As a german communist lemmy app, i disagree

a general explanation and a video about the new tile

In maths, we are excited about new things even if they seem to have absolutely no practical value or application. Sometimes, things become important later on, like prime numbers, which have been studied just for fun for centuries, and are now the backbone of encrypted communication.

So the only reason why this exciting is because nobody did it before.

We solved the Ein Stein Problem. And when I say we I mean people way smarter than me and when i say ein stein i actually mean ein Stein as in german for one stone. It's a shape that can tile the plane infinitely without producing a repeating pattern.

Two months, 220 comments, 2 posts. But in 8 years on reddit i had like 10 posts and 2000 comments.

Thing is people who have bad things in mind are always more likely to use their own codes. You dont need an encrypted messenger to send encrypted messages. It's a boy.

But normal people who think that they have nothing to fear and therefore nothing to hide won't take that efforts upon them. They will live their lifes and one day they could be targeted by a government that wants to eradicate them. Using the data their predecessors gathered.

Privacy brings security under totalitarian regimes or in countries that shift in that direction. They might say if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear, but there are unjust conditions under which you have to hide things, like that you belong to minority that is targeted by the authorities. Like the nazis did in the third reich, where privacy was reduced during their takeover. Or that you belong to a party that is suddenly framed as evil and enemies of the nation. Or if you have connections to "traitors" or other "scum".

You're welcome!

No problem. As my edit above says, you can find out the exact chipset model this way:

1. Open a Terminal Emulator (xterm, kitty, konsole, yakuake....)
2. Enter lspci
3. Find the wifi chipset in the output (probably realtek) or post the output here if you have trouble finding it
4. Search for [chipset name] ubuntu drivers
5. There will be results with specific instructions for your chipset

Hey there. Some wifi chipsets need special drivers under linux. Which laptop do you have?

Edit: if it is an internal chipset you can find out which one exactly via lspci in a terminal

Thanks for sharing.

Basically the entire multiplayer space is locked out.

Not all multiplayer games use this anti cheat techniques (and those might just be working in the near future anyway). CS:Go works perfectly, Rocket League does, Dota 2 does, LoL did at least (I don't know what they're up to these days), 7 days to die does, paradox grand strategy does, Mordhau does, Path of Exile does, and those are only sone of the games I personally can confirm.

And they're not suitable for any normal person because the UX is a dumpster fire.

People who use Photoshop professionally mostly agree, that GIMP is a great app that has just a few drawbacks compared zo photoshop. The UI was a dumpster fire, but they sorted that out. Photo Editing is on par with photoshop, at least with other free plugins. If your UX sucks, maybe it's an error on osi layer 8.

Nobody with normal tv/movie content gives you comparable quality on Linux.

I'm still running 1080p on everything and Netflix delivers 1080p to all my linux boxes. Is there a problem with 4k?

Yes, normal people do need to collaborate. And no, none of the office options on Linux are capable of functional collaboration for normal people, except Google/microsoft through browser nonsense.

Which tools on windows allow easy collaborative office projects other than microsoft or google? Well, other than cryptpad, OnlyOffice, koofr, almost every nextcloud provider, etherpad...

Don't let OP fool you, it's a circular sector.

Gaming is fine unless the game has kernel level anti cheat. Minor compromise.

Photo editing tools are good enough for the needs of normal people. Gimp and Darktable are not dogshit, no compromise.

DRM under Firefox works. Never had a problem with it plus most people don't even watch on computers. No compromise.

Non techy people mostly not do collaborative projects. Plus registering for any cloud with office and collaboration is easy. Minor compromise.

You seem to be very misinformed. Browsers do not lack hardware acceleration. Some distributions do not include the necessary packets in their default configuration. Some. And when you get it to work, like in Arch Linux, where almost nothing is installed by default, it works flawlessly for years, never had an update breaking browser hardware acceleration.

I can run 12 4k youtube videos at the same time and route the audio to different channels of my different audio devices AND accept several calls from different webapps and the only thing that is not smooth is your way of discussing things LOL

Is it really wrong? Do you have numbers? I think the most people claim above is at least plausible. It surely fits my personal experience, but that is of course not worth much.

I would argue that most people use their PC for web browsing, light photo editing and personal office stuff and maybe gaming (at least outside work) and those people are not affected by "the software I need does not work and there is no alternative".

Erode this, motherf***ers
