I honestly think this is a good idea. From what I understand it's just making it easy to share the same link from reddit without having to copypaste a bunch of stuff, right? It's like reading an RSS feed or stumbling upon a cool thing you want to share and having an easy way to do so.

Don't worry about the naysayers. There are always a bunch of purists around that believe the world can be divided into black and white.

Lemmy-users won't be able to tell the difference between somebody who found a link and shared it by copy pasting or someone using the extension🤷 Good content is everywhere and where you found it shouldn't matter.

Put the source up on codeberg, publish the extension, and let people decide for themselves if they want to use it or not.

Good luck

Them being NVIDIA, it wouldn't surprise me at all if they pulled such shenanigans. Doubtful anybody wouldn't put it past them. (What a weird expression BTW, eh?)

Thanks. Let's see how it works out! 🙂

IMO, it would be better to have it the other way around i.e blog owner being a mod and being the only one allowed to post. It makes the intention of the community clear. Mod abuses could be dealt with using the modlog once somebody notifies mods or admins of abuse. Admins will thus only need to be involved when necessary and the blog owner can update the community as necessary (images, description, sidebar text, ...) instead of having to take up admin time for such stuff.

But if the admins disagree, I can be the test chicken for this current mode of working.

Thanks for the links. I'm not versed in drivers, but I expect most to talk to a proprietary firmware at some point. Most computers have a proprietary BIOS they have to talk to, though they do follow open standards. NVIDIA's GSP probably doesn't have open standards. Whether the API is documented might also be an area of concern.

At least this is a step forward. Good read 👍

This is by design. They could make switching easy, hut they explicitly choose to make it hard so that people think twice about it.

If this is what it takes for people to understand what privacy is... This is why "I have nothing to hide" is bullshit. You might become the registered Dutch Jew the Nazis are seeking, and surveillance capitalism don't just tell them where you live but also where you are this very moment.

Don't be daft, protect your privacy.

OK thanks for adding yourself. BTW, I thought I'd be able to stay on as moderator, in order to be able to post, since only mods can post. The idea is that as a blog community, others shouldn't be able to make posts, right? Is there another way to approve users who can post without making them mod?

It’s too bad that there’s still a proprietary binary layer that this driver will talk to. (I’m assuming right/wrong that it’s not open source, since it’s binary.)

I must've missed that from in the post. Do you have more information on that?

I created a community for my blog !onlinepersona@programming.dev and wanted to add an admin as a moderator, as per the rules, but there's no interface functionality for that. How do I appoint a new moderator?

Kernel Level Anti-Cheat is a security risk on Windows, plain and simple. It basically bypasses nearly anti-virus and gives game devs access to any and every part of the system. Bugs could lead to unfettered and persistent access for malware.

Additionally, it doesn't work out of the box on Linux in wine (wine isn't a windows kernel running on linux, so it most likely can't work).

Somewhere, somebody's having a meltdown because Rust is spreading more and more in the kernel.

Good to see that NVIDIA is writing opensource drivers (or starting to). I guess it's too much to ask to support old graphics cards, with NVIDIA mostly caring about money and a linux driver being an incentive to choose NVIDIA over AMD for some.

nix solved this by modifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the desired dependency and/or modifying the binary itself.

Port forwarding is premium? On what exactly? I must be out of the loop...

Uh...TIL there's a forgejo service on programming.dev? Does it have a CI?

Testing

Edit: LGTM

I think his dude would be better er served by radicle. He can host his seed node, people can push their branches into namespaces in the bare git repositories there, they can request that those branches be merged into a branch in his namespace, they can create tickets that are all stored in the git repositories, comments on patches/merge requests/etc. are also in git, he can add trusted contributors, and so on.

People don't have to create an account. Just a public key pair on their machine and they are off to the races.

I don't know his email, but somebody could mail him and make him aware of radicle.

Vivaldi? The closed source browser? How do you know it shares nothing?

Matrix and Revolt do exist. Revolt being the "spiritual" successor of Discord.
