and the kernel folks just went “it is the kernel, everything is critical”
tl;dr: this is pretty much an elaborate “go fuck yourself” towards shady ‘security’ companies.
Apologies for my ignorance, but could you elaborate?
I’m sincerely not seeing the connection between saying everything is critical as a go fuck yourself towards those companies.
Is it a ‘death by quantity’ thing?
1·6 months agoBe sure to enable ‘Above 4G Decoding’ and ‘Resizazble BAR Support’ in the BIOS of your PC. WoW really cares about that (as of last week) for some reason.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was actually a stealthy industry norm.
6·6 months agoTry Fedora’s KDE spin (which uses Wayland).
I always thought it has the best hardware support.
I run a dual monitor setup, with no issues, and game often.
Really happy to see them continuing to improve on their multi-monitor support.
From the article…
On Wayland, KWin can now be configured to pull color profile information from the monitor’s EDID metadata where present. Note that color profile information in EDID metadata is often wrong, so use this setting with caution.
Can anyone speak towards why the EDID metadata is often wrong?
Edit: TY to all who responded.
What do you think of Fedora? So far I enjoy the stability combined with near-arch levels of getting new updates!
I switched away from other distros to Fedora (KDE spin), and am happy here.
Do I wish they were better open-source citizens, yes, of course! But they’re still allot better than Microsoft/Windows close-source solution.
And as far as the distro goes, its nice to have solid support for hardware, and a good rolling release cycle that doesn’t brick my OS, and that has quick support for gaming, etc.
If you’re the type of person who wants a Windows alternative OS to use as just a tool for gaming/business first and foremost, and not to tinker with the OS for fun (unless they want to), Fedora is the best, and what we all should be proposing to others when they ask about moving to Linux.
246·6 months agoDon’t think of it as them being unprofessional, think of it as them having a safety valve to relieve the pressure of some people wanting to leave Reddit for Lemmy or elsewhere, because of their bs.
Someday, when they’re confident enough that they have customer retention locked in, that methodology of bypassing will be removed.
A lot of people misunderstand economic systems by anthropomorphizing (it means to give them human characteristics) them, giving them the illusion of thought or feeling.
Just in case that was directed at me, versus part of your overall opining, I do not.
It’s an economic and social system, ‘Bartering 2.0’, and not a mechanical or otherwise thing.
Good opinion piece overall though.
One of the worst things about Capitalism is that many a time it’s cheaper to do the wrong thing, than the right thing. It promotes doing the wrong thing.
45·6 months agoI don’t want to ask any kind of LLM anything at all. Ugh.
While my default/off-the-cuff answer would be the same as yours, if I travelled fifty years into the future, and had a ‘discussion’ with a LLM that was specific to the topic being discussed, I would probably be ok with that (as long as it was programmed properly and trained on good (not cheapest) data).
Time will tell, but the future will pimp slap you if you try to avoid it. Best to surf it the best you can.
Not sure if I would want to ask the kind of LLM that’s programmed from that site about romance / love life questions.
1·6 months agoI don’t remember the movies that way, but more just about politics and what makes a democracy and what doesn’t, with a background of space wizards fighting each other, and regular people just trying to make their way through all the BS or fighting back against oppression.

It’s not ‘sketchy’ at all.
Also it makes no sense to quote an entire message like that.
Actually you can just highlight the comment you’re replying to before hitting the reply button, and the Lemmy web client will copy it down for you quoted.
I started doing that when I found out people were going back and changing the reply to me after I successfully countered it, to make my reply look incorrect or off-subject.
Basically, documenting the conversation at that moment of time, so my reply is not misrepresented later on.
Its on by default but you can turn it off. I did so because it takes a good chunk of battery life away when your phone out of the blue decides to start updating apps.
Believe there’s a setting to have it only do updates when there’s wifi available, which takes less battery.
That’s weird, isn’t Google Play already updating apps without asking?
My understanding is that yes, you are correct, it’s auto-updated in the background.
8·6 months agoIt’s insanely deep with a chill gameplay loop. I’ve exclusively played single-player.
I’ll have to get off my ass and try playing it, been seeing it around forever.
My only disappontment is with those humans (and humans who use ““humans””) who side with AI model using corporations that steal other people’s content to train said models for profit, over regular everyday people.
