The Linux kernel is nuts to think that MIT are the only bad actors to have ever shipped malicious code to them. Random corporate devs can break the GPL on a regular basis whilst receiving no oversight yet this wont be stopped at all
Either sort your shit out or move it out of the Linux source tree. It’s a travesty that we’re accepting so much shoddy engineering just because it comes from corporate donors
if you want to be fully foss then sure but you’ll probably find shit works less reliably with it. ymmv
I tried to ask deepseek the top Qs as a test but it seems to be down rn :(
they usually outsource any of the menial tasks to people in the global south. I work with someone who had a startup dating app where they used “AI” to match couples, but it was actually just a university student in Indonesia who they paid to do 8 hour stints sorting people’s profiles manually.
ray tracing is the AI of pc gaming. A bunch of hardware made “obsolete” just so a few nerds can get marginally “better” lighting.
those only work on x11 right? idk how well they work in Wayland
This app is quite useful for journald logs.
wine is pretty much there with its latest release. it’ll take a couple of years for LTS distros to phase it out
this is the Ronald’s universal number kounter of graphics libraries
There’s downsides too. Such as the bottles debacle with how RPM maintainers package software that sometimes left his apps outdated or broken.
I’m in the boat that Fedora packages might be better than a random user who abandons their repack later, but flatpaks from the original Devs is ideal :)
Yeah I’ve had multiple times where a silly process (usually a game running via WINE) will shit itself and lock the whole desktop. it’s my only gripe even if it’s rare
Most of them won’t be that different when you’re not running anything that’s pushing your system to its limits. Zen might be a bit faster in games or benchmarks, RT really won’t do much unless you’re running software that needs Real-time processing (you shouldn’t use it for general use).
Hardened and zen are the only ones you might benefit from, but not really massively.
This will and probably has got a bunch of flak but I’m with you. There’s nothing wrong with recognising when we can pick a better term for something we enjoy.
Like, I get why people use “-porn” as a suffix and it isn’t offensive to me but I still won’t use that in a workplace. It’d be cool if someone thought of a better neologism!
They’re definitely some of the best wallpapers. I love the artistic liberties they took with it.
Personally though I use the GPU Shader wallpapers in KDE which work a treat (and aren’t very taxing at all depending on the one you pick!). That or Simon Stalenhag whose art is featured as one of the slideshow sources for the dynamic wallpaper plugin inside KDE.
“But they’re just TV shows” “it’s not that deep” etc. I would implore you to listen to this excellent episode of Citations Needed..
It covers how modern cop shows were invented directly to counter shows that portrayed defence lawyers as the protagonists, along with a general push to lionize the police state despite its inability to prevent crime or deliver real justice.
I’ve installed W11 for gf and I sorta see the appeal but they clearly had no idea what to do with the whitespace in the bottom left caused by moving the start button and instead filled it with a nonsense button that’ll inevitably get clicked billions of times by people expecting it to be the start button.
The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggle.
Freeman and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and serf, guild-master and journeyman, in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight, a fight that each time ended, either in a revolutionary reconstitution of society at large, or in the common ruin of the contending classes.
