  • If you don't want to be monogamous, don't, just be polyamorous and date other polyamorous people. It's a really bad excuse for cheating when there's plenty of relationship arrangements where this isn't a problem. There's no need to deceive unwilling people and cheat on them when you can find partners who think the same as you and you don't need to cheat on in the first place. You're still dealing with other people with feelings on the end.

    I'd have to really go out of my way to cheat on my wife when the only rule is to have safe sex (or be safe in general).

  • It wouldn't surprise me if it's interpreted similarly as "Microsoft Word proficiency" in recruiter speak, which really means, are you able to type a letter in it and hit the print button.

    The most I would expect is maybe finding your way in a shell, to run a render on a beefy server over SSH or something like that. Some familiarity and the will to learn is probably good enough.

  • That and make wages catch up with inflation. Deflation causes all sorts of problems but driving wages up just makes people wealthier.

    We'll just have to get used to bigger numbers.

  • LDAC works just fine on Linux, but may be a different package or repo since it's somewhat proprietary. Just worked out of the box for me on Arch.

  • I think P2P has stood the test of time. Torrents scale extremely well, any large scale video would have so many peers the server wouldn't have to participate at all. These days most torrents easily saturate my gigabit connection no problem with just a handful of peers. Torrents tends to spread like wildfire.

    The main issue would be storage space, but I think a lot of YouTubers would be perfectly okay with spending $5-10 a month to pay for the storage costs with all the benefits you get from not being tied to YouTube's ToS and policies. It's a drop in the bucket compared to the earnings from sponsor spots.

  • want someone to prove his LLM can be as insightful and accurate as paid one.

    The full DeepSeek model is available for download, and should generate about the same quality answers as the official one, with the bonus of less censorship. I pretty trivially got it to talk about the Tiananmen Square, and they can't even ban me for it.

    That said, that's rarely the point. It's usually because you can, a cost saving measure, sometimes you plainly just don't need a good model, sometimes you want privacy, sometimes you need privacy at the cost of quality.

    If your business is shoving customer reviews into a model, you really don't need the best model for it to tell you how angry the customer is.

    Personally I just do it for fun and because I can. Sometimes you just do things for no other reason than because you can.

  • I feel about the same. I don't particularly care about it, but it's nice to know how many I helped. It was intentionally removed, I believe so it doesn't incentivise karma farms. If karma exists it will be used and there will be reasons to farm it.

    Nothing a quick Postgres query can't fix though :p

  • Another reason to use ~/.local is you can do things like

     
        
    ./configure --prefix=$HOME/.local
    make -j$(ncpu)
    make install
    
      

    And then you get your .local/bin, .local/share, .local/include, .local/lib and such, just like /usr but scoped to your user.

    and it should mostly just work as well.

  • Yes but OP took the string representation of the IPv4 and base64'd it, I was addressing that part specifically.

  • That base64 is so long, and doesn't need to be. An IP address is 4 bytes so it could be represented as simply 8 hex digits (base64 also expands to 8 due to padding).

  • Have you tried not subscribing to those communities?

    The main difference with Reddit is Reddit excludes all NSFW and quarantined subs from the all feed, Lemmy doesn't. So if your instance federates with porn instances yeah, the all feed is gonna suck.

  • That was 7 years ago. People grow up.

  • That was 7 years ago, and he seems to have distanced himself from that past. He's kind of retired from the whole gaming channel thing and does more family life things.

    People can grow a lot in 7 years, I sure did.

  • I really like the positive vibe and "here's what you can do with Linux, for funsies" instead of the usual "here's all the problems I had and I switched back".

    No "it's perfect", no "it runs all my games", just "I tried it and had a blast setting it all up". He's legit enjoying it and sharing those feelings is powerful.

  • It's shaping up to be pretty good at least. It's pretty good for being in alpha state still.

    The main thing it needs to beat for me is Kwin's excellent Wayland support. Everything just works.

    The per-screen workspaces are appealing though.

  • Not an explanation or proper fix, but running the games through Gamescope might fix it by side effect. In gamescope the game would never lose focus and so shouldn't have problems resuming afterwards.

  • For what it's worth, I experience none of that. My laptop is absolutely rock solid with KDE, it's like a MacBook you pull it out of your backpack and it's ready to go before I'm even done opening the screen.

    My desktop is currently just over 5 days of continuous uptime (no sleep). I've crashed more often because of ZFS than KDE.

    Both are ArchLinux. I also have a friend on Bazzite that doesn't have issues with KDE either, and it runs great in my VM.

    Those all sound like possible graphics driver issues.

  • It's definitely not for everyone. It's a very complex show with a lot of symbolism, and you kind of have to think for yourself what's really the implications of what's going on.

    I was hooked from beginning to end, but it's definitely pretty boring if you don't get the subtext, or simply want an easy sit back and relax kind of show.

  • Pacman just does a lot less work than apt, which keeps things simpler and more straightforward.

    Pacman is as close as it gets to just untar'ing the package to your system. It does have some install scripts but they do the bare minimum needed.

    Comparatively, Debian does a whole lot more under the hood. It's got a whole configuration management thing that generates config files and stuff, which is all stuff that can go wrong especially if you overwrote it. Debian just assumes apt can log into your MySQL database for example, to update your tables after updating MySQL. If any of it goes wrong, the package is considered to have failed to install and you get stuck in a weird dependency hell. Pacman does nothing and assumes nothing, its only job is to put the files in the right place. If you want it to start, you start it. If you want to run post-upgrade, you got to do it yourself.

    Thus you can yank an Arch system 5 years into the future and if your configs are still valid or default, it just works. It's technically doable with apt too but just so much more fragile. My Debian updates always fail because NGINX isn't happy, Apache isn't happy, MySQL isn't happy, and that just results in apt getting real unhappy and stuck. And AFAIK there's no easy way to gaslight it into thinking the package installed fine either.

  • Yeah that's a pretty good point. As a technical user that seems solid but for the average user that makes sense.
