No romhacker or homebrew developer worth their salt will touch any of this. Using leaked material is legally significantly more dangerous than REing. I look forward to seeing the TCRF pages, though.

I’ve seen Linux users scream over basic transparently implemented opt-in telemetry. Something like this would absolutely not go over well were it implemented in a popular distro.

Nah, Lemmy is not really representative of the wider Windows userbase. The willingness to switch away from Windows is definitely going to be far higher in those who were willing to switch away from Reddit.

What exactly does Valve stand to gain at all from funding a CUDA compatibility layer targetting mainly machine learning software? They’re a video game company. Arguably the most gaming-centric thing CUDA is used for was explicitly discarded in the blog post (“Raytracing is gone”).

Machine learning is massive now and there are many companies who could be interested in funding this kind of project. I’m pretty skeptical it’s possible to make any good guesses with what little info we have.

Visit about:compat. Sites already do that. Firefox can deal.

Obviously. ES6 isn’t out yet. The point is that there are many things ES6 could improve over Skyrim if they tried.

Dunno, I think I prefer patents. Unlike copyright, patents usually last a flat twenty years. Copyright expires either after 95 years or 70 years after the death of the author, which is ludicrous. Both are constantly abused, but at least patents expire in a reasonable amount of time.

I see. Will avoid, then. I don’t like lucid dreaming, always wake up right away. Whenever I notice I’m dreaming it becomes hard not to notice that I’m in my bed and that I can feel my covers and by that point it’s all over, so whenever I notice I’m dreaming I just cut the crap and open my eyes for a couple of seconds to wake myself up and then close them again so I can get back to proper sleep.

Is this really useful? Like, is this something people ever need to do? I don’t do lucid dreams very often, but the rare times a dream has lead me to the thought of “hold on, am I dreaming?” were basically immediately answered by just, uh, vibes, I guess? Like, it’s always just been instantly obvious that I’m dreaming the moment I’d start questioning it, no tests necessary. At worst I might have to try to remember what I did the day before and what I was supposed to be doing that day and see if that is at all compatible with the scenario I’m dreaming about, which it usually isn’t.

itch.io also has a Linux app

So… why are people upset about this? I’d say it’s about damn time. Having two settings apps is pretty ridiculous and it’s honestly crazy it’s taken them this long to ditch the control panel. I still remember people making fun of Microsoft’s inability to drop control panel in the Windows 10 era. Is there anything special about the control panel or uniquely terrible about the settings app that would warrant this kind of negative reaction? Is it because of the settings that aren’t available in settings? If they’re preparing to drop control panel that probably means they’re going to add whatever settings are still stranded on it to the new settings app, unless there’s evidence that they won’t do that.

The fact that the word “alienation” already existed doesn’t mean Marx didn’t have a specific theory about alienation in specific contexts that ended being pretty influential for philosophy. Like, holy shit, Marx’s theory of alienation isn’t obscure. Do a minimum of research before spouting ignorant bullshit.

Yuzu wasn’t. Suyu was.

There is no such thing as a fully uncontacted tribe. The term is used to refer to peoples that choose to remain in isolation. Therefore, “uncontacted” and “reclusive” can more or less be used interchangeably.

this is just going to cause indexers to ignore robots.txt

devault has a site called sourcehut. that’s about all I know

These are known as the short scale and long scale systems respectively. Though the United States was indeed the first English-speaking country to switch to short scale, pretty much all English-speaking countries have used short scale almost exclusively for a long time, including the United Kingdom. Saying that it’s simply being influenced is an understatement. From Wikipedia:

British usage: Billion has meant 10⁹ in most sectors of official published writing for many years now. The UK government, the BBC, and most other broadcast or published mass media, have used the short scale in all contexts since the mid-1970s.^{[12][13][43][15]}

Before the widespread use of billion for 10⁹, UK usage generally referred to thousand million rather than milliard.^[16] The long scale term milliard, for 10⁹, is obsolete in British English, though its derivative, yard, is still used as slang in the London money, foreign exchange, and bond markets.

I’ve never actually seen the word milliard used in English outside of discussions about the long and short scale systems. However, many other languages do mainly or exclusively use long scale. For instance, my native language French.

Okular has JavaScript support. I think some things don’t work, but it’s worth a try.

Also, Adobe Reader had a native Linux version, so I wonder why the Snap is using Wine.

Source? PipeWire was designed to use those APIs. This is the first time I hear about it causing any particular issues or overhead.
