Microsoft is the "Linux salesman of the year" because most people switching to Linux do it just because Windows has become so terrible.

Reddit Is Taking Over Google (tech.slashdot.org)

Reddit, Quora, and other internet forums that have climbed up through the traditional set of Google links. Data analysis from Semrush, which predicts traffic based on search ranking, shows that traffic to Reddit has climbed at an impressive clip since August 2023. Semrush estimated that Reddit had over 132 million visitors in...

Hubi ,

Do you really want to chat about that with the distilled essence of a million redditors?

Hubi ,

Hosting costs probably. Rolling back a patch is a rare scenario and Steam would have to host every version of every game in their store on their servers indefinitely.

Hubi ,

this is literally me when i live in a society

Hubi ,

That is somehow even stranger.

Hubi ,

These are aftermarket taillights.

Hubi ,

I hated Windows 8 enough to put up with it at the time. It's nuts how much things have improved since then.

Hubi ,

falcrony.party has to be the most niche instance ever.

Fewer people are using Elon Musk’s X as the platform struggles to attract and keep users, according to analysts (www.nbcnews.com)

Data from two research firms and figures published by Musk and X suggest a deteriorating situation for X by some metrics. Musk has marketed it as the world’s “town square,” but in number of users it continues to lag far behind social media rivals that focus on video, such as Instagram and TikTok. ...

He's the best example of someone falling upwards. He's not much more than a cash cow for other people running the companies that he owns and their successes are not happening because of Musk, they are happening despite of him. It goes as far as SpaceX allegedly using "handlers" to keep him from interfering with the actual development. I'm pretty sure that you, as a mod of !mechanicadvice, have more technical experience as the guy who claims to be the genius behind Tesla.

The reason that Musk is making these obviously dumb decisions at Twitter is because it's 100% his toy to play with and there's nobody else running the show for him. What we are seeing is essentially the unfiltered effect that he has on a business.

how can something be so courageous and yet so true (slrpnk.net)

Edit: Jesus Christ, people. If you buy a $150 Thinkpad made by slave labor instead of a $1,200 MacBook made by slave labor, you're still supporting a capitalist economy based on slave labor. We all do. We have no choice. The number of smug liberals in the comments saying "well I buy a cheap used laptop" or "well I buy coffee...

Hubi ,

If you buy used, the manufacturer makes zero profit. It's a pretty substantial difference ethically.

Hubi ,

It's only half a kneel, so let's just call it eel.

Hubi ,

No cap?

Hubi ,

Nice reference

Hubi ,

For the same reasons that fast food is popular. It's basically dumbed down mindless consumption. I used to be on reddit because I could talk to like-minded people about interesting topics, but the vast majority of people on the internet just want to be entertained and with the support of the admins, they ended up taking over the site. Sure, there are some niche communities where you can have valuable discussions but their time is limited. It's essentially an artificially accelerated Eternal September.

Hubi ,

Same here, at least so I thought until I started distro-hopping out of curiosity. And I learned that there are a ton of Nvidia specific problems on a lot of different distributions. I guess I just got lucky with my main setup that I've been using since around the same time.

But the opposing candidate was depicted as a crying soyjak and my candidate was the nordic gamer chad! How could I not vote for him?!

Hubi ,

The only sad thing about this is that only one of them can lose the lawsuit.

Hubi ,

Is something like this actually enforceable? That's like Microsoft saying you can't use Wine on Linux.

Hubi ,

If you upload an image from your browser, there's a little popup in the corner for a few seconds that allows you to delete it again. No such thing exists in the apps though and if you miss the popup, that's it.

Hubi ,

Exact same thing happened to a friend of mine a few months ago. Guess who took his package while he was at work? That's right, the garbage men.

Hubi OP ,

Tbh I've never used anything other than Nvidia hardware on Linux and I've only ever had some minor annoyances over the past 10 years. Nvidia has a bad rep in this community because of the closed source drivers, not so much because of stability or compatibility.

Hubi ,

You don't

Hubi ,

There are a bunch of alternatives like Tildes and Raddle, but they are tiny in comparison. Lemmy is the place to be if you want a reddit-style platform.

Hubi ,

Correction: The Thinkpad is not optional.

Chat Control May Finally Be Dead: European Court Rules That Weakening Encryption Is Illegal (tuta.com)

The EU Court ruled that “Backdoors may also be exploited by criminal networks and would seriously compromise the security of all users’ electronic communications. The Court takes note of the dangers of restricting encryption described by many experts in the field.” Any requirement to build in backdoors to encryption...

Hubi ,

Finally some good news among all the recent doomerism.

Hubi ,

It's been happening for the better part of a decade though. And started probably much earlier than that, just not as blatant.

Hubi ,

Yup, shreddit has the ability to use the csv from the data request. Took me about 24 hours to edit and erase the 20.000+ comments I made over the last 10 years.

Hubi ,

The difference is that Linux generally adopts new technology because it enhances the user experience in some way, and not because it maximizes ad revenue and telemetry.

Hubi ,

I have a Xbox 360 that has currently more than 800 games installed locally.

Hubi ,

I don't think that's what "mom would be sad" is implying here.

Hubi ,

I wonder if anyone has actually managed to do this

Hubi ,

The problem is all the carbon that is emitted to transport the ice from Greenland halfway around the world for no other reason than bullshit marketing.

Hubi ,

Okay now I'm convinced

Hubi ,

Most software on Linux is configured to place their config files in ~/.config. Some others, like the ones in the pic, just dump them directly into your home folder.

Hubi ,

We already had this figured out in the 1920s:

Oh yeah, I've seen this one before. Turns out the 5th wheel is not a new concept:

I imagine it's a lot more expensive to manufacture than the angled front wheels, but those only worked on the old body styles.
