Nix and related tools just brings up the interactive man pages. I hate it!!! Stop making me rtfm

heyoni ,

Oh I love it when shareholders get their value!!

heyoni ,

I hate to even say this but now in America you can go straight for the top shelf drama and say your kid needs a phone in case of a school shooting.

heyoni ,

Or just answer this questionnaire I just made up:

Is that water? Yes Did you melt it from an ancient glacier? No Is it from planet earth? Yes

You’ve got microplastics flavored water!

heyoni ,

In an attempt to be funny, I missed that! I should have known because if I’m not mistaken microplastics are super hard to measure accurately and LCMS isn’t even one of the methods used!

Where's Our Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Review? (IGN denied review code) (www.ign.com)

In a bad-vibes moment, they’re denying a huge outlet like IGN a review code. No matter what I think of IGN in particular (nothing good tbh), that’s not something I can find a real explanation for other than “We made DC’s Gollum and want to avoid bad press as long as we can”.

heyoni ,

Reviewers getting copies a week before launch are generally netting like 40-50 hours of game time in a short timeframe. Combine that with the fact that it’d be more like hundreds of reviewers and you might actually have a decently active community.

Plex for porn looool

heyoni ,

I don’t use chrome but this is a whole lot of nothing. It’s basically saying if you save a file or an article to your reading list it’ll still be there…and that remote websites will still stuff your face with cookies and try to track you…but it’s not like they’re giving you a special chrome cookie to link your private and non private browsing. Server side tracking never goes away, not even with Firefox.

Anyways, who cares. Delete chrome and start using Firefox. But again, make sure you delete the files you download in incognito or they’ll still be there. And your ISP can still see which domains you’re going to if you use them as your DNS.

heyoni ,

Yep, I’m aware. It’s how that one guy hacked his airplanes wireless, by setting up a certificate with his domain and the airlines and then using that domain + port 443 as an ssh or vpn tunnel.

So TLS rollout is slow because the websites can still be seen with packet inspection? We’re talking about TLS 1.4 right?

heyoni ,

Cloudflare has 100 employees not counting her.

heyoni ,

Nope. That’s extremely misleading.

heyoni ,

Honestly it’s the uniform for me. It implies so much like maybe that kids gotta punch in with a time card of has their pay docked.

heyoni ,

It’s also in NixOS for some sick reason: search.nixos.org/packages?channel=23.11&from=0&si…

heyoni ,

Yea that makes sense, I’m mostly kidding. Hell, if you’re doing any web development then it makes sense just to be able to test things out.

heyoni ,

Before mankind was rebooting film franchises it was rebooting religions.

heyoni , (edited )

That or they’re planning to lean on generative ai to produce content

heyoni ,

1100 layoffs and they don’t use in house artists? I find that hard to believe but you might be right.

heyoni ,

They’re spending every dime suing Google and Apple. Epic is now a law firm.

heyoni ,

Thanks for the insight. It’s quite tiring to watch human beings distilled into binary good or evil based on something as innocuous as adding proton support to a game…

heyoni ,

Hey look everyone, this guy only sees black or white!

heyoni ,

Didn’t they also release schematics for 3D printing parts?

heyoni ,

Good. Now they can sue for damages.

heyoni ,

lol yes

They charged a subscription, there’s a material loss. Not saying they’ll win but apples walled garden has been defeated in a few places (right to repair, usb c, side loading apps, defaulting music players etc).

heyoni ,

Potential earnings then. You can sue for anything and I hope they do. Even if they lose it will add to the anticompetitive pile of shit that will eventually force them to open up.

heyoni ,

This isn’t your normal seasonal flu and that vet has been investigating the disease for over a year and still doesn’t have anything definitive, hence why it’s not in the article.

It is sensationalist cause yea, it’s not murdering your dog but it’s been going on long enough that we should have had some answers by now and don’t.

heyoni ,

All communicable diseases have seasonal patterns but I agree it may be overblown. I think what’s interesting about this thing in particular is that it hasn’t been identified and it isn’t the usual respiratory virus you get at a dog park.

Linux distribution for gaming and media centre.

Heya! I’m looking to install Linux for the first time on parts from my old pc builds to use as a media centre and multiplayer gaming system in my living room. Something with as clean as possible interface with room for customization would be cool. Oh and support for my old nvidia gpu....

heyoni , (edited )

I’m on NixOS using the beta drivers and it does everything as far as I can tell. DLSS, ray tracing all work and performance is the same as windows with the same settings. I don’t think I ever need to go back to windows.

heyoni ,

“No entry found for ‘time flies’”

heyoni ,

How about shit breaking because everyone at some point is a bad programmer? Even Apple Music doesn’t work when I walk into the elevator until halfway through presumably because hitting play sets of a bunch of useless blocking network calls for music I have saved locally.

What those calls are, I can’t say for sure. Downloading artwork, license checks or telemetry. I’d venture to guess it’s the latter since music will play with placeholder artwork on a slow connection and license checks aren’t required if the subscription was recently validated (works offline for days).

But who really knows. I never bothered to inspect the traffic. The point is, if a company like Apple is creating such a crummy experience for a function so absurdly basic, you can imagine how easy and prevalent telemetry based user degradation is. Go browse the web with a tracker blocker and tell me it isn’t snappier.

PS: I’m also a programmer and collect error reports. So many developers will forego using connection pools, much less collect data with async api’s.

And let’s not even get into how telemetry is a shit tool that is misused 99.99% of the time and only used to surface popular features that aren’t necessarily good features only because we attach causation to every metric (x feature is highly used, therefore it must be good).

heyoni ,

I replied elsewhere but YES! Telemetry is notorious for causing devs to hyperfocus on shit features due to their high usage. Just because a user is clicking X over Y doesn’t mean Y sucks and X is better. Maybe Y is in their periphery, or camouflaged by the background artwork or worded badly. But hey, since X gets a lot of clicks, it must be good, right?

heyoni ,

You’re reading into that the wrong way. There was one incompatible charge about firing indoors. Somehow you can be guilty of that without being guilty for shooting someone? That’s almost definitely what the hangup was about and the judge is going to hear arguments for it next month even though it was the only charge they found him guilty for.

Cyberpunk runs 30% faster on linux than on windows 11 (m.youtube.com)

The YouTube channel “Maximum Fury” conducted a technical test of the new Cyberpunk add-on called “Phantom Liberty” on an older AMD hardware system, testing it separately on Linux and Windows 11. The Linux system, specifically the Fedora distribution called Nobara, performed significantly better, delivering 31% more...

heyoni ,

Can you do ray tracing on Linux? I played today a bit and the option was grayed out. I’m on X though, using official drivers.

heyoni ,

Just came back to say it freaken worked. Cyberpunk on linux looks and runs just as well as it does on windows. I don’t think I need to dual boot anymore…

In case anyone else is wondering…

heyoni ,

And now you can do it with curl!

Maybe you’re a dev on the Reddit team and own a lot of shares for what you know is about to go public?

Russian geneticist gets probation for DNA smuggling. Discovery of vials prompted alarm at airport (apnews.com)

Customs agents were alarmed at their discovery last August at Dulles International Airport: an undeclared cooler packed in a suitcase and filled with 10 test tubes of an unknown yellowish substance, brought to the U.S. by a woman claiming to be a Russian scientist....

heyoni ,

Probation means released. And a $1000 fine.

Microsoft announces Python formulas in Excel... which have to get sent to the cloud (techcommunity.microsoft.com)

Since its inception, Microsoft Excel has changed how people organize, analyze, and visualize their data, providing a basis for decision-making for the flying billionaires heads up in the clouds who don't give a fuck for life offtheline

heyoni ,

Cloud doesn’t have access to local drives…but in this day and age, python could be containerized or sandboxed. Sounds messy though.

heyoni ,

Weird.

heyoni ,

It’s just not actionable. It’s not something you can do.

heyoni ,

I get the sentiment, but what is it rooted in? Extreme experiences giving you a new perspective making old anxieties feel like nothing. That’s just statistics. That’s saying that the longer you live, the more likely you are to experience those kinds of things.

heyoni ,

I’m just confirming here but prevalence implies that these statistics take into account size of the population measured? Like, suicide per capita has gone up?

heyoni ,

I’m tempted to try vfio but for now I just dual boot -_-

heyoni ,

Nixos…from arch.
