This platform might even be dead in a couple of months

It's been there for a couple of years, it'll be fine lol

You don't get to be a billionaire without exploiting a fuckton of people, there is no such thing as a good or ethical billionaire. The only sad part about that submarine story is that it couldn't hold more billionaires.

US isn’t doing this because they want to, but because there are no other ammo left and ammo production is still ramping up.

The US has completely run out of ammunition, congratulations to Russia for depleting the US of all its resources

Beehaw doesn't allow for that and they're one of the biggest instances

well while their actual content is alright so long as it's not political, it's an instance full of libs who are very defederation-happy, so i wouldn't advise on joining them.

you'll get to see less posts overall due to them defederating the biggest instances and the few posts you will see will have the same kind of lib takes as you could expect from the average reddit thread

Couldn't you just as well recompile your own kernel without these telemetry issues, with Gentoo for example ? The fact that you can do this and can't at all with Windows is a pretty big factor to me.

Linux gamers will be happy to learn that this update makes it possible to enable hardware acceleration on the Steam Client

:D

However, Valve notes the fact that enabling hardware acceleration on NVIDIA GPUs may cause X11 to crash.

oh :(

I agree, i don't think there's any point in having them make another client, the few that are already available are plenty good. More choice doesn't hurt but i won't be angry at them for not making a lemmy 3rd party app.

I heard lots of very similar comments about protests in France, always from people who didn't even join the protests in the first place, too.

80°F is fine, i don't think you should worry about it. 185°F would be a bit concerning for a really prolonged use, so unless you messed up your units and it was actually 80°C, i wouldn't worry about that personally.

when i pass away, my last thoughts will go to you for not using Firefox

okay i can totally see why you wouldn't like linux as a whole becoming "one thing", but what is your opinion on the growth of linux on the desktop? By far the biggest factor in my opinion that's pushing people away (consumers as well as devs) is having to deal with so many different distros, packaging apps with different libraries on so many different systems. Having standards that aim to reduce that load can only be beneficial for the masses to adopt an objectively better operating system, even if not perfect, wouldn't it ? i.e. the rise of appimages and flatpaks as a means to curb that issue is to me a good thing, even if not "the most optimal way of doing things"

that should be how it works, you can check which instances are blocked on https://beehaw.org/instances for beehaw for example

i will downvote you again

There is no such thing as a good billionaire, they are nothing but parasites in our society. You don't become a billionaire without a tremendous amount of exploitation. I hope he thought long and hard about how many safety regulations he skipped over while he was stranded. Silver lining, he didn't hire some poor soul to drive the thing instead.

what kind of telemetry is pushed into the linux kernel, exactly?

Sounds amazing, i heard you could walk around with a usb stick and end up reinstalling your entire system just the way you backed it up using NixOS. Maybe some day i'll give it a shot, nuke whatever is currently on my old thinkpad (of course) and try this NixOS thing out.

Ideally, it'd be good enough to simply have say, an appimage/flatpak and have the source code and then let distro maintainers/end users build it how they want/need to, i have had the pleasure of trying to get NVENC working in OBS under Debian 10 and that was a massive pain, due to both outdated nvidia-drivers, i had to recompile ffmpeg with the right flags and that would break after every update, the easiest way was to get an OBS flatpak that came prebuilt with it all IIRC I guess my problems with that were mainly because i used debian stable at that time, it's probably not as much of a pain now that i'm on sid.

I don't know anything about Nix, i heard a lot of good about it and how it's "all config files" or something but the prospect of learning a whole new world scares me, but i trust your judgment on that. I'll stick to what i know on my boring ass debian sid :D
