On X11 and the Fascists Maggots

All these "concerned" comments about systemd, wayland, etc, always seemed dog whistling to me. I have critiques about these projects, but the specific things this specific type of people says always comes coded in some form of racism/transphobic/mysoginistic rethoric. Just changed from gamergate to linuxgate.

So i'm not surprised that they turned mask off like this.

Look at any anti-systemd channel, the comments are always the worst thing ever. Some lkml reading channels have these comments too.

For those who as kids also wondered what would happen if you cut out "SIM card" from bank card, this stupid rulepost is for you

These cards have different informations inside of it, so checking for credit card number + the secret number is different than the cell phone number + carrier information, etc, so it gives mumbo jumbo to the reader if it's not the same type, but people already know that. Sorry for commenting irrelevant information.

But good to know that a credit card can't just have a random cell phone information hahaha.

The Latest X.Org Server Activity Are A Lot Of Code Reverts

"There was also a revert to avoid unnecessarily breaking the NVIDIA driver. It was also commented by NVIDIA that some additional requests for other reverts are coming too."

Did this dude break resume/suspend on nvidia in x11? I think last year x11 on nvidia just stopped suspending at some time (I was trying some things on x11) and in wayland it worked, I even moved to xorg-git, but the errors persisted. If this is related, dude was/is the worst developer ever.

Distros

Just works should change from mint to cachyos, fuck around and find out should be gentoo, linux from scratch is you building it from literally nothing, not even torvalds do that (he uses fedora).

Should also have another one, the best:

OpenSuse Tumbleweed

I use it on my work machine, against all managerial shenanigans, truly the best distro.

Edit: I'm drunk, so I'm making the worst comments ever seen

Proprietary software's inferiorities, such as this control center downgrade, remind me of that one Dhar Mann video where kids enjoy homemade food and insult what the "award winning pastry chef" made.

Waydroid is a android translator(?) for linux on wayland, it runs android applications in a translation layer (android has linux under it), so you can install a ROM (there's a default one without google applications like google play services, but you can search a ROM with it) and run android applications like any phone with a custom ROM.

Edit: The tablet with waydroid running:

True crime

Today i have seen:

if (var === true || var === 'true' || var === "true")

I'm just fortunate enough to not work with the frontend at our very backend service, but I always hear things that shouldn't be even allowed in this planet.

Should i switch to linux? please tell me why or why not.

Yes, from my personal experience:

It'll be a lot faster.

Edit: there's ollama-cuda on the repos and alpaca-ai on the AUR, but I changed from the self managed to use the local ollama server. For games, there's lutris, wine-cachyos, proton-cachyos, dxvk-mingw-git and vkd3d-proton-mingw-git all on the repos, so dxvk and vkd3d (the translation layers from directx to vulkan) are updated when the system is updated, but need to be installed with the provided scripts to work automagically after that.

The Nazis literally did the first mass privatization of public services and dismantled social services in germany when they took power, I wouldn't say they had some socialist elements.

Even the elements they brought in, that people normally call socialist, but are just social-democrat creations, was because of the appeasement for the middle class, not the lower class.

Itally did it too in the 20s, here's a source for the german part: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1468-0289.2009.00473.x .

Fedora Linux devs discuss dropping 32-bit packages - potentially bad news for Steam gamers

Reply in thread

I think Wine has had WOW support for some time and it seems it will be the default at some time (arch moving to wow64).

Edit: What is WOW64

WoW64

All transitions from Windows to Unix code go through the NT syscall interface. This is a major milestone that marks the completion of the multi-year re-architecturing work to convert modules to PE format and introduce a proper boundary between the Windows and Unix worlds.

All modules that call a Unix library contain WoW64 thunks to enable calling the 64-bit Unix library from 32-bit PE code. This means that it is possible to run 32-bit Windows applications on a purely 64-bit Unix installation. This is called the new WoW64 mode, as opposed to the old WoW64 mode where 32-bit applications run inside a 32-bit Unix process.

The new WoW64 mode is not yet enabled by default. It can be enabled by passing the --enable-archs=i386,x86_64 option to configure. This is expected to work for most applications, but there are still some limitations, in particular:

Lack of support for 16-bit code. Reduced OpenGL performance and lack of ARB_buffer_storage extension support.

The new WoW64 mode finally allows 32-bit applications to run on recent macOS versions that removed support for 32-bit Unix processes.
