It used to be more popular when Linux gaming was harder.

If you have an issue with something Palestine does in defense of itself, blame Israel for forcing it to desperation through decades of genocide.

If they could afford the tanks and advanced missiles that Israel throws at them I’m sure it would look more even. But since they can’t… They do what they must. A kid dies? A tragedy to be sure. But blame Israel for making the situation so. And know that so many more Palestinian children were brutalized and killed.

And?

It’s really fucked up that Israeli genocide drove them to such extreme and desperate warfare.

But this is “but you participate in capitalism, therefore you’re a hypocrite” tier of criticism

There is no contest going on. No competition. There’s no rush for productivity.

You do not NEED to use genAI.

Check out Asahi Linux for a great example of a good AI policy:

https://asahilinux.org/docs/project/policies/slop/

It is the opinion of the Board that Large Language Models (LLMs), herein referred to as Slop Generators, are unsuitable for use as software engineering tools, particularly in the Free and Open Source Software movement.

The use of Slop Generators in any contribution to the Asahi Linux project is expressly forbidden. Their use in any material capacity where code, documentation, engineering decisions, etc. are largely created with the “help” of a Slop Generators will be met with a single warning. Subsequent disregard for this policy will be met with an immediate and permanent ban from the Asahi Linux project and all associated spaces.

Jesus we’re just posting straight Zionist propaganda on the Fediverse and people are seemingly swallowing it whole?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ynet

Ynet is an Israeli news and general-content website, and the online outlet for the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper.

Wonder who owns Yedioth Ahronoth…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnon_Mozes

Arnon “Noni” Mozes (Hebrew: ארנון מוזס; born 1 April 1953) is the editor-in-chief, controlling owner and chair of the board of directors in the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth. Mozes’ media career has resulted in close ties to many Israeli government officials, including Benjamin Netanyahu, Ehud Olmert and Haim Ramon.

…Mozes either refused to publish articles that exposed government wrongdoing or corruption or would ask to shorten them and omit some of the content.

full 1080p

Really doesn’t mean anything. A 1080p movie can be 2gb and it’s technically still 1080p. But a 1080p Bluray is 20-30GB. Resolution is a small part of quality.

It’s more of a political stance.

Honestly the need for Lutris has gone way way down in the last couple years. I don’t know about forking it, but I think it’d be pretty easy to just avoid it. Less because there’s any concrete issues that I could point out, but more as a political statement and loss of confidence.

Oh yeah. Here’s another nugget:

Sometimes, I generate some code with Claude and commit by hand

Sometimes, I write code manually and ask Claude to commit

Sometimes, I ask OpenClaw to generate some code, which doesn’t put the Co-Authorship

Sometimes, the whole thing is AI generated from end to end

This is also a somewhat recent addition to Claude Code. I was kinda surprised when I first noticed it but didn’t think much of it, I was like “meh, I guess we’re doing that now, whatever, some people might take issue with it, whatever”. Also, do keep in mind that I love trolling people coming in my projects to complain about my methods.

For those who are anti-AI, it’s a safe assumption that any addition to the project has had some kind of AI interaction during the development process.

1996…used until 2010

It’s super cool to use stuff like that. What did he use it for, word processing? I don’t think the average consumer of 2010 would’ve found it adequate though. That was the height of flash-filled websites and multimedia.

Definitely. The prices were much higher (accounting for inflation) though, and to make it worse with everything moving so fast it all was obsolete so much quicker.

Today you can ride a high end gaming PC 6-8 years. Imagine taking a Win98/EarlyXP machine to Windows 7. Nah.

But we lost the excitement with the longevity.

oh no

anyway

Oh yeah. All my coworkers talk/ask about “sites” which are just streaming sites filled to the absolute brim with ads and all the videos are low bitrate. Kinda sad ngl

No need, here let my give you the response completely unsolicited:

I have a OnePlus Nord N10 5G I picked up to play with Ubuntu Touch.

Now that VoLTE works I can actually make and receive calls which makes it nearly usable.

I wish RCS could work but that may be out of their hands. Group texts (MMS) don’t work either unfortunately.

It’s close to usable but still not ready for me personally.

I did contribute to Ubuntu Touch though by adding Colemak keyboard layout support and they accepted my pull request :D

Is this when the kids say FAFO?

Pinning your versions just means updating will be a pain, and you’ll probably start running outdated containers that are security risks.

It’s not like you’re doing code audits every updates anyway. Just use containers that are established and seem trustworthy. It’s all you can really do.

It’s usually because they use Google for notification services

No. The strength of Torrenting is that a bunch of slow connections can combine into one fast download.

I think it’ll only be a problem for a week anyhow.
