It's a bit big for my taste, but nicely executed with 2 colors. I just wish the Lemmy logo weren't so craptacular (and watch out for those whiskers snapping off first!)
There's a wide range of options to go against NVIDIA when using Linux:
Not Open Source
Calls home to momma (often) with more info than it strictly needs- though some would put this in the column of win for faster reponse to fixes
Constant game of whack a mole with drivers, versions, updates breaking things
Ease of use
WAY overpriced (let's call AMD at least overpriced though)
I decided to go AMD 6+ years ago, and gaming is consistently good, I have spent a total of zero time fucking with drivers, and appreciate that AMD invests in the community vs. just profiting from it and the bang for the buck is a nice addition.
I tell everyone I know considering a gaming rig build to just go AMD - near same performance, better pricing, better drivers and company support / policies
Missing the point on purpose there to fit your agenda? OP is CLEARLY talking about nextdoor neighbors. When Vietnam moves continents, you let us know...
Quick edit - I upvoted your comment on JAG at Gitmo and DeSantis being a black hole for ethics, so I"m genuinely wondering why you're making the point about the Us and Wars.
What part of my post gives you the impression I believe anything Musk says, let alone something demonstrably false?
Did I need to put a /s on my post? Also, define "still here" when this was a hot post breifly in the top 6 hour slot, and not a community I'm subbing. I just don't understand how someone can misunderstand a post this badly. I guess the jokes on me and /s needs to be provided for those who miss context.
Some perspective from a user who's been on Magic Earth for well over a year:
It works very well. With a few quirks, it's like 90-95% as useful as Google Maps for a majority of personas
It's a mature app, finds most addresses (with possible exception of recent changes like a business moving)
Does surprisingly well with being current on traffic conditions
While not FOSS, they seem to be open about what they sell of your information and it's in aggregate, so I'm much less worried about location data being tied to other online dossiers I've left in my digital paper trail.
I found that Organic Maps and OsmAnd+ just couldn't cut it at all for finding addresses, routing wasn't super great (or intuitive), and otherwise rated very low on family acceptance as a replacement for Google Maps. I used Acastus Photon for addresses and frankly it's not that much better and the workflow was janky and pretty useless when you want to plot route waypoints. Magic Earth was the bridge between fully de-googling and having a livable acceptance factor. So far I haven't seen them doing anything they don't claim (not getting in trouble privacy-wise), so I'm good.
I would say "privacy friendly" is accurate in the title - but this is not FOSS. Even so for those looking to de-google without losing utility, I recommend it and am glad it exists.
Edit: I wish some apps (looking at you Starbucks!) would use a default mapping engine like Magic Earth instead of expecing Google Maps on Android phones (Graphene, Lineage, Calyx)
ITT: People who didn't read the article and realize this is a vaccine they inject the ticks with and is more about proving how the disease works in the ticks gut biome than any human trials. We've had human vaccines for many years, but they were pulled from the market. Yet dogs can get a vaccine today.
Musk, who is known for being a self-assigned “free speech absolutist”, has previously claimed that he is “against censorship that goes far beyond the law. If people want less free speech, they will ask the government to pass laws to that effect”.
He has also claimed that “free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated.”
My take was that most people 1) don't want Meta/Facebook spam - low effort memes, propaganda, etc. and 2) don't want their content to be used by Meta. The former seems pretty easy - just defederate and you don't see any of their crap. The second is sort of a gray area... Whether or not you are diametrically opposed to Meta/Facebook or not, once you post your content to a public site, it's available. I haven't been here long, but defederation seems to work both ways, so FB would have to scrape content from known instances to get that content unless I'm mistaken.
FB could smoke any instance by DDOSing scrapes whether intended or otherwise, but once you post your data on a public forum, Meta could theoretically use it.
But to your comment - I don't see what starting a new instance would do for anyone for #2. Any new instance is discoverable by nature, so FB can come knocking at any time for content whether you defederate or not.
That's an extra spicy keyboard
