This has the same vibes as gamestop starting an nft marketplace.

Gives me hope for a proton drive app. As soon as that’s available and viable I’ll be able to drop my mega subscription.

I don’t know the whole deal with them, but off the top of my head I know it’s a very far-right social media site that was fairly mainstream for a while. It got a lot of media coverage after getting hacked, so I guess a lot of people ended up blocking it once they heard of it.

I don’t know the full story. They were probably just a bunch of trolls like a lot of the other instances.

It’s the number of instances that have blocked them.

Accounts can’t defederate afaik. There’s a way to block instances on some apps, but it’s client-side and really just hides posts from that instance.

Really basic summary

Federated means that instances are connected, i.e. lemmy.world accounts and posts can interact with sh.itjust.works ones.

Defederated means that one of the instances is blocked by the other, so all communication between the two is blacklisted.

Oh so they’re just straight up including malware with windows now. Cool.

Linux is about on-par with windows xp/7 as it stands, and it has been for a while. The reason people haven’t switched is OEM and software support.

Same honestly. Like it was a hunk of junk that didn’t work half the time, but I think people kinda forget that the scope was pretty ambitious. Being able to scan people’s bodies and get each limb’s position in 3D, and to do so in many different lighting conditions and room setups, is stuff we still barely have working today even with AI.

Like don’t get me wrong, the tech was jank as fuck, but as a kid it was genuinely really cool.

AI is a marketing term, the association is a deliberate choice by companies trying to market “the future”

Lost a couple hours of work on the snap version of krita since it couldn’t save the file for some reason. Switched away from Ubuntu as a whole after that experience.

Streaming peaked when I could watch Beakman’s World on my wii without ads or bullshit.

Honestly, fish is the only thing I hate about Garuda. The variety of commands is good, but doing any kinda scripting in it physically hurts me. Wish they kinda just stuck with a more conventional shell like zsh.

I don’t get why he’s so stubborn on X dot com being a thing. Especially since when I hear dot com I think of the 90s or early 2000s, and specifically the dot com bubble.

x.social or x.net sound way cooler tbh.

Cool. It should still use it though. If for nothing else than the parallelization improvements it allows.

If we stuck with the “it works fine so I’m not moving away from it” approach then we’d all still be on x11. Nvidia sucks and they should be more of a team player, but I think they were right to push for explicit sync over implicit. We should’ve been doing this from the beginning on wayland.

1. The hack mainly targeted Debian and fedora

2. Arch doesn’t directly link openssh to liblzma, so the hack doesn’t affect arch users.

Let me reverse this question and ask what is the benefit of dynamic typing? What is gained from vaguely defined objects?

The purpose of typed languages is to ensure the bare minimum when it comes to safety. That when you’re accessing a field of an object that field is real, and that field is always going to be an int or a string.

Try/catch only goes so far before it becomes way more cumbersome than necessary, as is checking every field of an object.

Typescript is an example of a language that does static typing poorly, because by design it has to. It’s a quick bandaid fix over an inherently awful language.

No. Dynamic typing, though, is absolutely a fad.

Ah. Still, neat pun.

On Linux (Mesa), this feature is known as PRIME.

OH THAT’S WHY IT’S CALLED OPTIMUS

Yeah it’s pretty much the same for me.
