  • Heh for me even the newest models like the new Claude are only really useful when I did the thinking and the initial code writing, and i ask it to simplify it or to make it use more efficient libraries/features. Because when asking it to do my work it produces shit, and im very junior level

  • Doesn't matter, the app has access to a unique device ID as well as an advertising id that the os provides free of charge without any user prompt! And that happens on both iOS and Android! How magnificent

  • Make backups of your important files, or use a separate home partition. When I used arch, more than once I had a bricked install after doing updates. The last straw for me was when after updating my network completely went out. I switched to fedora and haven't had issues for 2+ years. Also, (this goes for every distro, but more so arch than others) NEVER update if you don't have at least some time in front of you in case something happens. Arch was definitely a good learning experience and it was fun at first tweaking everything, but the drawbacks in stability got a bit old after a while. The AUR is a godsend and it's the best thing ever, you should also be using an AUR helper like Yay to make your life easier.

  • When my company provided neuralink with crowdstrike installed crashes and forces me to sleep so I and half the country can't work the next day

  • Please don't bring 2018 memes back, they can stay in their grave. Imo terms of memes I think this was the very worst era.

  • Maybe. still extremely cool and I will 100% use it and play with it. This can also help with the claims of a phone replacing a desktop computer like we've seen with the desktop mode and Samsung Dex.

  • True, just side graded from a S23 base to a pixel 9, the pixel is a lot better in many ways. Mainly the UI is clunky and everything is bloated on the galaxy. There's way too many features and way too little thought that went into organizing said features. Meanwhile the pixel is beautifully animated and has very nice and actually convenient features for calls for example. Most of the galaxy features I feel are just toys and gimmicks. The pixel is also more repairable with their online parts pairing tool as well as being more open to custom ROMs

  • I mean... Yeah, it pretty obviously was a mistake from the beginning. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just as bad as the conspiracy theorists who think there's a deep state controlling us with the 5g in the vaccines. Facebook don't have any incentive to ban the word Linux, even they use it. It's not like it's a subject that would make their customers go away (like NSFW stuff for example). The shit I've seen people say "it's probably Microsoft paying them to censor Linux users" as if 1. Linux is any threat to windows's market share and 2. Microsoft didn't intentionally keep Linux alive as a way to avoid antitrust lawsuits. Microsoft is big on Linux too with azure.

  • The big search engine crawlers like googles or Microsoft's should respect your robots.txt file. This trick affects those who don't honor the file and just scrape your website even if you told it not to

  • Hell Nvidia's stock plummeted as well, which makes no sense at all, considering Deepseek needs the same hardware as ChatGPT.

    It's the same hardware, the problem for them is that deepseek found a way to train their AI for much cheaper using a lot less than the hundreds of thousands of GPUs from Nvidia that openai, meta, xAi, anthropic etc. uses

  • 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

    If at the very least he worded it as "they are rich people and they will judge you if you don't behave like them" but this sounds wrong. But I do get it. But still I don't really. But I kinda do.

  • Of course, but the articles make it seem like it will 6x the performance in some games when in reality it won't because the performance gain is already factored in upstream proton

  • These articles are very misleading because Proton is already patched to include fsync (I think it's fsync). So basically there won't be any performance improvement for most games under 99.999% of setups. Still a good thing that this is merged because it means the regular wine outside of proton will now be on par with proton

  • New soyjack unlocked?

  • I see why that may not be an ideal position in an ideological sense, where every distro uses the same thing, but i see it the other way around: it's a way to finally attempt to standardize Linux desktops. Having a standard desktop is crucial for mainstream adoption, because developers won't bother supporting 4837 different combinations of software. This is the reason I am really excited for the future with flatpak, xdg-portals, systemd, pipewire, Wayland etc etc. This way the distro is no longer the platform, it's the distro agnostic software stack that becomes the target platform. For example there's no longer a need to support KDE's file picker, and gnome's file picker and xfce's, you can just call the portal and it will (should) display a file picker. And if the user doesn't have a supported environment (which the vast majority don't) then the burden is on them for being different I guess :p

  • To be fair customization is a good thing, the problem is it's too easy to accidentally get into too advanced settings. It feels like the settings most people want 95% of the time are burried in the same place as the niche settings. The gnome tweaks app often gets criticized because it contains basic settings, but I think it could be beneficial for plasma to have the same thing. Only keep the base level user settings the the settings, and put all the customization stuff in a separate tweaks app. The simple by default, powerful when needed moto is true to some extent, but the simple by default part could be much improved and a lot more intuitive

  • Its probably a screenshot taken from an app that adds a fade to black at the top

  • I wouldnt tell anyone i use Reddit irl let alone Lemmy

  • Very thorough overview, I really like the charge limit feature, I previously had to use an extension to manage it
