I think Windows 10 going EOL is a good opportunity for Linux. People know how objectively bad Windows 11 is and how intrusive Microsoft ads can be.

I'm all in for terminal games. GUI games are bloat.

Ok so it's basically a yet another point of fragmentation. Nice.

How is it different to runit or openrc?

Well I'm glad you haven't experienced it on the platforms you use. I personally did (and it's not just about Lemmy and Mastodon) and saw others reporting it so that's why my opinion is different. Though I agree it's not always the case and some instances/platforms can be better than others.

 

No like seriously, I get that the admins work for free but FOSS is supposed to be about freedom and making products that everyone can benefit from yet still the bias is simply hilarious sometimes and concerning usually.

For the record, I'm talking about conflicts of different opinions here, not justifying hate speech or extremism. I know there is a major difference between FOSS and Big Data in terms of treatment of troll behavior (with the latter supporting it because it generates engagement), but it is clearly being misunderstood and abused now.

I even think I'd rather recommend proprietary options to others at this point because of mental health risks. Yes, I know that some major platforms are quite heavily biased politically (with X even being accused in supporting fascism) but it's not as bad as being biased in everything imo.

Can't we finally understand that the modern trends in most cultures praise exclusiveness (often cleverly disguised as distorted inclusiveness which sounds impossible but is actually a case and it hurts people's understanding of the latter) and work against it? Or at least we could do it for the FOSS reputation.

On the positive note though, Mastodon that is probably the biggest FOSS social platform seems to be pretty good (though probably a bit too close to the Big Data in terms of troll treatment). Could it be because of the size?

 

I think it's just nice to be able to verify a file with a right click instead of opening the terminal and typing the *sum command. Yes, it is technically bloat, but also good for time saving.

What's the point of removing NVENC support for Kepler? Is there a CVE in old drivers or something?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Hmm it could've been that. But also I saw a research paper and Intel won in almost every category there too.

I installed Debian at least 3 times and don't remember ever seeing that message.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (3 children)

How can a new user know that? Same with the domain name that Debian installer asks you to enter.

The tests I saw reported significantly higher performance on Intel. I'm really bad at searching stuff ngl. But that means Intel has pretty much 0 benefits nowadays so AMD is simply better for regular users and gamers.

Well I personally think having to read documentation ,manually set up sudoers and add repos is worse for the first impression than installing a distro that mostly just works.

 

What do you think about this? I'm personally against anything enabled by default, especially if it can cause slowdowns. However I understand the importance of backups so this change makes some sense.

 

Idk much about emacs but some people love it and probably will find it useful. Also the app seems to require a self-hosted backend so don't check it out if you're poor.

 

Many features are still incomplete and barebones but I think it's good to have it installed, especially for those who share and post photos all the time.
