And if they can't handle distributed systems, they're the worst possible choice to maintain a distro - a massive distributed system of PCs

Does Anyone Else Skip Processing Vulkan Shaders?
Theres a hidden option to make it multi core, which (on a machine like a threadripper) can insanely speed up the process.

You may not realise this, but a historical problematic influencer called Adolf Hitler was actually an oxygen addict, and so by referencing a breathable atmosphere youre being incredibly antisemitic.
Hope this helps!

Why aren't Linux-based mobile operating systems (apart from Android) used more widely?
Reply in thread
That and an actively hostile hardware environment to open source dev in the aarch world.
OS' on x86 are also a nerdy niche, yet Linux numbers are growing by the day, even seeing large vendors moving to first part support. None of this is allowed to exist in the mobile market exclusively for the profit margins of a few companies.
Side note imagine how cool it would be in a world without that enshitification, old phones could be recycled for 90% of pi projects, with better specs than the most expensive pi.

Energy efficiency of various transport modes
Reply in thread
Distribution throughout the vehicle would be laughibly trivial, and calling using batteries 'generation' is weird, but they are still like 99% efficient.
Probably means the efficiency loss burning gas (in power plants much more efficient than cars) is counted for electric vehicles, but ignored for gas vehicles through some crazy mental gymnastics.
Its also a US study published in 2018, so this is an expected bias.

Unless you're running a virtual GPU (and changing it often enough to remain anonymous), tracking pixels are pretty difficult to obfuscate (the exact thermal environment your PC is in will even effect timing).
And thanks to big tech this state of the art tracking is on essentially every website.
Clearing site data/private mode is a way to ask nicely that websites don't track you, but user intention hasn't been respected for around 3 decades by now.

Sounds good to me, let's make America pay for 11/12th of the cleanup and Canada can cover the last 1/12 as per their emission ratios

For what it's worth it still makes me feel safer as a trans person seeing stuff like this, among the majorly hateful news of today.

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney throws shade at Valve / Gabe Newell for Steam Deck pricing
Reply in thread
Theres also a lot of hardware on them that is useless for server use, but still adds cost.
So its probably still cheaper just to buy a used server instead of an army of mid steam decks.
