  • A separate /home can save you hours or even days in several occasions however don't try crazy things like trying to have KDE of Ubuntu share same theme/settings with KDE6. A /var on a fast drive can create wonders too.

  • Unsurprisingly it is the gigantic EA application which breaks Sims 4 most of the times. It crashes, Steam notices non zero exit and gives up.

    EA isn't so managed so they don't even reach MS to stop pushing alpha/beta updates to stable version of their apps via Winget. So you can guess how much they will care about Linux issues. I mean Steam guys won't really hack their binaries to fix it so it is up to them.

  • I think I have read this suggestion at Reddit: "Make people who wants to use API as clients pay. " The app doesn't have to have API key, user pays a very reasonable money to access Reddit with their favourite application. Obviously it would come with sane for human browsing limits and AI leechers should pay millions.

    Just like a plain old radio station where you can access from web page for free but you need to subscribe for better AAC, high quality streams and standard VLC support.

  • You know the very credible sounding theory that Musk bought Twitter to drown it. He used Middle Eastern funds etc. and those people owning these gigantic funds had nightmares because Twitter made it so easy to organise mass unrest. I want to believe this crazy sounding theory since other option would be someone having such a capital, know how and influence is that dumb.

    What if this is just a plot to kill Reddit? While crypto bros polluted it a lot, it was very similar with Twitter. Freedom of speech, diversity. It may have bugged people.

  • What is the term for people who do buy things on your behalf and get their cut no matter what happens? Market manipulators have such connections.

    Obviously these people providing the service are crooks and criminals so they can do anything. It isn't like you will call the police :-)

  • Say a negative thing about Brave or any of alt right hate campaigns against anyone who likes diversity. They will keep down voting whatever you post/comment and insane things happen. E.g. 2 comments supporting the same idea in the same post scoring +20 and -20. The best thing to do against is not to be there at the first place. People who think they are highly technical, nerd, bright or have elite taste shouldn't work for Spez, for free.

  • I am not American tax payer but what does American government and independent organisations do regarding influencers are being bribed to help a high profile IPO?

    E.g. a user will have 200K+ karma and thousands of followers and will get pre IPO share. So, will "duckyduck" will sure sit on a corner and will never try to benefit his stock? They won't post to wall street bets? Because of ethics?

  • What they do on several Reddit subs is market manipulation. I really wonder what keeps FED/FTC away from seeing this fact. They are allowing a service serving to market manipulation by criminals to have a IPO. So let's say your post to wall Street bets is clearly illegal but it serves to Reddit. Will they hurry removing it or even removing the sub? The crypto gangs there are even worse, don't mess with them. These guys are very well connected in real life, you know guns etc.

  • Once more we will ignore the elephant in the room which is owned by a advertising giant. Android. Their OEM agreement was designed so bad that it makes you wonder if it does serve a purpose? I can theoretically easily compile the wpa_supplicant on the phone itself however I won't be able to install/run it. Manufacturer even gave up the brand name itself. Billions of walking zombie devices as the result.

  • It will become a subscription business with EULA.

    It should really replace this petrol powered junk but this is what ultimately happens with such suits in charge. Do you think people will choose better? How many Fairphones or Linux desktops have you seen in real life? They choose slavery.

    Speaking of slavery, China does make better cars with great price. I just wonder how many gigabyte per month these cars send to China? So it's either future Mercedes car with Apple carOS coming with subscription or Chinese spycar. Make your choice.

    Or choose community/cycle transport, something better fit to 2024.

  • IMHO with 5+G and symmetric 1G+ speeds becoming generic soon, it seems "network is the computer" minus Ellison's evil intentions happening.

    Even today, most people can't or won't own a top end GPU with a decent amount of memory. Ok you can afford it but it will be outdated in 6 months. I would get a service instead so I really wouldn't care about pixels per second.

    I am telling these as a person who uses Wayland for a very long time even on GPUs including nv9400, thanks to Nouveau. So I don't have anything against Wayland but same time, I am using X remote functionality every single day to do things.

    The colour correcting capabilities are just getting stable, developers are systemd like arrogant and disconnected from real life.

  • IMHO the staff is corrupt. Why? I have seen crooks with verified and unverified accounts advertised scam schemes involving several multi billion companies in Turkey for weeks.

    It included AI generated famous people advertising stocks, fake video ads, blatant logo piracy. These things can be detected with personal computer AI let alone Facebook's gigantic system.

    Every single report binned, bounced. I know the multi billion/trillion system, whatever feedback sent to a brand will also reach continent and main HQs no matter what. For example, send feedback about a Starbucks Ankara, it will find its way to Seattle too. So, it seems there is a well established gang inside company who made millions or even tens of millions.

    Just like CP, this is a very risky job. A multi billion energy company isn't a force to mess with, they have endless amounts of cash, lawyers and at the last resort "guys" who they can call.

  • This is absurd anyway.

    There is something working out there which can be implemented by anyone even including entire countries and we keep seeing YouTube links everywhere. Even NASA gave up their streaming service. It once supported any kind of player and they didn't even need to pay for it. Any streaming host will carry NASA TV, they may even pay extra for the privilege.

    This isn't ignorance, some people are getting paid big time. Also a reminder for countries other than USA: You are using a American company service which is bound to American laws. You are also sending your citizens and their money to a foreign service.
