chances are, it will have a table of context and generally low quality writing
Don’t forget repeating the question over and over again. If my question gets rephrased four times in the first four sentences, it’s a good sign that I’m reading AI slop and there’s no actual answer in the pages and pages of text.
Okay, but running a huge online service on the internet means massive cyberattacks happen on days that end with a Y.
He pulled the plug on equipment and fired people who were supposed to handle the problem, didn’t he.
I remember hearing during lockdown that sales of business pants had tanked, but sales of business shirts hadn’t.
It was originally one computer that everyone connected to, it wasn’t a fleet of separate computers like Windows PCs.
12% of humans believe we aren’t apes
All humans are apes, those people more so than most.
A lot of writers apparently have no idea how to write interesting female characters. Some of the pushback from viewers / readers to increasing the number of female characters isn’t about the characters being female, it’s about them being bad characters. Boring, annoying, quippy, etc.
Nobody wants to admit that their movie flopped because it wasn’t very good, so they blame sexism. Or piracy, that one’s always popular.
it’s a good beginner distro because getting thrown into deep water is how one learns to swim
That’s… not how it works, for distros or for actual swimming. Usually when someone who can’t swim is thrown into deep water, they drown and/or reinstall Windows which is much the same thing.
Isn’t this the guy who got called out for trying to use social media brigading to force Linux kernel rust patches through? There’s a good chance those stalkers are fictional.
The benchmarks are against vanilla Wine. A lot of people are using the fsync patches, so ntsync is more about accuracy - things that didn’t work under fsync should work under ntsync.
Instead of choosing between accuracy and performance hacks, ntsync should do it properly.
Half of them will print the highest bandwidth regardless of the actual cable’s capabilities so that won’t help.
‘Teases prototypes’? Do they think it’s 2010? Nobody cares about your EV prototypes, launch something people can buy or just resign yourself to being killed off by the wave of Chinese EVs.
As a great philosopher once said, “Shit or get off the pot.”
Okay, but that’s still partially on Nvidia for refusing to participate. They could have argued for explicit sync early in Wayland’s development but they weren’t at the table at all, so they got stuck with the technology that was decided on without them and had to argue for changes much later.
And they started off arguing for EGLStreams, but it didn’t work well either. Explicit sync came later.
Wayland has a bunch of features that are so new they aren’t in the stable distros yet.
Nvidia went from declaring they were never going to support Wayland to trying to force their own EGLStreams stuff on everybody to reluctantly accepting the standard that was developed without them and trying to make it work for their driver. They’re playing catchup and it’s entirely their own fault for refusing to cooperate with anybody.
They’re moving more towards open source drivers now, probably because the people buying billions of dollars worth of GPUs to use on Linux servers for AI training have had words with Nvidia on the subject.
Voting third party under the US system doesn’t improve society so, like you, the meme kind of misses the point.
I mean, it’s bits of configuration all over the place that I’ve built up over time. It isn’t a single script on one machine, and you’d need to change a lot of things if you weren’t running Slackware. I can’t really copy and paste it all.
Network namespaces and policy based routing are black magic, IMO.
I’ve got a VPN set up on my router and separate VLANs set up for ordinary traffic and VPN traffic. A device doesn’t need to support VPNs at all, I just connect it to the VPN VLAN and all its traffic goes over the VPN whether it likes it or not. I’ve got separate wifi SSIDs for each VLAN.
My desktop is connected to both VLANs with a network namespace set up for the VPN VLAN, so sudo vpn rtorrent runs rtorrent in the namespace that’s connected to the VPN VLAN.
My setup is nice, but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who doesn’t want to learn quite a bit about networking.
Yeah, but because pricing jumped like someone set a firecracker off under it’s chair people are actually still using vintage GPUs.
at least, not with my 1080p monitors, which I prefer over higher-res ones
Blasphemy!
4k monitors are beautiful for normal desktop usage, making text crisp and clean with smooth curves and none of that blockiness that comes from low resolution, and with modern scaling settings you can even have 4K text and 1080p graphics at the same time with the same performance as native 1080p.
IIRC they also insisted multi-frame generation be used, which the 3060 and 2060 Super don’t support. That’s why the 4060 isn’t allowed, it does support MFG and it’d sink the plan to inflate 5060 benchmark results with fake frames.
The specific games using specific settings at 1080p bit is because in 2025 they have to carefully choose scenarios that won’t overflow the tiny VRAM of the cards and tank performance to below the level of the 3060 12GB.
