Agreed.

consumer disclosure report

A company that I worked for partnered/worked with LN. They are legit. Some of the smartest people I know. They are a very old data warehouse (among many other things) company.

If you would like the same report done: https://consumer.risk.lexisnexis.com/consumer They make it very easy.

mesamunefire ,

Depends on which state you are in. If your from California, for example, you can tell them to not keep any data.

mesamunefire ,

That's f'ed up.

mesamunefire ,

Mastodon has been great.

mesamunefire ,

Wine + proton/valve has made it very easy to run most anything windows related nowadays. I would expect this to help make Linux gain market share.

I'm still on the fence if gaining market share is a good thing ultimately, but I'm hoping to see it play out.

mesamunefire ,

I've thrown older games at proton and wine and have made them work. Meantime the same game will work on Windows 10 with heavy modifications and does not work in 11.

Also at work, we are dealing with a legacy app that runs... everything? Or at least just about. It works in Windows 10 but has some bugs in 11. I'm tempted to see if wine can fix the issue lol.

Linux market share passes 4% for first time (arstechnica.com)

We see the nearly 33-year-old OS’s market share growing 31.3 percent from June 2023, when we last reported on Linux market share, to February. Since June, Linux usage has mostly increased gradually. Overall, there's been a big leap in usage compared to five years ago. In February 2019, Linux was reportedly on 1.58 percent of...

The new arch continues to mess up brew, which is by far what people use for development on the platform. In addition, docker and other custom tools are paid on Mac but free on Linux. With companies tightening their belts, Linux is starting to make financial sense.

downdetector

Looks like it may have been AWS or something. All kinds of services were down a moment ago. Guess thats what happends when everything is on major cloud services.

mesamunefire ,

Maybe, I would expect redundancy. But ultimately I have no clue. I just remember the last time AWS went down. It seemed that a majority of the sites that I used daily were down all in one go.

mesamunefire ,

Crypto did have the asci miners (I think I have that right?) that were much much faster than GPU after the initial push. I would expect the ai craze to do the same.

mesamunefire ,

I worked with that and COBOL lol. I'll never be without a job I guess.

DB2 isn't terrible tbh but of course I want to use something like postgres if I had the choice.

mesamunefire ,

If someone volunteered to be laid off wouldn't that invalidate their unemployment?

mesamunefire ,

A couple devs i know got hit by this. They are going after anyone and everyone.

mesamunefire OP ,

I never knew you could do this with simple LEDs! So cool.

mesamunefire OP ,

Im finding more people are engaged here. On reddit, often times my messages get no responses. On lemmy, Ill at least get something.

mesamunefire OP ,

Even if it never gets any bigger than what we have now, thats fine. Personally, im finding people to be much nicer here.

mesamunefire OP ,

Lol wallstreatbets are already talking about shorting those stocks. It's going to be funny.

mesamunefire ,

If they did that, it would be sold out for years before you or I could get it.

mesamunefire ,

Yeah most of the companies have a different name. That and personally not attractive to those of us in the industry.

mesamunefire ,

Nice! Thats a cool project, ill have to give it a try. I love the idea of self hosting local LLMs. Ive been playing around with: https://lmstudio.ai/ and it directly downloads from hugging face.

mesamunefire ,

Reminds me of that pokemon episode where ash and everyone was at school lol.

mesamunefire ,

That's the one haha.

mesamunefire ,

10+ years with Linux as my daily driver (yeah I'm old). When my os updates, it's almost always with some feature that's pretty neat.

Nowadays the steamdeck or some combo of Linux with steam can play my games, do my work, and I actively make other people's lives better when I contribute.

mesamunefire ,

Anyone can. It's part of what makes it great.

mesamunefire ,

Yep you can do the same operations with a RTLSDR (20-40$) and a signal repeater (20ish) and raspberry pi/netbook. It's somewhat harder to do if you don't know the software but it really just exposes very insecure hardware. Companies should put a semblance of security and it would take care of things. These kind of devices are everywhere not just the flipper. Flipper just made it a tiny bit more friendly.

mesamunefire ,

If they gave me an incentive that would be nice. As it stands, gas is cheaper than electric where we are at in California. It would take a huge amount of money for us to switch but I would like to.

Inside the shifting plan at Elon Musk’s X to build a new team and police a platform ‘so toxic it’s almost unrecognizable’ (fortune.com)

Inside the shifting plan at Elon Musk’s X to build a new team and police a platform ‘so toxic it’s almost unrecognizable’::X's trust and safety center was planned for over a year and is significantly smaller than the initially envisioned 500-person team.

mesamunefire ,

With bluesky and Mastodon, I really dont see people coming back to the platform. The network effect works both positive and negatively. If less people are using the platform, it will accelerate the move to other platforms.

mesamunefire ,

Mastodon really isn't that difficult to hook into. I hope they federate at some point.

mesamunefire ,

Full source?

mesamunefire ,

Every year is record setting heat in our area. Fire season is now a thing.

mesamunefire ,

Use a google voice number or give it bunk data. But it is BS.

mesamunefire ,

Worked for me?

mesamunefire ,

That sucks. Maybe they changed it recently or something. Darn. Well gl!

mesamunefire ,

I work in government and we have systems that are planning on going live that will automate entire departments away coming in 2024-2025. It's not perfect but it is being iterated like you said. It's all about reducing headcount over the long run.
