Linus Torvalds -- Creator of Linux -- defends gun regulation, woke communists, womens rights AND trans rights. Linux is political!
Political? For everyone outside of America that's just common sense.

The blackout is starting to have a financial impact on Reddit, but we must stay dark!
Reply in thread
This type of advertising is the death-knell of any site, because at that point you're interacting with an advert with some extra elements rather than a site with ads.

How will this work now?
This is a real concern. Google is already suffering from a marked decline in search result quality in recent months, add this to the mix and it may break the camel's back.

In response to the disastrous Spez AMA, /r/Videos have announced that they will permanently shut down on 11th June, one day ahead of the planned blackout

Sure, but from what the mods have been saying in the AMA, Reddit neither has the staff nor the expertise to take over one let alone many subreddits.

Expressing concerns about moderation policy on lemmy.ml

The thing I find wild here is that this presumably Marxist mod is banning criticism of 2023 Russia and China. Russia in 2023 is straight up fascist and China while with more communist dressing is also a capitalist hellscape - like most of the world.

What I really cannot get my head around is that they seem to put 2023 China and Russia on that list. Russia is a straight up Christo-fascist state, it's as far as is possible to go from a communist state. But I guess they're in it for the authoritarianism rather than for the political ideology.

What is your opinion of the Large Language Model (LLM) argument made by Reddit?
I think the claim is nonsense. If that were their concern they would rather change the usage agreement and maybe take some of them to court.
What they actually did is everything in their power to drive mobile users to their mobile app. They want old fashioned user tracking data for advertising and selling on. Together with more in app ads.

Is lemmy.ml just a tankie recruitment zone?

The way things are on there I can't even tell if this is just a joke.

Can you code? We need your help to improve lemmy

Rust is an imperative programming language with strong functional programming influences. It started out implemented in ocaml.
The main functional programming influences are a strong functional programming-esk type system and heavy use of pattern matching.
The syntax is a bit odd though, neither fully matching C style syntaxes or functional syntaxes like ML or Haskell.

Reddit is down

I'm wondering if it's their own shitty app trying to fetch subreddits that have gone dark.

For a lot of the stuff I need to find with Google these (random blog pages) barely exist any more.
I used to be able to find answers down some rabbit hole posted to a forum somewhere, now it's just a chamber of SEO optimisers with no data to be found.

How big is gaming in linux?
I use Linux exclusively for gaming. Sometimes there's a performance hit or weird bug, but mostly it runs very well, occasionally better than on Windows. I have quite often heard of windows players complaining about older games no longer running properly, and I've often had no problems with these on Linux, for example the original Dead Space.
However there are technologies which are still quite some ways off. Rtaytracing is improving but still a generation behind windows in terms of performance and support. HDR is barely supported anywhere. Variable refresh rate, is supported in some instances, but not universally, e.g. Gnome doesn't support it yet for Wayland. I don't know anything much about VR but would suspect it may not be very well supported yet either.

Anything with multiplayer.

Reddit is OpenAI's moat
Reply in thread
If they were worried data being scooped up for AI training, they would have approached it differently. What they did was target 3rd party apps to drive people to their app so they can get tracking data and push ads.

Reddit down amid major protest
I would be hilarious if this were their shitty app ddosing their servers, because they drove all the subreddits away.

CP2077 Phantom Liberty
I would wait and play through again once the expansion is released, it sounds like they are making wide-sweeping improvements to the base game as well.

App crash when opening "!community@instances" link
Yes, I've had this. No idea how to solve it. I just searched for the community instead.
