Honestly if they wanted to kill TikTok, handing it to Oracle is an easy way to do it. Everything they touch turns to shit.

Xfinity/Comcast hijacks DNS, even if you use another DNS server (they just redirect DNS requests to them). I suspect that they're using it for analytics data to sell while disguising it as "security".

They also block access to root DNS servers, so you can't use a full DNS Resolver run locally. It's super f***Ed.

If you want to ensure they don't do it, use your own modem and always force DNS over TLS.

As long as it doesn't end up like Shady Sands.

It looks like it's going to be a staging ground for things to be merged into Weston proper, along with potentially some newer and better features coming to it exclusively or first.

As long as it's open source, sounds like a win to me. More AMD embracing Linux as a first party OS is good in my book.

It also started before that when GN/Steve got tired of LMG's inaccurate reporting, so he posted a deep dive into LMG issues with inaccuracy. That really started the public demolition of their working relationship.

I thought Phoronix tested it and find it to be pretty good?

Still don't understand this. For $140 you're 1/3 the way to a brand new OLED deck and even closer to a refurbished one. And you have an LCD model you can sell to make up the difference.

Same idiots that voted for him

Oh absolutely, but it's good to see competition.

Really impressive what a $219 and $249 card can do against cards that cost $50-150 more. It's basically stomping the 4060 for $50 cheaper in most tests.

Every endpoint device I use is using full disk encryption, yes.

As a fellow Debian (and Mint) enjoyer, I agree.

What are you doing step-Linux Bro?

Now they can join in on the fights about which distro is best, get long socks, and post to unixsocks.

If it works, it's fine to use GE builds, but generally I just leave it on the default for Steam and only change it if I have a problem.

This is the way

Thank you. Corrected.

Server is rebooted, as needed, for updates. I think it just got a kernel update two weeks ago, so it probably only has ~14 days of uptime.

My desktop and laptop are shut down when not in use. Leaving them on when not in use is pointless.

Never understood obsessions with "uptime". If you have high numbers for uptime, you're a bad sysadmin/maintainer of your hardware unless the appliance is purpose-built to be always up and air gapped.

I couldn't care less about "the masses". Most of the world are morons.

On the plus side, it's nice that you don't need a new ID for every Lemmy instance.
