.

This seems promising: szymonkrajewski.pl/encrypted-cloud-drive-rclone/

Or, because Apple gets a free service that would cost an insane amount of money if they were to pay API fees or build their own data centers and models, and OpenAI gets free advertising by being included in millions of Apple devices. Seems pretty simple.

dev_null ,

What’s wrong with them? I never used them (I don’t have an iPhone), but they seem useful.

dev_null ,

I see, I was thinking from the the perspective of using them, not someone malicious dropping one on you, that’s definitely a problem.

At least your phone should inform you of it, unlike with the generic GPS trackers on Amazon.

dev_null ,

What has trust go to do with anything. Apple cannot pay them due to sanctions. There is nothing to indicate they don’t want to pay them, they are just legally not allowed to do so.

I’ve been using Nvidia cards on Linux for many years and never had issues. I did have issues with the laptop cards (Optimus switching), but on the desktop it was always flawless for me.

dev_null ,

When I was in the market for a new card 2 years ago I looked into AMD, but learned that they don’t work as well as Nvidia for GPU passthrough to VMs, which I need to work. I’d love to switch because Nvidia is a shit company, but AMD GPU’s just don’t work for my use case.

I’m curious though because I don’t know what I’m missing. What are the features in AMD drivers that make it more complete?

dev_null ,

Do many distros use Wayland now? I use Kubuntu and it doesn’t, so that probably explains why I never ran into any issue with that. Gamescope looks like some Wayland tool too from what I see. I don’t have an HDR monitor either. Looks like good stuff, that I just never needed so never noticed it not working.

But to my knowledge, AMD GPUs pass through just fine to VMs? What was your problem with them?

I asked on the VFIO subreddit back then and was told AMD cards have a bug where you have to restart the PC to switch between host and VM (which makes it no better than dualbooting since you have to restart anyway), this was not the case on Nvidia.

So now that Nvidia has open source drivers and works on Wayland, what’s the difference? Just gamescope?

dev_null ,

No, I’m on Kubuntu, it doesn’t use Wayland.

dev_null ,

Oh yeah there is a button to switch on the login screen, but X11 is the default and I never saw a reason to switch the default.

dev_null ,

Yes, it can, and by default it doesn’t use it.

dev_null ,

What do you suggest would go wrong? I never even gave Steam my name, so how would they even know it’s different?

dev_null , (edited )

Do you have a source? First time I’m hearing about it

dev_null , (edited )

I develop software that has a Windows version, I need a Windows installation to test it.

dev_null ,

I definitely used it 2 months ago, maybe it changed since then, or maybe it depends on something.

Given most of Russia is in Asia, isn’t Russia the Russia of Asia?

dev_null ,

It does, you have a full screen scary warning when an app asks for these accessibility permissions. Clearly many people just give it to a random QR code reader app for some reason.

dev_null ,

Yes, the app doesn’t steal any information from other apps. The report says the malware just displays a fake bank login page, in the hope the user gives it their details willingly.

dev_null ,

According to the report, the app just displays a fake login page. I don’t see a good way to prevent this.

dev_null ,

They actual report does say it just displays a fake login page. It’s just phishing.

dev_null ,

By adding a free feature that doesn’t make anything worse?

dev_null ,

Because it, ever so slightly, pulls Earth towards it with it’s own, miniscule gravity.

dev_null ,

Yeah, I think the meme is intended from the perspective of an observer on Earth.

Give one example (with a source)

Do we really think video games are promoting violence?

No, that’s not their argument. They are saying the gun manufacturer advertised their real life gun in the video game. They don’t have an issue with video game violence, they have an issue with advertising weapons to children.

dev_null ,

No, it’s not. It’s part of React internals that you shouldn’t use because your app will break. It’s a warning for developers using React. It’s not a secret of any kind.

dev_null ,

What aren’t you happy to financially support creators of open source software you like?

dev_null ,

Yes, and what does it change for the purpose of this post? The question wasn’t what’s the best software you use in your leisure time for non-work purposes.

dev_null ,

I wish that was possible, but it’s not feasible to get a lot done on a 15 year old ThinkPad or whatever, that doesn’t have any proprietary firmware.

dev_null ,

Even Stallman said games are an unfortunate, but reasonable exception. Of he can see it, anyone can.

dev_null ,

Agree, I just wouldn’t call that “never willingly using proprietary software”.

dev_null ,

Why? I’d be happy to give them a defense that obviously won’t work. Otherwise someone else could’ve get them a better one.

Sorry, my app glitched out and posted my comment multiple times, and got me banned for spamming… Now that I got unbanned I can reply.

So is the car manufacturer responsible if someone drives their car into the sidewalk to kill some people?

In this scenario no, because the crime was in how someone used the car, not in the creation of the car. The guy in this story did commit a crime, but for other reasons. I’m just saying that if you are claiming that children in the training data are victims of some crime, then that crime was committed when training the model. They obviously didn’t agree for their photos to be used that way, and most likely didn’t agree for their photos to be used for AI training at all. So by the time this guy came around, they were already victims, and would still be victims if he didn’t.
