  • Just think of all the juicy benefits of replacing journalists with machines. They'll never stumble or cough while presenting the news, they'll never call in sick, never age, never get mad as hell and decide to not take it any more, never resign from the editorial board in protest no matter what garbage you tell them is the news. Machines are just better suited to the job, it's inevitable.

  • They're Canadian politicians. Their entire careers have been built in a world where everyone who matters believes that party loyalty is super important, or at least acts as if they believe it. They're trying to do what they think is best for the Liberal party.

  • Iceraven is one alternative worth considering.

  • It's probably related to this: https://gitlab.com/relan/fennecbuild/-/merge_requests/63

    F-droid Fennec had build problems lately due to google removing big dependencies from its android package repo or whatever, so it's well out of date for now. The latest version there has at least that one well-known security problem that was in the news a few weeks ago. I don't know why you're getting notified about it now, I have it installed and didn't see that. But if you're risk-averse then you probably shouldn't currently be using it to visit websites that might be malicious.

    Recent comments over there suggest that progress is being made at last.

  • Believing people who say that sort of thing about the meaning of perfectly cromulent words like "fish", "bird", and "berry" is like going to the butcher shop to learn about horsemanship.

  • GPU has fallen off the bus.

    If you're lucky, it's an nvidia driver problem. If you're not, it's a hardware problem.

  • Well, he's not wrong that it's "super hard" to see any benefit of Denuvo for anyone other than the beneficial owners of Denuvo Software Solutions. Gamers might have a better than average ability to suspend disbelief, but that "new study" was pushing it a bit far.

  • Your particular complaints are better addressed to almighty God I suppose. So long as you don't blame linux kernel devs for them it's all the same to me.

  • Address your complaints to the government of the USA. Or, if you have the right to do so, cast a vote in the upcoming election there to prevent it taking a big step in the opposite direction from a world in which it might consider anything like similar sanctions against Israel.

  • You may be amazed to learn that there aren't many international sanctions against the USA at this time, but I imagine you could probably get into legal trouble for collaborating with Americans if you're in, I don't know, North Korea maybe.

  • Later in that thread:

    Please accept all of our apologies for the way this was handled. A summary of the legal advice the kernel is operating under is

    If your company is on the U.S. OFAC SDN lists, subject to an OFAC sanctions program, or owned/controlled by a company on the list, our ability to collaborate with you will be subject to restrictions, and you cannot be in the MAINTAINERS file.

  • Hello Internet commenters. Please remember that there's no rule that says you need to tell us all your gut reaction to this if you know absolutely nothing about the situation.

  • Windows users have regrets

    Mac users have stockholm syndrome

    Linux users have a computer

  • The various image hosting sites that people choose being down or otherwise dysfunctional seems more common than you'd think. One that's quite popular lately just flatly blocks all VPN and Tor users, leading to many broken images for some of us.

    It's too bad that the image cache you have stores things permanently. Having them expire after six hours or something would seem like a better option. Maybe somehow route it through a normal caching proxy instead of the built-in lemmy one?

  • Athena, goddess of wisdom, olives, and weaving.

  • It's find -L if you want it to follow symlinks.

  • Too long to read? I get it. Here’s the summary. Download Firefox.

    Yes. One option is to download it from here: https://librewolf.net/

  • I had that problem when I used whatsapp five years ago. Amazing that they still haven't fixed it.
